Can’t lol, I get nicotine and thc level withdrawals (irritated, overstim, anxiety enhancement) and my household already kinda prone to fighting so not a good mix
I get a couple handles of Jameson and have a glass (2-3 shots) per night for the first month or so. Clean and lock up all equipment and store in a footlocker in the garage so it is out of sight out of mind. I don't drink regularly and the liquor completely cuts through any withdrawal issues.
I quit smoking tobacco and I quit consuming caffeine. I tapered off on both. The one thing I would point out for anyone who is quitting is that for most people it takes multiple attempts. So the most important thing is to give yourself permission to not be perfect and to try again as many times as it takes. Took my four tries to stop smoking for sure and been nicotine and caffeine free for 12 and 10 years respectively. The second thing I would say is research the symptoms of withdrawals so you know what to expect and how other people coped with that so you have an idea of what you can do to mitigate that.
Another tip for taking a tolerance break is to just keep yourself occupied. If you just sit on your couch doing nothing your urge to consume will be strong. Replace the activity with something else.
100%. play a video game, take a walk, do something with friends that doesn't involve smoking, etc. keeping yourself occupied is by far the best way to kill the urge in my experience.
Hn bro 💀 I done that shit before and every activity just sucks cause I’m used to doing it high like working, going to the gym, going out etc. Ain’t no way of skipping the mental withdraws of weed. Just take it like you got a cold. Yes it sucks but the worst part goes away in a few days
I dunno, it just doesn’t work for me. I’m pretty sure I’ve developed a dependence on weed, can’t sleep without it, can’t really function normally without it.
@@tribal5181 it’s all mental my dude, I honestly thought I was gonna be a wreck going out of the country for the holidays and having nadda but it’s legit not the end of the world. I haven’t been itching for it at all, and I usually only have two sessions a day (2-3 hours each). Three days before leaving I was dabbing from am to sleep like it was my last meal on death row haha. Yes my appetite was altered but I wasn’t moody, or irritable and weed hasn’t occupied my thoughts. When I get back Ill be three weeks without and cannot wait to blast off but it’s just something exciting to look forward ti me. The only negative has been my back has been throbbing like a mofo (OG reason why I started second to getting high) You just have to be the master vs the plant! You can do it!
This movie sucks when I'm not baked, this guitar solo doesn't sound as cool when I'm not baked, there's a lotta things that can go into this category lol.
dude i found out the hard way when i was smoking about 3-4 grams a day to cutting it to just one little bong bowl thought it would help but the withdrawals still came lmao. just recently became a father two days ago and i feel like this video is perfectly timed for me because i don’t want him to be around it or even smell me. thanks cewpins
Withdrawal from herb? I am not trying to make fun of anyone trying to stop, but the worst is maybe headaches and sleeplessness. Try going through withdrawals from opioids.
Withdrawals go away... eventually! Being a responsible man and father is who you are now. Smoke when yer shit is sorted, everything's easier with practise including giving up. Rewards are earned!!! Good luck to you and yours
@@Brando-wc8fz as long as ur being responsible with ur child u good; nobody said it yet but I know somebody bout to b on some “if ur a parent u shouldn’t do drugs😖”
If you’re trying to quit, start small! Even as much as “I will not smoke for 1-2 hours, and keep building on that everyday. If you go cold turkey or too fast you will most likely crash and binge. Much love to you all and good luck!
really important to have something else to replace smoking though, like hobbies, going outside, work out etc otherwise you’re just gonna be thinking abt smoking and it’s gonna be 100x harder
I used to smoke everyday for over 2 years every single day. I moved to another state where I no longer had access to it. I used to think about stopping all the time but just couldn’t do it. When I got high i felt the urge to stop but when I was sober all I could think about was weed. The worst part was the loss of appetite. And crazy vivid dreams. These symptoms lasted around 2 weeks after I quit then after that I felt pretty normal. I have an addictive personality so the only way I was able to stop was to not have any access to it at all.
I'm coming to that point. Planning on taking a multi-month break here soon and I'm not looking forward to it, but I have to prove to myself that I can.
Hey man, I have to say I started doing the 9 o’clock smoking and I’ve got my sense of happiness back from marijuana. Carts completely ruined my high but now I can actually enjoy it and that’s all thanks to you
Hey bro love your perspective and I agree with moderation. But one thing I want to emphasize is using the word “quitting” like you’re never going to smoke again, it’s a psychological thing where you think you’ll never get high again perpetuating an individual not wanting to quit. Instead it’s better to think about it as “this is not aligning with my current life situation” and doing it one day at a time like you mentioned, whether it be tapering off or cold turkey, you start using this medicine when it aligns with your life and goals, love your work sir 🖤
This video couldn’t of been more perfectly timed. 2 days ago I decided i needed to try out the whole just smoking before bed thing. But i kinda of want to quit. This might just push me to do it
I went from smoking every day to quitting cold turkey since about a week and a half ago. Honestly withdrawals are not that bad but I do miss it😆It’s not that bad but it’s just not the same without it. I will say though that dreams get fuckin crazy when off the za. Games just suck when i’m not baked and sitting in my bed just being sober is so lame. Hopefully will be getting back into it soon✌🏽
Most of this is pretty obvious to me, but even with that said, having it put in a video helps me feel a lot better about the next few days of fixing my tolerance so I can manage it more responsibly
I've quit numerous times for over a year at a time and honestly the only way I managed was to go completely cold-turkey. Once you know you need to quit set a date in the near future - about 1 week usually does it, tell yourself that you can smoke up until that date, but then it's time for a new start. you'll need to remove all paraphernalia clean up your room and prepare for a rough week or two with no appetite, insomnia and an ocean of emotions, you'll only manage to succeed if you truly want to do it. that's the key. Good luck!
