I’ve been 5 days clean due same reason, I wouldn’t want to eat without smoking or start my day, if I didn’t smoke in 24 hours I would get horrible anxiety attack, nauseas shivers and I would feel dead, the first day was hard, also the second, I tried weed due really hard times and emotional stuff coming on, the first weeks weed would help me a lot, I’m a music producer so I was able to make tons of beats, now it flipped over and I just quit weed for some day to get my tolerance low again, I’ll smoke micro doses(not everyday, maybe 2 times per week) , I’ll first do my stuff and at the end of the day just relax with a small amount of weed,this plant is amazing and has lots of benefits when u use it correctly, we all abused the weed and thought we would get away, this plant it’s just to enjoy, not made for the daily basis.
When you have anxiety attacks then why you dont smoke tobacco instead yeah its bad but it calms you down and stops anxiety for a bit. Smoking cigs is bad and the psychological withdrawals are hard but not the physical and i mean its better to be a smoker than a stoner
@@MorsMutualInsurance862 Before I was an stoner I used to smoke 1 or even 2 packs of cigarettes (20 cigs each one) in a day, now pack of cigarettes can last me 5 days..
Wow I was literally thinking the same exact thing for my 3 kids after smoking for about 10 years I think it’s time quit and give them the time I would spend on smoking!
Same thing happening to me right now. I feel so tired been lazy all day & each time i smoke all the voices in my head keep telling me “You don’t need this stuff anymore”
for everyone that's struggling with stopping smoking i have a solution you can try. i thought id never be able to stop or even stop smoking as much, but what i did was start smoking later and later in the day as time passes. so lets say if you always smoke from the moment you wake up, try waiting an hour before you smoke for a couple weeks. then push it to 2 hours for a couple weeks and keep going until it reaches night when you have your first smoke. it really helped me☺️
Underrated comment; I follow a weedtuber that recommends this for fixing tolerance. I also believe that's helpful for quitting altogether. Itwon't be so miserable since your body still gets some of what it's used to having to function; and you start to learn other ways of coping when you have to wait to smoke.
Sounds like a pretty solid idea, easier than the way I did. I completely stopped smoking and just took 1/2 an edible a hour before bedtime to help me through the rough sleep. I think I’ll do this for a week or 2 switch to CBD edible for a week and then drop it all.
I like how you said “consider taking a break” because addiction can be hard if you get in over your head and don’t take baby steps. Once they take a break, they’ll see the benefits of quitting and would want to quit completely, because that’s how I was. Really well done.
when you can’t even leave the house to go ANYWHERE (store, work, hanging with friends, parents house, etc) that’s when i knew i had to say enough was enough
I smoked every day for about 15 years. Towards the end I started to fall out of love with it. I didn't really plan on quitting. I just did. I went from every day to a few times a week to a few times a month to never again. Now it's been about a year. Didn't feel a thing. Probably best decision I ever made
I went a week without weed and I nearly had a mental breakdown the only thing I had to smoke was cigarettes when I dont have weed I'm a heavy cigarette smoker like if I had weed and cigarettes 20 cigarettes would last me like nearly 5 days if I dont have weed and I buy a fresh pack of 20 cigarettes let's say for example I bought them at 11am I'll be down to like 5-6 cigarettes left bye like 5pm.
@@jandrews6190i only feel it in the morning, then by night i don’t feel shit. as for nicotine, i start using at 6pm. I have a very good system going, i don’t have crazy urges at random times yet i use nicotine everyday
Had to quit in my 30's, smoke everyday all day in my 20's but you said it right, it just lost its joy and gave me heart palpitations and anxiety. Sucks but it happens.
It feels good seeing other people in the comments going through the same problems as myself. The youtube algorithm never gave me this, till the last moment of me giving up on everything. I know I have trauma and depression I've been needing to deal with, and every time I think about it, I get overwhelmed and resort to smoking as an instinct to make myself feel like everything's good and okay. I've stunted my self growth and the relationships with people around me, including my significant other. I'm at the the edge of almost losing my relationship because of my anger and outbursts, because when I get into arguments while high, it's easier for my to dismiss, get angry at the things around me. For everyone going through the same struggle, I hope you make it.
Hey my friend, how are you doing now? At least it seems you are aware of yourself and your actions in relation of the substance. For me it was always a love hate relationship, i have had moments where i hated it so much because it really showed how addicted i am, just as getting anxiety to smoke when i'm busy, or trying to find the last gram in my grinder to make a joint.
Hang in there. There a lot of people who sympathize with your story. If you keep taking the right steps, time can heal so much. As someone who has suffered through some of my own fucked shit. Trust me there is a world where things get better
The problem is, I can quit weed, but can't quit my addictive mindset...It will stay in me, until I die...So, at the end I am just replacing weed addiction with some other addiction...Work, money, food, relationships, selfperfection, etc., etc...But you are right - weed is telling me, when it is time to quit or do the break...Too much of anything, even healthy things, is not good...
Yep, I am the same. Got to choose the lesser evil and put the addictive brain into stuff like running, work, self-improvement. And try your best to keep it healthy/not obsessive. It is still better than the alternative.
Excellent content. After 50 years of smoking morning, noon and night. I have not smoked for 280 days. At certain times I still want to smoke. I don’t think I will ever be free from my addiction. Thank you, from Brooklyn, NY
Be proud! Well done, say to yourself when you haven’t picked it up and tempted, how good you feel without it, we all have the power, nothing can move us, Stay blessed king!
That’s how it was for me I was always happy at first it helped with my depression and my anxiety now I’m thinking about quitting because now sometimes when I smoke my anxiety gets worse and I start thinking negative and become sad
I just started getting anxious from it and at least half the time I got high it was like a mild panic attack. I knew deep down that I was wasting my life high. Thank you man 💯
Same here lot of my friends I used to smoke with think I'm over playing it but 9/10 I try getting high now I have the worst panic attacks and at times auditory hallucinations it started after a couple month tolerance break
Same here. I smoked close to daily for years. One day high in the shower I had a panic attack and have only touched it a few times to test the waters since. Still makes me incredibly anxious to this day. That was more than 3 years ago now! I've saved a lot of money, that's for sure.
You just explained all the problems I have right now, I feel sick when I wake up in the morning, I throw up, but nothing comes up and can’t eat without smoking.That’s crazy bro
Smoked weed since I was 14 & thought I’d never quit in my entire life but this man is absolutely correct. I feel like myself again. Healthier. With that being said, if you smoke weed I don’t judge and never will, just wasn’t for me anymore.
@@andresalgado3002 That’s totally normal. It’s going to suck for at least two weeks man. I started taking ashwagandha, it helped me get better sleep and reduced my stress levels
@@andresalgado3002just wait a few more days, and when you body feels tired jump on the opportunity to sleep. usually day 5 is when appetite and sleep comes back.
@@andresalgado3002I’m also on day 2 coming up on day 3. We are strong and can do anything we put our minds too. I kept waking up feeling nauseous and could barely make it to work if I knew I was out of weed or didn’t have my dab pen for work. It took me years to tell myself that the weed isn’t good for me anymore. After day 3 they say it gets better
@@andresalgado3002Drinking a lot of water, doing exercise is really important because it cleans you and makes you feel better. Getting good sleep is important as well.
I’ve been smoking weed over ten years. At first, I didn’t respect the plant or its medical benefits. I just did it to get high. Now that I’m older, I appreciate how it helps with PTSD symptoms and helps me gain appetite and sleep through the night. Plus, I’m the type to know when it’s time to relax, and when it’s time to get off my butt and put in work. I reserve my smoking time to for relaxing, so it feels like I deserved it. Balance is key 🔑 🙏
Day 2 for me today. No external reasons to quit this time (job drug test, etc.), just for myself. I certainly knew it was time to do so. Thanks for the content Doc
Yo how you been on that permanent sober October life my boi? I’d like an update fr fr I been high literally my entire life like since I could run around the neiborhood witch was like 8 for me got into smoking with the neiborhood kids around time when k2 hit I was thinking about quit everything including my alcohol I’m 19 now I thought about it like I don’t have a memory in my life where I wasn’t high or getting high an that’s sad
@@jaggarowen-nh7lk Hello my friend. I'm currently 10 months into being completely weed free. I've learned so much about myself than I ever thought possible in the process, and it was absolutely worth the struggle of quitting. For context, I started smoking everyday at like 19 years old and quit at 31. I often look back at my 20s with regret: don't get me wrong, it was amazing for the first few years, smoking with friends and family, connecting with myself creatively through music, and everything else about it. But overtime, the weed use becomes something sad, something far removed from the beautiful memories from when we started smoking. The last 5-6 years of me smoking was mostly just trying to recreate old times, or avoid discomfort in my life. I wish for a better outcome for you in this regard, as you're still quite young my friend. I will say, if you have ever had the thought of "I think maybe I should take a break/quit, I really have no idea what life would be like without it", or if you're unsure about who you would be on the other side, then you and I are very similar, and I would 100% encourage you to try a break/quitting. That "unknown" that exists on the other end of weed dependence is where the good stuff is, I promise; where you'll really get to know your most authentic self, and gain a deep and very genuine appreciation for being alive. It's a bit scary at first, even painful at first, but you'll thank yourself for facing it in your 20s, rather than having to deal with it in your 30s
