A mature stoner knows to respect others life choices. Judging people based on their personal decision not to smoke only reinforces your close mindedness. If i was smoking with you, id ask for my blunt back cause I know id be the one supplying. Get with it boyyyy. Shout out to Erik Argoni for doing him.
After I saw my brother cooking his brain with no end in the horizon, I went ahead and Googled this site I had been recommended “Nemery Thentel’s Weed Liberator”. Reading every single word, I got a clear understanding and noticed that I was addicted as well, being worried about myself I followed his suggestions and am finally free after a few short weeks. I hope I can convince my brother to do it as well.
This man is EXTREMELY INTELLELIGENT. Very few are helpful like this seb guy. Take advantage while he is still active!!!! Wake up people who want off pot! This is your free ticket
This video has made me confident to quit smoking weed. Literally every statement that you mentioned was comparable to my life style at the moment. I kept denying myself that weed was the problem. I also kept denying my parents were right about my behaviour, my view of life, the way I think of school and goals in life. I have been smoking 5 years now on a daily basis, and the first 3-3,5 years I dind't realy had a problem combining smoking weed and still had fun at work, doing good at school etc.. I still finished my school and I'm studying at the moment, but it could have gone so much easier without smoking weed after all :) Thank you! Bye Bye Mary Jane :)
Hey man, I dind't read your comment untill today.. Sorry about that. I think we had the same problem. Everything is fine with me. Quitting weed was the most important decision that I ever made, seriously, I was growing away from the reality, absolutely had no intrests besides weed and food and indeed saw how everybody was living there lives and became actual adults. Now things are very good for me. I am clean but must admit that I have smoked a couple of times this summer at festivals but DID NOT continue the day after. Last joint was the first day of Tomorrowland here in Belgium. It's a whole new life, all those years of smoking was a big fucking waste of time! No more lies, no more drugged out eyes, I can properly say a sentence without stuttering haha. And how are you doing? Greetz from Belgium.
These video's really helped me, I've been clean for over 10 months now and have no desire what so ever. I'm really glad I quit, life is so much better without :)
I felt the same way 10 years ago when I got off weed. I remember thinking how I would never smoke again and being so happy to be free. I lasted about 5 years and then started smoking weed again. I wish I could stop and have that same feeling of "knowing" I wasn't going to smoke again. My feeling now is that I have to stop weed but I don't want to.
Started watching these thinking it was gonna be basic info and not really motivate me to quit. But your vids are the first I’ve came across to actually give the no sugar coat facts that actually hit my soul deeply. Thank you. You’re doing the lords work helping free us of our bondage to pleasure
Just wanted to say thanks so much for these inspiring bits of info my man, I havent smoked weed now for over a week after smoking nearly everyday for the past 4 or so years of my life. I truly believe the 'why' is the most important aspect of accomplishing anything and these 60 reasons really boosted my motivation to kick this habit of mine and becoming the best version of myself. appreciate you!
Seb Grant thankyou for your videos, i have smoked weed for more than 15 yrs and yes its messed my life up, i am now 6 days without a smoke, doesnt sound that impressive but its a big deal for me. The biggest thing that helped me stop was by admitting to my mum for the first time i have a problem but also your vids have been an amzing tool for helping me. I wrote out the 60 resons and carry them in my pocket and when i want to score i read it and i dont buy any. many many thanks for producing these vids.
I have to say watching these guides seb has really broadened my knowledge, i know alot of people are not going to agree with you or with me on certain points But i think you nailed everything. I've watched all your videos now and am proud to say i will be passing the links on to fellow friends who are seeking help just like i was. Since i stoped smoking all i want to do is help people because the easiest way to communicate with somone is if you have been down the same path as them. Im not saying im gonna preach and force people to quit, its your own choice at the end of the day. All i can say is quiting weed was probly the best choice i ever did with my life, now im going to make it a goal to help others just like you. thanks seb your a legend.
Where were you at when you commented this vs now? Very interested ,because I have quit now and am looking to continue being sober unless I'm with friends.
He's right guys... weed numbs your emotions quite drastically. I used to smoke a lot a year ago and I remember never feeling truly sad or excited about anything. I would just feel like a relaxed half-awake happyness when I was high and when I wasn't I just felt impartial about most things and would often think of the next time I'm gonna get high. I'm not saying it had some kind of profound negative effect on me, the best I can describe it is being half awake at most times. If that is your thing then go ahead to be honest.. smoke all the weed you want. But honestly, if you either want a career that requires a lot of work and concentration or if you want to find some sort of passion in life I wouldn't recommend it. Anyone that tells you they are a resident med student and they hit up the bong every day after working in the ER are full of shit lol. It's not possible... weed may not be a dangerous drug, but it does have residual effects which impair your cognition and they last for months after you quit. Weed is good for a care-free lifestyle but not one that requires too much concentration or emotional depth in my opinion.
This video series has been hugely helpful. 90 days ago I got sober from alcohol, but I have still not been taking care of my main problem that has been going on even longer than my love for drinking - smoking weed. I can't wait to see myself change into a more passionate and confident person.
Weed is great I love weed so much. Thats's why I can't smoke it. I just want to smoke it all day and all night. I can't even go to a movie, I have to sneak off half way through and smoke a quick hit. It controlled my life. I don't miss it.
Today is day 4 for me and I had some strong cravings. I didn't take any actions to score, but instead found this video. It's amazing how many of these things I wasn't aware of but then was like "wow, that's happened to me". Thanks for this video, I'm going strong and I'm very happy I saw this.
Where were you at when you commented this vs now? Very interested ,because I have quit now and am looking to continue being sober unless I'm with friends.
I have been a daily smoker of marijuana for over 35 years. today is day one!!! quitting!!! thank you for this video. I have no doubt this will be a helpful tool for me as i make this positive change and finally get some enjoyment out of life. rather than eating my way thru it. thank you!
I've quit before and it's like the movie limitless...I used to feel like I Took NZT when I was sober. everything was in HD and smelt better. I think weed should be used 1nce a week or for special occasions. Too much of a good thing is always bad
Do you think a weed addict could maintain a healthy relationship with weed? I think I may be dependent on it and I have been going to a psychiatrist for it and I have finally quit now for over a week. The urges are strong and the withdraws aren't that fun.
@@shaiithenaai Man crazy reading myself 5 years ago. I'm currently on day one of quitting. This reminded me of what's on the other side of I can hold out
Very open minded ! realy liked your video and found it very helpful. Additionally i like the fact that u used to be a stoner your self and that you are not completely against it. i could associate more than half of the reasons to quit with my current every day life. I watched this video because i am on the proccess of quiting and i could surely say that this video gave me a massive boost to achive my goal. Many thanks and respect !