Perfect video as I’m in the middle of this now. I frequently go all in for a few months, then quit for a while. Rinse and repeat. Over the years, cold Turkey has annihilated me, particularly after months of heavy BM dabbing. My memory was shot, I was wide awake all the time, barely could sleep, zero appetite and hurt to eat, tons of saliva etc. After like a week, I was good. Now, I’m trying to wean off of legal dabs. I’ve been taking tiny rosin dabs and they’re still getting me decently high. I’m trying to take as little as I need to feel good throughout the day and not like crap. Enough to “feed” the craving you could say, but not blast it.
If you got to quit, you got to quit. Maybe you need time to stop and build a better relationship with yourself. Think about why am I smoking? Cannabis withdrawals are primarily mental. You can get through them. Taper down and eventually you just have to bite the bullet and stop cold turkey. Do not let the fear of withdrawals stop you from quitting. My worst symptom was being significantly more irritable when I stopped smoking to finish school. Sleep issues are common either in first couple days or a week or so after stopping. As cewpins says, depends on your consumption. He is right, tapering down is very key. If you think willpower alone will help you quit, you are wrong. You have to have a plan, and the support of your friends. If you don't have any that you can turn to, then let this community be your friends. We all love smoking, but we also don't want to see it take over your life. Managing your "tolerance" is something cewpins talks about a lot, but he is also saying "don't live in a state of numbness due to cannabis. Enjoy Getting high, but enjoy everything else as well. Have a healthy relationship with the substance" . Like any substance (D word), cannabis does have benefits, but it is all about how you use it. I recommend tapering down for two weeks. Once you stop smoking and make it past your first couple days and first week, you will make it. Have someone else hold you accountable. That helps a lot. Make a plan to quit with them. It can be embarrassing, but if they truly care about you and you and them can both see that something needs to change, it is time. Give all your stuff to someone trusted, and explain your plan to them. Avoid spending time with people who will try to convince you to smoke again. Or at least explain your plan to them and hopefully they will respect your choice. Fill the time that you would normally be smoking with something else. Most people choose to quit forever or temporarily because they have something else that they feel is more important, and their current relationship with cannabis is holding them back. Invest your time into that. If you have a reason other than tolerance break for quitting, do not come back to smoking until you build a better relationship with the plant. Again, if you can, make a plan with someone, and have them keep you accountable, so you don't just end up smoking the exact same way as you did before.
ive been on and off for about a year solely because of a lack of availability. I basically quit cold turkey every 1-2 weeks when I run out, Gotta say I never stop missing it, though I almost definitely have undiagnosed adhd and anxiety, depending on how much I smoke it basically just makes me feel normal.
I'm currently thinking about quitting. I recently had an ounce and all I did was smoke every night and sometimes even before I go to work. It put me in a huge depression and made me overthink everything going on in my life past, present and future. By the time I reached halfway I was just forcing myself to smoke because of the habit I guess... I don't workout any longer and I am living in constant fear of things that probably will never happen. Weed messed up my brain bro. I was a cool, calm and collected guy but now it's different. Videos from cewpins, dopeasyola and weed stories used to always make me want to smoke weed but now when I watch them I have this bitter taste in my mouth. I don't blame the herb tho... only myself. Can't even enjoy video games anymore bruh.
@@RIKASHANDLER I've started back exercising consistently and started playing dark souls 3 which is really enjoying. I do have the occasional bowl here and there but only like two times a week and only after I've done what I need to do that day. I'm really enjoying the high too. Something to avoid when smoking weed is caffiene.
i recently had a doctor tell me i might have Cannabis Hypermesis Syndrome(which im not convinced i have my symptoms seem more consinstent with some form of chilli related food poisoning.), but id love to hear your thoughts on the subject.
@@cade4026 yeah i know its a real possibility, but im just waitng for more evidence ig. ive already started decreasing my usage so im really not too worried
I’m a week free so far, had to stop for a drug test. Worst part is that i would see my boys smoke every day without me. I had a really bad withdrawal for the first 2 days, but after that it was coming down.
Good points made! Currently unemployed and figured out to only smoke five days a week; tuesday thursday are off days. I only smoke a bowl a night and on weekends, what can I say, it can add up. But five days a week maintains a nice routine and balance of the feel good.
I appreciate your honesty. Weed is the least harmful and least addictive recreational drug. If you smoke everyday you don't just develope a tolerance but also a dependence and if you stop cold turkey withdrawal symptoms will occur. As is does tobacco, caffeine and alcohol.
ive done it multiple times because i was scared i was gonna get drug tested and all i really did was just stop litterally cuz i dont think i have the "addiction gene" but idk the only thing thats different when i do stop is that my first 5 days off i litterally have the best slump of my life everytime i go to bed
It’s not too hard to quit if you have a good reason to e.g. getting drug tested. When no outside factor is motivating you to quit, that’s when it can become difficult psychologically.
I quit a little over a month because my mom found my stuff and I just stopped I had been smoking for like 3 months 1-2 times a day and when she found my stuff I just quit. It really wasn’t that hard at all the only times it was hard was the first week after that I didn’t really feel like smoking anymore and today I’m a month and 10 days clean
On day 5…I’m taking a personal tolerance break until I pass a personal piss test. Can’t keep smoking 3-4 bowls of dispensary buds for 45 mins of a high 😂 once it’s out my system I’m gonna smoke only at night 💀
I went cold turkey when smoking 8th+ a day in order to get listed for a heart transplant, had zero “withdrawal” symptoms besides vivid dreams for 6 months or so. Did take almost 5 months to pass a piss test though.
