About Dehaze
A calm, private way to quit weed — and a blog that tells you the truth about what stopping is actually like.
Why this exists
Most advice about quitting weed comes in two flavours: it is not addictive so there is nothing to quit, or it is a gateway drug and you have ruined your life. Neither is much use at 9pm on a Tuesday when you are trying not to.
Dehaze is built on a narrower and more useful premise: stopping is hard in specific, predictable ways, and those ways can be measured. Cravings peak and pass on a timescale of minutes. Withdrawal peaks and passes on a timescale of days. Money and hours accumulate on a timescale of weeks. An app that shows you those three clocks honestly is worth more than one that cheers at you.
So the app counts, and it does not scold. Your streak advances with time rather than effort, which means a bad day cannot take it away. If you relapse, you reset in one tap and your best streak stays on the board. There is no leaderboard, no social feed, and no notification designed to make you feel watched.
Who writes this
The Dehaze team writes about quitting weed: what withdrawal actually does, how long it lasts, what helps, and what only sounds like it helps.
We write from two places. The first is the research — NIDA, SAMHSA, and peer-reviewed work on cannabis use disorder, withdrawal, and cessation. The second is the product: we build the app people use to get through this, and what shows up in that data shapes what we think is worth writing about.
We do not publish fabricated testimonials or invented case studies, and we do not claim clinical authority we do not have. Where a claim needs a clinician, we say so and point you to one. Our full standards are on the editorial policy page — including how to get something corrected.

Who reviews this
Dr. Lu Chong
Associate Chief Physician & Associate Professor; Director, Health Examination Department · The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University
Dr. Lu reviewed the clinical standard our articles are written to: the sourcing rules, the symptom ranges we may publish, and when an article must send the reader to a clinician. Dr. Lu does not review individual articles and does not endorse the app.
Each article carries a banner saying it was written to the clinical standard Dr. Lu reviewed. What that review covers, and what it does not, is spelled out on our editorial policy page.
Our standards
Sources you can check
Claims about withdrawal, timelines, and health effects are tied to named sources — NIDA, SAMHSA, peer-reviewed journals, major medical centres. If we cannot source it, we do not assert it.
Ranges, not promises
Recovery is not a schedule. Where the research gives a range, we publish the range and say what it depends on, instead of picking the most encouraging number.
No invented people
We do not publish fabricated testimonials, made-up case studies, or stock quotes attributed to imaginary users. If a story is on this site, a real person told it to us.
Corrections in the open
Found an error? Email us and we will fix it and note the change. We would rather be corrected than be wrong quietly.

What Dehaze is not
Dehaze is a self-directed tracking and support tool. It is not therapy, not a treatment programme, and not a substitute for care from a clinician who knows your history. It does not diagnose anything. If withdrawal is severe, if cannabis is mixed with other substances, or if there is a mental health condition in the picture, please involve a professional. In the US, SAMHSA’s National Helpline is free and confidential, 24/7, at 1-800-662-4357.
