People are likely watching the Marvel Shang-Chi trailer, or the Jake Paul fight, or Drag Race like us WITH THE MUNCHIES THESE DAYS! I have been thinking about the neurophysiology of quitting weed since being stuck at home, it's more of a habit. It turns out the brain changes a lot with weed, also there physiological symptoms I didn't know before, and all the science is not cutting edge. This video goes through the scientific evidence of how your body changes after consuming weed.

LOL facts
Been smoking heavily for around 7 years or so non-stop. Totally clean for 8 months now. And this is literally the BEST decision that I've ever made in my entire life. You have no idea how good I feel. I feel like Superman compared to how I felt like a year ago. It's worth a try. Trust me. You don't need weed or any other substances to feel good. Quit it now and feel the real life. It's difficult and tough, but it's worth it.
7 years daily pot smoker here
and now im on day 28 sober and i feel terrible.
heavy depression & isolation.
please tell me when it stopped and your experience
please
@sleezykrew5835 Hey there, fam! Im glad you made this decision and i strongly encourage you to keep going. You've come a long way, and you've been strong. So strong that you decided to live differently among all the people that have been victims of addiction for almost all their lives. Remember why you started this path from the beginning and never let yourself go back because you decided to change, and if you go back, you've only lied to yourself. As soon as i stopped smoking, I started to feel like you mentioned, but i did these things, and it really helped my symptoms fade away :
1. going to the gym regularly and staying disciplined [very important because you need to help your body detox faster to feel less symptoms]
2. Take regular hot showers every day and do some stretching exercises under the shower
3. Try to stay hydrated and use plenty of nutritional and clear drinks like water , natural fruit juice, and...
4. Use a lot of vitamins. You can eat plenty of fruits or get daily vitamin pills or even vitamin ampoules every 2 weeks (it's better to talk to a dr before doing so)
I've heard cranberry tea or juice is good
You have to Replenish lost potassium and vitamins because of excessive sweating with : melons bananas, citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes ...
5. Avoide Fat, caffeine and alcohol as much as possible
6. a glass of warm milk before bedtime works for insomnia
7. Exercise! Exercise! Exercise!
8. Try to avoide anything related to weed such as smoker friends, social media pages and especially places that you used to smoke in. Avoide them all for a while. And instead get to know and hangout with new and specially healthy people. Go to new places and do new things. Go on vacations and experience new things.
9. Take meditation and working out seriously as it helps with your mentality
10. Alternatively, consulting a specialist like a psychologist or a therapist could be beneficial and worthwhile
I'm 25 now and did it for the first time when i was 15 and started to get heavy into it when i was around 18. I have tried stopping so much. Weed and porn have really impacted my life in a negative way. I became born again over 3 years ago and my faith in Jesus Christ means so much and my addictions have seriously hurt me. I hate that i have enjoyed these 2 things and i wish i never started. Please pray for me