This is timely. I am going on holidays vacation to Texas from a legal state. For the first time in my life because of those new hemp law changes delta 9 real thc edibles are legally sold in local dispensaries all across Texas. In order to respect these new awesome changes and lower risk to myself and be a mature adult I will abide by the laws and obey because I can homegrow in my own state and where I am traveling to has options to enjoy legal thc. Because of this I am going to take a t break when I run out of bud tonight or tomorrow and cold turkey it a few days before the trip so I am not miserable and traveling but ill tank a few days of feeling awful and then have a great sober, legal, and enjoyable trip down South like when I was a kid 2 decades ago :)
Bruh tell me why I'm in the same situation right now. Texas fucking sucks. Their weed laws compared to cali is mad annoying. I'm here for like two weeks but luckily my girl has a friend who moved out here years ago and plugs. So tomorrow ima hit that up and try to get some decent bud while I'm here lol.
@@thefear420 Word be safe man it's no joke down there with penalties and shit so stay lowkey no stupid shit like bluntrides in TX. I'm coming from near DC where weed and dmt/shrooms/acid is all legally sold in dispos so I feel you it's why I left Texas' authoritarian shithole
@@lizardjoel whoa what in dc they have psychedelics sold? Never knew, cool 😎. I'll be safe i don't smoke in cars or anything flashy in cali anyway. Always discreet. Anyway good luck on the temporary break👌 you got this
As someone who quit cold turkey recently, I replaced my time by working more (wfh), withdrawal/temptation sucks, but threw out my piece so that aint happening. I'm sure eventually it'll pass.
I am not condoning any drugs or glorifying them but every time I need a break from weed and am having a hard time I take acid or mushrooms for 2-3 days straight to skip withdraws and went in with the intention of quitting weed. It’s kinda worked for me I stay off it for 1-2 months which is good enough for me and go right back
I have been smoking 4 grams a day for 14 years and I never felt addicted to cannabis mentally or physically and to be honest science has proven that cannabis isn't even physically addicting at all, literally the only way to get addicted to cannabis is to be weak minded enough and weak willed enough to trick your mind into thinking you actually need it to begin with. And I know I'm not addicted because as I said I have been smoking 4 grams a day for 14 years and about 10 year into it I had to move to another state and I had no connections for 6 months. And I didn't crave it, I didn't feel any withdrawals, and to be quite frank I didn't need it at all to the point where I wasn't even thinking about it but once I got new friends and they offered me a hit I got back into it that way and that is about it.
I honestly think cold turkey is the best approach. I’ve quit multiple times and yeah the first few days sucks but if you are quitting you are doing it for a reason. Weed stays in your system for a long time so if you are starting a new job and have a drug test in two-three weeks you pretty much have to quit. Workout as much as possible, drink as much water as possible, and sweat as much as possible. The people who are the most unhappy with quitting do nothing with their time. They now just have an extra 3-4 hours in their day and they realize how little they did other than work and smoke.
Don't quit man, you're a much better weed-tuber with your lit session every night - on twitch! Everyone needs to come sesh with cewpins on twitch and don't forget to link your Prime!!
not having tolerance sucks though. when I don't have a tolerance I get super anxious, paranoid edgy every time and it's no fun. either all in or all out for me lol.
I found a new method to get higher with dabs/dry herb vapes. I know it sounds dumb, but you take a large hit so your lungs are full then exhale a little bit of vapor, then inhale fully, exhale a little bit more, inhale fully, exhale more, etc. until vapor is gone. I can assure you is isn’t just oxygen deprivation because each inhale you are getting more and more and oxygen, plus the it actually gets me higher not just that pseudo asphyxiation feeling. Try it, I promise you it works. I wouldn’t do it with smoke tho, just dabs or dry herb vapes
I used to smoke every day. finished my last pod and quit abruptly for 21 days. Rn I’m about 2/3 of the way done. Yeah the first few days I craved it but I didn’t let the cravings control me and I persisted through. 6 days left in my break.
I've quit a few times for different reasons and usually I'll get my last batch and have it sitting where I can see how low its getting. I instinctively see how much is left and start conserving it without thinking too much about it. I'll take smaller hits less frequently until theres none left and then after that I dont buy more and I make sure my bong is clean before I stop so I don't get the urge to buy more from cleaning my bong.
I will say tho that those desperation hits where you scrape up every molecule you can for that one last high are some of the worst highs ever. Just clean the grinder out and throw away any disposable containers at that point.
This is what I been doing. I stopped cold turkey that didn’t last long. So I did this and now I been sober for a few days. CBD helps greatly to reduce the withdrawal symptoms for me. I just want vivid dreams back.
@kalib Stanton that’s what I want back as well. I miss taking two drops of delta 8 and being stoned for the whole day. I remember taking 10 drops and I didn’t feel shit. That’s when I stopped cold turkey.
I still smoke the beautiful herb but recently stopped cigarettes by smoking cbd bud to just still have the motion of smoking as the nicotine wasn’t an issue it was the action of smoking and the routine of waking up having a cig n a coffee n what not
I’ve never experienced withdrawals. Every time I visit my parents in TX for several days, I don’t experience withdrawals. I usually smoke about 2-3 j’s a day.