Starting today. Watched this video a few years ago but I wasn’t in a place in life to quit it yet. I’ll always come back to this one, just the best reference for quitting and it’s put in plain language. Thank you seb for helping us stoners
Thank You Brother - I found this video because I started noticing that weed wasn't for me anymore. Like most people, I did benefit a lot from it when I first started, in terms of spiritual, psychological & emotional realizations. But now that I am healthier than ever AND working towards being healthier always, weed has been negatively impacting me, because of its level of toxicity ( which for me is more obvious, now that I am generally purer than Ive been before ). So thank you for the video - I do agree with pretty much all that you've said ( including the fact that not everyone will understand or agree with most of it ). Blessings
Daily user for 10 years since I was 20, my higher self had been telling me to quit since the 5th year. I knew it was over on my 30th birthday when I didn't even want to smoke, couldn't be bothered wasting my time anymore, definitely wanting more from life 💯💯
I'm so done with weed, it's been holding me back for way too long, in a couple days I start school in graphic design, I know the only way to fully succeed there is I Gotto kick this addiction, dude weed has taken over and honestly these 2 vids totally hit home, I'm not who I should be, I've been saying these things too myself for so long but now I think I truly realise that the only way out of whoever I am right now is to quit this shit, I used to draw so much, my creativity has pretty much gone downhill ever since I smoke up. So fuck all that, from now on I wanna see the other side of me, the side that maybe isn't so socially anxious, lazy, faded, little akward, scared of stupid shit normal people see as normal things that you shouldn't stress about & being mentally locked up, thinking about lighting up all the time, it's constantly on my fucking mind man. I don't know who I am today, but If I do manage to go through the next few months of school, work and all without smoking, I'll comment on this comment with the changes, future me you better have done it right.
moms spaghetti hey bro how's it going? Do you feel that your life is getting better? I really want to quit smoking weed and i think that now it's the time to do it :D
This video helped so much ! I've stopped smoking for a week now and I been feeling heavy anxiety sometimes,(hopefully it'll go away sometime soon.) but my energy is better than ever ! I wake up every day now around 7:30 a.m. thankful for a day of being sober. I'm only 18 yrs old but I've been on and off for 5 years and this video was a huge wake up call for me. I feel more motivated and loving the meaning each day about my life.
Well done keep going. You've passed the hard stage. You'll have random dream once or twice over the next 2 weeks, find things to do that me you happy, like watching old movies, shopping for t shirts, cooking, and going out more. You'll feel great.
What the fuck does weed have to do with waking up early? The problem is you kid, not weed. I get up early and i smoke pot all day, and go to school. Working my way to a bachelors and soon to a masters.
I m on my second days to don't smoke and I almost watch your many stuff it's give me a lots of help and i believe I will never touch again I m from Pakistan and I start smoking Blake hash from very young age like in 2005 and when I moved to Austrlia in 2011 to get my law degree but unfortunately I waste my time on smoking weed all that time but now hopefully I can get my degree in two years and go back clean to my country , I want to do your course how can I do that plz give me some information .
This is my second time watching reasons to quit videos. im using them to do some cognitive behavioral therapy for myself. I cant thank you enough Seb, God bless you and give you the best of this life and the next for the good ur doing. I can definitely tell you this isnt the last time i watch your vides + will be sharing them w// friends who are stuck in the same rut. thanks again
everything you say is valid. your a very smart person. im 22 years old and ive been smoking daily for little over 5 years. Your list of 60 reason are for people like me, daily smokers. people who have developed a dependence. honestly i have stopped smoking for only 2 days now so i stumbled upon ur video to gain motivation for my decision to quit. so many of your point pertained to me it was kind of an eye opener, not that i wasnt aware of some of the negatives marijuana was giving me. but to have it all laid out the way you did and explained greatly. so i just want to say thank you. I hope i begin to dream more often and i will keep a journal for my dreams. i noticed you said youve began to meditate. ive recently became interested in meditation, if you could make a video on meditation id deff give it a thumbs up. thanks mate
Thank you for this video. I quit cold turkey 5 days ago after being a daily smoker (2-3 times a day) for 6 months. not NEARLY as long as some people but i am still feeling some of the withdrawal effects. I didn't originally intend to quit and was just stopping for a few days to clear my head, and when i started to feel withdrawals i thought i would wait 2 weeks, and now after seeing this video i intend to quit fully (MAYBE smoking on special occasions but not in a routine). This list of reasons has really encouraged me to pursue quitting so thank you!
This was a great video for a stoner like myself who been trying to quit smoking for years now. I really think this audio and visual of things that could help me become a better person will help. I've been smoking for 20 years straight and the longest break I quit was for 1 month in those years. I felt great too but I went right back and been stuck every since. Tomorrow is the day I QUIT SMOKING and become THE REAL ME!
This is truly the best vid on this topic ever and I've watched and read them all. Every single reason applied to me. It's been 4 days now weed and cigarette alcohol and coffee free so I'm making big changes.... Just wanted to share the fact that my life is already dramatically improving in a lot of ways mentioned in this vid and I want to thank you so much for posting this i never thought I'd say this but I will ever pick up the habit again now after you've confirmed all of this that I was already aware of but just to stoned and careless to realize. Thank you again and I want to tell someone who is quiting that u need short achievable goals , stay busy
You are awesome mate, omg I relate to the entire list. And this video found me at a crucial juncture in quitting ! I can't thank you enough for posting this and it's had a profound impact on my journey , bless you.
I,ve been smoking for 10 years and I had every single thing on the list, some one them in a major way, that was the best thing I could have ever possibly watched. You put it in the exact way I needed to hear it. I'm bunnin the last of my bud tonight and that is the end of it! Honestly thankyou so much, your a good bro, you've honestly just made me a new man.
Day 7. Last night I was searching everywhere for a long lost bud. Cant sleep. CBD not seeing to do much. Thank you brother for this video. Amazing awareness on the positives with quitting weed
Thank you, I have lost my girlfriend, I have lost a good job, I was stressed all the time, THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO, I AM WATCHING THIS VIDEO BECAUSE ON MY DAY 5 ;-) I think I have smoked it for too long. And I think it caused me so many problems in my life.lost university, went in debts, emigrated, was doing chappy jobs, stopped creating music, NO TO TABACCO, NO TO ALCOHOL, NO TO WEED, NO TO CAFFEINE ;-) yes to windsurfing board and 8 square meters sail running the water 50-90 kilometers an hour ;-) 1000 dislikes are by Stones who Can't accept that when you quit weed life becomes better for those who hav made their decision
Not a pot head but many of the things you've mentioned I recognise from other addictions including my own computer game addiction. I think you've nailed it completely mate. Well done! I salute you!
N30N I know - just like I couldn't resist a computergame and I know that if I should start playing again for some reason, then I wouldn't be able to control how long time. Maybe it would be one hour, maybe it'll be 24 hours - I don't know, but that's how addiction works - it's a scary disease. I really wish you all the best and I'll keep you in my thoughts :)
thanks very much for this. it means a lot that you'd take the time to go through this. i needed to hear it. quitting weed is one of the hardest things i've ever done. it's so scary. especially with depression and anxiety lurking in the background. thanks again.
13 years smoked the green everyday. Smoked all variation of strains available in amsterdam coffee shops, grew it smoked and sold it for a few years. Brain feels cloudy, confidence gone shambles, eat like a pig but cannot put on weight. personality dead, look miserable even though im now. have addictive personality which doesn't help. Got a crap grade in degree cos smoked all the way through. brain does not stay sharp consistently. Managed to stop once for 30 days with the help of this video then had one like a idiot a few months ago and it bacame an everyday thing again. Today been sober for 3 days. First night managed to fall asleep at 6am. yesterday slept like a baby at 9pm. today went bed 9pm but am still awake at 2am. previously watching this video every night in bed motivated me to keep away from a joint and look forward to a brighter future. This guy is spot on. Thought of having a joint earlier which is what i did after work everyday and did all day long on weekdays but then i thought of how i usually regret after having it and went bed after dinner. And it would break the 3 day sober then have to start from day one again. Decided to write this comment to give credit to this guy as nothing else ever made me be sober a single day previously. Its so important to me now because I've made it to management at work while smoking every evening. if i continue sober then id be able to hold more thoughts in my head and be sharper so i can move further upwards in my career without a sluggish progress. To those who say weed is not addictive - i said the same when i started it in high school. Cigarette smokers say they won't get addicted when they first start but the majority of them do. those that dont are either too broke to get addicted or have incredible will power. Those that enjoy it are happy with their life and ignorant to the fact that they are detierating. Having money all the time like snoop dogg makes buying weed as casual as doing weekly groceries. The anxiety is a killer to deal with but after a few days you begin to not give a shit and the new you feels pretty cool. Happy quitting!
