To the guys who don't like the video, and who left angry comments, thank you for your engagement, page views, and shares, this video is going viral thanks to you and my daily subs are at record highs, I truly appreciate your help. With that said, if a random RUclips video is able to trigger you to the point of rage and using your valuable time to write angry comments, maybe consider that your state control and time management is not where it could be. Also, consider the idea that maybe you clicked on and watched the video because you knew it applied to you, even if subconsciously. And maybe, the reason you're angry is because the message hits close to home, and it's the same message you heard from your mom, and your teachers, and your ex girlfriends. And maybe they were right. And maybe you're in pain, and you use drugs to try and cope with that pain, but the drugs only make it worse, and you know it's a problem, but you can't face it, and so your response is denial, rage and shooting the messengers.

Thanks for the video very informative and helpful.. For me I do it for Social acceptance, everyone within my circle smokes weed. When I don’t do it I feel alone, if I’m not doing it I’m usually by myself. I’m dealing with anxiety and depression, idk if that’s in spite of the damage the weed has done to my brain or the fact that I’m taking a break from it. And it’s hard because I literally don’t know anyone that doesn’t smoke it. What you say about it killing your motivation and slowing you down is very true. I’m 23 now and had plans to finish school and get my degree while running a consulting business. That fell apart so now I’m having to basically start over my business and finish school. I still have that urge because none of my “friends” have the same goal as me and so most of my days are spent by myself. Idk what to do because I wanna be accepted but at da same time I know weed and certain ppl are slowing me down. I’d like to hear your thoughts.. also isn’t there successful ppl who admit to being very functional while smoking weed? I think of Joe Rogan, Bill Maher, Michael Phelps etc.. ?
Those guys are the exception, I also covered who I think can be an exception (but most people didn't watch the whole video). If you can keep it to once a week or twice at most on Friday/Saturday night after you handled your business, you're good, if not, you need to quit.
Quitting after 3 years. Used to love the stuff, then i started doing it 2-3 times a day. The main reason i quit is because i could not be social and talk to people if i was high or got high that day.
If you smoke weed in the morning, say goodbye to your productivity for the day. Weed should only be used at the end of the day when all responsibilities are finished. Too many people let weed become their happiness and it will leave you with nothing in the end if you do that.
I couldn’t agree with you more, i’ve been smoking for 7 years and i’ve finally stopped it’s been 3 weeks and my life is getting better and better by the day.
Ive started to look at weed as a reward.... Nothing like a good smoke after a killer gym workout or a long day of getting schoolwork done. I have a no weed before 9pm policy that i abide by now..... When used responsibly its fine but when you start waking and baking like I was then it needs to be corrected.
Reward? I used to look at it like that also. But when life gets REAL....when job openings demand urine samples etc.....when bills kick in heavy...when children are dependant on us....It goes from self rewarding...too just plain selfish.
I smoked right before watching this video and I can honestly say it started shifting some gears in my head. I used to smoke occasionally but it snowballed into daily wake and bakes which has killed my productivity & drained my bank account over the last 2 years (about $11k CAD). This video made me do a lot of self reflecting, I think it's finally time to change.
It depends on the person. I graduated with a 4 year STEM degree from university while also working a part time job and running a small online business being a daily smoker. I live in a legal state so there aren't many legal or social consequences. To each his own as long as you can get shit done.
Revolutionary Lifestyle Design I have taken breaks before but I get worse sleep which effects productivity. I think it comes down to personal chemistry but a agree that for most people it can be detrimental unless its for a medical condition.
I smoked weed daily/every few hours for about 10 years straight, and strictly dabs within the past year to be "cleaner." I quit 2 months ago and it was the best decision I've made, for many reasons. The final straw was when I had a blood test and was notified that my thyroid was functioning poorly, and my entire autoimmune system was starting to suffer. Well, it stayed there, and I had no idea what it was. Low thyroid function causes problems like anxiety, depression, hair loss, weight gain, inflammation, you name it, and I didn't want to be on a prescription medication for the rest of my life. I stopped weed for a month and everything returned to normal, and it was only after that I found studies linking low thyroid function among weed smokers to THC. I didn't even notice the damage I was doing myself until my doctor became involved. It's easy to miss the harm being done without an outside perspective, especially because the damage is done slowly overtime.
I can totally relate.I got fat, junky, lost money and failed out of school. Weed definitely was something that was in my way of true happiness and success. The only way I was able to stop was when I detoxed my body for 2 weeks prayed for healing from the burden of weed... then when I was offered weed I DID smoke it again.. But had a really serious allergic reaction to it and broke out in really bad hives felt like fire of hell in my body and had to go to the ER. Since then I hate it and won't even touch it. Love this video and keep up all the positive work. I can tell you are so over Weed and will get plenty of Blessings!
I'm 19 and been smoking since 14 and let me tell you. I've been coming to a realization that I have no motivation. I've been in the stock market and trying to get into opening a business and it's so difficult to have energy to finish any assignment. Today is my second day that I'm stopping. Have incredibly high urges to smoke right now. Going to try to hold off.
Hey men I really appreciate this video you are 100000% percent correct am 29 and am starting my journey sobre ,my motivation is my health and that i don’t wanna be a bumb
Thanks for this video man! I listen to it everyday on my ride home. Reason being is because I found myself buying 2 grams everyday like clock work. This is a constant reminder to quit that shit and focus!
weed is my greatest challenge I've ever faced in life. I remembered it was the best thing; helped with being self aware and open minded. I'm starting to think that was just me going to experiences in my life that molded me as the person I've became and the person I will be in the future. I have finally decided to put down the weed; this time its for good im tired of having my life depicted by this leaf. Im tired of having my judgement clouded by this. Ive always knew it was because of Mary Jane. I just couldnt stop cause i was always around it. since me and my friends had made a pac to stop im never going back but i cant speak for my friends. i already see this glooming cloud around them that says they wont receive the same fate as me. That they are not gonna change at least not anytime soon. I guess I value more of what my life should be or am self- aware of whats going on. Only time will tell if I've truly can resist this temptation I burden so much. Kinda just venting cause nobody understands / just dont see it as i do.