I'm on my last joint, it's midnight and I'm going to sleep next. I'll make a small summary:
I'm 22 years old, I've been smoking for 2/3 years, basically every day. I started smoking when I was heartbroken, I feel like my life has become numb, cloudy, I think I'm addicted, when I smoke I like the effects but deep down i know it's pulling me down, I wanted to avoid my emotions and reserved myself, I became antisocial. I want to quit because i want to change my life! I have goals that I want to achieve!
I need a wake up call.
I would appreciate it if you like :)
(edit: I really appreciate your comments, l read them all to keep me in line, remember you are not alone)
You got this bro. Start walking or hitting the gym instead. Promise it’ll make it easier
@@JMoney33-gn4xb Thanks bro. Sometimes i do some home gym right after i wake up, but sometimes i don't have the energy for that. i'm slowly reducing the dose of weed and try to do my things before smoking
Im trying to quit too. It dampened and desensitized ny brain so much so that i cant really tell what my real emotions are.
im on the same route brotha keep going!!!
Quitting clears your mind. We think we love the high and then we lose ourselves. You got this!
It gets to a point where being sober feels more like a bad trip being high just feels normal
thats not good
@@gemini4958 I agree
Sad
Facts
Yes sir. TIme to quit for me
I love the concept of someone who actually smokes weed explaining the effects of quitting. Completely different tone than someone who doesn’t smoke.
God Of Gods How much a day were you smoking?
He doesn't seem like hes gone near a spec of cannabis in his entire life before ordering that cute little drink
@God Of Gods probably should've started growing your own with one of those payments bud and then its a hell of a lot smaller financial burden
Nah, plants have to be feminized, clones or seeds are expensive if female, etc. it’s expensive to even grow one plant if you don’t already have a setup ready for flowering plants like a tent with ventilation and the carbon filtration.
@God Of Gods now I understand your username. Less weed, more crypto.
I started smoking Marijuana since my teenage. Got addicted to cocaine for over 23 years. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
Yes very sure of Dr.benfungi. They helped me too to overcome my anxieties and get to the root of much of my "mental Illness" which is all rooted from trauma, abusive relationship and a chaotic childhood and addiction. Shrooms made a huge huge impact to why am totally free today.
Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
I literally am going through this now. I don't think I'd ever gone more than 24 hours in the last 15 years without THC. I would get insane dreams just by cutting back. I just felt I needed to see what life was like without it. I'm at the point where I go several days at a time without any at all, and I feel so much better. Every morning I feel so comfortable and rested which I literally NEVER felt in over a decade. The intense disturbing dreams no longer happen and I stopped sweating profusely, but man those are some awful symptoms. One thing that helped a lot was exercise. Keeping myself exhausted from exercise really helped keep the cravings down.
Everything you said about cutting back is just my normal
Weed eliminated all of that for me
god bless you
@@veronicabool2350 Yes that's what happens at first, dreams are subdued. But once your body gets accustomed to daily consumption for over a decade it compensates and it's very unpleasant. Trust me. Just keep doing it in moderation and you'll be ok. I can consume small amounts now without issue, it was the 10+ times a day for 15 or so years that ended up really causing me problems. It took me a while to figure out what it was because I assumed it couldn't be the weed.
Am the opposite bro🤣after a hard training session is one of the only times a find it hard to stay of it
I'm on day 5.. lastnight was rough, sweating like hell and absolute insane dreams.
I would barely dream while I was smoking. I’d just go to sleep and wake up. Once I quit though, it’s like my brain caught me up on 4+ years worth of ideas it had.
OMFG, did you keep a dream journal?
That’s insanely dope
Same. I write them down because of how funny they are. Need to do it right away though otherwise I forget.
Thats because when you sleep while smoking you get little to non-REM sleep and when you quit the brain tries to catch up on REM sleep, this is seen in severe alcohol addicts: delirium tremens, where your brain even tries to get REM sleep while awake
That's so funny because my friend always said he never dreamed I would be thinking hes joking but he was serious and he was High 247 😆
Take it from someone who smoked for 20 years without taking a break. Quitting is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
Y
@@sopharchan2022I can eat now without smoking. I used to depend on it so much that if I stopped I would basically starve myself to the point that I’d become hypoglycemic. I can sleep now uninterrupted. I have dreams now. Before I would wake up every hour and smoke to try to fall back asleep only to wake up again. My anxiety has essentially vanished now that I don’t smoke. I convinced myself that weed was the only thing that helped my anxiety when in reality smoking was perpetuating it. The first week or so was the hardest part of stopping but after that I started to level out and I have no desire to go back. I thought I was going to smoke until the day I died. But I suppose that’s just my own experience. I can’t say that this is the same for everyone and that no one should smoke. I just didn’t benefit from it.
@@sopharchan2022because once your mind clears up you realize what a LOSER you are while getting high all day
@@sopharchan2022because my brain is no longer dependent on a drug in order to produce the necessary chemicals to live well. Sorry if it seems scary, but coming from experience, if you’re a chronic smoker that’s smoking daily (or like I was, losing count of how many times a day I would toke) you brain/body is dependent on weed in order to properly function and feel normal. The easiest way to know if you have any level of dependence is if you develop a tolerance and have to smoke more and more to get your desired high. Dependence happens because the brain stops producing its own endocannabinoid neurotransmitters because it receives them from weed. Your endocannabinoid neurotransmitters send signals through your body via nerve cells and help with various bodily functions.
Indeed!!! Your body feels MUCH better!
My 2nd video of this site, and again I am very impressed with the content being presented. As a lifelong user of over 40 years, I am noticing changes in the way cannabis is affecting my body. I certainly can recognize from personal experience exactly what happens when I try to quit. Which I have for various reasons over the years. I actually didn’t have any issues with stopping for several periods of time over the decades that I have used weed. Yet, since legalization here in Michigan, being retired and no reason to limit my usage, I have smoked daily for over 3 years now. Also, a huge difference between then and now is the potency of the weed produced today. When I started smoking in the mid seventies, an oz would come from Mexico and have a significant amount of seeds that we would gleefully throw along the highways of the Great Lake State.
Anyway, I am down to the last bowl before I attempt to make a break from smoking for a bit. The part about crazy dreams once the cannabis starts leaving the body is absolutely true, but I always found recalling my dreams again as a very positive thing. It’s like a veil being lifted. Again, thanks for the fabulous video, you are my kind of guy. 🍻🌈
Amazing vid man. 2 years old yet the information is timeless.
I quit smoking every time I run out of weed...
And I haven't run out since 21. I'm 25now
Me too
I'm so sorry you had to go through that💔
Why I don't use weed...

