Just hit 21 days after 4 years of smoking everyday. I’m still irritable asf but at least the cold sweats have calm down now. Wasted so much time and money and now looking back I regret ever starting. Wishing my fellow peeps who are looking to stop to keep pushing. Good luck y’all🙏
@@TOEKNEELIFESTYLEdepence on how much you smoke too. I had a t-break for 2 mounts (i smoked like 3 joints during this time) cause i was smoking a lot and now after the t-break i smoke 3x more
the part thats really addicting is the mindset. it makes you happier than you should be, so when your sober you crave not feeling like you do because of whatever reasons, causing stress which is awful for you
Maybe you replaced happiness with weed? Like many addicts, if we swap the substance no changes are made meaning your seeking connection not pain relief, find therapy not drugs
Been smoking since I was 16, I’m 28 now. Most all of my friends have stopped and are doing real adult shit and I still wanna hide from reality and smoke weed. I been asleep my whole twenties because of this drug. I feel like I wasted my youth on it. I don’t wanna be a 30 year old still using.
I feel you bro. I started smoking heavily once I got out the army I was 22 when I got out. Just had my 29th bday in Oct. and have been smoking pens and blunts everyday since I got out. I’m 5 days sober and it’s fucking horrible . But the harder it gets I feel like I’m getting closer to staying clean . Hoping to never touch the stuff again.
Hey I’m 28 also. I been telling myself “I can quit anytime I want” for years.. cut out alcohol more than 2 months ago and just finally put down weed for good last Thursday. First few days are always the hardest, drink tons of water and immerse yourself in hobbies. Get rid of the paraphernalia. It does get better, I promise! I’m here for you
I can cause physical withrawl, even though it's not as bad as other drugs. It is very real. Profuse sweating, feverish, insomnia, no appetite, nausea. These are all pretty common among those who smoke regularly. I have first hand experience on this and it sucks
Like i tell others. “Whats goes up” meaning every good thing about weed will be the down side. No munchies. No passing out ect. It can be pretty shitty
Exactly - it’s so irritating watching people push this narrative that it’s not physically addicting. If caffeine can do what it does to people, so can thc which is a way more mind altering substance than caffeine
Insomnia. Loss of appetite, constipation, heavy sweating and nausea. Im pretty sure these are physical symptoms, doctors and the media dont know anything lmaooo 💀🤡
Bro you describes me to a T. The very first day, i couldnt sleep At ALL. And then daya past and id have awful nightmares. Currently im constipated as all hell and dont even look forward to eating anymore. Ive had headaches as well and definitely have felt nauseated out of nowhere several times. This Dr is an idiot
25 , just quit because i kept lying to myself that i wasn’t addicted. Its cost me jobs , relationships and more. The disassociation is whats addicting…no one wants to admit it tho
I started smoking weed during an abusive relationship. I was getting physically hit (on top of all the other forms of abuse) and after hours of him spiraling/abusing me, hed settle down and he’d light a blunt. I was never a smoker before this. I’d smoke with him because it turned into my coping mechanism to numb myself. I didn’t have any close friends or family to turn to, I honestly accepted my fate: that he would kill me, that no one cared for me and this was my bed- so I had to lay in it. I finally fled to a DV shelter after 4 years . It’s been about 7 years and I haven’t stopped smoking. I suffered from ptsd which kept me isolated at home, without working or seeing people. Smoking got me through the loneliness and pain. The habit has transformed into a monster I’m trying to take down in my life. I feel it’s crippling me in so many areas. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be free and not be dependent . To be able to go through my day without NEEDING to do this, only to ruin my day with cancelled plans , undone chores, late homework . Etc. I pray for healing and recovery for all us suffering with trauma. People don’t realize a lot of those who suffer from traumatic experiences are more prone to become addicted to weed. My current bf now , doesn’t smoke AT ALL. Has no desire for it. Meanwhile, I’m feening 😅 I know it’s because he’s never had to numb himself to survive another day. People are suffering. The first step would be to get specialized therapy. Fill my free time with hobbies and do all the things I’ve wanted to do that the HIGH stole motivation for . Pray for me somebody!!!!!
Let’s talk about the fact I can’t sleep for days on end when trying to quit. Let’s talk about the fact that my mood can go from totally calm to ballistic rage when I die in Valorant. Let’s talk about how I can go a day and a half without feeling hungry, only forcing myself to eat when I’m starting to get too tired to move. Let’s talk about how temperature regulation goes out the window and how my body decides randomly to superheat itself, only to follow it with subthermal shivers randomly throughout my day. My personal favorite, let’s talk about how my body likes to reject food after 1 day of quitting. I can only keep liquids down as it reminds me of always having a water next to me while smoking. I won’t say doctors don’t know anything, because they clearly know more than I do in most subjects, but let’s be real, most doctors aren’t smoking weed, much less chronically. If you want to know real symptoms, talk to people with firsthand accounts of quitting.
The only thing I can say in his defense. He’s right about it not being as bad as other harder drugs. Thankfully, thc is much less transformative to your body as other illicit substances. It WILL be easier to quit and it’s lasting effects won’t be seen as clearly after quitting. That being said, it still sucks shit to try to quit.
You do realise you can get those symptoms no matter the addiction? People have the exact same experience when quitting porn for example. It’s not just a weed thing.
Ya I literally throw up and barely eat for 2 weeks every time I stop but life is so shity I start again after a few months and the only real difference I realize in my life is that I can sleep and am not getting high
Spent the last 5 years smoking pretty much everyday. Wasted so much time, money, and most importantly potential. Now I’m sitting here wondering how much different my life could have been if I never touched it. Shit killed my drive and ambition
I used weed as a medicine to help my ADHD symptoms in the nights as it’s always been a big struggle to relax properly and focus so it always helped with that but last week I decided to quit weed for financial matters and the first week of stopping my ADHD symptoms was almost like a rebound effect as it was very intense with all the typical ADHD symptoms such as chronic stress, hyper behaviour, insomnia, cortisol levels was very high which caused sweating and panic. Basically suffered from dopamine depletion as thc drains your dopamine levels and as an adhd individual who has typically less dopamine than the neurotypical person, it was very intense but now time has passed since having any and i feel a lot more stable in myself and just much better. Thanks so much for this video, so interesting with how the psychological dependency works with weed!
Thank you. I've been trying to quit but Its hard because I feel like my ADHD symptoms worsen. I cant stop thinking, I cant sleep, I cant get anything done, depressed. I'm only on day 2 now but hopefully this time I can actually do it.
I may be wrong but bro, I've never heard of thc draining your dopamine levels. Your brain doesn't suddenly create/deplete you of any dopamine. The way thc reacts in our body is different than other drugs. That's why it's fairly safe and no reported overdoses. You'd have to smoke a huge, and I mean HUGE quantity to overdose and even then nothing happens besides maybe paranoia or panic which may cause maybe mild sweating but it doesn't destroy your body like alcohol or other 'drugs.'