@@crusademods4983 Thanks! Getting real close to that full 1 year now. Some of the most profound realizations and epiphanies I've had throughout this whole time have been happening in the past few weeks. Maybe because I know in the back of my head that 1 year was my huge goal to conquer. Hoping the best for you on your journey - the first 3 days were the hardest for me. With that, Seeing that you may be reading this on your day 4 or 5, I hope you're feeling well enough and are still going strong my friend
It's nice that I'm seeing so many people in the comments go through the same thing I am. I get a lot of anxiety when I smoke. It's just not fun anymore. Hoping to quit soon. I keep trying. But I keep coming back to it.
Quit smoking 3 weeks ago. The first week was a little tough with insomnia and diarrhea. But WOW! Do I feel amazing now. All of the things I thought weed was helping with have now officially dissipated. I no longer have back and neck pain, I sleep very well and I DREAM NOW!! I also have no anxiety and my thoughts and communication are sharper than ever. It’s worth it! Also cherry juice & Zinc help a ton with sleeping and regulating your system while you detox as a quick tip! 👍
Bruh this is fax I’ve been smoking for like 4 years and been fine no anxiety at all but randomly started getting the worst anxiety a few months ago and it just happens every time now when I smoke
I’m on week 2 and I’ve been experiencing a type of hallucination. My brain starts entering dream state before I’m fully asleep and I hear music or words when I close my eyes while trying to sleep… it was a little scary - like, am I losing my mind xD - but sweet and nice too :’)
I quit for a month. The brain bladder response came back with a revenge. I couldn't turn off my bladder. Prolly tmi but wondering if you experienced this at all
I know it’s time for me to quit. Every time I smoke I get sever anxiety and I feel like God is ashamed of me. I know I can be doing so much better without it, and God is getting fed up. Please pray for me that I may continue to keep strong. Day 3
If you read the bible you would see that Jesus helps the ones in trouble, and walked among those whom were shamed by society. I’m sure God doesn’t want you to be so harsh on yourself and want the best for you, without judgement, for he is better than ourselves in understand the moments and situations we pass in our lives. I too, wish the best for you, you will make it!
Hey Love, you got this remember! I see you 🥰 It’s already done you don’t have to waste a second longer ‘trying’. 🥳🎉 You have been washed clean, rejoice!
Man ive been smoking bud for 17 years steady im bout to be 30 ive gotten to where i only really smoke a joint a day half at about lunch time and half at night before bed while watching tv and now im about to have to quit and it just sounds like hell not to have my little joint to look forward to every morning and night it lightens my mood and keeps me from being too intense of a person Edit:im high as shit rn
Bro. Hi from Amsterdam. I fish work at 15.30 and on the way home I got my joints and I smoke like 3 a day and 5 on weekend days. Stoned now also but framing of quitting smoking all. Hard as f.
Smoking just for the sake of smoking. That's exactly what I'm going through rn. I can still enjoy the activity of smoking with the right people, but actually smoking the spliff doesn't really give me any excitement anymore. I just smoke because my brain tells me to but I don't enjoy it the same way anymore
Bright side of the addiction is that if one makes it out, they usually become very much better off in terms of attention to life. It takes a great deal of compassionate attention to break the pattern. One can slip back easily. Addiction is always around the corner.
My anxiety was the worst after i would smoke. Of all substances that I have quit, weed has been the most difficult to stick to. Maybe bc I had deemed it the most harmless, so to me it was ok if I went back to it. I’ve quit multiple times this year- but I want this to be the time I’m really done. I got rid of all I had left yesterday and today restarts the clock day one. I know I can do this. Thanks for your support.
Happened to me a few stages of life that I began developing that very same nausea, my existence becomes me dry heaving without external stimulus eating nothing but monster energy and adderall... that is when even my ego can not justify the addiction and I take a break for as long as I need to to get well. I have an addictive personality so I never stop when I get to the point of smoking just to smoke, I always take it too far and develop the dry heaving again. The thing is I always take a break for months or years. I think this is as close to a healthy relationship with the smoke as I can get at this time in my life rn
I have been smoking for over 50 years for pain ,have always taken breaks & flash liver with organic apple cedar with the mother unfiltered with unfiltered raw honey 6oz of hot water little trumic & ginger everyday will help keep your liver healthy. You will not need to fill your pipe up half of a bowl will do the trick. Blessings to all
That’s me yo 🙌 I have been sober for 5 days now and thank god I came across your channel. Your videos are very motivating and is keeping me going with my decision. I’ve been smoking weed heavily for the past 10 years basically and addict. All those who are fighting, praying you come through stronger❤
5 years no weed. Started again, only smoked on the weekends. First it was so great. Laughed all the time, good vibes. But after some months the joy was gone. So I stopped again. Best decision. Wait now for summer to come...
I'm thinking about getting back into it but moderating my use. Do you feel any side effects? My issue when i used to do this is that I would do nothing on weekdays and pretty much just wait for the weekend to come so i could get high
@@blooflazh7 Summer is over now. I only smoked on the three bike tours we did in nature and one time alone at home. Smoking on the Tours was great. Alone at home it sucked somehow and the side effects were sadness and depressive vibes. After that evening I stopped again and iam very happy with that decision.
Ya for me I started being grumpy all the time if I wasn’t smoking.. also, I realized I wasn’t getting that same euphoric experience the more and more I smoked, all I was getting was social anxiety/paranoia.. when it hits that point just stop
I just loss 4 girlfriends because of this shit, i started on my 16’s and only tried to stop only 3 times and the most far i went was 25 days i guess. Now iam 25 years old with no Girlfriend, the only “friends” i got smoke more than me, i only got a car, i still live with my mom, abd i pray every day to god help stay free, help get through this hard time. Its very hard to me but i need this. Thanks Dr you are helping and thanks to everybody that shares the same situation here.
The only time I can genuinely smile anymore is when I'm high, my life is so mundane and worthless but the weed atleast takes it all away and let's just be in the moment and not overthinking and getting all weird, hell it even helps with my social anxiety
@ericortega1745 no I'm able to stop if I really feel like it, I haven't smoked in a few weeks but i feel like just shit without weed, everyday gets more lucid and blurs with the last, I'm really just loosing touch with reality itself at the moment, I have no motivation and I just don't want to be alive, atleast I can have a laugh while I'm high
@@Ungwolop-bh3qeexactly this. I would definitely stop smoking if I was a happy person before I started and weed was what changed that. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case and when I started smoking, life was great. It legitimately felt like medicine that was making my life better. It doesn’t really do that anymore and now my life is back to where it was before. I definitely relate to everything you said
I just started running earlier this year getting ready for a half marathon, i found out the longer and harder i run before ripping my bong or some FSHO the more stoned and rewarding i feel. Exercising daily makes weed regain its charm. Im in my 30s been going smoking nearly daily since 18 had a lot of heartburn and weight gain happening weed started to feel like a chore but i swear after making the commitment to running and stretching nearly every day no longer than two days without it, its really nice. For how long who knows...
Nice you can always try only doing it once or twice a month eventually and then maybe even once every 3 months or however you want to do it just an idea
I always felt like I had a mild sore throat and hated the feeling. Never knew if I was actually getting a cold or not. That was one of the signs for me, and also not being able to eat without it 🍃
Mostly likely find the body heals when it’s not digested food, anxiety can cause thoughts of feeling stuff that isn’t there / true, just you’re body in the middle of a smoke lol, baby steps is the way All the best
I never dreamt or remembered the dreams during the course of my 8 year long daily use. Im on day 3 of cold turkey and the last two nights actually felt like i was in my dreams for 4-6 hours and it is so much wasier to wake up in the morning. Sleep was always like I was tired one moment, then 8 hours later in what seemed to be a blink of an eye. Having that seperation of conscious and subconcious sleep state makes you feel more refreshed at least in my experience. Also im quitting due to new found religious condemnation and the fact i dont want to go to hell over being unable to stop smoking a substance...
Science supports feeling more alert after the REM cycle. Dreams are fascinating now, how does the brain come up with such vivid complex scenes?! Even the dialogue, i woke up still laughing at a joke
Damn man sorry you developed a religious ideology that has to make you fear having basic human flaws, wack shit. You’re not going to hell for anything lol, just be kind to yourself
I use either the tincture under the tongue or edibles SPARINGLY....for anxiety and spiritual boost. I can go weeks, even months without it. But I did hit a point about a year ago where I was using it too much, I lost respect for it's purpose and it kindly reminded me it was break time.
I started having anxiety attacks. Last time it made me green out for an hour and I knew I was done. In my head I kept saying "this isn't for me anymore" over and over.