Dude, I really only have access to 510 stuff. If you could do a really comprehensive video on how to, and which brands of "battery" are good, I would love that. If you're not that experienced at 510, maybe you could interview someone who has been at it for years, and maybe knows how to repair, things to look out for, that would truly make my week.
Recently to quit I switched from d9 to d8 to hhc, and then quit the hhc cold turkey the only "withdrawls" I had were some wild ass dreams. When I quit d9 cold turkey many years ago I got dissociated for almost 5 months after I stopped.
Yo I got a question, I know you don't like tobacco so what about a clean glass blunt? Probably not because same point of if you're gonna hit weed, hit green and in a glass blunt you're almost always hitting black. I just wanted to know.
I have to ask, I"ve been clean for a little over a decade. I'm about to try these D9 gummies and cut these 15mg into 1/4 to start, maybe even 1/8 due to being gun-shy. The reason I quit back then was because in the 80's and 90's I smoked every single day for 15yrs (because I was stupid and had no clue about anything) and life forced me to quit for a few years. That lead me to my last few times and they were nightmarish. Horrible anxiety attacks and thought I was having a heart attack lol. I fucked up and ate a whole cookie the last time and I had to walk around in the snow to calm down lol. That was a decade back. But I'm looking to get back in slowly and thought gummies would be good. What are your opinions on someone wanting to get back in after being out for so long after a horrible last few experiences? PS, not looking to get wasted either, I'm just looking for a positive mood change on a weekend at home. To be chill and relaxed. Kids are grown and gone and I'm tired of worrying about everything lol.
If I had to quit smoking I would just never clean my pieces, start smoking atleast one blunt per sesh, and snap every single bowl. After a few days I would be so disgusted by the look of my pieces and the thought of smoking another blunt that it would be super easy to quit!
I stopped feeling weed withdrawals after I got addicted to blow and alcohol at the same time. Not to mention the amount of mirror shoes I sold near the catholic schools.
i would consider my self a heavy smoker, and personally i been able to quit several times for the time that i thoght it was necesary and my method was just to stop... i been able to stop several times that i dont really feel a "withdraw" maybe a bad mood some times but nothing i cannot control, also that i enjoy being sober as much as i like being high i would say the key its just be disiplined...
The biggest withdrawal is boredom. I would only quit if it was for a job I wouldn’t even second think to turn down. I like the industry and cannabis so I don’t think it’ll be a problem but imagine being a stoner and having to quit cold turkey for something like that😮💨
I need more money so I’m shooting for an airline job from cannabis cultivation LOL. I’m still wanting to keep my home grow going even when I’m at the airline
Been smoking for 17 years hard for long periods, none for some periods...only time I had trouble quitting was when I was teenager...over than that I'll just wake up one day and won't smoke for a few months then I'll wake up one day and be like yeah I'm getting baked...no withdrawals from weed...for me atleast
I was smoking a lot every night to go to sleep and even during school then I got caught acted like it was my first and only time and kept getting high decided to cold turkey for me it just got boring so I quit and had no withdrawals and when I was smoking I was smoking so much I would smoke like 7 grams and not get high not even the slightest it got boring and now I’m 19 days clean and I’m feelings better than ever!
I use to smoke joint after joint but since florida's medical program has gotten better i dont smoke as much anymore. 6 bong rips in like 2 hours window and im good for bed. much less compared to 3-4 joints a night lol
Thanks for this. I’m turning 35 in January and just realized thc makes eating healthy nearly impossible for me and that seems like something I should fix if I don’t want to die young. But it’s winter in Chicago and depressing as shit. Maybe I’ll just switch to 5mg edibles and I have an entire oz of cbd hemp. Would that help?
If you can control the muscles in your hands to not touch a hot stove,because you know you'll get burnt,then it's as simple as controlling what you eat, because you know you die of heart disease
I prefer to weigh off over a week or two but I have stopped cold turkey a few times for programs that required me to stop mainly I was just annoyed at the world and would get hot and cold flashes.
I usually switch to only cbd for about a week, and then after that week i stop altogether. I've done it multiple times due to drug testing when i switch jobs
I quit to get a job and ended up not smoking for almost a couple years. With the better part of the decade spent smoking daily. It does suck for a bit but I could comfortably hang out with people smoking in a couple months. I mean I never stopped hanging out with people that smoke I just passed. Kinda Tommy Chong’d quitting.
I took a break for a year, all I did was made conversation by saying I was giving up ouid, my cousin laughed and it must have hyped up my ego so I stopped buying and vaped for afew months untilI was too lazy to buy juice, I only came back because I missed it and had money I didn't really need
Goin thru hella withdrawals rn, i went from smoking a ounce every 2 weeks to nothing bc i lost my job. I done cleaned my pieces of resin and reclaim theyre fuckin spotless now lmao. Cant wait till i start working again
Currently I quit cold turkey for a job it for rough but I thought it would be more difficult than it was I'm at 8 ½ weeks now once I pass my UA I'm going back but have already decided not to use as much as before and Im only going to consume on the weekends between 6pm and 9pm (thanks to your advice)
When quitting cold turkey my body couldn't properly regulate its temperature. I was cold all the time, to the point of shivering even. It was horrible.
Hey Crew, I’ve been dealing with a condition that MJ has caused me, making me vomit uncontrollably and not be able to eat for days. Idk if you have any experience with this but i think its CHS. Any words of advice? and will I have yo stop smoking forever?