@@privera4941It causes your body to depend on it because every time you smoke it releases dopamine. This means that you will have lower than average dopamine levels than if you didnt smoke so it can cause depression and other symtoms. This is coming from someone thats currently addicted (trying to quit) and I definitely feel the negativite effects it has on me. The issue is it's psychologically addictive so it's very difficult for people to admit to themselves that it's bad, I know it took me a very long time.
@isaacsturgill7295 I believe thc will have that effect on people who don't control their urges and end up depending on it. I'm trying really hard to only use it for gatherings or when I'm with the homies and replacing that with alcohol and other drugs. That way I can be of assistance to other people at a function if they're too drunk (or whatever they're on) so I can help. Weed will reward you with that. So will psychedelics.
So sick of this stigma. Weed is fucking addicting and it has physical withdrawals. But of course they'll tell this shit to keep you in the rat race smoking weed not thinking it's a big deal.
If you think you have physical withdrawal you're wrong. The psychological impact is what tricks you into thinking so. Once you're prepared mentally, that diminishes almost completely. Trust me I smoked for over 15 years chronically, daily, extremely dependent and thought I couldn't do it but wrong
I hope you're still on that journey! I see lot of people scared of physical aspects but rarely they know that the hardest part is psychological impacts, especially post acute withdrawal effects. Rewiring of brain is hard but it's doable.
@@jeydey98 buy a threadmil. Everytime you have a craving, hop on the mil and start running till the urge stops. The more you age the harder it will become to quit
@joiross4887 I'm 29 and it's all mental but it puts up a good game. Just have to ride it out. It won't kill you. I've battled narcotic withdrawals an that was unbearable
Essentially started with “The first thing to remember is that you don’t have it that bad and I don’t know why your struggling.” Weed absolutely has physical and mental withdrawal symptoms anyone who says otherwise is just simply wrong. I have no idea where this idea that weed isn’t addictive or that it somehow shouldn’t be considered a drug on the same level as nicotine or alcohol. It is absurd and damaging to those who don’t know better.
In Jan. of 2005, I permanently quit using cannabis, and I'm very glad that I did quit. Permanently quitting cannabis use helped me to become myself again. It enabled me to permanently quit tobacco use, and I made other major improvements at that time as well.
I think lots of people underplay psychological addiction. They don't realize that's still a serious withdrawal problem. For example sugar and chocolate are psychologically addictive. Imagine never being able to eat chocolate again, that's how bad it is.
As someone who used to say u cant get addicted to weed before I started smoking, to now constantly saying “this is ny last batch” and cant go one day without finding myself back at the dispensary and then guilting and shaming myself while getting high is very ironic
I promise you if you are a heavy user, you can experience physical withdrawal. Obviously the withdrawal is not potentially lethal like some other drugs here mentioned. I’ve quit a few times now for drug tests and each time I experienced sweating, shaking, irritability, restlessness, anxiety, nausea & vomiting.
I experimented with most drugs but abused mainly cannabis and alcohol, for me cannabis was the hardest to quit, withdrawal symptoms that went on for several weeks if not longer. Most people think it’s not addictive but it is and I have relapsed a few times thinking I can control for it to take its grip once again, currently 11 months without weed and 7 without alcohol, life is good, sleep has never been better and lost 18kg, in the gym most days, I won’t go back
Smoked for 11 years then decided to quit. The withdrawl symptomps very much included physical symptomps. This guy doesnt know shit, i would not seek his services. No week for about 10 years now but it was really hard to quit. Thank God I am free.
13 years smoker ! & I’m on my 2 day today !! It’s hard but I been going to the gym to keep my mind busy ! It’s all about keeping busy Which is the hardest cuz as a smoker I would smoke to not do anything ! Now I gotta force my self to do things ! Ughh not easy but I’m gonna keep going
Been smoking 19 years daily and often take "T breaks" (tolerance breaks) between 2 days to 2 months without any physical withdrawal. Y'all should stop lacing your weed with nicotine and other ACTUAL (chemical and harmful) drugs
@@LG-ro5lefirst couple weeks might be shite. But it gets better. Wish I never touched this shit. It might be good for others, but not for me. Wasted the past 5 years of my life with this shit
I quit and I use to be a chronic long term smoker. The first couple day's clean my stomach was a little nauseous nothing over whelming. Mentally after the first two weeks I found myself not even thinking about it unless I'm around someone that lites up. It's doable, no big deal really if you really want it.
Exactly .. after a few days of grinding it out(easier to stay busy and moving then sit and think about weed) you won’t be thinking of getting high at all.
I'm 47. Been smoking every day since I was 12. It's hard to quit, but it's way easier if you really want to quit. It has only been a week and a half, but I'm ready to quit.
Had some stuff happen, couldn’t not see it every time I was awake, smoked to stop seeing all of it. Tried to quit one day, had a dream with many of the bad memories, remembered all of it.
I'm 18 and I've been smoking regularly (almost everyday) since 16. A couple days ago I decided to take a break due to economic reasons. I'm not rly experiencing any withdrawal effects neither mental nor phisic. My sleep is fine, appetite is fine and I'm not more irritable than normally. The thing i miss the most is my lullaby joint. I had the habit to smoke a j while listening to music before going to bad and it was one of my favourite moments of the day. Figured out I can replace that moment with other stuff to fill the void. That said I think having other hobbies besides smoking is what really makes me not mind the break
I smoked for 15years and quit 3 days ago. Can't sleep can't eat, keep sweating /shaking and feal very aggressive. But I'm confident if I go through hell I'll come out stronger.
@@Rockstarmade224it does but people over exaggerate. It’s definitely easier then quitting nicotine. It’s like having caffeine withdrawal. If you think quiting weed is bad please for the love of god stay away from opioids cause that’s like weed withdrawal x20 lol
I completely disagree on the physical withdrawal not being bad. Ive gotten fevers, horrible stomach issues, insomnia, sweats, no appetite, the list goes on. We need to be honest about the high percentages of THC we’re consuming as a society and what it’s doing to our bodies.
I quitted from everyday smoking to none in a heartbeat. Changed my life for the better, 8 years of doing nothing was enough. Failed my first business because of it and it really sobered me up for good.
Today is my last day. There was a time when I had to quit cold turkey when i lived alone without my kids and wife. That was a nightmare, LITERALLY. Im a hardcore smoker and have been for 12 straight years everyday. This time around I have my kids and wife and a newborn and quitting cold turkey again for a good career, won’t be so hard this time around. Its all mental .