Exactly!! I'm 70 years old. I smoked 41 years total with a 10 year break & 3 year break. I quit 4 days ago. Oh my goodness!! If it were not for your channel I wouldn't make it! Thank you.

Absolutely! I never want to go back!! ❤
Yup I can tell you were a true stoner like me and it’s time for change again I quit weed 5 times already for about 3 months on average but everytime I come back to it I get more crazier and smoke more it’s just time to stop now call it quits for good I’m 23 and need change for good for my family and GOD 🙏🏽
I had both of them … Day 34 and I feel amazing. Can’t jump to conclusions because I had few months clean in the past but came back to the habit. Stay strong everyone!
Shedding some light on CHS you’re the goat, I had a bout of nonstop vomiting even after it was nothing but bile. Went to the hospital to get fluids and anti nausea medication and the doctor told me about it. I stopped smoking for 2 months maybe then started back up again and was good. Others aren’t as lucky and experience symptoms days to weeks after consuming.
I have CHS (Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome). I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It is absolutely debilitating. I almost died last February from kidney failure. I was throwing up so much for so long that my body was shutting down. That’s when I knew I couldn’t smoke anymore.
Was smoking from a dab pen almost everyday for about 10 months, It usually would give me tons of motivation for the first hour or so, so I would do it before workouts or before doing something productive, but when it would wear off I would feel like complete trash and have horrible negative thoughts, and just melt into my bed, I knew I had to quit. Not going to miss THC. Sticking with my coffee
@@yisraelGsome people get some withdrawals some none depends how much u smoke but for me the longest I smoked without a t break was abt 2-3 months constant smoking everyday too where a 2 gram j didn’t feel like much and only withdrawal I got was no appetite first one or 2 days but no sleep for 3 days maybe a small nap but that’s all for me I did notice when I wasnt sober and I did smoke I would wake up a little anxious and feel sick and never knew why till this video
Not gonna lie… sounds like it’s not the weed it’s sounds like you have mild depression (have it myself) and were using weed to suppress it. Hence why you felt like shit when It wore off ( yes depression physically exhaust’s you, not just mentally)
Yeah I’ve been going through this for two years and finally decided to quit recently the withdrawals suck but I know the clarity of a sober mind will come back in time
I feel like that's a healthy approach. If you feel you are drawing more positives than negatives, do your thing but don't get too attached to a habit just for habit's sake. I feel like a lot of us carry around a lot of extra baggage that we don't even know is weighing us down. Good content man.
im on day 3 and i keep thinking abt going back and that maybe weed isnt that bad and its all in my head. but also everynight that i think about doing it i always convince myself not to last minute😭
Right? I need to convince myself because now I feel so alien and even more anti social lol it sucks. Thinking about going to work is lying feeling like I’m going to jail it it sucks that bad sense I’ve been out of work for 4 days
@@mariahconklin4150 i believe in you, you got it. ive been sober for about 2 or 3 weeks and it actually feels nice after you get over the “but do i really need to quit” affect!❤️❤️
I know that this is unrelated in a way. So I’m in the process of quitting vaping, which is not too bad. I’m at the point where I hit it once a day with a huge hit and a big buzz at the most often.
Facts i just lost the joy, the first two months of smokingnand drinking were nice because i had just payed a downpayment and i was happy for my new place, but now i see my money going away and i want to have more money, i feel like i barely spend but i do spend on weed so thats why i wanna stop
Day 83 for me 👌🏿. I still SOMETIMES want to smoke but I never do. It’s usually when I see videos of people enjoying a really good high lol. Try to stay away from those videos.
thats from a chemical in the weed if your throwing up that from bad low quality weed this guy spreading bad info. theres so many companies selling bud with fertilizer still left in it. if you have good quality stuff its very close to food so this is just a quality issue. in florida several comapnies are selling contaminated bud.
everyone talking about how you gotta have control over it but nobody knows what its like to literally feel like somethings wrong unless ur high. my body is fucked and i regret it so much i cant live without it i think id die
This is true in the beginning I would have the munchies bad and then after a while I began to notice to loose appetite and started to lose weight bad, it got to the point where I was smoking to get rid of my stomach being hungry crazy but true after a while I was just smoking excessively and knew I was on the wrong path
@@blackchinese8050 just take smoke breaks 1-2weeks and get that munchie feeling back if your trying to gain weight but also don’t continue to smoke a lot we’re the munchie affect doesn’t work on your body no more, also your food intake can change to eating fewer meals from smoking lots of bud and affect you by not being hungry through out the day, as of right now I’m still struggling after being off bud for a month, i eat 2 high calorie meals and im good for the day which I know isn’t good knowing I use to eat way more and still wanted to munch out on other stuff back then, but know I can’t because I easily get bloated, most likely just gotta get use to eating more often
It's all good man, I know you can do it. It's not going to happen overnight for us, but I believe cutting back and making changes day by day is a step in the right direction. I used to smoke everyday first thing when I woke up... But slowly went from that to just smoking twice a day(instead of 10+ times a day), mid day and at night before bed and both times only taking 2 hits and put it out. I believe we can do it gradually and in a month we can see big changes.
I just stopped enjoying it as much and I was going for a job at the shipyard and I failed the drug test. I felt so bad about that one because it was a really good offer but I screwed up.
Man this dude is right on point. I know it's time because it feels like a chore to me now. I hate the rolling i hate driving to go get it. I even get tired of actually puffing it.
I’m over 6months out from my last smoke, and over 12 months clean from multiple substances. Now just to cut the nicotine which I’m moving towards quickly lately.
Weed is one of the most insidious drugs ever! I stopped edibles because I am losing too much weight and I feel horrible. This is day 4 and it sucks. It will get better with time. This much I know.
@@michaellangston8706 two week tolerance break. I am better now and just do edibles Friday and Saturday night! I have self discipline in spades so I am good and NO I won’t quit.
Weed is not inherently sinister or bad. It all depends on the intention of usage and frequency. Just because you were addicted and abused the ever living shit out of it doesn't mean everyone else does as well. There are many people that do it only a few times a month and are happier than without it
I stopped smoking all of January but I broke in February and I was getting high asf every day since. I’m about a week sober now and I cannot express how grateful I am for you. I genuinely think I’m ready to stop permanently
Facts smoking out of habit is what made me stop, I couldn’t smoke for a couple days because of teeth work and I decided to keep it up. It made me realize I wasn’t smoking for enjoyment anymore it was just part of the routine. 10 days sober now and feeling better than ever. Remember it’s an occasional thing not an everyday thing
Literally same here I started at age 14 and I just quit at age 24 I feel better than ever now. I was getting bad anxiety and overthinking shit when I was high
@@blackscoped I’ve started to get Really bad anxiety as everything overwhelms me. Can’t stop thinking about everything I’ve done, doing, and need to do. Everything that stresses me out jumps out at once even louder when I’m high. It used to be the other way around, the only way I could silence my head and focus was when I was stoned but now it’s the complete opposite. It’s been addiction for awhile now. I’ve just been in denial
@@Junk_Draw3r24 and on day 2 of no kush. I stopped cause I kept waking up nauseous and if I didn’t smoke id just start throwing up and even when I did smoke I still felt super nauseous and throwing up. We are strong and we can do anything we put our minds too
You so right I’ve been wanting to for a while now. I’m speaking for weed and tobacco mixed together. Weed alone is easy for me to quit. But the headrush I get from mixing weed and tobacco together is like nothing else. Just been trying to figure out what I can substitute my time with that is equally as stimulating
Yk ive always kind of avoided your videos because I only smoke to sleep as I have insomnia but you do bring up some good points. For example I cannot sleep without it and that is clearly a negative effect (even though I rarely slept for more than 4-5 hrs prior to smoking to begin with lmaoo). I'm glad you make this kind of content for people that do struggle with addiction even though I probably won't be quitting any time soon. Thank you for doing what you do!
So true,Weed tells you when to quit,Like i was smoking from last 7 years,really enjoyed it,last 2 years i was having too much,Now when i smoke,i felt guilt for no reason and also I wasn’t getting high enough like before,every time im smoking pot,the only thing come to my mind is to quit it,and i did from last 4 days,didn’t felt so bad till now,lets hope for the best..
Ive been smoking daily for over 15 years , i take T breaks once or twice a year . Ill never quit , its helped me more than i can believe with pain and a number of mental health issues . Weed is a fantastic tool for medicine if used properly and respectfully .
So true! I had never fully stop smoking but i do take breaks when i start feeling that smoking is more like something “ i had to do just do it” no bc i want to smoke. Usually happens after a few weeks of smoking every day and taking a week of two out of it works everytime for me. I don’t smoke on days i have a lot of things to do either, it’s more like a gift to myself every couple of days
This is so true. My body just tells me when to quit. For me, it's not a big event. I just wouldn't feel like smoking. But, it's super random. Some people get it bad though.
You’re so right. Mine is the second one, losing its joy, not getting that good taste and joy I use to feel with it. I’m 50 years old, now i only use it once a day before bed time and when i use i only pack one bowl in the bong and that’s it for the day. At least i don’t feel desperate to quit for good but i am okay with that single use per day.
I've smoked daily for around 38 years and I love it more and more everyday. Especially with this stuff they have today. We didn't have that back in the 80s. It was descent smoke, but nothing like today. The really good was around, but you'd pay big time gor it and it was very hard to find. I've quit here and there over the years just to get a job or something like that, but once that test was over it was back to it. I do know that it makes you forget your dreams, but during that off time I have the most horrific nightmares. The nightmares are ALWAYS apocalyptic like the world is ending.
Ive been smoking weed for 46 years now, i smoke usually in the evening around 5,7,10pm. I don’t ever feel sick, or can’t eat, never. I’m a bad eater I eat middle of the afternoon a small amount and then again 10-midnight. Same routine everyday.
Good short right here. I’m definitely ready to quit: I’ve gotten to the point where it’s just a chore and something to do just for the sake of doing it. All in all, it lost its magic, and I only do it to escape reality; time to quit!
I’ve been 5 days clean due same reason, I wouldn’t want to eat without smoking or start my day, if I didn’t smoke in 24 hours I would get horrible anxiety attack, nauseas shivers and I would feel dead, the first day was hard, also the second, I tried weed due really hard times and emotional stuff coming on, the first weeks weed would help me a lot, I’m a music producer so I was able to make tons of beats, now it flipped over and I just quit weed for some day to get my tolerance low again, I’ll smoke micro doses(not everyday, maybe 2 times per week) , I’ll first do my stuff and at the end of the day just relax with a small amount of weed,this plant is amazing and has lots of benefits when u use it correctly, we all abused the weed and thought we would get away, this plant it’s just to enjoy, not made for the daily basis.
When you have anxiety attacks then why you dont smoke tobacco instead yeah its bad but it calms you down and stops anxiety for a bit. Smoking cigs is bad and the psychological withdrawals are hard but not the physical and i mean its better to be a smoker than a stoner
@@MorsMutualInsurance862 Before I was an stoner I used to smoke 1 or even 2 packs of cigarettes (20 cigs each one) in a day, now pack of cigarettes can last me 5 days..