@@TheTrendyForecast ~ I still have nightmares of rolling roaches but my therapist said that I'm improving.
as someone who is quite the pot head... I’m about to hit 28 days sober this friday 🥳
UPDATE 9/28/21: 5 months sober now 😇 I must say my quality of life is overall better. I don’t feel as groggy, moody, anxious, or have respiratory issues as I once did when I would smoke every day. I definitely do get cravings still, especially when I smell it nearby, but I’ve come so far that I would hate to break my sobriety so soon.
Oof
I'm 2years ☺️
Congratulations! I'm on day one today 😂
@@strawberryfarmer7324 this is my day 2, i just woke up vomiting everything in my stomach😭😂
@@strawberryfarmer7324 wooo!!! you got this!
LOL I love how you approached this. I've seen many "weed" videos on the effects, etc..but yours has just the right amount of humor and information. I smoke daily and if it wasn't for the cough, I don't think I'd contemplate stopping. I gave up booze a long time ago because it WAS a negative in my life.
Super relatable. I'm enjoying no tests from my job and the 2018 pseudo legalization from hemp extracts. It's great to finally not have to choose great job with benefits or enjoy life with your spirit plant. Mary Jane is a long term companion for many, and I hope you have no shame about your personal neurological patterns. Just because some people enjoy the forced thrust into life without any molecular neuromodulation doesn't mean they get to crush the spirits of those they refuse to accept as whole but into the literal magic of plant-assisted perspective shifting. Please enjoy whatever you do and also enjoy life after that should you decide to move on.
hardest part about quitting is when you’re a few weeks in and you know your tolerance is down enough so that joint or dab will hit harder than it has in a while and you just gotta stay strong 😂
FAAAAACTS!!
Exactly
Me right now 😭😭🤣🤣
Tolerance breaks make weed more enjoyable
This!
For the first time in 5 years, I have been weed-free for 20 days straight. It got to a point where I wasn't getting high no matter how much I smoked and my dependence on it led me to forget about all the other important things in my life. The first week was hard, especially the headaches and lack of dopamine. I did really enjoy the dreams though, some of them felt real.
I don't think I'll stop forever, but I want to only use it in social settings. It was making me hate myself because it became the escape I desperately craved. More power to you if it helps you but for a lot of people, this is another addiction that can lead you to not prioritizing yourself, your physical and mental health.
Thank you and I relate so much to u . I too don't look at forever quitting but at least for now.
@@tylerhamilton3384 Do whatever you gotta do to put yourself and your health first. You can do this! Everything in moderation, you will be okay ❤️
yeah a t break is def necessary for you.
I have heard of other people and the dreams, I need a break also, haven’t had dreams for quite awhile
I haven't smoked it since corona. I feel perfectly fine though sometimes I wish I could take a puff or two, the feeling subsides immediately.
Thank you!! I’m on day 16 🎉I gotta say the thing that helped me immensely was that I was on a road trip when I decided to stop smoking. If I’m honest I didn’t actually decide on that it just sort of happened. I was distracted, busy and tired from my adventurous days. The first few nights were definitely testing when it came to sleeping, I was overheating and restless. I’ve been smoking basically everyday since I was about 13, now 25 …. My poor brain. So far I haven’t actually craved it at all! Heck yeah! It’s not so much that I care about never smoking again, I just want to simmer down, not rely on it, be able to handle my emotions without the substance. Many thanks for explaining all this!
How you doing I’m on day 7 been smoking since I’m 13 aswell everyday
I'm 25 and started at 15, it got bad at 18. I've tried so many times to stop. Any suggestions?
Just curious, are you still clean and marijuana free?
As a 23 year old (been smoking weed since I was 20), I advise you guys to just manage it and don’t smoke or consume everyday. Me personally I’m not quitting due to my mental illnesses and keeps my major depression in check when it gets bad. I smoke every 2-3 days and count how many blunts I smoke as well and on average it’s 3 per session.
One day, after smoking weed almost everyday for a couple of months, I decided to stop using weed for 1 year. It worked, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. To celebrate 1 year without smoking, I smoked weed. I've been smoking ever since.
W
6 months? Off. Try it after thirty years. Sigh.
😂
Try it now.
That happened to me after 9 mo clean
Strange dreams. Huuuuuge for me. I generally don't dream when I'm smoking, the moment I don't for a day or two, I get some maaaassively weird dreams.
I get nightmares about school and shit, also it could just be that weed lessens my stress and when i stop smoking i get stressed again
It’s the return of REM sleep.
Same
Yeah that's the funnest part about quitting
I had a dream about my school bus towing another one, I hopped onboard the towed one, and then we got out at the local mall, and there was a gun fight. Sam L Jackson gave me a gun and said to follow him, I got into the van and got out at a thrift store, where I walked around and then I woke up lmao
I started doing drugs since my teenage. Got addicted to heroin for over 16 years. Heroin addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

@@AnthonyLarsI'm really happy for you that your mom decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
@AnnaThompsonWilliamsYes he's Dr.jeffshroom. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used❤
mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.@@GinaFred
I've smoked weed since 16 and I'm now 28, excessively in my later years. Let me tell you, its effected my cognitive ability. My short term memory is absolutely shot, it's been proven that it can take upto 2 years of healthy diet and sleep to return your hypocampus to normal size after prolonged cannabis exposure. So for those who've quit and don't feel like "themselves" after 28 days. Don't worry, it's a slow process of healing and you'll get there. Stay strong.
I'm at college right now and I'm afraid I won't pass my classes anymore. I had weed psychosis which basically forced me to quit. It's been two months and I'm still not there. Why did it seem like the whole damn world was promoting this when I was young?
@@Dollapfinhave you been lifting and stuff? That can help a lot. Same with diet
@Dollapfin i feel your pain mate I'm experiencing the same problems. You want to know the best way to heal? Run. 5km a day. 30 minutes of hard exercise and in 4-6 weeks you'll feel like a new person, also 8 hours sleep a day. It's the only way to get better.
2 YEARS? Im so cooked
i love weed totally a stoner but at the same time it’s ruined my life. it’s just like every other addiction, i spend all my money on it and do nothing but smoke. i literally just can’t be sober it’s the worst kind of feeling. i think weed can be a great thing for people that have good self control, but i think all this legalization and stuff happening and nobody is talking about using weed safely is gonna have a bunch of people in the same spot i am. no motivation or energy to leave the house for weeks, moody and disconnected. to the point where i’m disassociating not only from people and my surroundings but from my own self and memories and image. i strongly suggest anybody that’s smoking weed to just be careful because no matter what the benefits may be or the legal status, it’s still a drug and it can ruin ur life.
you're telling facts my friend
Bang on point
Amen same here
ive been smoking weed on and off for 6 years, since 13... quit at 19. I'm now 20, over a year without weed and I feel horrible for what I did to my self. I can say there definitely are effects.. really lost a lot of my brain power for sure. still after quitting i feel like being at home and rather doing nothing. hard to find motivation. hopefully on a better path but i am never smoking again. Yes in small doses its okay. buit long term use especially at a young age has serious effects..
It’s a proven Medicine so, yeah misuse is on the user, not the plant
I can confirm that quitting weed was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, I know it sounds funny but the withdrawals were awful and even made me depressed for a while. I couldn’t eat without the feeling of throwing up after two bites of food. I grew accustomed to smoking weed 3 to 4 time a day 7 days a week and it became apart of my life for years. I couldn’t get high off of weed anymore and heavily using wax concentrates. I tried quitting many times but failed constantly until my wife gave birth to my first son and i made her a promise to stop because I didn’t want my son to see me like this in the future. Now in 3 months sober and I can say it was tough but worth it and I don’t see myself going back. I can finally eat normal again and find happiness in simple things like I did when I was a kid. It’s okay for people to use weed but it isn’t when you abuse it.
Thank you for confirming my suspicions about withdrawal affecting appetite, I was genuinely worried when I felt like shit after eating. Im glad to know im not alone and congrats on being sober man, more power to ya ❤
Shit reading this comment like if I was reading my thoughts 😪 my wife is pregnant with our first and she gets really upset when I come home high. I realized that’s not who I wanna be or represent no matter how old is my kid. And I hate making the wife sad too
@zach lmfao, clearly you don’t have kids of your own, like fr who wants to see their kid let alone A KID see them smoke weed 🤣
Man, you need to get back on that.
It can be tough, but if you quit, do it gradually. If you your weed is almost gone, and you don't know if you will be able to get some soon, use the last of it sparingly, gradually decreasing the amount you use and increase the time between use. Weaning and consistency is the key to quitting an addiction. Also, remember, moderation. You don't have to be high all day to enjoy it.
Straight to the point with nice humor. Perfect length of video. Thanks.
Hi I just found your channel and just wanted to say thank you for uploading videos about this topic in a serious but also funny and respectful way
This is how you educate somebody, you don’t belittle them by telling them that they are wrong for smoking. Thank you so much for this video. You are an incredible soul and please keep being you.
You are wrong