Delta-9-THC causes physical dependence with chronic use. You don't know what youre talking about. Severe sweating, insomnia, shakes and tremors, restless legs, anger, etc. are all somatic withdrawal symptoms from Delta-9-THC. Just because it isn't as intense as full ethanol withdrawal doesn't mean it doesn't cause physical dependence. ALL the research in humans and animals shows this.
It's very hard, im 9.5 months still feeling not very good, insomnia stupid dreams feeling lazy. Just much less anxiety. I think to be completely cleared needs at least 2 years. My longest brake was 1 year nine months and then I started again back in 2017. And this time I quit in January 2023. Ohh first two weeks are horrible.
Hardest part about quitting weed for me is 2 things: Living with fellow smokers 2. Finding new things to do with my extra time. Currently trying to regain my motivation and aggressive drive that i've subdued (Life and family stuff) and the those are the parts i struggle honestly. I make mistakes a lot during my quitting but i keep trying. Those are the hurdles i want to overcome.
started smoking 5 months ago daily. at first I started smoking only once in the morning, then I started smoking twice a day, then three times a day, etc. my lungs hurt now whenever I breathe deeply and the withdrawals are definitely PHYSICAL. I can’t eat because my appetite decreased. I can’t sleep because I start sweating profusely and I get cold. everything seems so bland and boring now and I mean everything. sitting down, watching videos, texting friends, etc. I DEFINITELY need weed to feel happy, or to have fun and everyday is hell for me right now. don’t start and if you just recently started I suggest you quit.
On day 3 basically but damn reading all these comments has me realizing I’m going through it lol can’t sleep not even hungry and I have had constant headaches been smoking since 2020 for almost every single day other day dispo declined me cause my license expired and I ended up taking it as a sign to quit been down for a long time tried many times before but really wanna get my head straight and focus on bigger things
I have been an avid smoker for going on 5 years now and I have tried many times to stop, I started because of ptsd and I haven’t been able to muster up the courage to go through with quitting this time but I want to badly. I just get really anxious and have horrible mood swings that scare myself and my family.
U can do it I was a smoker for 17 years minimum 3.5 grams a day I abused my body, but now I have gad, depression cronic stress an cronic fatigue I add none of this before I smoked weed, ruined my life anyway Xmas day I decided to go cold turkey the symtoms I'm gettin now are unreal
For anyone who smokes and wants to stop or thinking about it:Do not smoke wax it’s gonna leave u tired and feeling shitty and u be damn near dieing hitting it
@@skyislight3804 bro I with u I stopped a few days ago.If you really wanna stop u can do bro,if your serious finish what u got and try to sell your rig or just brake your banger.I recommend aiming to be sober,u just to have a clear mind and not to feel like u gonna get high n take a dab
My friend got admitted to the mental hospital since he got so depressed going of the weed. He had some form of PTSD though. Took around one month for him to get more or less to baseline.
Stop listening to dumb people who try to support the THC use. I'm 21 and I was smoking since 15, i missed so many opportunities until now, i fucked up my brain, I couldn't focus, think probably, do activities, i was depressed when i wasn't smoking, anxious, didn't have any courage to try anything, stopped working, started stealing and smoking 8*9 joints a day. Now i work, i got a new car, I'm better. I had the chance to experience the withdrawal and i got scared, Swating, stomach pain, mucus, bad sleep or no sleep, you can't really eat anymore, i lost weight... i never understand what caused my mood to be like that, i always acused my family for everything.
@@jordanmarazzi3548 Thanks for sharing this with me. But if you are willing to take an advice, even if it's not that much until tomorrow, don't wait. Do it when you are not ready, If you know what I mean. Don't let your brain to process and overthink. If you are in this comment section it means you want to know better about this stuff, you want to change, so try to Google it, read a little bit what weed causes to your brain. I don't know personally how much you smoke, but even if you smoke one-two joints a day for a while (with powerful thc) You'll start to forget things, such as memories and even feelings. You'll start to feel anxious when in the beginning weed made us feel like we didn't give a shit who's watching and what it happens, we were feeling great smoking. It's addictive, you'll start to fight with your loved ones cause of it, feel depressed when you don't have weed, and even when you have it, after a while (if people can have some Discerning) will feel guilty and know that it's not ok to smoke anymore. After you quit, you'll get those memories and the power to do anything. Just think about it, what changed until now, how did weed affected your life what impact did it have. Is it really worth it?
@@jordanmarazzi3548 I see now very often how people try to support the fact weed is good for them, they love to live in that darkness like I did. But I found god, I prayed until he showed up in my life and now thanks to him, I have the power to do anything I want. I feel much better because I stopped everything what was bad for me.
@@BozgaDenis21damn bro just seen thsi , appreciate the facts you said , it’s Tuesday and I smoking again unfortunately but today is my last day , going to really re wire my brain now and maybe I also need to turn to god I ain’t religious but I know hella people that are
@@jordanmarazzi3548 I don't know you, but I know you'll do it, men! From the simple fact you are honest when you could just of said something else. Keep going bro! Even if you fail, don't stop, you still in this fight.
Seeing how many burned ass brains are in the comments, makes me more proud that I quit smoking weed and tabacco. I also didn't want to know what weed causes to my brain and body and what I should expect after I quit, but here I am... In the 3 week feeling half dead but seeing that everything is slowly getting better.
My experience quitting weed/wax/edibles - insomnia (first two nights) - irritability (two weeks) - depression (two weeks) - fatigue (on and off during first month) - extremely vivid dreams/nightmares (one month)
Haven’t smoke for 5-6 months my sleep quality is better, my motivation to hit the gym is better, my ability to control my anxiety is better. I’m sure it’s the complete opposite for others. I just wish they would make good quality balanced product rather than having a main focus of trying to make the strongest strain. Then maybe it’d be a more enjoyable experience.
I quit weed one year ago. Everything is better without it my finances my motivation. I have PTSD and even that is better without weed. The reason is the dispensary weed is absolute garbage. It’s not real weed. It’s some kind of government Wall Street creation. It’s total trash.
Im sweating, with my appetite finally coming back and only been 3 days sober. Smoked heavy on a daily basis for over 16 years. Symptoms might be psychological but they feel physical for real.
I never had withdrawals but I think it’s cause I’m otherwise healthy ima personal trainer work full time and workout 6 days a week.. so I don’t have insomnia or hunger issues just the desire to smoke lol and this coming from a guy who smoked weed everyday for 10+ years. Moral of the story get in the gym or do something active as you quit
man last night I had the most realistic dream I was back in high school but it was pitch black at night and I was locked inside with something following me. It felt so vivid I realized I was dreaming but I could feel all my muscles and the sense of space was so real. The dreams (and nightmares) are no joke
Wrong, physically addictive. Let’s normalize talking about cannabis as an addictive drug. Are the withdrawals as intense as the others? No, but I’ve been through them all, and I can tell you chronic weed use withdrawal is not just “psychological dependence”, anyone in medicine should already know this about addiction in general, physical and psychological symptoms are interwoven together and cannot be separated.