I got tired of being lazy and wanted to give my kids a more exciting childhood. It's worth it.
Wow I was literally thinking the same exact thing for my 3 kids after smoking for about 10 years I think it’s time quit and give them the time I would spend on smoking!
Realist comment I’ve seen about weed!
Good mom ❤
Same thing happening to me right now. I feel so tired been lazy all day & each time i smoke all the voices in my head keep telling me “You don’t need this stuff anymore”
Once in a while is fine but yeah not evey day
for everyone that's struggling with stopping smoking i have a solution you can try. i thought id never be able to stop or even stop smoking as much, but what i did was start smoking later and later in the day as time passes. so lets say if you always smoke from the moment you wake up, try waiting an hour before you smoke for a couple weeks. then push it to 2 hours for a couple weeks and keep going until it reaches night when you have your first smoke. it really helped me☺️
Best comment and piece of advice I have seen in this thread
Underrated comment; I follow a weedtuber that recommends this for fixing tolerance. I also believe that's helpful for quitting altogether. Itwon't be so miserable since your body still gets some of what it's used to having to function; and you start to learn other ways of coping when you have to wait to smoke.
Sounds like a pretty solid idea, easier than the way I did. I completely stopped smoking and just took 1/2 an edible a hour before bedtime to help me through the rough sleep. I think I’ll do this for a week or 2 switch to CBD edible for a week and then drop it all.
This is what a therapist would recommend to an addict
That’s a great time to have it anyway as it will help you sleep deeply.