I was always told that weed wasn't addictive, which was great comfort as I furiously brushed down my grinder seeking the last bits of crystal dust to smoke. "Man, could you imagine how bad this would be if it actually was addictive?"
and I oop!!!
Brushing the grinder 😂😂😂 Been there more than once
I don’t think that’s addiction, you just really like it and want more, like ice cream. I’m not addicted to either, but I still would like both
There's been times where I've ran out and went scavenging around my garden looking for joint ends to smoke. That's how I knew I had to stop. 2 years thc free and I don't think I'll be going back!
@@chrisscott1402 Congrats
Dude I love your whole take on educating us on the effects of smoking and how your body will react while quitting thank you. I’m on the fence of whether I wanna quit and take a better paying job and actually starting my life but on the other side of the fence is my daily smoking habit that doesn’t let me go. Today is Monday and I’m going to do my best to stay away from it all week and see how I feel on friday
Great video perfectly explained and down to earth af! Learning will help us grow!!
After quitting twice, I found two rules to be absolute saviours
Change of environment, quitting while camping or on vacation or while staying at a friends house, reduced all discomfort by an enormous amount.
Filling your day with activity, never allowing yourself a moment of laziness, reduced all tendencies by an enormous amount.
100% agreed
Couldn't agree more, when with my friends I don't feel like smoking, UNLESS we're just sitting doing nothing.
I just stopped a few days ago and immediately got hit with the worst stomach flu I’ve ever had. Horrible timing 😂 feeling like shit makes me not really wanna smoke though so there’s that
@@stiffnuts420 Well, shit. Take care of yourself
What's the point of not being lazy if you're just going to work out? Or play tennis? That isn't going to change the world. It's when we all sit down around a table and make a plan to make changes to the world with enough backup so that we don't get assassinated one by one. If you aren't expanding your knowledge of the world or sharing your wisdom then life is pretty much pointless. It's wisdom and knowledge that has got us here today. But with the lack of knowledge is why rich white people are now somehow making money selling weed legally to black folks. Isn't that funny? First they throw black folks in jail for it, and now they sell it lol... Come on now. Weed or no weed. WTF ARE WE EVEN DOING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Just do it once a week, preferably on the weekend. You'll look forward to it more, and the high will feel much better than smoking everyday.
big true but addicts would have to deal with sweating heavily and having the withdrawal symptoms the rest of the week
@@eskabanofficial yesh Fr I got three grams and haven’t touched it in a month cause I’m not wanting to do it rn, it’s all about control
I’m about to start trying to smoke on my days off
@@Karss The only thing I hate about smoking is I have less weed afterwards
This is what I do! Also dont mix with tobacco, a lot of people I know smoke all the time because of the nicotine rather than the weed
I really like how you ended that gaining more information and learning helps you make more of an informed and the best decision for yourself :)
Really well done! Quite excellent actually. I will try to keep your friendly and sincere voice in my head through day 7.
I’ve been feeling like there’s a lack of resources, and education about this topic. Thank you for bringing light to it
He did is injustice his neglect to diffentiate between bodyily dependence(physical addiction) and non bodily dependent(meta-physical addiction) and with the primitive dull af brainwashed mindset that addictions are only negative... It's like saying don't behave cause all behavior is bad,,, no positivity exists in all fields including science... had to unsubscribe
@@ras_krystafari3333 you bring up great points honestly
My whole channel is dedicated to quitting weed, its very much a real problem for certain people like myself and many others. Its mentally very addictive!
The dreams are the only thing I find you can’t prepare for
Its because its still federally illegal so no one can really study its effects officially. Weed is just now starting to slowly be legalized around the country and official experiments and studies are just now being conducted, in the future we will see more data like this come out.
As someone who smoked every day for 10 years, I quit when I moved to japan and never really thought anything of it. The fear of stopping was way worse than actually stopping for me.
the key is having something else to do. When is started a new career quitting was easy for me too, but recently i quit again while sitting at home and it was very hard.
@@kronichaze Agreed. I’m a pothead but find it easy to quit cold turkey for a few months at a time, mostly when I have a lot of things going on or goals I’m trying to reach. Unfortunately I work in live music so the past year or so have been pretty uneventful and I’ve noticed I’m smoking more than usual.
In Japan it’s super super illegal so makes sense 😭😭😭😭😭
Absolutely relatable, damn
Yes 100%
Day 11, when I was curious about the topic, this is where I immediately thought to go to. Thanks for the great vid!
Amazing video, man. Great energy. Thank you.
My favorite part of quitting is the dreams. I have the most surreal lucid dreams where I can’t tell real from fake. This video finna makes me want to quit again.
No cappp, I been smoking everyday for the last few years and I’m currently on day 12 of no smoking and man, I’ve been having the most vivid real feeling dreams. When I would dream while I was still smoking they would feel blurred a bit if that makes sense.
The amount of dreams ive logged with my sober girlfriend after quitting that i remember especially with my job is insane and theyre hilarious to wake up from
what i do is i go about 6 months where i smoke every so often then the other 6 i go sober and meditate and ahit like that
Yeah, I noticed I'm able to remember my dreams and notice that I am dreaming. I've been trying to lucid dream, and it almost happens. Getting better every night.
Quit
I smoked for about 7 years and quit cold turkey for 3 months just cause I wanted to see how I'd feel. I honestly felt amazing the only side effects I really noticed was insomnia and just kinda craving it a little In general. After about 2 weeks I felt super clear headed noticed my memory got better. I started smoking again after 3 months and it felt like the first time I smoked weed it was also a great experience. Try to at least take tolerance breaks its good for you and makes the high feel so much better.
I quit alcohol 5 months ago been smoking and drinking for the past 8 years the alcohol wasn’t hard hopefully quitting weed isn’t either
Very true... Detox is good
@Merch ong the dude in the vid tryna make it seem like heroin
so interesting. really seems like the psychological purpose behind smoking weed makes a huge difference on the dependence levels and some how as a result, the withdrawal symptoms....which makes sense BUT I've never heard this described as such with anything ever
Why breaks? If you still have a chance to quit..being Sober is the best way to get high
Thank you this was so helpful and informative!!
Thanks for this video dude. I’ve smoked weed almost nearly every day for 23 years, coming up for 24 years by the time I hit 40 this year. But it is time to put the joint down, so I’ll take to RUclips & make a plan!
(2days without, it’s a start!)