I started smoking cigarettes at 14 years old, switched to nicotine vapes at 24, and quit nicotine cold turkey at 28. I also quit alcohol completely, despite being a severe alcoholic for about 4 years. I can’t kick weed. I just can’t do it. I live in a constant state of intense anxiety without it. At one point I even disassociated- super scary feeling. Usually when I start trying to quit, I will have an outburst of anger that causes me to lose my job- sometimes it happens while I’m trying to quit, and sometimes it happens after I start again after not noticing a change despite quitting for 3 weeks. With alcohol and nicotine I was able to tell myself that the worst of it would be over in 14 days, and it was- I can’t say the same for weed. I don’t know how long the race is.
I disagree. I quit alchol very easily yet stopping weed gives me pains, sweats and left feeling sick. If i wasnt so hooked in then i woukdnt be here. I dont have a psychological addiction. When i stop, i feel it and need it.
Physical withdrawals depend on how much weed you consume. If you have a joint occasionally then there won't be any withdrawal symptons. If you use weed a lot then stopping suddenly usually causes physical symptoms. I usually get insomnia, nausea, I sweat a lot and get headaches.
Bruh ive been a daily smoker for a decade and stopped cold turkey oct 1st. I can’t sleep or eat but i lve exercised everyday since I quit which is wild
I’ve been heavy for 10+ years. Really heavy these past 3 years. Talking 3 maybe more backwoods a day. I use it to curve my GAD and I have to admit, it’s no longer helping. My last screening a year ago, the level was around 9 or 10, mild. I’ve been agoraphobic for quite a while. Smoking isn’t helping anymore and I honestly think it’s causing a heightened level of anxiety, which sucks lol. But the exercise, reading and learning to day trade have been a substitute. Nothing consistent, but I’m starting 🥲
I quit drinking in august 2021 Then weed October 2021 Effexor and benzos September 2022 And it was hell going thru all them around same time I don’t miss alcohol or weed I miss escaping and not being bored tho And benzos were prescribed for anxiety in 2007 It’s hard without them but they’re no good for u
I haven't smoked weed as much in 3 days and I haven't even been able to stand up because my back pain hurts again and it hasn't hurt it in two years. I would also like to quit smoking weed because every time I quit I look supermodel skinny slim. With Weed I'm thick with a flat stomach hour glass shaped😢 and ppl swear it's body goals. I am so befuddled help RUclips friends and family
I only take breaks when smoking weed because i have PTSD so i know i will just fall back on weed but the breaks help me to bring down my tolerance again
Weed has destroyed my finances and affected my mental health. I decided yesterday that it was time to move on and have disposed of all related paraphernalia.
Id rather live with it than without it, it does have medical benefits. Like he said though, PTSD is a big one people smoke because of. Rec smoking occasionally is ok i think
It definitely causes physical withdrawal. Feeling colder or hotter than usual, sweating, increased appetite or lack of appetite and insomnia/harder to sleep and boredom/less joy. I’d say it’s just as bad as nicotine withdrawal except you get no cravings. People say it’s psychological but I say it’s the exact opposite.
I took benzos for 6 years every day and they were way easier to quit for me than smoking weed. The activity of smoking in itself is highly addicting and since I won’t smoke cigs anymore weed is hard to avoid but trying to quit.
Doctor, anyone that takes medications for the diseases you mentioned will have side effects of withdrawal after stopping their psychiatric medications too. Does that make them add it’s or their body os going back to relapse. The army had me on 17 medications and I’m a pharmacist by the way and always believed in modern medicine until the 17 meds dilemma. Switched to weed and no longer use any of the meds you mentioned. Still on weed for the last 6 years and no issues.
Lolllll holdddd up cause Going through these PHYSICAL along with the psychological symptoms of cold sweats, unexpected tremors, lack of sleep, no appetite, mood swings and dysphoria, I think it is very invalidating and frustrating when someone dictates it’s purely psychological. Everyone is different and it is amazing if your body does not go through such symptoms, I’m happy for you fr :) but with that said, it is not true for everyone. My personal experience, I feel miserable lol, I feel angry for no reason, I sweat and it’s so uncomfortable, I shake like I got the flu and yes cannabis can be amazing but I am learning that moderation really is key because the addiction can be so real. And mind you, there is still so much we do not know about the effects of cannabis due to it being so stigmatized, and being classified as a schedule one drug which makes research on it hard to accomplish. So although maybe for some there may not be withdrawal symptoms which is great, but for some people like me, I feel miserable and watching something like this telling me that it is purely psychological feels so invalidating because although there are psychological symptoms it’s not all there is lol trust me I feel it, I wish I could tell you that it is purely psychological but my body said nahhh😭 . So please regardless of ur experience don’t undermine the physical impacts and experience of cannabis withdrawal. Have empathy for people that are trying to acknowledge its effects and heal. It is real and if u are going through it, I believe in you, u are not alone, sending u lots of love and hugs, it’ll be worth it! Please take good care of urself and give yourself so so so much love because u deserve it and frankly u owe it to yourself! Good luck bestie! We’ll be feeling better and clear headed in no time, keep fighting the urges ❤️❤️💪😭 ps. I am not saying give it up completely lol but acknowledge that it does have effects that we can’t always control so moderation do be key😩
For those who are confused about the choice of music , the content creator wanted to show their narrative towards knowledge and people who teach , in a light thats fun !
I also want you all to remember. If you sole my last comment, please eat very healthy. Eat vegetables, eat fruits, eat meats. Because it will definitely help with the cannabid system if you are stopping, we'd.
I have a question...Is it normal to have panic attacks when you have withdrawal from Weed? I need to know because every time I stop cold turkey I always have panic attacks. Also when I take too much. Any advice?
Stop smoking. Seek therapy, quit cold turkey and get outside help. Easier typed out than done but If you’re having this feeling like I am then you know smoking weed isn’t for your own good.
Lmao when i quit i got a lot of physical symptoms, not benzo levels ofc but severe night sweats and intense digestive issues couples with overwhelming fatigue
I don't get insomnia from quitting. Weed because I use natural food remedies to help with withdrawal. If anyone didn't know that you should definitely do that, you should definitely eat healthy and don't eat junk food. While you're quitting cannabis cause it will make the symptoms a lot worse. I said this to support y'all going through drug withdrawals god bless you
Not addicting but it still robbed me of the last 18 years of my life. Robbed me of relationships, friends, family, jobs, my military career, and countless opportunities. It pretends to be this helpful herb that doesn’t hurt you, but it makes you hurt yourself. I refuse to be an addict for one more day.. I refuse to give the dope man one more dirty dollar. I just refuse. I want my life back.