I like how you said “consider taking a break” because addiction can be hard if you get in over your head and don’t take baby steps. Once they take a break, they’ll see the benefits of quitting and would want to quit completely, because that’s how I was. Really well done.
Yup… when you can’t eat without smoking you know you’re in too deep

Happens every morning lool what's breakfast ? 😂😂 and I cant sleep without it
when you can’t even leave the house to go ANYWHERE (store, work, hanging with friends, parents house, etc) that’s when i knew i had to say enough was enough
All in moderation, I am a smoker but do believe sometimes its best to quit or at least take a long break
I smoked every day for about 15 years. Towards the end I started to fall out of love with it. I didn't really plan on quitting. I just did. I went from every day to a few times a week to a few times a month to never again. Now it's been about a year. Didn't feel a thing. Probably best decision I ever made

I went a week without weed and I nearly had a mental breakdown the only thing I had to smoke was cigarettes when I dont have weed I'm a heavy cigarette smoker like if I had weed and cigarettes 20 cigarettes would last me like nearly 5 days if I dont have weed and I buy a fresh pack of 20 cigarettes let's say for example I bought them at 11am I'll be down to like 5-6 cigarettes left bye like 5pm.

It feels good seeing other people in the comments going through the same problems as myself. The youtube algorithm never gave me this, till the last moment of me giving up on everything.
I know I have trauma and depression I've been needing to deal with, and every time I think about it, I get overwhelmed and resort to smoking as an instinct to make myself feel like everything's good and okay.
I've stunted my self growth and the relationships with people around me, including my significant other. I'm at the the edge of almost losing my relationship because of my anger and outbursts, because when I get into arguments while high, it's easier for my to dismiss, get angry at the things around me.
For everyone going through the same struggle, I hope you make it.
Hey my friend, how are you doing now? At least it seems you are aware of yourself and your actions in relation of the substance. For me it was always a love hate relationship, i have had moments where i hated it so much because it really showed how addicted i am, just as getting anxiety to smoke when i'm busy, or trying to find the last gram in my grinder to make a joint.
Hang in there. There a lot of people who sympathize with your story. If you keep taking the right steps, time can heal so much. As someone who has suffered through some of my own fucked shit. Trust me there is a world where things get better
This is so well said!
Ditto to every word of what you said here.
I feel it bros, stay up
you’re listening to a kid from the suburbs talking to you about weed look how he’s dressed he’s in no position to tell you shashht
The problem is, I can quit weed, but can't quit my addictive mindset...It will stay in me, until I die...So, at the end I am just replacing weed addiction with some other addiction...Work, money, food, relationships, selfperfection, etc., etc...But you are right - weed is telling me, when it is time to quit or do the break...Too much of anything, even healthy things, is not good...
Yep, I am the same. Got to choose the lesser evil and put the addictive brain into stuff like running, work, self-improvement. And try your best to keep it healthy/not obsessive. It is still better than the alternative.
This is a big problem
All addictions are directly related to some childhood trauma. From birth till around 7 years of age being the most crucial years.
I quit for 2yrs and the best replacement is working out now I smoke but very moderate usually at night before bed
There are healthier addictions tho then weed so…
Excellent content. After 50 years of smoking morning, noon and night. I have not smoked for 280 days. At certain times I still want to smoke. I don’t think I will ever be free from my addiction. Thank you, from Brooklyn, NY

That’s how it was for me I was always happy at first it helped with my depression and my anxiety now I’m thinking about quitting because now sometimes when I smoke my anxiety gets worse and I start thinking negative and become sad
I just started getting anxious from it and at least half the time I got high it was like a mild panic attack. I knew deep down that I was wasting my life high. Thank you man 💯
exactly what happend to me this year so i quit after 10 year of smoking the shit
Same here lot of my friends I used to smoke with think I'm over playing it but 9/10 I try getting high now I have the worst panic attacks and at times auditory hallucinations it started after a couple month tolerance break
its just amplifying what your feeling sober, get your mind right people and stop blaming weed.
@@barrysandershof
Same here. I smoked close to daily for years. One day high in the shower I had a panic attack and have only touched it a few times to test the waters since. Still makes me incredibly anxious to this day. That was more than 3 years ago now! I've saved a lot of money, that's for sure.
Yea, I cooled out.....I think its just the strains. I started growing my own and different have that problem anymore
You just explained all the problems I have right now, I feel sick when I wake up in the morning, I throw up, but nothing comes up and can’t eat without smoking.That’s crazy bro
Same. Day 1 of quitting weed and cigarettes
Dry heaves are the worst 😢😢
Whenever i wasn't high, i got sick. It stopped being fun and was just maintenence to avoid withdrawal. So glad I'm done with it.
11 days after in and withdrawals are kicking my a$$! Can’t keep food down, I’m down 14lbs 🥵
Smoked weed since I was 14 & thought I’d never quit in my entire life but this man is absolutely correct. I feel like myself again. Healthier. With that being said, if you smoke weed I don’t judge and never will, just wasn’t for me anymore.