Fantastic thanks buddy... very informative and you are so funny!!!
I didn't start smoking until seriously until I was about 22/23 and I've been smoking for almost 10yrs now. It is such a help for my depression and constant over thinking. I am hyper and all over the place thanks to adhd, or bummed out and don't feel a reason to try anymore, so smoking in the morning and in the evening really helps slow things down to a normal pace. Allowing me to focus better, think clearly, not feel as stressed, not feel discouraged by bad situations, etc.
It's the best medicine I've used for my life.
Try Magnesium.
“Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol, morphine or idealism.”
― Carl Gustav Jung
Idk. Id say a gym addiction is a heavily beneficial addiction and not bad in anyway. Would you disagree
@@icedawggg Well the addiction is bad in itself, I mean what happens if you can't go to the gym? If you're fine then it's all cool, but if you truly are addicted then you'll suffer from not being able to access this "need" and I'd say that's a bad outcome no matter what you're addicted to. I think it's best to keep some sort of balance, even with the healthier things, to make sure they don't turn into toxic habits! ☺️
Actually I'd say gym/sports can be even worse than other activities because it can go from wanting to start eating healthier to an eating disorder and unobtainable physical goals real quick :/
Very true
@@icedawggg you can overwork your body and damage stuff like joints because you're exercising so hard
I wonder if there’s data on how long it takes to get addicted. Or re-addicted.

@@yahyaelmi8435 my dad always tells me everything in moderation
Thankyou for this. My brother has been smoking marijuana since 2014 and now is currently experiancing heart problems, doctors told him he has to quit smoking and drinking. And now he is experiancing thse withdrawls its really sad and scary watching him go through all this. Videos like this as well as experiances in the comment section gives me hope that he can get through this. Thankyou very much.
Did he get diagnosed anything or it’s just the withdrawal symptoms like panic attacks and some chest pain like heartburn that goes away after some time?
I noticed that with dispensary items like weed and edibles I would get heart palpitations. If I smoked or made the edibles myself with homegrown, no palpitations. There's definitely something to it that hasn't been studied enough.
Why would he need to quit smoking tho? Weed won’t hurt his heart
If you feel depression while losing it listen to favorite song and focus on exercise have good food then automatically sleep will come. Repeat it daily
you don't know what depression is
After 10 years of being high everyday, I’m 5 days clean. I’m fortunate to have mild symptoms so far. It’s all about your mental toughness. If you want and need to change, you can and will do it. Stay strong.

Congrats!
@@whiteydiamond I love weed, man.
But habitual use DOES have negative side effects. Instead of laughing at someone for pulling their life together and controlling their desires, maybe you should keep the rude comments to yourself.
Or better yet, try taking a lengthy T-break, yourself.