Hey man, I have to say I started doing the 9 o’clock smoking and I’ve got my sense of happiness back from marijuana. Carts completely ruined my high but now I can actually enjoy it and that’s all thanks to you
Did you change to flower or stay with carts
Hey bro love your perspective and I agree with moderation. But one thing I want to emphasize is using the word “quitting” like you’re never going to smoke again, it’s a psychological thing where you think you’ll never get high again perpetuating an individual not wanting to quit. Instead it’s better to think about it as “this is not aligning with my current life situation” and doing it one day at a time like you mentioned, whether it be tapering off or cold turkey, you start using this medicine when it aligns with your life and goals, love your work sir 🖤
This video couldn’t of been more perfectly timed. 2 days ago I decided i needed to try out the whole just smoking before bed thing. But i kinda of want to quit. This might just push me to do it
Trust me smoking before sleep will accustom your mind and body to it and u wont be able to sleep w/out smoking.
So just basically dont smoke evry night and ur good
I went from smoking every day to quitting cold turkey since about a week and a half ago. Honestly withdrawals are not that bad but I do miss it😆It’s not that bad but it’s just not the same without it. I will say though that dreams get fuckin crazy when off the za. Games just suck when i’m not baked and sitting in my bed just being sober is so lame. Hopefully will be getting back into it soon✌🏽
Most of this is pretty obvious to me, but even with that said, having it put in a video helps me feel a lot better about the next few days of fixing my tolerance so I can manage it more responsibly
I'd probably consume myself in a hobby or something to take my mind off the cravings
Great way to do it!
Once again cewpins, somehow every video you upload lines up with my life. I have to quit in the near future for school and i see this in my homepage
nah fr
I've quit numerous times for over a year at a time and honestly the only way I managed was to go completely cold-turkey. Once you know you need to quit set a date in the near future - about 1 week usually does it, tell yourself that you can smoke up until that date, but then it's time for a new start. you'll need to remove all paraphernalia clean up your room and prepare for a rough week or two with no appetite, insomnia and an ocean of emotions, you'll only manage to succeed if you truly want to do it. that's the key. Good luck!
Perfect video as I’m in the middle of this now. I frequently go all in for a few months, then quit for a while. Rinse and repeat. Over the years, cold Turkey has annihilated me, particularly after months of heavy BM dabbing. My memory was shot, I was wide awake all the time, barely could sleep, zero appetite and hurt to eat, tons of saliva etc. After like a week, I was good.
Now, I’m trying to wean off of legal dabs. I’ve been taking tiny rosin dabs and they’re still getting me decently high. I’m trying to take as little as I need to feel good throughout the day and not like crap. Enough to “feed” the craving you could say, but not blast it.
Thanks for the new upload man much appreciated🤙 I’ve been needing help with this even considered just smoking cigarettes💀
If you got to quit, you got to quit. Maybe you need time to stop and build a better relationship with yourself. Think about why am I smoking?
Cannabis withdrawals are primarily mental. You can get through them. Taper down and eventually you just have to bite the bullet and stop cold turkey.
Do not let the fear of withdrawals stop you from quitting. My worst symptom was being significantly more irritable when I stopped smoking to finish school. Sleep issues are common either in first couple days or a week or so after stopping. As cewpins says, depends on your consumption. He is right, tapering down is very key.
If you think willpower alone will help you quit, you are wrong. You have to have a plan, and the support of your friends. If you don't have any that you can turn to, then let this community be your friends. We all love smoking, but we also don't want to see it take over your life.
Managing your "tolerance" is something cewpins talks about a lot, but he is also saying "don't live in a state of numbness due to cannabis. Enjoy Getting high, but enjoy everything else as well. Have a healthy relationship with the substance" . Like any substance (D word), cannabis does have benefits, but it is all about how you use it.
I recommend tapering down for two weeks.
Once you stop smoking and make it past your first couple days and first week, you will make it. Have someone else hold you accountable. That helps a lot.
Make a plan to quit with them. It can be embarrassing, but if they truly care about you and you and them can both see that something needs to change, it is time.
Give all your stuff to someone trusted, and explain your plan to them.
Avoid spending time with people who will try to convince you to smoke again. Or at least explain your plan to them and hopefully they will respect your choice.
Fill the time that you would normally be smoking with something else.
Most people choose to quit forever or temporarily because they have something else that they feel is more important, and their current relationship with cannabis is holding them back.
Invest your time into that.
If you have a reason other than tolerance break for quitting, do not come back to smoking until you build a better relationship with the plant. Again, if you can, make a plan with someone, and have them keep you accountable, so you don't just end up smoking the exact same way as you did before.
“this game sucks when im not baked” 😂I go through this regularly
Why is this true games feel boring and horrible when not baked
@@brandonegan523 😂its more interesting when your baked
@@BGE420 And less raging
ive been on and off for about a year solely because of a lack of availability. I basically quit cold turkey every 1-2 weeks when I run out, Gotta say I never stop missing it, though I almost definitely have undiagnosed adhd and anxiety, depending on how much I smoke it basically just makes me feel normal.
I'm currently thinking about quitting. I recently had an ounce and all I did was smoke every night and sometimes even before I go to work. It put me in a huge depression and made me overthink everything going on in my life past, present and future. By the time I reached halfway I was just forcing myself to smoke because of the habit I guess... I don't workout any longer and I am living in constant fear of things that probably will never happen. Weed messed up my brain bro. I was a cool, calm and collected guy but now it's different. Videos from cewpins, dopeasyola and weed stories used to always make me want to smoke weed but now when I watch them I have this bitter taste in my mouth. I don't blame the herb tho... only myself. Can't even enjoy video games anymore bruh.