BTW i got all A grades in my A levels after 3 years everyday smoking and A's and B's at schools after having smoked 1 year everyday. Try smoking weed for 5 -10 years everyday and see if you can still get top grades. Good luck!
I appreciate this channel bro. I love smoking weed but I hate that it makes me too lazy to develop my weaknesses. One good joint at the end of the day seems to be about right
+Maxemilio Speight Dude , let me tell you as a 10 years experienced pot head lol , weed is not gonna hurt you my friend , it showed me the beautiful side of life and helped me to rise again , my life use to be a mess , just be careful about what you are smoking and who you are smoking with , pick the best strains , watch movies and play games , smoke weee 24 7 bro . Dont quite it .
+Maxemilio Speight Hey, I smoked like you for a long time. Stop it for once. There is no gradual stopping. Stop it, and fill your day's schedule with so many things that you do not have any time for weed. It will destroy your life in the long run.
Thank you for this video. I quit smoking weed in November 2013 after watching this video. I just thought I'd come back to give you my love and appreciation for guiding through what was a very troubling time in my life. I feel great now. And I'm proud of myself and my achievement. I say to all those who want to quit YES YOU CAN. I was an everyday smoker for ten years since I was 17, and it was like Russian roulette, after smoking, either happiness or sadness. The sadness became unbearable and wasn't worth it. This video really helped me to give up for good. I will never smoke again because all I remember are the bad times. It's not fun or cool to be addicted to weed. It's very stressful an expensive on your pockets and your life. Give up today and embrace the joy that will come tomorrow. Don't let yourself down you can do it.
I've never smoked weed but this is a real eye opener. I like many others don't think it's harmful, but it seems to kill motivation and energy to do shit. Great video!
I quit and started daily meditation practice, I fully relate to all these reasons and my life has gone from depression to bliss :) + on top of that im saving a whopping $500 a month!
This is a one-of-a-kind tools and i can relate to 99%. Your examples hit me in the stomach and i got a really well placed kick in the groin. Thx for this wakeup-call and i will start my mission within hours!Thx buddy and all the best....
im a stoner and on days i go clean i noticed some positive effects, and you just named every change i felt from my own experience. so listening to a video bullet pointing every positive effect i've felt and noticed entirely on my own is quite eye opening, and i know now that these changes are very real.
Hey Seb, thanks for the great video. I have come to realize that smoking weed all day every day has affected my life a lot. every time i have a blaze i feel better about life and less stressed but then when i sober up and run out i get very shitty and my emotions run wild I also over think everything and get paranoid. all i think about is when and where ill be picking up my next lot of buds. I was really pissed off before cause i had none and had no way to get it, so in staid of sitting here angry I decided to search for help on you-tube to fix the problem properly and not just put a plaster on it by buying more weed tomorrow. i haven't smoked any weed in the last 24 hours and actually noticed i was twice as talkative and didn't wake up feeling like shit for once. I feel good about giving up, i should of done it along time ago. Another point to give up is weed can cause heart palpitation/skip beats, alot of times after having a big blaze my heart would skip a beat ever 20 seconds or so and scare the shit outa me. yet it doesnt happen when sober. thanks and subscribed.. p.s im looking forward to boning alot more woman haha
Seb, awesome article. I feel like shit on quitting day 4, i'm on vacation and have a whole ounce that I haven't touched since I decided to quit. i have been smoking weed everyday for 13 years. Man i'm trying to figure out how to get the heavy chested short of breathe feeling and anger and sadness and every god-damned emotion that slams into my soul every other second under control. I lost my mom 8 years ago at 29 and that was really when it got to be a medicine for my pain. Problem is I have someone who gives it to me basically free (hydro). Nothing really going wrong in my life, got a great wife, awesome kids, a nice house, nice cars, my own successful business and MJ hasn't destroyed any of this. I did just go through the worst Asthmatic Bronchitis of my life. Doc said quit smoking and I quit cigs two months ago and weened down on the weed a month ago, cold turkey 4 days ago. It's been so long I'm not sure I remember who I was without weed, i've always been a super motivated person, even on weed. I convinced myself along time ago, that if I want to smoke weed I have to maintain the other things or no more pot. So I'd get stoned an force myself to get up and go to work, coach baseball, help people with their bullshit, run a business I even rescued a guy from 4 thugs while I was high as hell. But I just can't live this way anymore. Now or 4 days ago if smoke I get panic attacks and guilt and can't breathe so it's doesn't relieve anything for me anymore. I just want to get to the new me, maybe i'm expecting too much on day 4 but I'm just having every withdrawal symptom and it sucks, teary eyes while I type. I hate it when I read forums where asshole say we're weak, it's natural, we're full of shit. I feel so bad for them if they wind up here where I am feeling like hell, with no real idea of how this gets better. I'm assuming alot of them can get high and be fine. I can't anymore and appreciate the insight into this process of recovery. Thanks man!
thanks man im on day 10 now. and feel grood, not great but good. day 4 was a monster! So many positive things are happening, some frustrating shit too. but god damn i'm accomplishing more in the last 5 days than I thought I could!
Don Herr Don't go back. I went back and am quitting again because life is so much better NOT smoking pot. I was unstoppable...and that's were I want to stay :)
Stop counting the days, and start counting the things you've gained and how much shit you're getting done now. and money you're saving and brain power and..the list goes on and on. 1 day sober here lol, feeling good already, had a rough sleep last night though. But, here I come, back in action!
Been smoking for 14 years, quitted many times but always came back to it! Only for the last year I have been quitting almost each month and re-triggered after a couple weeks! I never thought I would end up quitting cigarettes so easy but stay so badly hooked on the weed!
Wow I just listened to both parts and I have to say that you were spot on about everything you broke down. I have been smoking everyday for 5 years and when you described life on pot as "sleep walking", I realized that if I quit and get in touch with my spiritual side, I still have so much time to make up leading in the right direction for my life.
Thank god for this video, nothing inspires me to quit more, still in the process, most of these relate to me in a big way been smoking daily for around 9 years maybe 8
I am marijuana user, due to sleeping problems, I am orientated to science, I test and examin everything, so I did a little test on myself, being high constantly for 3 months. I would not recommend long term use to anyone, I am very self controlled person, and I am able to quit from anything, including this (I did). After I stopped 3 month session, I did feel some adverse effects, and it might be hard for other people to quit afterwards, it would be much easier to get more weed and smoke it. Most of things in this video are right except for some personality things, and athlete thing you said (I am very fit, super fast, physically very healthy). After you quit from long term use, you actually get sort of caffeine period for like 3 weeks. But I noticed, even after quitting, my sleeping problems were still faded, and I could still sleep better, record was for whole month after last use. I have very heavy insomnia, no pills help, so that might be considerable thing about weed.
I wish this weed never had entered my life, i had really god potential in school, but wasted my time away with weed and fun, now i can't study psychology is i wanted to because i have average grades - its my own fault - i decided to smoke and game and party throughout high school, while others worked hard on their homework - damn this weed had also made my energy less almost everything what Seb Grant tells is like spot on. I hope this will be a eye opener, i really want to quit but i have such diffityculty saying no when its present. I hope i will quit soon. Actually I'm so addicted that I'm even smoking now, with the illusion that it will help calming me down or be more creative playing piano.. its just an illusion i see it now. I hope someone can send me a supportive post and encourage me to stop smoking
Thanks! I've been looking for some help with this issue and I'm going to watch all of your other videos because I fall into the creative type category, and, need your help, and I know in my bones that what you say is true!
