Weedless Wednesday is observed as part of National Non-Smoking Week, encouraging smokers to abstain from cannabis for 24 hours to raise awareness about the health risks associated with marijuana use. Founded in 1977 by the Canadian Council for Tobacco Control, this day aims to highlight the immediate health benefits of quitting, such as reduced carbon monoxide levels and increased oxygen intake. Participants are encouraged to engage in various activities to distract from cravings, including outdoor adventures, cooking, DIY projects, and self-care treatments. The event fosters a sense of community and support among those trying to quit, promoting healthier choices and cleaner environments. Celebrating Weedless Wednesday also contributes to educating individuals about the dangers of smoking and the potential for long-term health improvements.