Weed can put you in a state of depression.It will also make you lose focus on what’s important ,most people don’t smoke the weed they let the weed smoke them.It is a drug and you can be addicted I been there done that.Make sure all your responsibilities are handled before you think about putting a blunt to your mouth
Wow. That’s not the weed, dude. That’s a personal addiction. If you can’t control yourself with substances and they interferes with your commitments and obligations, you’ll have to be wary of any of them. Even Pepsi!
Hey man, i dont know who are or where you're from but this video is awesome. The whole world is in controversy whether Ghanja is harmful or not. Im from 🇪🇹Ethiopia im 25 yrs of age and have sold for a while and been smoking weed for over 7 years now. A lot have changed since i started smoking weed and have been fooling around ever since. Since i started getting high i quit cigarette cuz i thought it was nasty and harmful, cigarette addiction didn't bother me that much. I used to think that weed was harmless despite the post-smoke effects but through experience i've learned that it slowly kills a person without him knowing. Its not addictive but it highly makes the individual dependent on the substance. kills your motivation. The media have made it unclear why weed is hated among society and entertainers nowadays put it on screen to enhance their media coverage and poisoning the youth. Somebody had to expose it and my friend you have made your point. I liked the way you put out all the things you've said and its all true and real. You should make this vid go viral and save the generation. I would also like if there was a conference video for victims of marijuana to share their stories cuz we'd learn a lot from eachother
Personally smoking to me is a way to relax for a small amount of time and be in a better mood when I need it, don’t let weed get in front or your studies or other things that you are looking to complete.
35 and I can attest what you’re saying is true. I won’t regret what I did because I can’t change it, but I’m behind because of it. Much harder to get going in life at 35 than 25. Thanks for the vid dude, thanks for giving me more motivation to succeed without it!
I’m the same age and I quit 5 times. Every time I stopped I either moved to another state, got ripped at the gym, or had a new career opportunity. Quit 6/1 I’m moving to Miami 8/1. 😎once you get used to fact your gonna be better not worse it’s motivation. Good luck sir stay strong
I’m 17 and have been smoking weed every day for the past year, I decided to quit 3 days ago after realising how much weed traps you inside your own head and lose sense of reality, 3 days in feel like shit just down n depressed but gotta push on.
I'm 12 years old and have PTSD and was emotionally, physically, and verbally abused and when I was abused I was 3 years old. It was my step dad named Tim and when it was my birthday and I turned 4 he woke me up at midnight because I lied about something (I don't remember lying but I might've I was only 3) and took me out by a barrel with fire like the thing you see homeless people standing around in like gta and made me go open my present one at a time and play with them for like 10 seconds and then he made me throw everything into the fire. Not trying to make u feel bad for me I don't like when people do that... But because of that and instances such as not eating a soggy sandwich and having my face smashed into the wall and having to sleep in a wooden chair because of it... And the very next day he took me and my brother to daycare and said "tell them you fell down the stairs" we got out and he drove away... They asked what happened and I told them I fell down the stairs because I was scared of him but they didn't believe me and called the cops. Anyway I get to smoke medical weed with my mom who also was abused and has been raped twice... Medical marijuana keeps us sane and when we don't have I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep. Point is without it and 5 different pills I have suicidal thoughts.
Hey young brother, you have a tragic story and I really feel for you, with that said I don't believe weed is the way, especially at your age, and I don't think that it's legal for you that young even medicinally. Both you and your mom need professional help, I hope you can find a counsellor that will help you for free. I also hope you take the time to watch my other videos (the age appropriate ones) videos on how to be happier and how to live better and getting your mind as strong as you can, it will be hard but you can do it if you commit, even at your age, be strong for you and your mom and stay strong, you're young enough that you still have your whole life ahead of you, and if you can get the strength you can create incredible change for yourself and your mom, God bless young brother.
‘It took a lot from me and gave me nothing’ damn dude, that’s some REAL talk right there, going through some pretty bad marijuana withdrawals at the moment, I quit 5 days ago and today is the worst day, feel dreadful, but your vid helped man, thankyou for sharing
You know why I quit? Back in my early 20s I use to buy an eighth every week for $50. $50 X 52 (weeks in a year) = $2,600 That's a lot of money to just waste on something that you don't NEED.
Today will be my second day without weed after 5 years of nonstop smoking. The first day sucked, I was so fucking bored and depressed and my video games felt so boring. When I woke up this morning and got in the shower, I was amazed at how clear-headed and energized I felt. I felt like I could actually go outside and do something productive, not sit in my room and play video games all day. I think I'm going to sign up for a gym membership now and start doing a lot of running. Its time for a big change in my life, and I encourage everyone else watching this to consider if weed is really worth it or if its just a detriment to your life. If you're going to keep smoking, I highly recommend refraining from smoking until the end of the day, or to smoke only to reward yourself for a day of hard work. Don't let it control your life.
such a great video man, thank you for taking the time. it absolutely helps. i've been through several of these videos tonight and am super motivated to go to this marijuana-anonymous meeting tomorrow and start getting the fuck off of this shit. 5 years heavy use several bowls a day from a bong... i have put weed before doing every single task, work, eating, sexual interaction, working out, everything. and i have noticed my cognitive abilities diminish. i am not who i used to be anymore and i need to regain myself. again, thank you.
I dont believe weed is a true drug, but i stopped smoking because just like anything to much will make you unmotivated to many habits make you broke. if your a working man how you going to get ahead worrying about a drug test.
a really big pill to swallow as a chronic user, especially when everyone around you smokes. I've always contemplated the pros and cons (psychological/emotional) but really realized it's time to quit while on mushrooms. Thank you for this video!
thanks for the share. I agree with pretty much everything you said. For anyone who smokes weed responsibly and has not had it adversely effect their lives, I understand how crazy it might sound for someone to say there is a link between marijuana and extreme mental illness. But from personal experience (both smoking large amounts of weed and taking time off) I know that it has been wreaking havoc on my anxiety disorder.