@@andresalgado3002Drinking a lot of water, doing exercise is really important because it cleans you and makes you feel better. Getting good sleep is important as well.
I’ve been smoking weed over ten years. At first, I didn’t respect the plant or its medical benefits. I just did it to get high.
Now that I’m older, I appreciate how it helps with PTSD symptoms and helps me gain appetite and sleep through the night.
Plus, I’m the type to know when it’s time to relax, and when it’s time to get off my butt and put in work. I reserve my smoking time to for relaxing, so it feels like I deserved it.
Balance is key 🔑 🙏
This ⬆️ too much of anything, even if it’s good is a bad thing.
Agreeeeeee! Same thing over here. For my relaxing time yess

I need to smoke in order to get active and moving. It’s amazing how 1 medicine can cure so many different problems
“I need it for my medical issues” is the biggest lie in the world

@@jaggarowen-nh7lk Hello my friend. I'm currently 10 months into being completely weed free. I've learned so much about myself than I ever thought possible in the process, and it was absolutely worth the struggle of quitting.
For context, I started smoking everyday at like 19 years old and quit at 31. I often look back at my 20s with regret: don't get me wrong, it was amazing for the first few years, smoking with friends and family, connecting with myself creatively through music, and everything else about it. But overtime, the weed use becomes something sad, something far removed from the beautiful memories from when we started smoking. The last 5-6 years of me smoking was mostly just trying to recreate old times, or avoid discomfort in my life. I wish for a better outcome for you in this regard, as you're still quite young my friend.
I will say, if you have ever had the thought of "I think maybe I should take a break/quit, I really have no idea what life would be like without it", or if you're unsure about who you would be on the other side, then you and I are very similar, and I would 100% encourage you to try a break/quitting. That "unknown" that exists on the other end of weed dependence is where the good stuff is, I promise; where you'll really get to know your most authentic self, and gain a deep and very genuine appreciation for being alive. It's a bit scary at first, even painful at first, but you'll thank yourself for facing it in your 20s, rather than having to deal with it in your 30s
Same here, second day

It's nice that I'm seeing so many people in the comments go through the same thing I am. I get a lot of anxiety when I smoke. It's just not fun anymore. Hoping to quit soon. I keep trying. But I keep coming back to it.
Quit smoking 3 weeks ago. The first week was a little tough with insomnia and diarrhea. But WOW! Do I feel amazing now. All of the things I thought weed was helping with have now officially dissipated. I no longer have back and neck pain, I sleep very well and I DREAM NOW!! I also have no anxiety and my thoughts and communication are sharper than ever.
It’s worth it! Also cherry juice & Zinc help a ton with sleeping and regulating your system while you detox as a quick tip! 👍

Bright side of the addiction is that if one makes it out, they usually become very much better off in terms of attention to life. It takes a great deal of compassionate attention to break the pattern. One can slip back easily. Addiction is always around the corner.
My anxiety was the worst after i would smoke. Of all substances that I have quit, weed has been the most difficult to stick to. Maybe bc I had deemed it the most harmless, so to me it was ok if I went back to it. I’ve quit multiple times this year- but I want this to be the time I’m really done. I got rid of all I had left yesterday and today restarts the clock day one. I know I can do this. Thanks for your support.

@@Ungwolop-bh3qeexactly this. I would definitely stop smoking if I was a happy person before I started and weed was what changed that.