was it tough
@@MacBOTBoy I'm 2 months sober now after using a couple grams daily for 5 years. Life is way better now then it ever was stoned. Went cold turkey it wasn't tough for me since I got into new activities like rock climbing and biking, had a change in my life that made it more stable plus psychedelics may have had a role in me quitting ;) wish ya luck if you decide to!
@@MacBOTBoy wasn’t too bad. went cold turkey and slept like shit for the first week and half, barely ate for the first couple days, and had hella mood swings. other than that wasn’t too bad
I have anxiety attacks when I consume, so I just don't smoke anymore. It sucks because I miss getting high with friends, but being sober I feel much better in terms of my physical well being and also mentally. I do take CBD though still
@@ajlindsay7987 psychedelics was my main reason as life became way too cartoonish in a scary way, it definitely put me on a better path knowing that. with the help of god and family, I was able to be back to normal perception and still enjoy some weed in my free time.
I literally just woke up one day decided to quit and never smoked again it's been a year
Pls. Take 1 hit... For the boys!
Never again I been smoking 9 years I stopped for 2 day and never stopped again wish I was able to leave it that easy
@@benben6054 ayo bro, you can do it. Smoking fucks the shit out of your lungs, itll be worth it. I'd suggest taking days off work and just hunkering down for like 1-2 weeks, get lots of junk food, and get rid of ALL of the cigarettes/whatever else u do out of your house and burn them. After that, just sit there and let it happen, get lots of rest, eat, try excercises, etc. You can do it.
@@benben6054 I've been addicted to nicotine for 9 years, cannabis for 5 years. I quit a month ago, enduring depression, apathy, loss of appetitte, loss of the will to live, wanting to live my life. Granted I have other issues, but that has been the cataclyst. But enduring this is worth the fight, not being addicted to anything anymore. Live life with less harm to myself, let my lungs breathe and heal.
Same here
Weird....I was a daily user for about 5 years and I just quit. No withdraws, Just a feeling of boredom and having to find a new group pf people who could function without having to smoke every 30min to an hour.
However I fully support anyone trying to quit and I would never belittle that struggle. Keep it up, Your doing great. Don't forget, You got this.
This is such a funny video - nice, non-judgemental, informative! U guys rock
Something i've found to really help me as a chronic cananbis medical user is that your exercise and diet play a HUGE roll in how much cannabis effects you when you're sober. I used to not dream and would feel very groggy during the day with bad memory. After I started taking multi vitamins, omega3 pills/ eating fish, getting strength and cardio back into the mix, I started to dream again, remember more, feel more of the effects of cannabis, and have more energy when sober all while still taking in the same dosage or LESS.
My theory is that a healthier body allows your cannabanoid receptors to recover faster as they have the resources to do so. If you have an unhealthy body your receptors will recover much slower and might not even recover at by the time you have your next dosage further complicating the issue.
I highly advise anyone having issues with cannabis should start with their diet and activity level then work from there as it's an easier base to start at.
Smoked weed everyday for 14 years and then quit for a year. Now I can finally smoke it every now and then like I'd rather and not want to go back to the way I used to be. It had a hold on me and made me really lazy and complacent.
dont smoke
That would be the indica xD
Consume the Marijuana, don't let it smoke you, lol. 👍🏽
How long till you felt normal again or could function?

@@HBKilluminati7 I’ve had a panic attack from weed, started again after a few months and I was fine
G’day guys, I’ve finally decided to cut the weed out after smoking almost every day since I was 17 years old, I am 26 now. I’m on day 7 and it’s been a roller coaster so far but I am already seeing huge improvements. I’ve always had potential to do great things but the minute things got hard I would smoke some weed and all of a sudden doing nothing wasn’t so bad. Enough is enough and it’s time to take ownership of my life and achieve things I’ve always wanted to do. These types of videos are really helping and giving me the extra motivation I need. I know things are only going to get harder but I have never been so determined to cut out this bad habit that has held me back for so many years, I’ve ruined relationships and friendships and missed out on great opportunities from my addiction and I’m now in a pretty good spot in my life and have an amazing support group around me that I do not want to loose. Thought I’d post this comment so I can come back on it every few months and remind myself on why I’m doing this. The journey is only just beginning but I’m excited for the challenge and what I will be able to achieve once I’ve finally kicked the addiction. We can do this guys, nothing great is ever going to be easy.
Nick.
Good luck to you Nicholas I’m the exact same, it’s time to stop and do exactly what we need to do!
I use weed as a dependency whenever I fall down. I go months without weed, everything is good but then as soon as something fails, I start smoking weed.
How’s it going
Did you do it?
How’s it going so far Nick?
On day 25, was going to make it a 28-day goal and decided to extend it a week to 35 days aka 5 weeks total. I'm currently reading "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", and though I have had great emotional insight into myself through cannabis, I have also used it in the past to attempt(and fail) to numb emotional pains. I realized that though it takes more effort, it is possible to take down those mental walls within yourself while being sober, and part of life is mastery of the mind. Especially if you want to work on and live your purpose in life. I am capable of going out sober, watching a movie, enjoying a task, etc. I do not desire to be controlled by some external substance.
That being said I do enjoy the dry herb vaporization of cannabis, and in the future see myself being okay with consuming cannabis after a well-earned life achievement, for a special occasion, or maybe some other variable. I'm okay with myself having a reason to enjoy cannabis once a month, no more than twice, regardless of the circumstances. You have to find what is acceptable for you.
This was extremely helpful thank you
My problem is just that my life is soooo boring. Weed is the only thing that i look forward to after work
Same I try to quit but like all I do is work and if I didn’t smoke I would just be noting anyway so why make my life so boring