I get paranoid as shit on weed. I havent smoked it since I was 15, and in fact if a friend tries to pressure me to do it I will cut them out of my life
Revolutionary Lifestyle Design Thank You brother you have the purest intentions this is my last chance to play college soccer I am 24 but not getting any younger and richer.
Potheads pride themselves waaay too much.. I used to smoke constantly and I was obsessed with it.. I seen all the good it did but ignored how unproductive it made me. It so longer serves me so I'm taking your video as a sign from my guides to quit it for a good while. I will smoke here and there later in life... maybe maybe not I don't know for sure.
I respect the word on it. I disagree that not using it for the huge variables it can help. But this will definitely help those who don't understand how to use drugs as tools.
Well that's what you are? Outcasted from our circle. Deal with it, crybaby. Oh YOU had bad experienxes, so WE should just STOP?? Manage your OWN journey, pal. NOT, everyone else's.
That's not true I smoke weed and I like girls who smoke weed and girls who dont smoke weed you guys are stereotyping potheads you guys do know a lot of people are just dumb
Yeah it's definitely the opposite. I agree with the first sentence but the rest is absolutely not true. I'm not sure where you live but I've never experienced that before.
I really respect the advice brother thanks, Im 21 and Im 2 months clean way more motivated with way more energy and im starting a small business, still feeling huge cravings but am not planing on touching in again
Thank you for this video. I am 22, and have been smoking ritualistically since I was 12 years old. My fiance and I had a serious discussion, and I realized that I spent an entire decade of my life high. It was a huge wake up call. We smashed all of our bongs and pipes, and threw away all paraphenalia. I woke up the next day feeling free. I know the tendency is to think that its no big deal, smoking pot is passed off as something that people just do, and I see so many young people, some of whom ive been close to, waste all their time, money, energy, and thought on smoking weed. Its always debated, and people pass it off as a no big deal thing, but marijuana IS addictive. People try so hard to defend their addiction to it. But if you're like me, and if you feel guilty smoking, and wonder why you get high all the time, and think that you can be doing so much more if you didnt, GIVE IT UP! Please, it will be the greatest thing you've ever done.
I’ve lost a very important opportunity because of weed today. I easily could’ve stopped and slowed myself down. But this feeling of devastation, disappointment and embarrassment towards myself is beyond overwhelming. More overwhelming than my entire time frame of smoking. If you can stop, please do. Don’t ever think that you can’t get caught or nail the job you desired. I’m so freaking destroyed now....
Moderation is key. Weed isn’t the problem because weed isn’t technically “good” or “bad”. It’s the impulsivity of the user. Plenty of people are highly functional and also smoke weed in moderation without it having a negative impact on their life, including myself. However I do understand and agree with what this guy is saying, as I used to be a pothead myself as a young teen and it definitely has its consequences and took a quite a toll on my mental health. I’m lucky I can still enjoy it in moderation, but weed is definitely not for everyone.
I'm 24, just quit smoking a month ago for real this time. Been smoking since I was 17. So grateful to be done with that shit, I agree. It literally did nothing good for my life.
I commend you for addressing this, many people are in denial. The #1 thing I always do is ask clients how much do you spend on your substance of choice per week, month, year? That alone made me stop drinking so much. Alcohol puts you out the same way. Even if you don't have a habit, it slows you down financially and physically the next day after recovering. Plus the calories in alcohol, the appetite increase in weed. Cost for legal fees, going on vacation... you addressed all the right reasons. On another note I have a question. Every time I watch your video I keep seeing ads about being an affiliate. My website does not have links to amazon, Walmart or other advertisers. The ad before your video the guy claims he earned over 100K in 45 days in affiliate click ads. Do you recommend it or is it a waste of time?
I’m 19 turning 20 in August. I’ve been smoking ganja since 16. Lately I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to quit. For my new born baby , my baby momma, and to get a better job. I’m currently in the process of trying to quit but all my friends smoke so it’s extremely hard because it’s around me . But I am determined, & also feel like I’m slowly growing out of the habit. I will stop completely one day
I quit a week ago got a good call from dit (commercial diving school) that was my wake up call to quit weed forever I realized afther all these years smoking since middle school I wasted alotta of productivity and determined to get my life on track
Man I'm 25 and I hear you, no uni degree just working dead end full time jobs and smoking weed all the time. I feel like I've missed my shot at a good life and my life will be hard as shit from now on because of that. Ah man. Better stop now
I’m 27 and started smoking when I was 14. Pretty much been smoking that whole time and I just wanna be done. Done done done!!! But unfortunately I just couldn’t even imagine what my life would be like without it. I’m not in denial like most, I’m very well aware of my problem. I need to grow the fuck up and stop wasting money on this bullshit but just feel so hopeless. Literally waiting on a text to get some bud today while I type this. 😕
I’ve stole money from my mom just to get high, even reached the paranoia phase. Once heard voices in my head for a good hour after getting really high, of course I’m still hopelessly addicted to the substance but hey what a inspirational video!
I'm a medical cannabis user. Not only do I have a limit of how much I'm allowed to consume a month, but I'm being taught to do it responsibly almost every step of the way. I almost never smoke weed during the day or before 4-5pm. Not because I can't, there are strains that are available to me with no THC or very little, but high on CBD; which means I can function, but still give some of my symptoms relief. However, I'm not there yet in treatment and the strains I do right now are for night time use(very potent), which means if I smoked them during the day I'd be in a similar state you were in...not as productive. I'm no longer depressed and I'm earning more money every year than I have ever before, even if you include the cost of Cannabis(which is high). Cannabis saved my life and gave me reasons to keep living it, when I saw no hope. Cannabis has completely cured some of my phobias permanently and my PTSD symptoms are finally being managed properly. *Just the fact that I can sleep without having nightmares has improved my overall quality of life DRAMATICALLY.* I however agree with you on one point. People below the age of 25 shouldn't smoke cannabis; simply because their brains haven't finished developing.