Thank you, your videos have been amazingly helpful. I've been frustrated lately because of my failed attempts to quit, but I believe watching your videos gave me the necessary motivation and understanding. Hopefully, today is the last time I make the decision to quit.
Thanks so much. I needed this information badly, only wish I could go back and tell my past self to quit. Next step is learning to forgive myself for all the damage done and the missed opportunities. Thanks again Seb
Watching your videos is helping me immensely to stay sober. It seems like all these 60 things you mentioned described me personally. I was just too short-sighted to ever think that smoking 5 bowls a day might be causing all these problems. Thank you so much, Seb.
ur are a really smart guy... i understand everything ur talking about i been a stoner for 7 years i want to quit so i can be really smart again u do a great job explaining this thank u
Holy shit Seb, here I am a week into trying to quit smoking weed and was experiencing some late night cravings. I stumbled across this video because I needed to hear some positive reinforcement. I found this video to be incredibly motivating and actually am now really excited in the decision I've made to quit. You don't even know how much you helped me man, I almost slipped back into my old habits but then I heard this was filled with tons of motivation and encouragement. Thanks alot man!
I have watched your videos and you have made to wake up to the real world and the fact that so much of my time and energy has been wasted on smoking weed. your 60 reasons have made me realise what i am missing out on. i have smoked weed for nearly 7 years none stop. I always thought i was the one that was right and they were wrong but now i realise i was the one that was wrong. people always told me that, smoking is not good for you and you make the wrong decisions when you smoke. all i can say is thank you. please keep on spreading the truth to people who need that extra push
I haven't smoked marijuana for 2 days now and I'm doing it for health reasons. All the things you've listed in this video apply to me and my personal life. I would like my fiance to quit with me and thanks to this video I'm able to show him reasons why he should. Keep doing what you're doing and thank you so much!
Seb Grant, This 2 part video is amazing. Im watching it 2-3 times a day just to make sure i dont forget. or everytime i have Cravings. I want to tell you that i can relate to most of the 60 reasons. And the thing is that i used to smoke weed with my wife but than she quit because she has different experience with weed. I love her very much and i understand why she gets mad at me. So she is working out of town for the summer and i would love to suprise her when she comes back. How awesome would that be! Thanks again Sir. I appreciate your video very much.
Your vids have been a great help and ring very true. I have been smoking since 13 , I am now 33. I had a shit up bringing and it was a way of forgetting . I have always worked , but to be honest.. Just to pay for weed.. I never had a problem and didn't see anything wrong . I never had a joint out of my mouth.. I realise now that I totally have fucked my life up.. My ex ran of with my friend and left me with my son.. I get threw life, I do all the shit.. But the only thing that got me threw the day was the thought of getting high.. I'm in my first week of giving up.. I hope I can do it but I ain't much faith in myself and my own mind seems to be against me..
These videos were excellent, I'm on day 10 now and i feel super strong mostly due to these vids...Sometimes the burst of energy in the mornings is overwhelming, But i've found going for a ride on my motorcycle helps alot calming me down...Thanks again,you've changed my life. All the way from England...Peace :)
I have quit before and really did feel most if not all the positive effects of not smoking. Today is day 1 for me to stop, and this was a great tool to motivate it! thank you. btw, I'm 37 and began smoking at 13. Educated, fairly successful (my friends think i'm a millionaire,lol) and also a father. I do remember the great clean free feeling I had when I took about a year break. This was about 6 years ago. I am going to try one month and really look for the positive results to extend my quitting, hopefully forever. Thank you
@Seb Grant, thanks a lot for all of the very informative videos that you have shared with us. I can definitely say that your videos are the most helpful, and very encouraging. I tested weed nearly 4 years ago, and I smoked excessively for the last 2 years, and my goodness! it gradually destroys your health, your pocket, your appearance, you name it!. Everything in your life will be tasteless and imperfect without it. But the truth is that weed makes it that. And every smoker must come back to reality, which is done through QUITTING!. I quit many times unsuccessfully in the last 4 months, and every try was a test. This time I am quitting, and its my day one, and there is no going back.
Sebastian, despite all the hate comments you get from all those ignorant people who dont get that you dont care if they smoke or not, but that you just try to help people that really want to stop. i wanna say thanks. your videos really helped me! :) i like to see the whole quitting thing from a more objective perspective. - good day :)
I quit smoking 6 months ago and I am just starting to feel emotion again. I have the hardest time dealing with loneliness. I believe loneliness is the emotion which caused me to use marijuana in the first place.
smoked 24-7 for 3 years. this is my 3rd DAY of not smoking. this guy knows what his talking about.
Congratulations !!!
How did your quitting go?
@Doodle Bob yes real curious also!!
And... Have you quit?
Wayda go!
wow man, this guy just listed out everything that im going through. SPOT FUCKING ON.
I'm happy for you.....congrats amigo
***** try harder douche
A mature stoner knows to respect others life choices. Judging people based on their personal decision not to smoke only reinforces your close mindedness. If i was smoking with you, id ask for my blunt back cause I know id be the one supplying. Get with it boyyyy. Shout out to Erik Argoni for doing him.
Yeah i found this disturbingly relevant too...
After I saw my brother cooking his brain with no end in the horizon, I went ahead and Googled this site I had been recommended “Nemery Thentel’s Weed Liberator”. Reading every single word, I got a clear understanding and noticed that I was addicted as well, being worried about myself I followed his suggestions and am finally free after a few short weeks. I hope I can convince my brother to do it as well.
This man is EXTREMELY INTELLELIGENT. Very few are helpful like this seb guy. Take advantage while he is still active!!!! Wake up people who want off pot! This is your free ticket
+Brandon Quenneville I finally realized i needed to wake up today, me and my friend just realized how fast time passes with weed
After you smoke
day 10 was hell for me, i felt like a damn crackhead lol itchy irritated and sweaty/uncomfortable...but i didnt crack..day 11 and going strong :)
How is it going so far?
What about now
This video has made me confident to quit smoking weed. Literally every statement that you mentioned was comparable to my life style at the moment. I kept denying myself that weed was the problem. I also kept denying my parents were right about my behaviour, my view of life, the way I think of school and goals in life. I have been smoking 5 years now on a daily basis, and the first 3-3,5 years I dind't realy had a problem combining smoking weed and still had fun at work, doing good at school etc.. I still finished my school and I'm studying at the moment, but it could have gone so much easier without smoking weed after all :) Thank you! Bye Bye Mary Jane :)
Hey man, I dind't read your comment untill today.. Sorry about that. I think we had the same problem. Everything is fine with me. Quitting weed was the most important decision that I ever made, seriously, I was growing away from the reality, absolutely had no intrests besides weed and food and indeed saw how everybody was living there lives and became actual adults. Now things are very good for me. I am clean but must admit that I have smoked a couple of times this summer at festivals but DID NOT continue the day after. Last joint was the first day of Tomorrowland here in Belgium. It's a whole new life, all those years of smoking was a big fucking waste of time! No more lies, no more drugged out eyes, I can properly say a sentence without stuttering haha. And how are you doing? Greetz from Belgium.
Your so right mate, ive smoked weed for 14 years and just quit 8 weeks ago, and all the reasons were 100% correct.