I just started running earlier this year getting ready for a half marathon, i found out the longer and harder i run before ripping my bong or some FSHO the more stoned and rewarding i feel. Exercising daily makes weed regain its charm.
Im in my 30s been going smoking nearly daily since 18 had a lot of heartburn and weight gain happening weed started to feel like a chore but i swear after making the commitment to running and stretching nearly every day no longer than two days without it, its really nice. For how long who knows...
Nice you can always try only doing it once or twice a month eventually and then maybe even once every 3 months or however you want to do it just an idea
I always felt like I had a mild sore throat and hated the feeling. Never knew if I was actually getting a cold or not. That was one of the signs for me, and also not being able to eat without it 🍃
That sore throat happens to me all the time and i always think I have a disease and get worried
Mostly likely find the body heals when it’s not digested food, anxiety can cause thoughts of feeling stuff that isn’t there / true, just you’re body in the middle of a smoke lol, baby steps is the way
All the best
I never dreamt or remembered the dreams during the course of my 8 year long daily use. Im on day 3 of cold turkey and the last two nights actually felt like i was in my dreams for 4-6 hours and it is so much wasier to wake up in the morning. Sleep was always like I was tired one moment, then 8 hours later in what seemed to be a blink of an eye. Having that seperation of conscious and subconcious sleep state makes you feel more refreshed at least in my experience. Also im quitting due to new found religious condemnation and the fact i dont want to go to hell over being unable to stop smoking a substance...
Science supports feeling more alert after the REM cycle. Dreams are fascinating now, how does the brain come up with such vivid complex scenes?! Even the dialogue, i woke up still laughing at a joke
Damn man sorry you developed a religious ideology that has to make you fear having basic human flaws, wack shit. You’re not going to hell for anything lol, just be kind to yourself
I use either the tincture under the tongue or edibles SPARINGLY....for anxiety and spiritual boost. I can go weeks, even months without it. But I did hit a point about a year ago where I was using it too much, I lost respect for it's purpose and it kindly reminded me it was break time.
I started having anxiety attacks. Last time it made me green out for an hour and I knew I was done. In my head I kept saying "this isn't for me anymore" over and over.
The pro-weed crowd will never admit anything negative can come from it.
You are wrong .. i am pro weed and obviously if u make abuse of it it will for sure affect ur life in many negative ways
@@NaaNoox1most people don't think that but i agree
@@moniqtl i used to be like that … but i think that is another excuse to justify adiction , sometimes we dont have all the information , like this video explaining from the perspective of psychologist
@NaaNoox1 You are correct, but you are in the minority when it comes to most potheads who usually talk about it like it's a wonder drug and say it's just a plant and you can't get addicted to it...
@@NaaNoox1well come on man obviously he did not mean all of us like me i have been smoking for 15 years growing for 10 and i will admit weed is a drug and it can do stuff to you just not as bad as alcohol or pills or even nicotine what he’s talking about is all the little ass cart smoking wanna be gangster thag run away going i’m “faded then a hoe” that’s the weed crowd now it’s honestly sad to see what we fought for get ruined by these kids tho…
For me it was severe panic attacks, chest pain and paranoid delusions.
Exactly!! I'm 70 years old. I smoked 41 years total with a 10 year break & 3 year break. I quit 4 days ago. Oh my goodness!! If it were not for your channel I wouldn't make it! Thank you. I quit cigarettes 9.5 years ago & alcohol 37 years ago so I'm not a newbie to quitting but this time, with the new higher strengths (vapes, crystals & etc) it's a major deal to quit!! But I am!! Absolutely! I never want to go back!! ❤
Yup I can tell you were a true stoner like me and it’s time for change again I quit weed 5 times already for about 3 months on average but everytime I come back to it I get more crazier and smoke more it’s just time to stop now call it quits for good I’m 23 and need change for good for my family and GOD 🙏🏽
After 9 years it still just mellows me out I smoke everyday but still definitely try to limit how much I smoke so I still feel it every time I do
Weed abuse is real 😢
Yeah for some folks not everyone abuses it
For me it was the chest pain, heart palpitations, & stomach ulcers that finally got me to wake up after many failed attempts.
I had both of them … Day 34 and I feel amazing. Can’t jump to conclusions because I had few months clean in the past but came back to the habit.
Stay strong everyone!
Are you still clean yo?
@@Spin1968 I am !
love this guys delivery.
Shedding some light on CHS you’re the goat, I had a bout of nonstop vomiting even after it was nothing but bile. Went to the hospital to get fluids and anti nausea medication and the doctor told me about it. I stopped smoking for 2 months maybe then started back up again and was good. Others aren’t as lucky and experience symptoms days to weeks after consuming.
Day 2 of quitting. Thank you for the amazing content. Keep em going.
I have CHS (Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome). I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It is absolutely debilitating. I almost died last February from kidney failure. I was throwing up so much for so long that my body was shutting down. That’s when I knew I couldn’t smoke anymore.
Was smoking from a dab pen almost everyday for about 10 months, It usually would give me tons of motivation for the first hour or so, so I would do it before workouts or before doing something productive, but when it would wear off I would feel like complete trash and have horrible negative thoughts, and just melt into my bed, I knew I had to quit. Not going to miss THC. Sticking with my coffee
How long did the withdrawals take to wear off? Ive also been on dab pens for like 6 months or so
@@yisraelGsome people get some withdrawals some none depends how much u smoke but for me the longest I smoked without a t break was abt 2-3 months constant smoking everyday too where a 2 gram j didn’t feel like much and only withdrawal I got was no appetite first one or 2 days but no sleep for 3 days maybe a small nap but that’s all for me I did notice when I wasnt sober and I did smoke I would wake up a little anxious and feel sick and never knew why till this video
*Weed I can do all day/night without feeling like crap, caffeine will have you crash harder the more you consume.*
Not gonna lie… sounds like it’s not the weed it’s sounds like you have mild depression (have it myself) and were using weed to suppress it. Hence why you felt like shit when It wore off ( yes depression physically exhaust’s you, not just mentally)
Yeah I’ve been going through this for two years and finally decided to quit recently the withdrawals suck but I know the clarity of a sober mind will come back in time
I feel like that's a healthy approach. If you feel you are drawing more positives than negatives, do your thing but don't get too attached to a habit just for habit's sake. I feel like a lot of us carry around a lot of extra baggage that we don't even know is weighing us down. Good content man.
im on day 3 and i keep thinking abt going back and that maybe weed isnt that bad and its all in my head. but also everynight that i think about doing it i always convince myself not to last minute😭
Right? I need to convince myself because now I feel so alien and even more anti social lol it sucks. Thinking about going to work is lying feeling like I’m going to jail it it sucks that bad sense I’ve been out of work for 4 days
@@mariahconklin4150 i believe in you, you got it. ive been sober for about 2 or 3 weeks and it actually feels nice after you get over the “but do i really need to quit” affect!❤️❤️
Day 18! Had some serious cravings today but held strong and feeling more confident in this journey!
I know that this is unrelated in a way. So I’m in the process of quitting vaping, which is not too bad. I’m at the point where I hit it once a day with a huge hit and a big buzz at the most often.
Great job man! I can't wait to be there myself and be able to say that. One day at a time.
Facts i just lost the joy, the first two months of smokingnand drinking were nice because i had just payed a downpayment and i was happy for my new place, but now i see my money going away and i want to have more money, i feel like i barely spend but i do spend on weed so thats why i wanna stop
Maybe stop drinking.
Man. This is the truth 💯
Regular T- Breaks help, like the last week of the month for me I don't smoke. Helps you contextualize it and find what works best.
OMG he’s digging out bone marrow!!! All this time was wondering what’s the pink bottle and jam….
It’s delicious

Yes, it makes a great peanut butter and bone marrow sandwich. And for desert, blood pudding!