I Lost a pretty ass red head, curly,green eyed girl to pot. Lol but I'm thinking about quiting now because in retrospect, i wasnt rrally enjoying her instesd on Mary Jane.
I understand what you are saying but that’s not always the case. There are cases where people do just waste their time doing it but there are also responsible stoners who can control themselves. Your argument can also be applied with alcohol if you drink a lot very often then it can fuck you up but a couple drinks at the end of the day or to relax or hang out then it’s not really a problem.
Thanks for this, especially the psych info. Weed started a domino effect of my dreams crashing down. I don't care what anybody says its addictive and I'm sure that's increased when people start young.
Love The Video Bro Im 18 And Ive Tried To Quit Like 5 Times Never Getting Past 78 Hours Weed IS Dangerous Hearing Stories Of People Feeling Exactly How I Felt Is Great Motivation...Here We Go Again...Day 1
Thanks for sharing your story bro. I know exactly what you’re saying. Been there done that! We can’t afford to let our lives pass us by in a cloud of smoke. Any vice done daily will have its consequences.
A lot of what you're saying is true, but i feel we must be careful not to trade one vice for another. Example weed for money(also a vice) It's best to strive for a life without any vices. Anyway thanks for the vid and all the best.
Really want to check out your how to sell course, idk people are all upset that you are just being 100% honest one thing you said that got me is it slows us down, I smoke every day all day which im trying to stop like u said u would sit in ur room smoking weed and cigs and thats what im doing eating shitty doing fuck all barely doing shit for my business and yeah i can do stuff while high but no matter what im not as efficient as when im sober.
I hear you man, I've been there. You just have to make the mindset shift to becoming all about being a boss player in the game of life, and living for achieving and winning on all levels. That will get you put of the short term pleasure cycle you're in now.
I'm trying to quit too man,I just got hired at a great job and I've been through at least 3 different major named companies which I all smoked weed in. I feel this time I need to stop to unlock my full potential at work and keep the good job. Any tips or advice on getting through this? I smoke only once a day/ everyday at night because I feel it helps me sleep and otherwise I feel like staying up late.
Goddamn I’m cringing so hard right now. I used to be the stereotypical stoner like you, I cut it down but still do it but today is the day I give weed up. I notice every day I Chief some ganja I waste that day. It’s gonna be hard though, my best friends a dealer and always provides for free.
Bro, its been a month and life is amazing. Dreams came back insanely and vividly which can be either good or bad. I'm sharper than ever with a combo of intermittent fasting, cold showers, meditation, no weed and sexual release only once a week. Trust me weed is retarded, tasks I used to think were difficult that took up the whole day take only 2-3 hours now. I don't fuck around with my time as much which is good. Although I started vaping because I needed to blow some type of smoke lol, but that is still limited relative to how much others vape. My relationships are a lot stronger because I put effort into them now.
I am going to smoke for my birthday in 4 days though. Then I'm not touching it (not like I have a choice as I'm starting my paralegal internship soon anyways lol).
And Will, thank you for making this video at the perfect time. One month ago I was debating the whole weed thing seeing as my life was ok but nothing near it's potential, then you came along and dropped the video at a perfect time. I'm not going to front, I'm proud as fuck since I stayed true to what I said and didn't touch a single joint/blunt/dab pen despite constantly offered. I have a right to relish on my perseverance and you helped me take that stand.
Yeah it’s definitely cool to smoke a bit, I think some people are just more irresponsible when it comes to weed or any other substances. They tend to let it control their life, as long as you’re on good terms with yourself and life you’ll be good.
Wayne Payne98 lmao ive smoked since i was 12 never had any "audio hallucinations" or anything bad happen to me at all i can go weeks without smoking after smoking every day no problem i usually just smoke after i work out or am busy for a while or else i will eat alot of food and i will get lazy but i own a legal marijuana buisness so i quit smoking like i used to, but no side effects no hearing shit. Im always on my hustle and do a lot of paperwork and counting money and meeting with owners about doing buisness
Yeah I agree that weed in moderation at the end of the day for once a week, once every 2 weeks, or once a month is okay if you don't go off the rails with it. I find it is really helpful for checking in and if anything in my subconscious mind is bothering me then I'll process and solve it. And it is fun...an 1/8th lasts me about half a year. I went without weed for the past 2 years when I was in Asia (other than smoking it socially if offered at a party a couple times). The key is moderation and doing it responsibly. I have discipline to eat healthy even when high. Sounds like you really overdid it in college lol...but maybe that rock bottom was exactly what you needed to get in gear.
If and ONLY IF what you say is true, then kudos to you (and I mean it). But very very very few stoners would admit that the majority waste endless days away as they constantly deal with the "overdosing" which really just means that you smoke more than necessary and now the person becomes unproductive and wastes entire days just lazy as crap.
I’m really struggling to stop weed. I feel like sober me and stoned me are completely different and I feel like it is holding me back. I rely on weed to eat which is the only thing that keeps me on it. I feel super depressed and reclusive and want this to stop. Any tips? (I quit bud once for 8 months but am struggling to do it again)
Yep check out my article and video on how to quit anything, you can also check out my article and video on how to quit your video game addiction and replace it with weed. And make today the day you make it happen.
Goals must be bigger than drugs! Im currently 18 and i have decided to quit daily use, i used to enjoy weed when i would take it every 3weeks or so but then i got caught up in the rastafari way of life and long story short started smoking everyday, the only productive thing i did was workout but the rest of the day i would do nothing significant and always hate the person i was and be insecure.. I am deciding to quit smoking weed, but edibles still have a place in my life but i will focus on advancing my life more and as a reward for hard work i will get stoned as fuck, its only fair in my mind, plus i feel edibles are a more natural way to induce cannabis and because its a slower climb its very fun, and i say it from experience because i had very satisfying times back then when i would do it ocassionaly. But i've really learned what weed is for me over the years and i believe if i treat it with the respect i used to treat it with it could do me wonders!
Lol. All run by the hells angels too, if they found out you tried to sell weed in Montreal, even small amounts on college campuses, you'd get a warning the first time, but after that, bad news.