These video's really helped me, I've been clean for over 10 months now and have no desire what so ever.
I'm really glad I quit, life is so much better without :)
Nice. It should be close to 3 years now that you don't smoke anymore. Did you smoked one in the time or still quitted?
I felt the same way 10 years ago when I got off weed. I remember thinking how I would never smoke again and being so happy to be free. I lasted about 5 years and then started smoking weed again. I wish I could stop and have that same feeling of "knowing" I wasn't going to smoke again. My feeling now is that I have to stop weed but I don't want to.
Started watching these thinking it was gonna be basic info and not really motivate me to quit. But your vids are the first I’ve came across to actually give the no sugar coat facts that actually hit my soul deeply. Thank you. You’re doing the lords work helping free us of our bondage to pleasure
Just wanted to say thanks so much for these inspiring bits of info my man, I havent smoked weed now for over a week after smoking nearly everyday for the past 4 or so years of my life. I truly believe the 'why' is the most important aspect of accomplishing anything and these 60 reasons really boosted my motivation to kick this habit of mine and becoming the best version of myself. appreciate you!
Seb Grant thankyou for your videos, i have smoked weed for more than 15 yrs and yes its messed my life up, i am now 6 days without a smoke, doesnt sound that impressive but its a big deal for me. The biggest thing that helped me stop was by admitting to my mum for the first time i have a problem but also your vids have been an amzing tool for helping me. I wrote out the 60 resons and carry them in my pocket and when i want to score i read it and i dont buy any. many many thanks for producing these vids.
I have to say watching these guides seb has really broadened my knowledge, i know alot of people are not going to agree with you or with me on certain points But i think you nailed everything. I've watched all your videos now and am proud to say i will be passing the links on to fellow friends who are seeking help just like i was. Since i stoped smoking all i want to do is help people because the easiest way to communicate with somone is if you have been down the same path as them. Im not saying im gonna preach and force people to quit, its your own choice at the end of the day. All i can say is quiting weed was probly the best choice i ever did with my life, now im going to make it a goal to help others just like you. thanks seb your a legend.
Where were you at when you commented this vs now? Very interested ,because I have quit now and am looking to continue being sober unless I'm with friends.
He's right guys... weed numbs your emotions quite drastically. I used to smoke a lot a year ago and I remember never feeling truly sad or excited about anything. I would just feel like a relaxed half-awake happyness when I was high and when I wasn't I just felt impartial about most things and would often think of the next time I'm gonna get high. I'm not saying it had some kind of profound negative effect on me, the best I can describe it is being half awake at most times. If that is your thing then go ahead to be honest.. smoke all the weed you want. But honestly, if you either want a career that requires a lot of work and concentration or if you want to find some sort of passion in life I wouldn't recommend it. Anyone that tells you they are a resident med student and they hit up the bong every day after working in the ER are full of shit lol. It's not possible... weed may not be a dangerous drug, but it does have residual effects which impair your cognition and they last for months after you quit. Weed is good for a care-free lifestyle but not one that requires too much concentration or emotional depth in my opinion.
This video series has been hugely helpful. 90 days ago I got sober from alcohol, but I have still not been taking care of my main problem that has been going on even longer than my love for drinking - smoking weed. I can't wait to see myself change into a more passionate and confident person.
Good for you! That is incredible. Stay strong. One day we will look back and think "Glad I stopped that dumb shit"
Weed is great I love weed so much. Thats's why I can't smoke it. I just want to smoke it all day and all night. I can't even go to a movie, I have to sneak off half way through and smoke a quick hit. It controlled my life. I don't miss it.
Are you still sober?
2:09 "Smoking weed makes me happy. That is a confused thought. If you have these confused thoughts it can derail your life dramatically." So true.
MGTOW For Life for sure
Today is day 4 for me and I had some strong cravings. I didn't take any actions to score, but instead found this video. It's amazing how many of these things I wasn't aware of but then was like "wow, that's happened to me". Thanks for this video, I'm going strong and I'm very happy I saw this.
DallasPittsburgh hope you're doing well :)
Where were you at when you commented this vs now? Very interested ,because I have quit now and am looking to continue being sober unless I'm with friends.
The Title should be changed to 60 genuine Reasons to quit weed. hats of to this guy. educating people tottaly just for a good cause
I've been planning on walking away from herb and tomorrow is day one. Super motivating man.. thanks!
I have been a daily smoker of marijuana for over 35 years. today is day one!!! quitting!!! thank you for this video. I have no doubt this will be a helpful tool for me as i make this positive change and finally get some enjoyment out of life. rather than eating my way thru it. thank you!
3 days strong
How did it work out for you?
Lol
No one ever replies to these check-ups. Probably too playing video games puffin the devils lettuce 🤯🤯🤯
I've quit before and it's like the movie limitless...I used to feel like I Took NZT when I was sober. everything was in HD and smelt better. I think weed should be used 1nce a week or for special occasions. Too much of a good thing is always bad
Chad Payne I can relate
Big facts broo
Zhoshimokolokopo - "to much of good stuff is bad stuff"
Do you think a weed addict could maintain a healthy relationship with weed? I think I may be dependent on it and I have been going to a psychiatrist for it and I have finally quit now for over a week. The urges are strong and the withdraws aren't that fun.
@@shaiithenaai Man crazy reading myself 5 years ago. I'm currently on day one of quitting. This reminded me of what's on the other side of I can hold out
Very open minded ! realy liked your video and found it very helpful. Additionally i like the fact that u used to be a stoner your self and that you are not completely against it. i could associate more than half of the reasons to quit with my current every day life. I watched this video because i am on the proccess of quiting and i could surely say that this video gave me a massive boost to achive my goal. Many thanks and respect !
Starting today. Watched this video a few years ago but I wasn’t in a place in life to quit it yet. I’ll always come back to this one, just the best reference for quitting and it’s put in plain language. Thank you seb for helping us stoners
Thank You Brother - I found this video because I started noticing that weed wasn't for me anymore. Like most people, I did benefit a lot from it when I first started, in terms of spiritual, psychological & emotional realizations. But now that I am healthier than ever AND working towards being healthier always, weed has been negatively impacting me, because of its level of toxicity ( which for me is more obvious, now that I am generally purer than Ive been before ). So thank you for the video - I do agree with pretty much all that you've said ( including the fact that not everyone will understand or agree with most of it ). Blessings
so true exactly the same
Daily user for 10 years since I was 20, my higher self had been telling me to quit since the 5th year. I knew it was over on my 30th birthday when I didn't even want to smoke, couldn't be bothered wasting my time anymore, definitely wanting more from life 💯💯
I'm so done with weed, it's been holding me back for way too long, in a couple days I start school in graphic design, I know the only way to fully succeed there is I Gotto kick this addiction, dude weed has taken over and honestly these 2 vids totally hit home, I'm not who I should be, I've been saying these things too myself for so long but now I think I truly realise that the only way out of whoever I am right now is to quit this shit, I used to draw so much, my creativity has pretty much gone downhill ever since I smoke up. So fuck all that, from now on I wanna see the other side of me, the side that maybe isn't so socially anxious, lazy, faded, little akward, scared of stupid shit normal people see as normal things that you shouldn't stress about & being mentally locked up, thinking about lighting up all the time, it's constantly on my fucking mind man.
I don't know who I am today, but If I do manage to go through the next few months of school, work and all without smoking, I'll comment on this comment with the changes, future me you better have done it right.

moms spaghetti hey bro how's it going?
Do you feel that your life is getting better?