Kinda terrifying how you just described my current situation in life. Im attempting to quit right now and i hope to god it helps me in the long run
@@RIKASHANDLER I've started back exercising consistently and started playing dark souls 3 which is really enjoying. I do have the occasional bowl here and there but only like two times a week and only after I've done what I need to do that day. I'm really enjoying the high too. Something to avoid when smoking weed is caffiene.
i recently had a doctor tell me i might have Cannabis Hypermesis Syndrome(which im not convinced i have my symptoms seem more consinstent with some form of chilli related food poisoning.), but id love to hear your thoughts on the subject.
@@cade4026 yeah i know its a real possibility, but im just waitng for more evidence ig. ive already started decreasing my usage so im really not too worried
Stay away from edibles and you will be fine
I’m a week free so far, had to stop for a drug test. Worst part is that i would see my boys smoke every day without me. I had a really bad withdrawal for the first 2 days, but after that it was coming down.
Cewpins i'm fiending for a new video
Good points made!
Currently unemployed and figured out to only smoke five days a week; tuesday thursday are off days. I only smoke a bowl a night and on weekends, what can I say, it can add up. But five days a week maintains a nice routine and balance of the feel good.
I appreciate your honesty. Weed is the least harmful and least addictive recreational drug. If you smoke everyday you don't just develope a tolerance but also a dependence and if you stop cold turkey withdrawal symptoms will occur. As is does tobacco, caffeine and alcohol.
DUDE!!! me and my homie STAY hitting dabs while watching your videos
:)
the older I have gotten the easier it is to quit cold
turkey. I do it for tolerance and personal goals. But don't do it often to be honest
ive done it multiple times because i was scared i was gonna get drug tested and all i really did was just stop litterally cuz i dont think i have the "addiction gene" but idk the only thing thats different when i do stop is that my first 5 days off i litterally have the best slump of my life everytime i go to bed
You must not be a huge consumer. Most people who are heavy users have trouble sleeping and eating when they stop.
It’s not too hard to quit if you have a good reason to e.g. getting drug tested. When no outside factor is motivating you to quit, that’s when it can become difficult psychologically.
@@Keemo747 main reason seems to be all day abuse and people realizing how much money they waste imo. Otherwise what is a good reason? Lmao smoke up
@@lukehyre1383 when i do smoke its usually dabs and i do eddibles and syrups
I quit a little over a month because my mom found my stuff and I just stopped I had been smoking for like 3 months 1-2 times a day and when she found my stuff I just quit. It really wasn’t that hard at all the only times it was hard was the first week after that I didn’t really feel like smoking anymore and today I’m a month and 10 days clean
Still sober?
I just quit 21 days ago cold turkey from smoking 5gs a day, was throwing up couldn’t sleep, eat anything but now I feel better than ever
On day 5…I’m taking a personal tolerance break until I pass a personal piss test. Can’t keep smoking 3-4 bowls of dispensary buds for 45 mins of a high 😂 once it’s out my system I’m gonna smoke only at night 💀
I’m in about the same boat 😅
That spaceship bit at the end fuckin got me lmao
I went cold turkey when smoking 8th+ a day in order to get listed for a heart transplant, had zero “withdrawal” symptoms besides vivid dreams for 6 months or so. Did take almost 5 months to pass a piss test though.
IMHO, moderation or cutting back will not work: weed is not a benzo, it’s entirely mental you gotta make the decision.
I'm 43 and have quit cold turkey dozens of times. I would drink for a couple days and be fine.
I’ve been clean for over a year bc I got in trouble but I’ll able to do it again June 30th!
Thanks for the tolerance break videos their very helpful keep them coming 🔥
Thank you for your insights! This Video dropped at the exact right time! 😅
This is timely. I am going on holidays vacation to Texas from a legal state. For the first time in my life because of those new hemp law changes delta 9 real thc edibles are legally sold in local dispensaries all across Texas. In order to respect these new awesome changes and lower risk to myself and be a mature adult I will abide by the laws and obey because I can homegrow in my own state and where I am traveling to has options to enjoy legal thc. Because of this I am going to take a t break when I run out of bud tonight or tomorrow and cold turkey it a few days before the trip so I am not miserable and traveling but ill tank a few days of feeling awful and then have a great sober, legal, and enjoyable trip down South like when I was a kid 2 decades ago :)
Bruh tell me why I'm in the same situation right now. Texas fucking sucks. Their weed laws compared to cali is mad annoying. I'm here for like two weeks but luckily my girl has a friend who moved out here years ago and plugs. So tomorrow ima hit that up and try to get some decent bud while I'm here lol.
@@thefear420 Word be safe man it's no joke down there with penalties and shit so stay lowkey no stupid shit like bluntrides in TX. I'm coming from near DC where weed and dmt/shrooms/acid is all legally sold in dispos so I feel you it's why I left Texas' authoritarian shithole
@@lizardjoel whoa what in dc they have psychedelics sold? Never knew, cool 😎. I'll be safe i don't smoke in cars or anything flashy in cali anyway. Always discreet. Anyway good luck on the temporary break👌 you got this
If I had to quit smoking weed, I’d be constantly microdosing shrooms
As someone who quit cold turkey recently, I replaced my time by working more (wfh), withdrawal/temptation sucks, but threw out my piece so that aint happening. I'm sure eventually it'll pass.