Idk what to do because I wanna be accepted but at da same time I know weed and certain ppl are slowing me down. I’d like to hear your thoughts.. also isn’t there successful ppl who admit to being very functional while smoking weed? I think of Joe Rogan, Bill Maher, Michael Phelps etc.. ?
I just disagree with you is all. Congratulations on your new subscribers and views.
Thank you
Those guys are the exception, I also covered who I think can be an exception (but most people didn't watch the whole video). If you can keep it to once a week or twice at most on Friday/Saturday night after you handled your business, you're good, if not, you need to quit.
Brady deal keep smoking that weed heavily and after few years u finna agree with every wordof him.. 😀
What I got out of this video is you hit a age you have to decide what habits are best for your future
Definitely, and that age is the age you are right now
Quitting after 3 years. Used to love the stuff, then i started doing it 2-3 times a day. The main reason i quit is because i could not be social and talk to people if i was high or got high that day.
Great stuff man
If you smoke weed in the morning, say goodbye to your productivity for the day. Weed should only be used at the end of the day when all responsibilities are finished. Too many people let weed become their happiness and it will leave you with nothing in the end if you do that.
I couldn’t agree with you more, i’ve been smoking for 7 years and i’ve finally stopped it’s been 3 weeks and my life is getting better and better by the day.
Ive started to look at weed as a reward.... Nothing like a good smoke after a killer gym workout or a long day of getting schoolwork done. I have a no weed before 9pm policy that i abide by now..... When used responsibly its fine but when you start waking and baking like I was then it needs to be corrected.
Thanks for your input Simplex
Simplex i concur
Simplex until you get a career, children, a mortgage
Simplex f
Reward? I used to look at it like that also.
But when life gets REAL....when job openings demand urine samples etc.....when bills kick in heavy...when children are dependant on us....It goes from self rewarding...too just plain selfish.
I smoked right before watching this video and I can honestly say it started shifting some gears in my head. I used to smoke occasionally but it snowballed into daily wake and bakes which has killed my productivity & drained my bank account over the last 2 years (about $11k CAD). This video made me do a lot of self reflecting, I think it's finally time to change.
It depends on the person. I graduated with a 4 year STEM degree from university while also working a part time job and running a small online business being a daily smoker. I live in a legal state so there aren't many legal or social consequences. To each his own as long as you can get shit done.
Good for you, but have you taken time off to see how much more functional you'd be?

I have taken breaks before but I get worse sleep which effects productivity. I think it comes down to personal chemistry but a agree that for most people it can be detrimental unless its for a medical condition.
Imagine your potential if your mind was clear of that drug. You would have accomplished much more
amen brother
Touche bub touché
I vowed to not smoke weed until I get my shit together (income, social circle, social skills, healthy fit body) long way to go but it'll be worth it.
Good stuff, or you can just vow not to for good if it's been a problem in the past.
I smoked weed daily/every few hours for about 10 years straight, and strictly dabs within the past year to be "cleaner." I quit 2 months ago and it was the best decision I've made, for many reasons. The final straw was when I had a blood test and was notified that my thyroid was functioning poorly, and my entire autoimmune system was starting to suffer. Well, it stayed there, and I had no idea what it was. Low thyroid function causes problems like anxiety, depression, hair loss, weight gain, inflammation, you name it, and I didn't want to be on a prescription medication for the rest of my life. I stopped weed for a month and everything returned to normal, and it was only after that I found studies linking low thyroid function among weed smokers to THC. I didn't even notice the damage I was doing myself until my doctor became involved. It's easy to miss the harm being done without an outside perspective, especially because the damage is done slowly overtime.
Young generation listen to this guy he is giving you some real life lessons. Take it serious Good talk man!!
Thank you brother
100% agree with you. Weed is EXTREMELY tricky and insidious (proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with very harmful effects.)
Definitely
I would spend 300 dollars a month on weed I stopped and I'm much better.
Great to hear Toribot
That's insane
Justin Murray
XD yeah
Quitting today ! Wish me luck ! I know I got this ! Better my self for my family!
Great to hear, stay strong and focused
10 months without smoking here , good luck
Solediux I went 10 months and relapse
Great stuff
That's alright man, make the decision to quit again today
I can totally relate.I got fat, junky, lost money and failed out of school. Weed definitely was something that was in my way of true happiness and success. The only way I was able to stop was when I detoxed my body for 2 weeks prayed for healing from the burden of weed... then when I was offered weed I DID smoke it again.. But had a really serious allergic reaction to it and broke out in really bad hives felt like fire of hell in my body and had to go to the ER. Since then I hate it and won't even touch it. Love this video and keep up all the positive work. I can tell you are so over Weed and will get plenty of Blessings!
Thank you so much for this video I am 21 years old and today I’m giving up weed dec 14th 2018
If you wanna do something badly enough you’ll find a way. If not you’ll find an excuse. One or the other.
Very true
Love the video dude!!! haven't smoked in 3 months.When ever I get the urge to smoke I just watch videos like this to keep me inspired.
I'm 19 and been smoking since 14 and let me tell you. I've been coming to a realization that I have no motivation. I've been in the stock market and trying to get into opening a business and it's so difficult to have energy to finish any assignment. Today is my second day that I'm stopping. Have incredibly high urges to smoke right now. Going to try to hold off.
Good stuff man, just keep saying no to those cravings, they can't hurt you unless you give in
cannabis helps loads of people. as long as you use it responsibly.
SomeRandomWhiteGuy how many people have it killed
Jr Miss Not By Killing Them Bro Its Deeper Than That If You Don’t Understand You’re Not Going To But It Does Harm Also Coming from A Pothead
none
sure.. weed like booze is not for everyone
my name is catarina .. and im portuguese. if youre trying to roast someone at least do it well.
much love
Hey men I really appreciate this video you are 100000% percent correct am 29 and am starting my journey sobre ,my motivation is my health and that i don’t wanna be a bumb
It takes balls to share your journey but it's appreciated. I quit and I'm feeling great.