Depends on the person I’ve stop a month now I’m 44 been smoking since a teenager just get outside exercise and reconnect with your life it’s that easy STOP just STOP it ain’t that hard
I can't go to sleep without a couple hits of a bowl. I Don't smoke in the morning or at work. But I can't go without a couple before and after dinner hits. In that respect I guess it's very addictive to me. 30 years of of habitual use probably has me
That’s pretty much how I do. I may smoke during the day before a workout, but that’s it. Been three years now. I don’t plan on quitting forever, but I think I may take a month off to see what the withdrawal is like and if it makes me feel any different.
Definitely has physicall withdrawals. Depending on how heavy you smoke itll get harder. When i smoked 4 blunts a day and tried to quit i couldnt sleep at first then when i did the nightmares were horrible and i couldnt eat and had cold sweats. I have smoked now and it was alot easier because this time i was only smoking maybe a skinny .5-1g a day but i still had problems sleeping and eating at first with cold sweats but it wasnt as severe and after the first 3 or so days i was good and started dreaming better and actually even sleeping better than i was on it. Sleeping on weed seems easier but once you quit you notice you get better quality sleep. Started to realize i smoked out of habit and not necessarily the feeling it gave me. To each his own though
Just hit 21 days after 4 years of smoking everyday. I’m still irritable asf but at least the cold sweats have calm down now. Wasted so much time and money and now looking back I regret ever starting. Wishing my fellow peeps who are looking to stop to keep pushing. Good luck y’all🙏

Wtf was in your weed? Did you also quit heroin at the same time?
the part thats really addicting is the mindset. it makes you happier than you should be, so when your sober you crave not feeling like you do because of whatever reasons, causing stress which is awful for you

Been smoking since I was 16, I’m 28 now. Most all of my friends have stopped and are doing real adult shit and I still wanna hide from reality and smoke weed. I been asleep my whole twenties because of this drug. I feel like I wasted my youth on it. I don’t wanna be a 30 year old still using.
wow u just like me but im 26. im spend most of my 20’s sleeping away now i lack social skills
@@Gen-Z_CORE hope we both have sober and better days ahead of us bro
I feel you bro. I started smoking heavily once I got out the army I was 22 when I got out. Just had my 29th bday in Oct. and have been smoking pens and blunts everyday since I got out. I’m 5 days sober and it’s fucking horrible . But the harder it gets I feel like I’m getting closer to staying clean . Hoping to never touch the stuff again.
Hey I’m 28 also. I been telling myself “I can quit anytime I want” for years.. cut out alcohol more than 2 months ago and just finally put down weed for good last Thursday. First few days are always the hardest, drink tons of water and immerse yourself in hobbies. Get rid of the paraphernalia. It does get better, I promise! I’m here for you
Same situation here but I'm 40 and a mom. I'm doing 12 step groups and im off burnt weed doing just vape, I know I know but it's something
I can cause physical withrawl, even though it's not as bad as other drugs. It is very real. Profuse sweating, feverish, insomnia, no appetite, nausea. These are all pretty common among those who smoke regularly. I have first hand experience on this and it sucks
Vomiting too...
Withdrawal is very real. I experienced everything u mentioned trying to quit.
Headaches!!!!!
Like i tell others. “Whats goes up” meaning every good thing about weed will be the down side. No munchies. No passing out ect. It can be pretty shitty
Exactly - it’s so irritating watching people push this narrative that it’s not physically addicting. If caffeine can do what it does to people, so can thc which is a way more mind altering substance than caffeine
Was a heavy tobacco smoker, 1liter of alcohol a day. I'll say this, cannabis is tougher mentally
Insomnia. Loss of appetite, constipation, heavy sweating and nausea. Im pretty sure these are physical symptoms, doctors and the media dont know anything lmaooo 💀🤡
Dude why u mad

Bro you describes me to a T. The very first day, i couldnt sleep At ALL. And then daya past and id have awful nightmares.

Lmao bro In the video dead just judged me for like 40 second😭
Sounds like you got other issues and you conflate it to just the "green"
25 , just quit because i kept lying to myself that i wasn’t addicted. Its cost me jobs , relationships and more. The disassociation is whats addicting…no one wants to admit it tho
Facts I dissociate hella , for months , I am quitting after today , it’s Sunday
It's really f**king hard, but it's worth it
I started smoking weed during an abusive relationship. I was getting physically hit (on top of all the other forms of abuse) and after hours of him spiraling/abusing me, hed settle down and he’d light a blunt. I was never a smoker before this. I’d smoke with him because it turned into my coping mechanism to numb myself. I didn’t have any close friends or family to turn to, I honestly accepted my fate: that he would kill me, that no one cared for me and this was my bed- so I had to lay in it. I finally fled to a DV shelter after 4 years . It’s been about 7 years and I haven’t stopped smoking. I suffered from ptsd which kept me isolated at home, without working or seeing people. Smoking got me through the loneliness and pain. The habit has transformed into a monster I’m trying to take down in my life. I feel it’s crippling me in so many areas. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be free and not be dependent . To be able to go through my day without NEEDING to do this, only to ruin my day with cancelled plans , undone chores, late homework . Etc. I pray for healing and recovery for all us suffering with trauma. People don’t realize a lot of those who suffer from traumatic experiences are more prone to become addicted to weed. My current bf now , doesn’t smoke AT ALL. Has no desire for it. Meanwhile, I’m feening 😅 I know it’s because he’s never had to numb himself to survive another day. People are suffering. The first step would be to get specialized therapy. Fill my free time with hobbies and do all the things I’ve wanted to do that the HIGH stole motivation for . Pray for me somebody!!!!!
Let’s talk about the fact I can’t sleep for days on end when trying to quit.
Let’s talk about the fact that my mood can go from totally calm to ballistic rage when I die in Valorant.
Let’s talk about how I can go a day and a half without feeling hungry, only forcing myself to eat when I’m starting to get too tired to move.
Let’s talk about how temperature regulation goes out the window and how my body decides randomly to superheat itself, only to follow it with subthermal shivers randomly throughout my day.
My personal favorite, let’s talk about how my body likes to reject food after 1 day of quitting. I can only keep liquids down as it reminds me of always having a water next to me while smoking.
I won’t say doctors don’t know anything, because they clearly know more than I do in most subjects, but let’s be real, most doctors aren’t smoking weed, much less chronically. If you want to know real symptoms, talk to people with firsthand accounts of quitting.
The only thing I can say in his defense. He’s right about it not being as bad as other harder drugs. Thankfully, thc is much less transformative to your body as other illicit substances. It WILL be easier to quit and it’s lasting effects won’t be seen as clearly after quitting. That being said, it still sucks shit to try to quit.
You are absolutrly ryt brother
this bro this.