I am not condoning any drugs or glorifying them but every time I need a break from weed and am having a hard time I take acid or mushrooms for 2-3 days straight to skip withdraws and went in with the intention of quitting weed. It’s kinda worked for me I stay off it for 1-2 months which is good enough for me and go right back
I have been smoking 4 grams a day for 14 years and I never felt addicted to cannabis mentally or physically and to be honest science has proven that cannabis isn't even physically addicting at all, literally the only way to get addicted to cannabis is to be weak minded enough and weak willed enough to trick your mind into thinking you actually need it to begin with. And I know I'm not addicted because as I said I have been smoking 4 grams a day for 14 years and about 10 year into it I had to move to another state and I had no connections for 6 months. And I didn't crave it, I didn't feel any withdrawals, and to be quite frank I didn't need it at all to the point where I wasn't even thinking about it but once I got new friends and they offered me a hit I got back into it that way and that is about it.
I honestly think cold turkey is the best approach. I’ve quit multiple times and yeah the first few days sucks but if you are quitting you are doing it for a reason. Weed stays in your system for a long time so if you are starting a new job and have a drug test in two-three weeks you pretty much have to quit. Workout as much as possible, drink as much water as possible, and sweat as much as possible. The people who are the most unhappy with quitting do nothing with their time. They now just have an extra 3-4 hours in their day and they realize how little they did other than work and smoke.
Don't quit man, you're a much better weed-tuber with your lit session every night - on twitch! Everyone needs to come sesh with cewpins on twitch and don't forget to link your Prime!!
^
You nailed it. I've found that replacing the smoke breaks with some other pleasant activity really helps.
not having tolerance sucks though. when I don't have a tolerance I get super anxious, paranoid edgy every time and it's no fun. either all in or all out for me lol.
I found a new method to get higher with dabs/dry herb vapes. I know it sounds dumb, but you take a large hit so your lungs are full then exhale a little bit of vapor, then inhale fully, exhale a little bit more, inhale fully, exhale more, etc. until vapor is gone. I can assure you is isn’t just oxygen deprivation because each inhale you are getting more and more and oxygen, plus the it actually gets me higher not just that pseudo asphyxiation feeling. Try it, I promise you it works. I wouldn’t do it with smoke tho, just dabs or dry herb vapes
I knew a guy who thought this about cigarettes. He's still smoking.
Addiction is addiction is addiction, you wanna quit: go cold turkey.
Cold turkey is the only way
Really needed this video, getting my CDL and I got to quit soon sadly.
I quit all the time. I don't get withdrawals. I usually smoke a couple of months and then quit for a couple of months. Depending on how life is going.
I used to smoke every day. finished my last pod and quit abruptly for 21 days. Rn I’m about 2/3 of the way done. Yeah the first few days I craved it but I didn’t let the cravings control me and I persisted through. 6 days left in my break.
What helps is if you use vapor methods of smoking, try getting weaker concentrations before quitting.
I've quit a few times for different reasons and usually I'll get my last batch and have it sitting where I can see how low its getting. I instinctively see how much is left and start conserving it without thinking too much about it. I'll take smaller hits less frequently until theres none left and then after that I dont buy more and I make sure my bong is clean before I stop so I don't get the urge to buy more from cleaning my bong.
I will say tho that those desperation hits where you scrape up every molecule you can for that one last high are some of the worst highs ever. Just clean the grinder out and throw away any disposable containers at that point.
This is what I been doing. I stopped cold turkey that didn’t last long. So I did this and now I been sober for a few days. CBD helps greatly to reduce the withdrawal symptoms for me. I just want vivid dreams back.
@kalib Stanton that’s what I want back as well. I miss taking two drops of delta 8 and being stoned for the whole day. I remember taking 10 drops and I didn’t feel shit. That’s when I stopped cold turkey.
Love the content bro keep it coming !
I still smoke the beautiful herb but recently stopped cigarettes by smoking cbd bud to just still have the motion of smoking as the nicotine wasn’t an issue it was the action of smoking and the routine of waking up having a cig n a coffee n what not
I’ve never experienced withdrawals. Every time I visit my parents in TX for several days, I don’t experience withdrawals. I usually smoke about 2-3 j’s a day.
I hate to bring up alcohol but I think it's similar. It's much easier to slow your weed intake down than cold turkey.
Dude, I really only have access to 510 stuff. If you could do a really comprehensive video on how to, and which brands of "battery" are good, I would love that. If you're not that experienced at 510, maybe you could interview someone who has been at it for years, and maybe knows how to repair, things to look out for, that would truly make my week.
BTW, if you only have access to 510 -- 510 can BANG and it's super simple, yet leaves me with a lot of questions
I basically quit 2 times a week because I don't smoke on days I have to go to work or the night before I have to go to work
Recently to quit I switched from d9 to d8 to hhc, and then quit the hhc cold turkey the only "withdrawls" I had were some wild ass dreams.
When I quit d9 cold turkey many years ago I got dissociated for almost 5 months after I stopped.
Where you at cewpins?
Erybody link back on Feb 12th an we’ll see how much we was able to cut back
damn just got off and the first thing i see is a notification love it
Hell yeah!
I’d probably have to be constantly be busy or I’d get bored and smoke
Yo I got a question, I know you don't like tobacco so what about a clean glass blunt? Probably not because same point of if you're gonna hit weed, hit green and in a glass blunt you're almost always hitting black. I just wanted to know.