Thanks for this video man! I listen to it everyday on my ride home. Reason being is because I found myself buying 2 grams everyday like clock work. This is a constant reminder to quit that shit and focus!
My pleasure, stay strong, today is another day to quit
weed is my greatest challenge I've ever faced in life. I remembered it was the best thing; helped with being self aware and open minded. I'm starting to think that was just me going to experiences in my life that molded me as the person I've became and the person I will be in the future. I have finally decided to put down the weed; this time its for good im tired of having my life depicted by this leaf. Im tired of having my judgement clouded by this. Ive always knew it was because of Mary Jane. I just couldnt stop cause i was always around it. since me and my friends had made a pac to stop im never going back but i cant speak for my friends. i already see this glooming cloud around them that says they wont receive the same fate as me. That they are not gonna change at least not anytime soon. I guess I value more of what my life should be or am self- aware of whats going on. Only time will tell if I've truly can resist this temptation I burden so much. Kinda just venting cause nobody understands / just dont see it as i do.
Good stuff and getting yourself away from people that smoke will help you a lot
Real talk my dude. Some good hard advice. I went through a lot of the same negative experiences back when I smoked all the time.
Thank you man, appreciate your support and good stuff
Weed can put you in a state of depression.It will also make you lose focus on what’s important ,most people don’t smoke the weed they let the weed smoke them.It is a drug and you can be addicted I been there done that.Make sure all your responsibilities are handled before you think about putting a blunt to your mouth
Wow. That’s not the weed, dude. That’s a personal addiction. If you can’t control yourself with substances and they interferes
with your commitments and obligations, you’ll have to be wary of any of them. Even Pepsi!
speaking facts brother! appreciate the video
Hey man, i dont know who are or where you're from but this video is awesome. The whole world is in controversy whether Ghanja is harmful or not. Im from 🇪🇹Ethiopia im 25 yrs of age and have sold for a while and been smoking weed for over 7 years now. A lot have changed since i started smoking weed and have been fooling around ever since. Since i started getting high i quit cigarette cuz i thought it was nasty and harmful, cigarette addiction didn't bother me that much. I used to think that weed was harmless despite the post-smoke effects but through experience i've learned that it slowly kills a person without him knowing. Its not addictive but it highly makes the individual dependent on the substance. kills your motivation. The media have made it unclear why weed is hated among society and entertainers nowadays put it on screen to enhance their media coverage and poisoning the youth. Somebody had to expose it and my friend you have made your point. I liked the way you put out all the things you've said and its all true and real. You should make this vid go viral and save the generation. I would also like if there was a conference video for victims of marijuana to share their stories cuz we'd learn a lot from eachother
Personally smoking to me is a way to relax for a small amount of time and be in a better mood when I need it, don’t let weed get in front or your studies or other things that you are looking to complete.
35 and I can attest what you’re saying is true. I won’t regret what I did because I can’t change it, but I’m behind because of it. Much harder to get going in life at 35 than 25. Thanks for the vid dude, thanks for giving me more motivation to succeed without it!
I’m the same age and I quit 5 times. Every time I stopped I either moved to another state, got ripped at the gym, or had a new career opportunity. Quit 6/1 I’m moving to Miami 8/1. 😎once you get used to fact your gonna be better not worse it’s motivation. Good luck sir stay strong
4775willy it’s interesting you say that, because I feel I’m on the edge of something happening and I can feel it, just need to break through.
My pleasure
Not surprisingly man, because your potential was one it
Stay on it and you will, you'll be releasing all that potential that was being held back by drugs
I’m 17 and have been smoking weed every day for the past year, I decided to quit 3 days ago after realising how much weed traps you inside your own head and lose sense of reality, 3 days in feel like shit just down n depressed but gotta push on.
Stay strong and poker through young brother
I'm 12 years old and have PTSD and was emotionally, physically, and verbally abused and when I was abused I was 3 years old. It was my step dad named Tim and when it was my birthday and I turned 4 he woke me up at midnight because I lied about something (I don't remember lying but I might've I was only 3) and took me out by a barrel with fire like the thing you see homeless people standing around in like gta and made me go open my present one at a time and play with them for like 10 seconds and then he made me throw everything into the fire. Not trying to make u feel bad for me I don't like when people do that... But because of that and instances such as not eating a soggy sandwich and having my face smashed into the wall and having to sleep in a wooden chair because of it... And the very next day he took me and my brother to daycare and said "tell them you fell down the stairs" we got out and he drove away... They asked what happened and I told them I fell down the stairs because I was scared of him but they didn't believe me and called the cops. Anyway I get to smoke medical weed with my mom who also was abused and has been raped twice... Medical marijuana keeps us sane and when we don't have I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep. Point is without it and 5 different pills I have suicidal thoughts.
Hey young brother, you have a tragic story and I really feel for you, with that said I don't believe weed is the way, especially at your age, and I don't think that it's legal for you that young even medicinally. Both you and your mom need professional help, I hope you can find a counsellor that will help you for free. I also hope you take the time to watch my other videos (the age appropriate ones) videos on how to be happier and how to live better and getting your mind as strong as you can, it will be hard but you can do it if you commit, even at your age, be strong for you and your mom and stay strong, you're young enough that you still have your whole life ahead of you, and if you can get the strength you can create incredible change for yourself and your mom, God bless young brother.
You nailed the mental health thing dude.... lot of times I’ve tripped out and have stepped over that mental line... horrible experience... awesome vid
‘It took a lot from me and gave me nothing’ damn dude, that’s some REAL talk right there, going through some pretty bad marijuana withdrawals at the moment, I quit 5 days ago and today is the worst day, feel dreadful, but your vid helped man, thankyou for sharing
Good stuff Charlie stay strong
You know why I quit? Back in my early 20s I use to buy an eighth every week for $50.
$50 X 52 (weeks in a year) = $2,600
That's a lot of money to just waste on something that you don't NEED.