You do realise you can get those symptoms no matter the addiction? People have the exact same experience when quitting porn for example. It’s not just a weed thing.
Ya I literally throw up and barely eat for 2 weeks every time I stop but life is so shity I start again after a few months and the only real difference I realize in my life is that I can sleep and am not getting high

Lmfao wtf were you guys putting in your “weed”? Crack?
I used weed as a medicine to help my ADHD symptoms in the nights as it’s always been a big struggle to relax properly and focus so it always helped with that but last week I decided to quit weed for financial matters and the first week of stopping my ADHD symptoms was almost like a rebound effect as it was very intense with all the typical ADHD symptoms such as chronic stress, hyper behaviour, insomnia, cortisol levels was very high which caused sweating and panic. Basically suffered from dopamine depletion as thc drains your dopamine levels and as an adhd individual who has typically less dopamine than the neurotypical person, it was very intense but now time has passed since having any and i feel a lot more stable in myself and just much better. Thanks so much for this video, so interesting with how the psychological dependency works with weed!
Thank you. I've been trying to quit but Its hard because I feel like my ADHD symptoms worsen. I cant stop thinking, I cant sleep, I cant get anything done, depressed. I'm only on day 2 now but hopefully this time I can actually do it.
I may be wrong but bro, I've never heard of thc draining your dopamine levels. Your brain doesn't suddenly create/deplete you of any dopamine. The way thc reacts in our body is different than other drugs. That's why it's fairly safe and no reported overdoses. You'd have to smoke a huge, and I mean HUGE quantity to overdose and even then nothing happens besides maybe paranoia or panic which may cause maybe mild sweating but it doesn't destroy your body like alcohol or other 'drugs.'
@@privera4941It causes your body to depend on it because every time you smoke it releases dopamine. This means that you will have lower than average dopamine levels than if you didnt smoke so it can cause depression and other symtoms. This is coming from someone thats currently addicted (trying to quit) and I definitely feel the negativite effects it has on me. The issue is it's psychologically addictive so it's very difficult for people to admit to themselves that it's bad, I know it took me a very long time.
@isaacsturgill7295 I believe thc will have that effect on people who don't control their urges and end up depending on it. I'm trying really hard to only use it for gatherings or when I'm with the homies and replacing that with alcohol and other drugs. That way I can be of assistance to other people at a function if they're too drunk (or whatever they're on) so I can help. Weed will reward you with that. So will psychedelics.
So sick of this stigma. Weed is fucking addicting and it has physical withdrawals. But of course they'll tell this shit to keep you in the rat race smoking weed not thinking it's a big deal.
Not really. For a very long time, they compared weed to any other drug lol now they’re switching it up.

@@skyislight3804really depends on how long, how frequently, and what dosage you were using
@@cd0130 why you watching videos about quitting weed then?
If you think you have physical withdrawal you're wrong. The psychological impact is what tricks you into thinking so. Once you're prepared mentally, that diminishes almost completely. Trust me I smoked for over 15 years chronically, daily, extremely dependent and thought I couldn't do it but wrong
I hope you're still on that journey! I see lot of people scared of physical aspects but rarely they know that the hardest part is psychological impacts, especially post acute withdrawal effects. Rewiring of brain is hard but it's doable.

@joiross4887 I'm 29 and it's all mental but it puts up a good game. Just have to ride it out. It won't kill you. I've battled narcotic withdrawals an that was unbearable
For me quitting it causes loss of appetite, and very intense dreams.
Essentially started with “The first thing to remember is that you don’t have it that bad and I don’t know why your struggling.” Weed absolutely has physical and mental withdrawal symptoms anyone who says otherwise is just simply wrong. I have no idea where this idea that weed isn’t addictive or that it somehow shouldn’t be considered a drug on the same level as nicotine or alcohol. It is absurd and damaging to those who don’t know better.
In Jan. of 2005, I permanently quit using cannabis, and I'm very glad that I did quit. Permanently quitting cannabis use helped me to become myself again. It enabled me to permanently quit tobacco use, and I made other major improvements at that time as well.
I think lots of people underplay psychological addiction. They don't realize that's still a serious withdrawal problem. For example sugar and chocolate are psychologically addictive. Imagine never being able to eat chocolate again, that's how bad it is.
As someone who used to say u cant get addicted to weed before I started smoking, to now constantly saying “this is ny last batch” and cant go one day without finding myself back at the dispensary and then guilting and shaming myself while getting high is very ironic
I promise you if you are a heavy user, you can experience physical withdrawal. Obviously the withdrawal is not potentially lethal like some other drugs here mentioned. I’ve quit a few times now for drug tests and each time I experienced sweating, shaking, irritability, restlessness, anxiety, nausea & vomiting.
I experimented with most drugs but abused mainly cannabis and alcohol, for me cannabis was the hardest to quit, withdrawal symptoms that went on for several weeks if not longer. Most people think it’s not addictive but it is and I have relapsed a few times thinking I can control for it to take its grip once again, currently 11 months without weed and 7 without alcohol, life is good, sleep has never been better and lost 18kg, in the gym most days, I won’t go back
Been smoking for 26 years. I get sick as heck without a couple puffs a day. Insomnia. No appetite.anxiety from hell .....
Smoked for 11 years then decided to quit. The withdrawl symptomps very much included physical symptomps. This guy doesnt know shit, i would not seek his services. No week for about 10 years now but it was really hard to quit. Thank God I am free.
Phycological dependency make a lot of sense. I’ve been trying to quit and a long time now with no luck. Effecting my job and everything in my life

If you are a chronic user, the physical withdrawals are HUGE.
compared to how alcohol detox can kill you i think there a huger worries with othersubstances

Had some stuff happen, couldn’t not see it every time I was awake, smoked to stop seeing all of it. Tried to quit one day, had a dream with many of the bad memories, remembered all of it.
I'm 18 and I've been smoking regularly (almost everyday) since 16. A couple days ago I decided to take a break due to economic reasons. I'm not rly experiencing any withdrawal effects neither mental nor phisic. My sleep is fine, appetite is fine and I'm not more irritable than normally. The thing i miss the most is my lullaby joint. I had the habit to smoke a j while listening to music before going to bad and it was one of my favourite moments of the day. Figured out I can replace that moment with other stuff to fill the void. That said I think having other hobbies besides smoking is what really makes me not mind the break

I completely disagree on the physical withdrawal not being bad. Ive gotten fevers, horrible stomach issues, insomnia, sweats, no appetite, the list goes on. We need to be honest about the high percentages of THC we’re consuming as a society and what it’s doing to our bodies.
I quitted from everyday smoking to none in a heartbeat. Changed my life for the better, 8 years of doing nothing was enough. Failed my first business because of it and it really sobered me up for good.
I feel so much better seeing I'm not the only one that's struggling with the addiction.