When to quit weed ruclips.net/video/CkujUYLZjSA/видео.html 👌👌
Very interesting episode.
I am 57 years old, and up until about 4 years ago I had never used any cannabis in any form. As a boy growing up in the 70s, it was very common, however I found that I really did not like the smell of it. I then went to military college, was in the army, then went on to a career in federal law enforcement, so trying cannabis was not worth the risk of losing a very good paying job
However, i was diagnosed with a very rare slow growing tumor in my neck, which grows about a millimeter or 2 a year and is growing inwards, pressing on my brain stem and spinal cord. Needless to say the pain can be extremely intense, and my doctors prescribed very large doses of opioids. Basically this turned me into a zombie, and I decided to stop taking them, along with the anxiety meds. I began learning different, non addicting, and non life altering ways to at least be able to function through the pain. Cannabis edibles became a way to help, especially when it came to getting sleep. (No matter which way I lay my head, I am putting pressure on the tumor and after about an hour, I would be awakened by excruciating head pain) Enter cannabis, I use it at night to help me sleep, and I remember how grateful I was the first night I tried it. I slept for 7 hours straight, something I hadn't done in years. Using it at night and other pain control techniques during the day, I have regained a measure of living again. I have also learned that I need to take a few days off to reset my system from building up tolerance, or using the cannabis tincture/infusion every other day.
Compared to opioids and other pharmaceuticals, when I use cannabis I find that I wake up every morning feeling refreshed and with energy to face the day. I never have that hangover feeling that the prescription meds gave me. I still have pain, but it is now manageable.
The tumor will grow, the pain will get worse, and one day it will kill me, but in the interim, using cannabis medically has been a gods send.
And the nice warm, tingling buzz is what I call my bonus, lol.
I feel sorry for you, I hope you get better and be satisfied with your life, whether you have tumor or not, everyone will die, I hope Allah gives rewards you for your pain.
Thank you for sharing this sir.
@@rashwanmohamed4545 try Jesus
Thanks for sharing. I wonder how you got a tumor.
@@neverendingweedh1784 apparently it was growing for some time. Because of it's placement it was hard to detect on scans. I kept getting really bad head pain, but the scans of my head were just a bit too high, and so the tumor wasn't discovered for about 2 years after I first started getting the headaches. It wasnt until the head pain worsened and i began loosing feeling and use of my left side that a new scan finally found it.
I am truly fortunate it is not cancerous, and that in only grows by about 1 or so millimeters a year. But eventually it will get so big and rupture or something.
I have become a very strong advocate of cannabis for medical treatment, especially for older people. I try and help them work through their pre-existing prejudices against it. When it's used properly it's very helpful for so many illnesses. And the little buzz is an added bonus. Lol. And it's way better than opioids.
This was so funny and informative 😂, thank you for this
Today is month since I was quit smoking weed every day for 5 years straight.
Still having problems with insomnia and mood regulation, also have sligth problems with
blood pressure which slowly fading away, but this is much better than it was first week. This month was a heck of challenge for me, even thought I ve got help from best med specialists I could reach in my country.
Take a healthy advice - always take a brake even after one pot or cookie and get zooted responsibly. Cheers!
This really killed my high, so I went and smoked more weed
LOL right?
Bro roll it for me too
Smoking while watching