I really want to quit smoking weed and i think that now it's the time to do it :D
moms spaghetti and did you
Me too..
did ya do it??
This video helped so much ! I've stopped smoking for a week now and I been feeling heavy anxiety sometimes,(hopefully it'll go away sometime soon.) but my energy is better than ever ! I wake up every day now around 7:30 a.m. thankful for a day of being sober. I'm only 18 yrs old but I've been on and off for 5 years and this video was a huge wake up call for me. I feel more motivated and loving the meaning each day about my life.
Same here man I know it's hard but stay strong
Thanks bro 😊 so far its 3 weeks since I had a blunt lol
Well done keep going. You've passed the hard stage. You'll have random dream once or twice over the next 2 weeks, find things to do that me you happy, like watching old movies, shopping for t shirts, cooking, and going out more. You'll feel great.
What the fuck does weed have to do with waking up early? The problem is you kid, not weed. I get up early and i smoke pot all day, and go to school. Working my way to a bachelors and soon to a masters.
dam i started smoking weed on my 19 bday and i am now 27 dam dude you started really young yo
Thank you so much for this list. I am watching it now as I have gotten home from work and need help to fight my cravings.
Out of interest...I see this was about 3 months ago, how did you get on?
I m on my second days to don't smoke and I almost watch your many stuff it's give me a lots of help and i believe I will never touch again I m from Pakistan and I start smoking Blake hash from very young age like in 2005 and when I moved to Austrlia in 2011 to get my law degree but unfortunately I waste my time on smoking weed all that time but now hopefully I can get my degree in two years and go back clean to my country , I want to do your course how can I do that plz give me some information .
Thank you for the video Seb, I have been currently 2 weeks off and this video just gave me a reminder about how much i do want to stop smoking
This is my second time watching reasons to quit videos. im using them to do some cognitive behavioral therapy for myself. I cant thank you enough Seb, God bless you and give you the best of this life and the next for the good ur doing. I can definitely tell you this isnt the last time i watch your vides + will be sharing them w// friends who are stuck in the same rut. thanks again
everything you say is valid. your a very smart person. im 22 years old and ive been smoking daily for little over 5 years. Your list of 60 reason are for people like me, daily smokers. people who have developed a dependence. honestly i have stopped smoking for only 2 days now so i stumbled upon ur video to gain motivation for my decision to quit. so many of your point pertained to me it was kind of an eye opener, not that i wasnt aware of some of the negatives marijuana was giving me. but to have it all laid out the way you did and explained greatly. so i just want to say thank you. I hope i begin to dream more often and i will keep a journal for my dreams. i noticed you said youve began to meditate. ive recently became interested in meditation, if you could make a video on meditation id deff give it a thumbs up. thanks mate
Thank you for this video. I quit cold turkey 5 days ago after being a daily smoker (2-3 times a day) for 6 months. not NEARLY as long as some people but i am still feeling some of the withdrawal effects. I didn't originally intend to quit and was just stopping for a few days to clear my head, and when i started to feel withdrawals i thought i would wait 2 weeks, and now after seeing this video i intend to quit fully (MAYBE smoking on special occasions but not in a routine). This list of reasons has really encouraged me to pursue quitting so thank you!
This was a great video for a stoner like myself who been trying to quit smoking for years now. I really think this audio and visual of things that could help me become a better person will help. I've been smoking for 20 years straight and the longest break I quit was for 1 month in those years. I felt great too but I went right back and been stuck every since. Tomorrow is the day I QUIT SMOKING and become THE REAL ME!
This is truly the best vid on this topic ever and I've watched and read them all. Every single reason applied to me. It's been 4 days now weed and cigarette alcohol and coffee free so I'm making big changes.... Just wanted to share the fact that my life is already dramatically improving in a lot of ways mentioned in this vid and I want to thank you so much for posting this i never thought I'd say this but I will ever pick up the habit again now after you've confirmed all of this that I was already aware of but just to stoned and careless to realize. Thank you again and I want to tell someone who is quiting that u need short achievable goals , stay busy
Thank you for this video.. Its time to stop after 4 years of smoking everyday and thinking its good for you, feels good to realize how wrong i was..
I’ve been clean for 5 days !!! So proud
You are awesome mate, omg I relate to the entire list. And this video found me at a crucial juncture in quitting ! I can't thank you enough for posting this and it's had a profound impact on my journey , bless you.
I,ve been smoking for 10 years and I had every single thing on the list, some one them in a major way, that was the best thing I could have ever possibly watched. You put it in the exact way I needed to hear it. I'm bunnin the last of my bud tonight and that is the end of it! Honestly thankyou so much, your a good bro, you've honestly just made me a new man.
Day 7. Last night I was searching everywhere for a long lost bud. Cant sleep. CBD not seeing to do much. Thank you brother for this video. Amazing awareness on the positives with quitting weed
Thank you, I have lost my girlfriend, I have lost a good job, I was stressed all the time, THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO, I AM WATCHING THIS VIDEO BECAUSE ON MY DAY 5 ;-) I think I have smoked it for too long. And I think it caused me so many problems in my life.lost university, went in debts, emigrated, was doing chappy jobs, stopped creating music, NO TO TABACCO, NO TO ALCOHOL, NO TO WEED, NO TO CAFFEINE ;-) yes to windsurfing board and 8 square meters sail running the water 50-90 kilometers an hour ;-) 1000 dislikes are by Stones who Can't accept that when you quit weed life becomes better for those who hav made their decision
Hell yes!
Not a pot head but many of the things you've mentioned I recognise from other addictions including my own computer game addiction. I think you've nailed it completely mate. Well done! I salute you!
Fisherman From Hell same here. internet and porn addiction for me
N30N Cheers. Hope you will be in recovery mate. Wish you all the best :)
Fisherman From Hell much appreciated. pray for me please. it's the same for me i need it to sleep. i cant resist..
N30N I know - just like I couldn't resist a computergame and I know that if I should start playing again for some reason, then I wouldn't be able to control how long time. Maybe it would be one hour, maybe it'll be 24 hours - I don't know, but that's how addiction works - it's a scary disease. I really wish you all the best and I'll keep you in my thoughts :)
thanks very much for this. it means a lot that you'd take the time to go through this. i needed to hear it. quitting weed is one of the hardest things i've ever done. it's so scary. especially with depression and anxiety lurking in the background. thanks again.
7 days sober now. feeling better :)
when i was a teenager i loved weed. when i was in my 20's it was something to do after work. in my 30's i cant stand it!
Thank you, very inspiring! I will play this over as a reminder from time to time when the cravings hit.
I watched this right before almost picking up a joint after being clean for 4days. Thanks
Forgotten memories keep coming back, for some reason this is a big one for me, I will just randomly get flash back of old memories
13 years smoked the green everyday. Smoked all variation of strains available in amsterdam coffee shops, grew it smoked and sold it for a few years. Brain feels cloudy, confidence gone shambles, eat like a pig but cannot put on weight. personality dead, look miserable even though im now. have addictive personality which doesn't help. Got a crap grade in degree cos smoked all the way through. brain does not stay sharp consistently. Managed to stop once for 30 days with the help of this video then had one like a idiot a few months ago and it bacame an everyday thing again. Today been sober for 3 days. First night managed to fall asleep at 6am. yesterday slept like a baby at 9pm. today went bed 9pm but am still awake at 2am. previously watching this video every night in bed motivated me to keep away from a joint and look forward to a brighter future. This guy is spot on. Thought of having a joint earlier which is what i did after work everyday and did all day long on weekdays but then i thought of how i usually regret after having it and went bed after dinner. And it would break the 3 day sober then have to start from day one again. Decided to write this comment to give credit to this guy as nothing else ever made me be sober a single day previously. Its so important to me now because I've made it to management at work while smoking every evening. if i continue sober then id be able to hold more thoughts in my head and be sharper so i can move further upwards in my career without a sluggish progress. To those who say weed is not addictive - i said the same when i started it in high school. Cigarette smokers say they won't get addicted when they first start but the majority of them do. those that dont are either too broke to get addicted or have incredible will power. Those that enjoy it are happy with their life and ignorant to the fact that they are detierating. Having money all the time like snoop dogg makes buying weed as casual as doing weekly groceries. The anxiety is a killer to deal with but after a few days you begin to not give a shit and the new you feels pretty cool. Happy quitting!