Today is my last day. There was a time when I had to quit cold turkey when i lived alone without my kids and wife. That was a nightmare, LITERALLY. Im a hardcore smoker and have been for 12 straight years everyday. This time around I have my kids and wife and a newborn and quitting cold turkey again for a good career, won’t be so hard this time around. Its all mental .
Stop telling people there aren't physical withdrawal symptoms!!! I cant eat, can't sleep, get headaches. Those are PHYSICAL.
Bullshit I got physical symptoms.
Delta-9-THC causes physical dependence with chronic use. You don't know what youre talking about. Severe sweating, insomnia, shakes and tremors, restless legs, anger, etc. are all somatic withdrawal symptoms from Delta-9-THC. Just because it isn't as intense as full ethanol withdrawal doesn't mean it doesn't cause physical dependence. ALL the research in humans and animals shows this.
This is my second day quitting but the first night was rough. Sweating, insomnia, irritation and nausea was what I was suffering with
It's very hard, im 9.5 months still feeling not very good, insomnia stupid dreams feeling lazy. Just much less anxiety.
I think to be completely cleared needs at least 2 years. My longest brake was 1 year nine months and then I started again back in 2017. And this time I quit in January 2023.
Ohh first two weeks are horrible.
Hardest part about quitting weed for me is 2 things: Living with fellow smokers
2. Finding new things to do with my extra time.
Currently trying to regain my motivation and aggressive drive that i've subdued (Life and family stuff) and the those are the parts i struggle honestly. I make mistakes a lot during my quitting but i keep trying. Those are the hurdles i want to overcome.
started smoking 5 months ago daily. at first I started smoking only once in the morning, then I started smoking twice a day, then three times a day, etc. my lungs hurt now whenever I breathe deeply and the withdrawals are definitely PHYSICAL. I can’t eat because my appetite decreased. I can’t sleep because I start sweating profusely and I get cold. everything seems so bland and boring now and I mean everything. sitting down, watching videos, texting friends, etc. I DEFINITELY need weed to feel happy, or to have fun and everyday is hell for me right now. don’t start and if you just recently started I suggest you quit.
On day 3 basically but damn reading all these comments has me realizing I’m going through it lol can’t sleep not even hungry and I have had constant headaches been smoking since 2020 for almost every single day other day dispo declined me cause my license expired and I ended up taking it as a sign to quit been down for a long time tried many times before but really wanna get my head straight and focus on bigger things
I have been an avid smoker for going on 5 years now and I have tried many times to stop, I started because of ptsd and I haven’t been able to muster up the courage to go through with quitting this time but I want to badly. I just get really anxious and have horrible mood swings that scare myself and my family.

If you are in this comment section it means you want to know better about this stuff, you want to change, so try to Google it, read a little bit what weed causes to your brain. I don't know personally how much you smoke, but even if you smoke one-two joints a day for a while (with powerful thc) You'll start to forget things, such as memories and even feelings. You'll start to feel anxious when in the beginning weed made us feel like we didn't give a shit who's watching and what it happens, we were feeling great smoking. It's addictive, you'll start to fight with your loved ones cause of it, feel depressed when you don't have weed, and even when you have it, after a while (if people can have some Discerning) will feel guilty and know that it's not ok to smoke anymore. After you quit, you'll get those memories and the power to do anything. Just think about it, what changed until now, how did weed affected your life what impact did it have. Is it really worth it?

my sleep quality is better, my motivation to hit the gym is better, my ability to control my anxiety is better. I’m sure it’s the complete opposite for others.
I just wish they would make good quality balanced product rather than having a main focus of trying to make the strongest strain. Then maybe it’d be a more enjoyable experience.
I quit weed one year ago. Everything is better without it my finances my motivation. I have PTSD and even that is better without weed.
The reason is the dispensary weed is absolute garbage. It’s not real weed. It’s some kind of government Wall Street creation. It’s total trash.
I’m an absolute prick for 72 hours and then I begin to have the most vivid amazing dreams ever and chill out and by 1 week I’m over it

Wrong, physically addictive. Let’s normalize talking about cannabis as an addictive drug. Are the withdrawals as intense as the others? No, but I’ve been through them all, and I can tell you chronic weed use withdrawal is not just “psychological dependence”, anyone in medicine should already know this about addiction in general, physical and psychological symptoms are interwoven together and cannot be separated.
One of the substances he named that caused physical dependence is legal and encouraged to consume in some regions/ cultures...
I started smoking cigarettes at 14 years old, switched to nicotine vapes at 24, and quit nicotine cold turkey at 28.
I also quit alcohol completely, despite being a severe alcoholic for about 4 years.
I can’t kick weed. I just can’t do it. I live in a constant state of intense anxiety without it. At one point I even disassociated- super scary feeling. Usually when I start trying to quit, I will have an outburst of anger that causes me to lose my job- sometimes it happens while I’m trying to quit, and sometimes it happens after I start again after not noticing a change despite quitting for 3 weeks.
With alcohol and nicotine I was able to tell myself that the worst of it would be over in 14 days, and it was- I can’t say the same for weed. I don’t know how long the race is.
I disagree. I quit alchol very easily yet stopping weed gives me pains, sweats and left feeling sick. If i wasnt so hooked in then i woukdnt be here. I dont have a psychological addiction. When i stop, i feel it and need it.
Physical withdrawals depend on how much weed you consume. If you have a joint occasionally then there won't be any withdrawal symptons. If you use weed a lot then stopping suddenly usually causes physical symptoms. I usually get insomnia, nausea, I sweat a lot and get headaches.

Smoking isn’t helping anymore and I honestly think it’s causing a heightened level of anxiety, which sucks lol. But the exercise, reading and learning to day trade have been a substitute. Nothing consistent, but I’m starting 🥲
I quit drinking in august 2021
Then weed October 2021
Effexor and benzos September 2022
And it was hell going thru all them around same time
I don’t miss alcohol or weed
I miss escaping and not being bored tho
And benzos were prescribed for anxiety in 2007
It’s hard without them but they’re no good for u
I haven't smoked weed as much in 3 days and I haven't even been able to stand up because my back pain hurts again and it hasn't hurt it in two years. I would also like to quit smoking weed because every time I quit I look supermodel skinny slim. With Weed I'm thick with a flat stomach hour glass shaped😢 and ppl swear it's body goals. I am so befuddled help RUclips friends and family
I only take breaks when smoking weed because i have PTSD so i know i will just fall back on weed but the breaks help me to bring down my tolerance again
Weed has destroyed my finances and affected my mental health. I decided yesterday that it was time to move on and have disposed of all related paraphernalia.
How r u now
@@ryancooper4618 not great
Emdr helps. I wish they would do more studies on this.