Good stuff Nick, and very true
Today will be my second day without weed after 5 years of nonstop smoking. The first day sucked, I was so fucking bored and depressed and my video games felt so boring. When I woke up this morning and got in the shower, I was amazed at how clear-headed and energized I felt. I felt like I could actually go outside and do something productive, not sit in my room and play video games all day. I think I'm going to sign up for a gym membership now and start doing a lot of running. Its time for a big change in my life, and I encourage everyone else watching this to consider if weed is really worth it or if its just a detriment to your life. If you're going to keep smoking, I highly recommend refraining from smoking until the end of the day, or to smoke only to reward yourself for a day of hard work. Don't let it control your life.
Great video bro, these help
such a great video man, thank you for taking the time. it absolutely helps. i've been through several of these videos tonight and am super motivated to go to this marijuana-anonymous meeting tomorrow and start getting the fuck off of this shit. 5 years heavy use several bowls a day from a bong... i have put weed before doing every single task, work, eating, sexual interaction, working out, everything. and i have noticed my cognitive abilities diminish. i am not who i used to be anymore and i need to regain myself. again, thank you.
Thanks Anthony, my pleasure, and great stuff
I dont believe weed is a true drug, but i stopped smoking because just like anything to much will make you unmotivated to many habits make you broke. if your a working man how you going to get ahead worrying about a drug test.
Good stuff Freddy
Great video man!! Really hope Teens listin to this
Dude I relate to this exactly like you do, that's crazy.
Thank you so much for your life lessons and for brining us into your shoes and your ieyes. 👍🏼
My pleasure
a really big pill to swallow as a chronic user, especially when everyone around you smokes. I've always contemplated the pros and cons (psychological/emotional) but really realized it's time to quit while on mushrooms. Thank you for this video!
My pleasure
Just disovered your channel and love it! Thanks for sharing! Your message resonates with me. I am in the process of quitting it for good.
Thanks so much
thanks for the share. I agree with pretty much everything you said. For anyone who smokes weed responsibly and has not had it adversely effect their lives, I understand how crazy it might sound for someone to say there is a link between marijuana and extreme mental illness. But from personal experience (both smoking large amounts of weed and taking time off) I know that it has been wreaking havoc on my anxiety disorder.
Thanks David
I get paranoid as shit on weed. I havent smoked it since I was 15, and in fact if a friend tries to pressure me to do it I will cut them out of my life
Good stuff man
I quit for the 3rd time last friday after 6 years total i cant sleep and cant eat I'm sweating like hell lately but I'll get better
Good stuff Karl, stay strong
Revolutionary Lifestyle Design Thank You brother you have the purest intentions this is my last chance to play college soccer I am 24 but not getting any younger and richer.
Potheads pride themselves waaay too much.. I used to smoke constantly and I was obsessed with it.. I seen all the good it did but ignored how unproductive it made me. It so longer serves me so I'm taking your video as a sign from my guides to quit it for a good while. I will smoke here and there later in life... maybe maybe not I don't know for sure.
Good stuff Shanara, happy to hear that :)
I respect the word on it. I disagree that not using it for the huge variables it can help. But this will definitely help those who don't understand how to use drugs as tools.
i love this video. kept it all the way 100
A+ video bruh 😎 on point!
Thank you
The only problem with weed is the potheads themselves. If you tell them that you don’t smoke weed, they treat you like an outcast.
That's true
Amax with the Facts get outta here
Well that's what you are? Outcasted from our circle. Deal with it, crybaby. Oh YOU had bad experienxes, so WE should just STOP?? Manage your OWN journey, pal. NOT, everyone else's.
That's not true I smoke weed and I like girls who smoke weed and girls who dont smoke weed you guys are stereotyping potheads you guys do know a lot of people are just dumb
Yeah it's definitely the opposite. I agree with the first sentence but the rest is absolutely not true. I'm not sure where you live but I've never experienced that before.
I really respect the advice brother thanks, Im 21 and Im 2 months clean way more motivated with way more energy and im starting a small business, still feeling huge cravings but am not planing on touching in again
Great work, stay strong, cravings will slow and go away completely over time when you keep starving the monster it will eventually die
Thank you for making this video
my pleasure
Thank you for this video. I am 22, and have been smoking ritualistically since I was 12 years old. My fiance and I had a serious discussion, and I realized that I spent an entire decade of my life high. It was a huge wake up call. We smashed all of our bongs and pipes, and threw away all paraphenalia. I woke up the next day feeling free. I know the tendency is to think that its no big deal, smoking pot is passed off as something that people just do, and I see so many young people, some of whom ive been close to, waste all their time, money, energy, and thought on smoking weed. Its always debated, and people pass it off as a no big deal thing, but marijuana IS addictive. People try so hard to defend their addiction to it. But if you're like me, and if you feel guilty smoking, and wonder why you get high all the time, and think that you can be doing so much more if you didnt, GIVE IT UP! Please, it will be the greatest thing you've ever done.
Great stuff zoe
I agree 100% and i feel the same way about the relationship with weed, and Im in 20's
I’ve lost a very important opportunity because of weed today. I easily could’ve stopped and slowed myself down. But this feeling of devastation, disappointment and embarrassment towards myself is beyond overwhelming. More overwhelming than my entire time frame of smoking. If you can stop, please do. Don’t ever think that you can’t get caught or nail the job you desired. I’m so freaking destroyed now....
Very true, with that said you can get it together man, make today the day.
you actually made a lot of key points in this video. thumbs up to you man i agree with everything you said tbh
Thanks My man
Moderation is key. Weed isn’t the problem because weed isn’t technically “good” or “bad”. It’s the impulsivity of the user. Plenty of people are highly functional and also smoke weed in moderation without it having a negative impact on their life, including myself.
However I do understand and agree with what this guy is saying, as I used to be a pothead myself as a young teen and it definitely has its consequences and took a quite a toll on my mental health. I’m lucky I can still enjoy it in moderation, but weed is definitely not for everyone.
Thanks for your input, covered in my exception at the end as well
Thanks for sharing your valuable experience
Thank you
Great Video!