I hate when people say “you can’t get addicted to pot.” Like you can literally get addicted to ANYTHING. sniffing bleach, petting cats, hugging trees. It’s just not an addictive drug like meth or cocaine but you CAN get addicted.
Note that I don’t have anything against weed. I smoke thc a couple times a week to help me sleep.
True. But goddam there are people who are addicted to petting cats? lmao
@@somerandomguy1487 😂😂😂 have you seen my strange addiction on tlc? Some people are addicted to the weirdest things!
People are referring to a chemical addiction, such as nicotine, alcohol or caffiene.
@@lynnmckenney1987 yeah but I’m high school people would always be like “no you CANT get addicted.” They didn’t understand that when people say you can’t get addicted to weed that they’re referring to the chemical component of it and took it so literal 😂
It’s not physically addicting however it is psychologically addicting. Most people are not smart enough to understand the difference and those who spout it’s not addictive don’t say the difference.
One, your body itself reacts to lack of it and the other your mind reminds you of how that felt so you’d feel compelled to do it again. Anything can indeed be addictive but this is not something that causes physical addictions. It’s very simple and easy to understand.
I been smoking everyday since I was like 17 years old. I’m 26 right now & Im at the point where I want to change my life around & start making better life choices. I’m on day 3 today of no more smoking. I want to get my CDL license. Wish me luck 🍀
Very informative, thank you!
So the psychological effects would be acute depression and anxiety along with impaired short term memory? Good thing I already have depression, anxiety, and a shit memory. No side effects here, just normal life
This comment deserves more like.
Lmmfao 🤣. That's truth right there
Right... same🤷♀️
Yes! I'm not the only one 😄
I know everyone is different. In my case, I heavy smoked everyday like many times per day for 3 years or more, I quit it suddenly 2 times and I didn't have this effects. Maybe because of my diet and exercise, maybe it's no just a weed problem.
Was an every day smoker. Weed started making me more anxious...Like all of my short-comings and mistakes would shuffle through my brain like when you're laying in bed and suddenly feel like a failure. And the feeling of being high was overall unejoyable. I'd just get jittery and feel irresponsible and like I could be doing better things with my time but oh shit now I'm baked. 2 months clean and i feel so refreshed. And i'm dreaming regularly which has been awesome.
Edit: im glad to see people are resonating with this comment. I like to stress that it's all about moderation. I was smoking 1-2x daily for a couple years before I started experiencing the anxiety mentioned. Sometimes you've just got to listen to your body and cut back, despite your brain being trained to pack a bowl. If weeds never done you wrong, toke the hell up! Wishing you all well!
@The Mark Soto Show I had the same thing, and I’m about a month and a half without doing it, my advice is just throw everything you have that will tempt you away and then only do it with your friends every once in a while, and start exercising regularly it’ll help you feel so much better
@The Mark Soto Show I was a daily smoker for 7 years, now (2021) i reduced a lot, didnt stop totally, cause i really enjoy the effects (happiness and relaxing). Generally i jump 1-2 weeks cleam and smoke only on weekends (like drinking beer or watching movie). That's the way i found to reduce damages. For me on the day 2 until 6 was the hardest moment, i started (as said in video) dream with weirds stuffs and little bit difficult to sleep, also anxious and bad mood. I think im closer now to some kind of balance, trying to extract the healthiest mode from Cannabis.
@The Mark Soto Show im glad I was able to resonate with you in some capacity. Don't get me wrong, I'm very tempted to smoke. If I didn't have a drug test coming up in a week I probably would. The trick for me seems to be taking longer breaks between smoking..viewing it more as a delicacy than a daily necessity. No need to sit at home baked when I could be cleaning or studying. Find a hobby, stick to it.
Something i read on reddit which really stuck with me was whenever you have some dank and feel the urge to smoke but know it's probably just gonna make you feel lazy and regretful, remind yourself that you can smoke tomorrow. Say "meh, why smoke right now. I'll do that tomorrow". It gives you something to look forward to and eventually tomorrow becomes next week becomes next month and so on. Just throwing that out there. Made a huge difference for me. Hope it helps :)
Its like at times i enjoy it but at times it makes me feel like i could be doin something better with myself....i think im just learning how to control it more im learning how to relax with it instead of overthinking it it has its moments when sometimes it gets a lil overwhelming then i would have to something that i know would calm me down such as watching music videos or get on my girl nerves lol but overall i would just overthink the situation.
@@shawnbatiste7911 just do what you think is best for yourswld
GOTTA LOVE HOW YOU EXPLAINED IT, NO JUDGEMENT, NO EXTREMES, NO ABSOLUTES! this is what science says so far...please give this man an award!
This explains so much!! I was smoking daily before going on a family vacation. I obviously couldn’t bring my stuff with me on the plain with my family. I started out really irritable, restless and paranoid. I was really bothered on the first 2 days. As the days went on I got less and less bothered. By the end of the vacation I lost the urge and feeling the need to smoke all together. Now I only smoke on occasion/ when I want to. Maybe once a week, maybe less. Really there has to be a thought behind it. It’s not like a craving or second nature like it used to be
I’m on day 10 of quitting, and I can say from a daily smoker for about 6-7 years I’ve never been so open minded and clear in my mental health and physical health. I do miss the feeling of being stoned, but I rather prefer the clarity now 😄
I quit weed back in 2016 after smoking for 11 years regularly. The first week was rough but after that it got better and i felt more alert. I felt like i got my senses back
yea sadly i relapsdd
I took an extended break for about 6 months, and I will say I agree with you on the clarity. I had an easier time remembering things and getting things done.. BUT I'm back on the weed now lol but only use it at night for winding down after work or just general relaxation. Not getting high throughout the day and only smoking at night has helped tons.
Dude the same right here, i feel awesome!
I was having full seizures out of nowhere for the past 12 yr quit just over a month ago n only have had small one's staying fully conscious during witch was not happening when I smoked so I'm going to see how long I can stay off with no grandma seizures, in July I woke up in hospital, with a tube down my throat. so I have a good reason

@@BlueDreamXxX thanks, man. I appreciate you. The key thing for me is to not even begin to entertain the idea of admiring the blessed herb like admiring pictures, etc. With this key principle after the first two weeks everything went very smoothly. Plus when I'm down and weed comes to mind I quickly remember that it won't solve anything obviously, it's only going to make my life worse because I always end up abusing it.
@@jotabarberaIV I 100% agree. As soon as I take one toke it's like I'm a different person for months. 1 toke is never just one toke for me unfortunately. I understand its different for everyone though, you've got to understand your own ability to become an addict. Unfortunately I don't seem to have any margin for error. It's a very steep slope for me
U got this far think about that too. Good job btw 👏🏼
I was just thinking the same
The only side effects that I get from coming off of a weed binge is decreased appetite and trouble getting to sleep.
But quitting is easy as long as there's no weed in my possession.
I went from a weed binge to a bodybuilding routine, ironically.
Depends how much you smoked
theres a difference between a "weed binge" and smoking every day for years and suddenly stopping. some people also have mental issues that are worsened by withdrawals.
I smoked while working out. I’m about 1/4oz of pot lasting 3-4 days and I buy again
Smoked every day (usually after 3pm) for 6 years. I'm 10 days clean and feel like a new person. Still having whacky dreams.. the first week was tough as my mood swings were everywhere but so worth it. No going back for me.

Enjoy your holiday with a new understand of neurology *cheers* :)
@@AxxLAfriku You probably got hate for saying you'd gladly cheat on them...
Happy 420
Also, the birthday of a certain mass murderer.
The only side effect I experienced when I stopped smoking weed was decreased appetite. Because I didn't have the munchies every few hours. If not for weed, I'd go days without eating simply because I don't feel hungry and will forget
Weed gives me a normal appetite, where I can actually eat 3 meals a day. Normally I eat once and snack at like midnight once in a while
Dude I legit thought I was the only one
Go on google and look up lifecykel order the turkey tail tincture bro that shit fixed my appetite even when I’m not smoking. I have the worst appetite like I cannot eat, I’m hungry but food makes me feel nauseous. Two droppers of that turkey tail stuff in the morning and I can actually eat properly, thank me later 👍🏼
Same
@@Thetcart360 I don't understand, how does that help your appetite? It doesn't say it affects appetite in the product description.
This was both educational and entertaining, thank you

At my peak I was smoking 8-12 joints a day. Then I began to realise that I was not living my full potential, so I quit & I'm not focused on getting high all the time my life is popping off. It's very refreshing 🥰
Are you living at your full potential now?
Good shit. You don’t need weed to live a happy life