BTW i got all A grades in my A levels after 3 years everyday smoking and A's and B's at schools after having smoked 1 year everyday. Try smoking weed for 5 -10 years everyday and see if you can still get top grades. Good luck!
Haven't smoked for 3 days now...needed this video..Thanks :)
I appreciate this channel bro. I love smoking weed but I hate that it makes me too lazy to develop my weaknesses. One good joint at the end of the day seems to be about right
Looking to quit tomorrow, have been smoking for 2-3 years non stop. God help me.
+Maxemilio Speight there is no tomorrow! there is no tomorrow!!!
you cannooooot stooooop !!!! Thereee is nooo tomorrowwww!!!
Johnny Rage i agree, still smoking daily since this message. My life is a mess.
+Maxemilio Speight Dude , let me tell you as a 10 years experienced pot head lol , weed is not gonna hurt you my friend , it showed me the beautiful side of life and helped me to rise again , my life use to be a mess , just be careful about what you are smoking and who you are smoking with , pick the best strains , watch movies and play games , smoke weee 24 7 bro . Dont quite it .
+Maxemilio Speight Hey, I smoked like you for a long time. Stop it for once. There is no gradual stopping. Stop it, and fill your day's schedule with so many things that you do not have any time for weed. It will destroy your life in the long run.
part 1 and 2 are very good for people in general to see. good work.
I’ve only smoked weed for a year and I’m 14 so glad I quit before I wasted 15-20 years of my life like other people.
It’s a life long battle stay smart
Thank you for this video. I quit smoking weed in November 2013 after watching this video. I just thought I'd come back to give you my love and appreciation for guiding through what was a very troubling time in my life. I feel great now. And I'm proud of myself and my achievement. I say to all those who want to quit YES YOU CAN. I was an everyday smoker for ten years since I was 17, and it was like Russian roulette, after smoking, either happiness or sadness. The sadness became unbearable and wasn't worth it. This video really helped me to give up for good. I will never smoke again because all I remember are the bad times. It's not fun or cool to be addicted to weed. It's very stressful an expensive on your pockets and your life. Give up today and embrace the joy that will come tomorrow. Don't let yourself down you can do it.
Helped so much Seb, thank you! I'm honestly giving it up cold turkey.
I've never smoked weed but this is a real eye opener. I like many others don't think it's harmful, but it seems to kill motivation and energy to do shit. Great video!
I quit and started daily meditation practice, I fully relate to all these reasons and my life has gone from depression to bliss :)
+ on top of that im saving a whopping $500 a month!
Dan Green trying to myself glad to hear others
This is a one-of-a-kind tools and i can relate to 99%. Your examples hit me in the stomach and i got a really well placed kick in the groin. Thx for this wakeup-call and i will start my mission within hours!Thx buddy and all the best....
im a stoner and on days i go clean i noticed some positive effects, and you just named every change i felt from my own experience. so listening to a video bullet pointing every positive effect i've felt and noticed entirely on my own is quite eye opening, and i know now that these changes are very real.
So thats why im dreaming now. Sweet
Great video man! Exstoners are some of the best people, because they care and understand.
I quit weed almost a year ago it does feel good to tell people no and not worry about the type of people it attracts.
Hey Seb, thanks for the great video. I have come to realize that smoking weed all day every day has affected my life a lot. every time i have a blaze i feel better about life and less stressed but then when i sober up and run out i get very shitty and my emotions run wild I also over think everything and get paranoid. all i think about is when and where ill be picking up my next lot of buds. I was really pissed off before cause i had none and had no way to get it, so in staid of sitting here angry I decided to search for help on you-tube to fix the problem properly and not just put a plaster on it by buying more weed tomorrow. i haven't smoked any weed in the last 24 hours and actually noticed i was twice as talkative and didn't wake up feeling like shit for once. I feel good about giving up, i should of done it along time ago. Another point to give up is weed can cause heart palpitation/skip beats, alot of times after having a big blaze my heart would skip a beat ever 20 seconds or so and scare the shit outa me. yet it doesnt happen when sober. thanks and subscribed.. p.s im looking forward to boning alot more woman haha
Dude thank you so much for these videos. I wish I had found them five years ago.
This is one of if not the best piece of advice to quite weed
Seb, awesome article. I feel like shit on quitting day 4, i'm on vacation and have a whole ounce that I haven't touched since I decided to quit. i have been smoking weed everyday for 13 years. Man i'm trying to figure out how to get the heavy chested short of breathe feeling and anger and sadness and every god-damned emotion that slams into my soul every other second under control. I lost my mom 8 years ago at 29 and that was really when it got to be a medicine for my pain. Problem is I have someone who gives it to me basically free (hydro). Nothing really going wrong in my life, got a great wife, awesome kids, a nice house, nice cars, my own successful business and MJ hasn't destroyed any of this. I did just go through the worst Asthmatic Bronchitis of my life. Doc said quit smoking and I quit cigs two months ago and weened down on the weed a month ago, cold turkey 4 days ago. It's been so long I'm not sure I remember who I was without weed, i've always been a super motivated person, even on weed. I convinced myself along time ago, that if I want to smoke weed I have to maintain the other things or no more pot. So I'd get stoned an force myself to get up and go to work, coach baseball, help people with their bullshit, run a business I even rescued a guy from 4 thugs while I was high as hell. But I just can't live this way anymore. Now or 4 days ago if smoke I get panic attacks and guilt and can't breathe so it's doesn't relieve anything for me anymore. I just want to get to the new me, maybe i'm expecting too much on day 4 but I'm just having every withdrawal symptom and it sucks, teary eyes while I type. I hate it when I read forums where asshole say we're weak, it's natural, we're full of shit. I feel so bad for them if they wind up here where I am feeling like hell, with no real idea of how this gets better. I'm assuming alot of them can get high and be fine. I can't anymore and appreciate the insight into this process of recovery. Thanks man!
thanks man im on day 10 now. and feel grood, not great but good. day 4 was a monster!
So many positive things are happening, some frustrating shit too. but god damn i'm accomplishing more in the last 5 days than I thought I could!
fcuk you I felt better after day 1 and every day after that I felt great
Don Herr Don't go back. I went back and am quitting again because life is so much better NOT smoking pot. I was unstoppable...and that's were I want to stay :)
I'm 129 days sober I feel good. Lungs are still healing though
Stop counting the days, and start counting the things you've gained and how much shit you're getting done now. and money you're saving and brain power and..the list goes on and on. 1 day sober here lol, feeling good already, had a rough sleep last night though. But, here I come, back in action!
Been smoking for 14 years, quitted many times but always came back to it! Only for the last year I have been quitting almost each month and re-triggered after a couple weeks! I never thought I would end up quitting cigarettes so easy but stay so badly hooked on the weed!