The nightmares when you quit are horrendous. I think that counts as a physical symptom. The sweating and nausea too.
Weed gives me anxiety
I’m on day 2-3. I have a loss of appetite, a very slight headache, I’m dreaming again and they’re crazy and vivid, feel a bit weak, anxious, sweats
Id rather live with it than without it, it does have medical benefits. Like he said though, PTSD is a big one people smoke because of. Rec smoking occasionally is ok i think
I’m sure having a lot of physical fucking withdrawals lol. Can’t sleep can’t eat can’t stop sweating 😅
It definitely causes physical withdrawal. Feeling colder or hotter than usual, sweating, increased appetite or lack of appetite and insomnia/harder to sleep and boredom/less joy.
I’d say it’s just as bad as nicotine withdrawal except you get no cravings.
People say it’s psychological but I say it’s the exact opposite.
I took benzos for 6 years every day and they were way easier to quit for me than smoking weed. The activity of smoking in itself is highly addicting and since I won’t smoke cigs anymore weed is hard to avoid but trying to quit.
Doctor, anyone that takes medications for the diseases you mentioned will have side effects of withdrawal after stopping their psychiatric medications too. Does that make them add it’s or their body os going back to relapse. The army had me on 17 medications and I’m a pharmacist by the way and always believed in modern medicine until the 17 meds dilemma. Switched to weed and no longer use any of the meds you mentioned. Still on weed for the last 6 years and no issues.
Lolllll holdddd up cause Going through these PHYSICAL along with the psychological symptoms of cold sweats, unexpected tremors, lack of sleep, no appetite, mood swings and dysphoria, I think it is very invalidating and frustrating when someone dictates it’s purely psychological. Everyone is different and it is amazing if your body does not go through such symptoms, I’m happy for you fr :) but with that said, it is not true for everyone. My personal experience, I feel miserable lol, I feel angry for no reason, I sweat and it’s so uncomfortable, I shake like I got the flu and yes cannabis can be amazing but I am learning that moderation really is key because the addiction can be so real. And mind you, there is still so much we do not know about the effects of cannabis due to it being so stigmatized, and being classified as a schedule one drug which makes research on it hard to accomplish. So although maybe for some there may not be withdrawal symptoms which is great, but for some people like me, I feel miserable and watching something like this telling me that it is purely psychological feels so invalidating because although there are psychological symptoms it’s not all there is lol trust me I feel it, I wish I could tell you that it is purely psychological but my body said nahhh😭 . So please regardless of ur experience don’t undermine the physical impacts and experience of cannabis withdrawal. Have empathy for people that are trying to acknowledge its effects and heal. It is real and if u are going through it, I believe in you, u are not alone, sending u lots of love and hugs, it’ll be worth it! Please take good care of urself and give yourself so so so much love because u deserve it and frankly u owe it to yourself! Good luck bestie! We’ll be feeling better and clear headed in no time, keep fighting the urges ❤️❤️💪😭 ps. I am not saying give it up completely lol but acknowledge that it does have effects that we can’t always control so moderation do be key😩
For those who are confused about the choice of music , the content creator wanted to show their narrative towards knowledge and people who teach , in a light thats fun !
It still doesn't fit at all. I don't see gym content or gameplay. It's just weird lol
I also want you all to remember. If you sole my last comment, please eat very healthy. Eat vegetables, eat fruits, eat meats. Because it will definitely help with the cannabid system if you are stopping, we'd.
Those that say there isn’t haven’t taken enough. I use RSO AND HELL YA WITHDRAWALS ARE REAL
I have a question...Is it normal to have panic attacks when you have withdrawal from Weed? I need to know because every time I stop cold turkey I always have panic attacks. Also when I take too much. Any advice?
Stay smokin
Stop smoking. Seek therapy, quit cold turkey and get outside help. Easier typed out than done but If you’re having this feeling like I am then you know smoking weed isn’t for your own good.
Exactly, it’s not addictive but for me depression comes back in a couple of weeks after
Lmao when i quit i got a lot of physical symptoms, not benzo levels ofc but severe night sweats and intense digestive issues couples with overwhelming fatigue
he did forget the mention all the physical symptoms that they don't mention because they just prescribe some other medication for those...
Like what?
@@jonnybaze7449 you would know if you smoked, no need to explain how roads work to someone without a car
@@XboxOriginal1321 I do. No idea what you are talking about
🤣🤣
I smoked 15 years daily, quitted 10 years, back smoking daily for 3 years. Now i quitted 2days and my aggression goes to the roof......
I don't get insomnia from quitting. Weed because I use natural food remedies to help with withdrawal. If anyone didn't know that you should definitely do that, you should definitely eat healthy and don't eat junk food. While you're quitting cannabis cause it will make the symptoms a lot worse. I said this to support y'all going through drug withdrawals god bless you
Not addicting but it still robbed me of the last 18 years of my life. Robbed me of relationships, friends, family, jobs, my military career, and countless opportunities. It pretends to be this helpful herb that doesn’t hurt you, but it makes you hurt yourself. I refuse to be an addict for one more day.. I refuse to give the dope man one more dirty dollar. I just refuse. I want my life back.
I feel like shit when i don't smoke. Cant sleep and get restless hands and legs. Pretty uncomfortable
Life without weed is awful. I lasted 3 months my depression GREW. I smoked again and cried. I knew I'd never stop agai
It’s worth being a bit bored for the rest of my life than having lung cancer
Depends on the person I’ve stop a month now I’m 44 been smoking since a teenager just get outside exercise and reconnect with your life it’s that easy STOP just STOP it ain’t that hard
Been smoking for 8 years I want to stop
I can't go to sleep without a couple hits of a bowl. I Don't smoke in the morning or at work. But I can't go without a couple before and after dinner hits. In that respect I guess it's very addictive to me. 30 years of of habitual use probably has me
That’s pretty much how I do. I may smoke during the day before a workout, but that’s it. Been three years now. I don’t plan on quitting forever, but I think I may take a month off to see what the withdrawal is like and if it makes me feel any different.
how is it going? @@gregriley8548
Definitely has physicall withdrawals. Depending on how heavy you smoke itll get harder. When i smoked 4 blunts a day and tried to quit i couldnt sleep at first then when i did the nightmares were horrible and i couldnt eat and had cold sweats. I have smoked now and it was alot easier because this time i was only smoking maybe a skinny .5-1g a day but i still had problems sleeping and eating at first with cold sweats but it wasnt as severe and after the first 3 or so days i was good and started dreaming better and actually even sleeping better than i was on it. Sleeping on weed seems easier but once you quit you notice you get better quality sleep. Started to realize i smoked out of habit and not necessarily the feeling it gave me. To each his own though
Gram a day still a decent amount. I've built up such a tolerance now that I'm literally smoking about 4g a day starting cost $ gotta quit