Day 83 for me 👌🏿. I still SOMETIMES want to smoke but I never do. It’s usually when I see videos of people enjoying a really good high lol. Try to stay away from those videos.
How’s it been for you now? Has it been beneficial?
thats from a chemical in the weed if your throwing up that from bad low quality weed this guy spreading bad info. theres so many companies selling bud with fertilizer still left in it. if you have good quality stuff its very close to food so this is just a quality issue. in florida several comapnies are selling contaminated bud.
Your right. Needed to hear this. 👍
everyone talking about how you gotta have control over it but nobody knows what its like to literally feel like somethings wrong unless ur high. my body is fucked and i regret it so much i cant live without it i think id die
This is true in the beginning I would have the munchies bad and then after a while I began to notice to loose appetite and started to lose weight bad, it got to the point where I was smoking to get rid of my stomach being hungry crazy but true after a while I was just smoking excessively and knew I was on the wrong path
Thank god cause I lost A LOT of weight in the last year randomly and I I’ve been thinking something was wrong cause I smoke alot
@@blackchinese8050 just take smoke breaks 1-2weeks and get that munchie feeling back if your trying to gain weight but also don’t continue to smoke a lot we’re the munchie affect doesn’t work on your body no more, also your food intake can change to eating fewer meals from smoking lots of bud and affect you by not being hungry through out the day, as of right now I’m still struggling after being off bud for a month, i eat 2 high calorie meals and im good for the day which I know isn’t good knowing I use to eat way more and still wanted to munch out on other stuff back then, but know I can’t because I easily get bloated, most likely just gotta get use to eating more often
day 1 w/o marijuana (will check in daily since i got nothing better else to do)
I'm in the same boat man. We can do it. I'm rooting for ya.
@@JX33-3 i relapsed
It's all good man, I know you can do it. It's not going to happen overnight for us, but I believe cutting back and making changes day by day is a step in the right direction. I used to smoke everyday first thing when I woke up... But slowly went from that to just smoking twice a day(instead of 10+ times a day), mid day and at night before bed and both times only taking 2 hits and put it out.
I believe we can do it gradually and in a month we can see big changes.
@@TheHennyBottle lmao relapse from weed 💀💀
@@joeythekodeyy2569 shut yo 12 year old ass up nigga
I just stopped enjoying it as much and I was going for a job at the shipyard and I failed the drug test. I felt so bad about that one because it was a really good offer but I screwed up.
I love the honesty thank you
Man this dude is right on point. I know it's time because it feels like a chore to me now. I hate the rolling i hate driving to go get it. I even get tired of actually puffing it.
I’m over 6months out from my last smoke, and over 12 months clean from multiple substances. Now just to cut the nicotine which I’m moving towards quickly lately.
Weed is one of the most insidious drugs ever! I stopped edibles because I am losing too much weight and I feel horrible. This is day 4 and it sucks. It will get better with time. This much I know.
Update,👀
@@michaellangston8706 two week tolerance break. I am better now and just do edibles Friday and Saturday night! I have self discipline in spades so I am good and NO I won’t quit.
mmm idk abt this "Weed is one of the most insidious drugs ever!" buy if u get chs yeah that shit sucks
Weed is a herb, not a drug.
Sugar is a drug, we're all addicted to it. It's more harmful than weed too. Drinking is a drug too, alot more harmful.
Weed is not inherently sinister or bad. It all depends on the intention of usage and frequency. Just because you were addicted and abused the ever living shit out of it doesn't mean everyone else does as well. There are many people that do it only a few times a month and are happier than without it
You don’t have to quit all together, PLEASE just moderate your usage and take tolerance breaks
BEFORE you get to this stage
Discipline folks! :)
Yeah I need to gonna give it up today you have all convinced me. Gotta take a break or quit for good
@@mariahconklin4150 that’s great for you man
I stopped smoking all of January but I broke in February and I was getting high asf every day since. I’m about a week sober now and I cannot express how grateful I am for you. I genuinely think I’m ready to stop permanently
Facts smoking out of habit is what made me stop, I couldn’t smoke for a couple days because of teeth work and I decided to keep it up. It made me realize I wasn’t smoking for enjoyment anymore it was just part of the routine. 10 days sober now and feeling better than ever. Remember it’s an occasional thing not an everyday thing
Roasted bone marrow fire af!! 🔥
You nailed it!
I turn 24 this august and I’ve been smoking since 14… daily since 18… I think it’s time to turn a new leaf :)
Literally same here I started at age 14 and I just quit at age 24 I feel better than ever now. I was getting bad anxiety and overthinking shit when I was high
same boat here literally even down to age
@@DanSepulveda we’ve got this! We’re still so young! We’ve got 6 years before we even hit 30
@@blackscoped I’ve started to get Really bad anxiety as everything overwhelms me. Can’t stop thinking about everything I’ve done, doing, and need to do. Everything that stresses me out jumps out at once even louder when I’m high. It used to be the other way around, the only way I could silence my head and focus was when I was stoned but now it’s the complete opposite. It’s been addiction for awhile now. I’ve just been in denial
@@Junk_Draw3r24 and on day 2 of no kush. I stopped cause I kept waking up nauseous and if I didn’t smoke id just start throwing up and even when I did smoke I still felt super nauseous and throwing up. We are strong and we can do anything we put our minds too
Shiii my black ass ain’t never felt with none of that
Lol they weak for reals I got iron lungs for weed
You so right I’ve been wanting to for a while now. I’m speaking for weed and tobacco mixed together. Weed alone is easy for me to quit. But the headrush I get from mixing weed and tobacco together is like nothing else. Just been trying to figure out what I can substitute my time with that is equally as stimulating
Yk ive always kind of avoided your videos because I only smoke to sleep as I have insomnia but you do bring up some good points. For example I cannot sleep without it and that is clearly a negative effect (even though I rarely slept for more than 4-5 hrs prior to smoking to begin with lmaoo). I'm glad you make this kind of content for people that do struggle with addiction even though I probably won't be quitting any time soon. Thank you for doing what you do!
New liverking 😂
Just take a tolerance break every once in awhile like an adult and stop overthinking it. People worried too much about looking like a "pot-head"
So true,Weed tells you when to quit,Like i was smoking from last 7 years,really enjoyed it,last 2 years i was having too much,Now when i smoke,i felt guilt for no reason and also I wasn’t getting high enough like before,every time im smoking pot,the only thing come to my mind is to quit it,and i did from last 4 days,didn’t felt so bad till now,lets hope for the best..
Ive been smoking daily for over 15 years , i take T breaks once or twice a year . Ill never quit , its helped me more than i can believe with pain and a number of mental health issues .
Weed is a fantastic tool for medicine if used properly and respectfully .
So true! I had never fully stop smoking but i do take breaks when i start feeling that smoking is more like something “ i had to do just do it” no bc i want to smoke. Usually happens after a few weeks of smoking every day and taking a week of two out of it works everytime for me. I don’t smoke on days i have a lot of things to do either, it’s more like a gift to myself every couple of days
This is so true. My body just tells me when to quit. For me, it's not a big event. I just wouldn't feel like smoking. But, it's super random. Some people get it bad though.
You’re so right. Mine is the second one, losing its joy, not getting that good taste and joy I use to feel with it. I’m 50 years old, now i only use it once a day before bed time and when i use i only pack one bowl in the bong and that’s it for the day. At least i don’t feel desperate to quit for good but i am okay with that single use per day.
I’ve been smoking for the last 8 years of my life I can’t live without it!!! But I do get all that going throw my head mostly every day
I've smoked daily for around 38 years and I love it more and more everyday. Especially with this stuff they have today. We didn't have that back in the 80s. It was descent smoke, but nothing like today. The really good was around, but you'd pay big time gor it and it was very hard to find.
I've quit here and there over the years just to get a job or something like that, but once that test was over it was back to it. I do know that it makes you forget your dreams, but during that off time I have the most horrific nightmares. The nightmares are ALWAYS apocalyptic like the world is ending.
Dang I love those nightmares. But in mine I usually have some super power or just go fighting with the damn army with a sword! 😅😂
When im sober i want to be high, but when im high i want to be sober.
Ive been smoking weed for 46 years now, i smoke usually in the evening around 5,7,10pm. I don’t ever feel sick, or can’t eat, never. I’m a bad eater I eat middle of the afternoon a small amount and then again 10-midnight. Same routine everyday.
Good short right here. I’m definitely ready to quit: I’ve gotten to the point where it’s just a chore and something to do just for the sake of doing it. All in all, it lost its magic, and I only do it to escape reality; time to quit!