Wow I just listened to both parts and I have to say that you were spot on about everything you broke down. I have been smoking everyday for 5 years and when you described life on pot as "sleep walking", I realized that if I quit and get in touch with my spiritual side, I still have so much time to make up leading in the right direction for my life.
Thank god for this video, nothing inspires me to quit more, still in the process, most of these relate to me in a big way been smoking daily for around 9 years maybe 8
I am marijuana user, due to sleeping problems, I am orientated to science, I test and examin everything, so I did a little test on myself, being high constantly for 3 months.
I would not recommend long term use to anyone, I am very self controlled person, and I am able to quit from anything, including this (I did). After I stopped 3 month session, I did feel some adverse effects, and it might be hard for other people to quit afterwards, it would be much easier to get more weed and smoke it. Most of things in this video are right except for some personality things, and athlete thing you said (I am very fit, super fast, physically very healthy). After you quit from long term use, you actually get sort of caffeine period for like 3 weeks. But I noticed, even after quitting, my sleeping problems were still faded, and I could still sleep better, record was for whole month after last use. I have very heavy insomnia, no pills help, so that might be considerable thing about weed.
I wish this weed never had entered my life, i had really god potential in school, but wasted my time away with weed and fun, now i can't study psychology is i wanted to because i have average grades - its my own fault - i decided to smoke and game and party throughout high school, while others worked hard on their homework - damn this weed had also made my energy less almost everything what Seb Grant tells is like spot on. I hope this will be a eye opener, i really want to quit but i have such diffityculty saying no when its present. I hope i will quit soon. Actually I'm so addicted that I'm even smoking now, with the illusion that it will help calming me down or be more creative playing piano.. its just an illusion i see it now. I hope someone can send me a supportive post and encourage me to stop smoking
If you are having any doubts it's your subconscious telling you it's time for change. I support you in going through the same thing ❤
Just stop for one day each day :)
Thanks! I've been looking for some help with this issue and I'm going to watch all of your other videos because I fall into the creative type category, and, need your help, and I know in my bones that what you say is true!
Thank you, your videos have been amazingly helpful.
I've been frustrated lately because of my failed attempts to quit, but I believe watching your videos gave me the necessary motivation and understanding.
Hopefully, today is the last time I make the decision to quit.
Number 54: forgotten memorys are not always so great.
thank you so much seb grant. I can relate to EVERY thing on this list and hearing someome talk about it honestly makes a huge difference
Thanks so much. I needed this information badly, only wish I could go back and tell my past self to quit. Next step is learning to forgive myself for all the damage done and the missed opportunities.
Thanks again Seb
Watching your videos is helping me immensely to stay sober. It seems like all these 60 things you mentioned described me personally. I was just too short-sighted to ever think that smoking 5 bowls a day might be causing all these problems. Thank you so much, Seb.
Great videos man, you helped me quit weed and i see a huge difference. If you want nothing to change you can continue smoking weed forever.
Thanks man just finished my first day without smoking for months this gave me a proper boost when I needed it
Awesome video man.very educational,i can 100%relate to each and every point cited.8yrs pothead.1yr smoke free now and counting
ur are a really smart guy... i understand everything ur talking about i been a stoner for 7 years i want to quit so i can be really smart again u do a great job explaining this thank u
Holy shit Seb, here I am a week into trying to quit smoking weed and was experiencing some late night cravings. I stumbled across this video because I needed to hear some positive reinforcement. I found this video to be incredibly motivating and actually am now really excited in the decision I've made to quit. You don't even know how much you helped me man, I almost slipped back into my old habits but then I heard this was filled with tons of motivation and encouragement. Thanks alot man!
I have watched your videos and you have made to wake up to the real world and the fact that so much of my time and energy has been wasted on smoking weed. your 60 reasons have made me realise what i am missing out on. i have smoked weed for nearly 7 years none stop. I always thought i was the one that was right and they were wrong but now i realise i was the one that was wrong. people always told me that, smoking is not good for you and you make the wrong decisions when you smoke.
all i can say is thank you. please keep on spreading the truth to people who need that extra push
I haven't smoked marijuana for 2 days now and I'm doing it for health reasons. All the things you've listed in this video apply to me and my personal life. I would like my fiance to quit with me and thanks to this video I'm able to show him reasons why he should. Keep doing what you're doing and thank you so much!
I think us senior citizens should be able to smoke it at this point in life. We earned it. :)
Awesome and so true. Haven't met a single smoker who is successful and fulfilled in life.
Seb Grant, This 2 part video is amazing. Im watching it 2-3 times a day just to make sure i dont forget. or everytime i have Cravings. I want to tell you that i can relate to most of the 60 reasons. And the thing is that i used to smoke weed with my wife but than she quit because she has different experience with weed. I love her very much and i understand why she gets mad at me. So she is working out of town for the summer and i would love to suprise her when she comes back. How awesome would that be!
Thanks again Sir. I appreciate your video very much.
I wrote down 47 out of 60. This video is unbelievably helpful and relatable. Thank you sooo much! Ps. Love the accent!
Your vids have been a great help and ring very true. I have been smoking since 13 , I am now 33. I had a shit up bringing and it was a way of forgetting . I have always worked , but to be honest.. Just to pay for weed.. I never had a problem and didn't see anything wrong . I never had a joint out of my mouth.. I realise now that I totally have fucked my life up.. My ex ran of with my friend and left me with my son.. I get threw life, I do all the shit.. But the only thing that got me threw the day was the thought of getting high.. I'm in my first week of giving up.. I hope I can do it but I ain't much faith in myself and my own mind seems to be against me..
That sickness thing is spot on
These videos were excellent, I'm on day 10 now and i feel super strong mostly due to these vids...Sometimes the burst of energy in the mornings is overwhelming, But i've found going for a ride on my motorcycle helps alot calming me down...Thanks again,you've changed my life. All the way from England...Peace :)
Today is day 7 and i am feeling great! thank u seb grant
I have quit before and really did feel most if not all the positive effects of not smoking. Today is day 1 for me to stop, and this was a great tool to motivate it! thank you. btw, I'm 37 and began smoking at 13. Educated, fairly successful (my friends think i'm a millionaire,lol) and also a father. I do remember the great clean free feeling I had when I took about a year break. This was about 6 years ago. I am going to try one month and really look for the positive results to extend my quitting, hopefully forever. Thank you
these are the words EXACTLY as I was going to type them.
Thank you so much Seb, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude.
I’m sure u get many supporting comments but I wanna give u another one, ur so right about quiting if u are an everyday smoker
@Seb Grant, thanks a lot for all of the very informative videos that you have shared with us. I can definitely say that your videos are the most helpful, and very encouraging. I tested weed nearly 4 years ago, and I smoked excessively for the last 2 years, and my goodness! it gradually destroys your health, your pocket, your appearance, you name it!. Everything in your life will be tasteless and imperfect without it. But the truth is that weed makes it that. And every smoker must come back to reality, which is done through QUITTING!. I quit many times unsuccessfully in the last 4 months, and every try was a test. This time I am quitting, and its my day one, and there is no going back.
Thank you...I needed strength against relapsing and this worked
Sebastian, despite all the hate comments you get from all those ignorant people who dont get that you dont care if they smoke or not, but that you just try to help people that really want to stop. i wanna say thanks. your videos really helped me! :) i like to see the whole quitting thing from a more objective perspective.
- good day :)
Since I stopped smoking I dream every night so good . You are right
I quit smoking 6 months ago and I am just starting to feel emotion again. I have the hardest time dealing with loneliness. I believe loneliness is the emotion which caused me to use marijuana in the first place.