I have to ask, I"ve been clean for a little over a decade. I'm about to try these D9 gummies and cut these 15mg into 1/4 to start, maybe even 1/8 due to being gun-shy. The reason I quit back then was because in the 80's and 90's I smoked every single day for 15yrs (because I was stupid and had no clue about anything) and life forced me to quit for a few years. That lead me to my last few times and they were nightmarish. Horrible anxiety attacks and thought I was having a heart attack lol. I fucked up and ate a whole cookie the last time and I had to walk around in the snow to calm down lol. That was a decade back. But I'm looking to get back in slowly and thought gummies would be good. What are your opinions on someone wanting to get back in after being out for so long after a horrible last few experiences? PS, not looking to get wasted either, I'm just looking for a positive mood change on a weekend at home. To be chill and relaxed. Kids are grown and gone and I'm tired of worrying about everything lol.
I actually haven't thought about this
If I had to quit smoking I would just never clean my pieces, start smoking atleast one blunt per sesh, and snap every single bowl. After a few days I would be so disgusted by the look of my pieces and the thought of smoking another blunt that it would be super easy to quit!
I stopped feeling weed withdrawals after I got addicted to blow and alcohol at the same time. Not to mention the amount of mirror shoes I sold near the catholic schools.
Cewpins where are you it’s been 12 days I miss you
i would consider my self a heavy smoker, and personally i been able to quit several times for the time that i thoght it was necesary and my method was just to stop... i been able to stop several times that i dont really feel a "withdraw" maybe a bad mood some times but nothing i cannot control, also that i enjoy being sober as much as i like being high
i would say the key its just be disiplined...
The biggest withdrawal is boredom. I would only quit if it was for a job I wouldn’t even second think to turn down. I like the industry and cannabis so I don’t think it’ll be a problem but imagine being a stoner and having to quit cold turkey for something like that😮💨
I need more money so I’m shooting for an airline job from cannabis cultivation LOL. I’m still wanting to keep my home grow going even when I’m at the airline
exercising is a good way to quit too, it’ll help get the thc outta your system and it’s good for you anyways.
Been smoking for 17 years hard for long periods, none for some periods...only time I had trouble quitting was when I was teenager...over than that I'll just wake up one day and won't smoke for a few months then I'll wake up one day and be like yeah I'm getting baked...no withdrawals from weed...for me atleast
This video gives me the same energy as those memes of people reacting to car crashes and saying how they would have survived lol.
love ya cewpins
I was smoking a lot every night to go to sleep and even during school then I got caught acted like it was my first and only time and kept getting high decided to cold turkey for me it just got boring so I quit and had no withdrawals and when I was smoking I was smoking so much I would smoke like 7 grams and not get high not even the slightest it got boring and now I’m 19 days clean and I’m feelings better than ever!
I use to smoke joint after joint but since florida's medical program has gotten better i dont smoke as much anymore. 6 bong rips in like 2 hours window and im good for bed. much less compared to 3-4 joints a night lol
Thanks for this. I’m turning 35 in January and just realized thc makes eating healthy nearly impossible for me and that seems like something I should fix if I don’t want to die young. But it’s winter in Chicago and depressing as shit. Maybe I’ll just switch to 5mg edibles and I have an entire oz of cbd hemp. Would that help?
If you can control the muscles in your hands to not touch a hot stove,because you know you'll get burnt,then it's as simple as controlling what you eat, because you know you die of heart disease
Cbd herb buds would definitely help
@@michaeldavid5770 unfortunately that has never worked for me
if you've used banger inserts (sapphire ruby etc.) what's your opinion of them?
My mom allows me to smoke on the weekends only after smoking every day in summer I get high asf on the weekends it's dope
well i normally breakl a bong every 2 weeks or so so me quitting would be dropping my bong and not being able to afford a new one
I prefer to weigh off over a week or two but I have stopped cold turkey a few times for programs that required me to stop mainly I was just annoyed at the world and would get hot and cold flashes.
Personally don't have time for hours long streams at 9pm and 30-60 second clips don't feel worth it, real shame I hope this content comes back
Love u man
I usually switch to only cbd for about a week, and then after that week i stop altogether. I've done it multiple times due to drug testing when i switch jobs
I quit to get a job and ended up not smoking for almost a couple years. With the better part of the decade spent smoking daily. It does suck for a bit but I could comfortably hang out with people smoking in a couple months. I mean I never stopped hanging out with people that smoke I just passed. Kinda Tommy Chong’d quitting.
See bruh I needed this video cuz I have to quit for court
I took a break for a year, all I did was made conversation by saying I was giving up ouid, my cousin laughed and it must have hyped up my ego so I stopped buying and vaped for afew months untilI was too lazy to buy juice, I only came back because I missed it and had money I didn't really need
i can attest that its easier to not smoke when you usually only smoke
OJ would be proud of that title
Actually there are three ways, eating it, smoking it, and sepository
lovin these uploads
Glad you like them!
Goin thru hella withdrawals rn, i went from smoking a ounce every 2 weeks to nothing bc i lost my job. I done cleaned my pieces of resin and reclaim theyre fuckin spotless now lmao. Cant wait till i start working again
Currently I quit cold turkey for a job it for rough but I thought it would be more difficult than it was I'm at 8 ½ weeks now once I pass my UA I'm going back but have already decided not to use as much as before and Im only going to consume on the weekends between 6pm and 9pm (thanks to your advice)
When quitting cold turkey my body couldn't properly regulate its temperature. I was cold all the time, to the point of shivering even. It was horrible.
Hey Crew, I’ve been dealing with a condition that MJ has caused me, making me vomit uncontrollably and not be able to eat for days. Idk if you have any experience with this but i think its CHS. Any words of advice? and will I have yo stop smoking forever?
I just walked away like a mic drop . There was no pressure to do it, just lost interest .