Thank you
I'm 24, just quit smoking a month ago for real this time. Been smoking since I was 17. So grateful to be done with that shit, I agree. It literally did nothing good for my life.
Great stuff, good for you
You hit the nail on it's head with this one
Thank you
I commend you for addressing this, many people are in denial. The #1 thing I always do is ask clients how much do you spend on your substance of choice per week, month, year? That alone made me stop drinking so much. Alcohol puts you out the same way. Even if you don't have a habit, it slows you down financially and physically the next day after recovering. Plus the calories in alcohol, the appetite increase in weed. Cost for legal fees, going on vacation... you addressed all the right reasons.
On another note I have a question. Every time I watch your video I keep seeing ads about being an affiliate. My website does not have links to amazon, Walmart or other advertisers. The ad before your video the guy claims he earned over 100K in 45 days in affiliate click ads. Do you recommend it or is it a waste of time?
Thanks and great points. And no dont click on that garbage ad, might have to reconsider monetizing these vids if that's what's being advertised
great video, great examples!
Thanks Max
I’m 19 turning 20 in August. I’ve been smoking ganja since 16. Lately I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to quit. For my new born baby , my baby momma, and to get a better job. I’m currently in the process of trying to quit but all my friends smoke so it’s extremely hard because it’s around me . But I am determined, & also feel like I’m slowly growing out of the habit. I will stop completely one day
Good stuff, quit today and quit on the friends holding you back, you owe to your baby and your babies mom to win at life, all the best Andrew
I quit a week ago got a good call from dit (commercial diving school) that was my wake up call to quit weed forever I realized afther all these years smoking since middle school I wasted alotta of productivity and determined to get my life on track
Man thankful I watched til the end, that's a good goal to work towards. I'll be good now
Good stuff
Man I'm 25 and I hear you, no uni degree just working dead end full time jobs and smoking weed all the time. I feel like I've missed my shot at a good life and my life will be hard as shit from now on because of that. Ah man. Better stop now
I’m 27 and started smoking when I was 14. Pretty much been smoking that whole time and I just wanna be done. Done done done!!! But unfortunately I just couldn’t even imagine what my life would be like without it. I’m not in denial like most, I’m very well aware of my problem. I need to grow the fuck up and stop wasting money on this bullshit but just feel so hopeless. Literally waiting on a text to get some bud today while I type this. 😕
Excellent advice on vices that can occur
I’ve stole money from my mom just to get high, even reached the paranoia phase. Once heard voices in my head for a good hour after getting really high, of course I’m still hopelessly addicted to the substance but hey what a inspirational video!
I'm a medical cannabis user. Not only do I have a limit of how much I'm allowed to consume a month, but I'm being taught to do it responsibly almost every step of the way. I almost never smoke weed during the day or before 4-5pm. Not because I can't, there are strains that are available to me with no THC or very little, but high on CBD; which means I can function, but still give some of my symptoms relief. However, I'm not there yet in treatment and the strains I do right now are for night time use(very potent), which means if I smoked them during the day I'd be in a similar state you were in...not as productive. I'm no longer depressed and I'm earning more money every year than I have ever before, even if you include the cost of Cannabis(which is high). Cannabis saved my life and gave me reasons to keep living it, when I saw no hope. Cannabis has completely cured some of my phobias permanently and my PTSD symptoms are finally being managed properly. *Just the fact that I can sleep without having nightmares has improved my overall quality of life DRAMATICALLY.*
I however agree with you on one point. People below the age of 25 shouldn't smoke cannabis; simply because their brains haven't finished developing.
I Lost a pretty ass red head, curly,green eyed girl to pot. Lol but I'm thinking about quiting now because in retrospect, i wasnt rrally enjoying her instesd on Mary Jane.
I understand what you are saying but that’s not always the case. There are cases where people do just waste their time doing it but there are also responsible stoners who can control themselves. Your argument can also be applied with alcohol if you drink a lot very often then it can fuck you up but a couple drinks at the end of the day or to relax or hang out then it’s not really a problem.
Exceptions covered in the second half of the video, alcohol covered in the first half
Thanks for this, especially the psych info. Weed started a domino effect of my dreams crashing down. I don't care what anybody says its addictive and I'm sure that's increased when people start young.
My pleasure and that's it exactly
Yeah i feel like science is really dumb for labeling it as not addictive
Love The Video Bro Im 18 And Ive Tried To Quit Like 5 Times Never Getting Past 78 Hours Weed IS Dangerous Hearing Stories Of People Feeling Exactly How I Felt Is Great Motivation...Here We Go Again...Day 1
William Campbell You don't capitalize every word in a sentence. Only the first letter and the first letter of names.
Good stuff William, make today the day
Great vid
Thank you
So what I'm hearing is to be in control of what you do and consume
Exactly
Thanks for sharing your story bro. I know exactly what you’re saying. Been there done that! We can’t afford to let our lives pass us by in a cloud of smoke. Any vice done daily will have its consequences.
You got it, anything everyday is a big problem
Im smoking since 14 im 22 now my school is fucked in have no job and lazy asf it's hard to get back into society
Thank you so much bro lol
My pleasure
A lot of what you're saying is true, but i feel we must be careful not to trade one vice for another. Example weed for money(also a vice) It's best to strive for a life without any vices. Anyway thanks for the vid and all the best.
Thanks for your input
I really enjoyed this video, thank you for sharing your experiences and your perspective
Thanks Nevin, I appreciate it.
Really want to check out your how to sell course, idk people are all upset that you are just being 100% honest one thing you said that got me is it slows us down, I smoke every day all day which im trying to stop like u said u would sit in ur room smoking weed and cigs and thats what im doing eating shitty doing fuck all barely doing shit for my business and yeah i can do stuff while high but no matter what im not as efficient as when im sober.
I hear you man, I've been there. You just have to make the mindset shift to becoming all about being a boss player in the game of life, and living for achieving and winning on all levels. That will get you put of the short term pleasure cycle you're in now.
U spit the truth brother
Thanks Sal
Weed is harmless directly, but it is harmful as fuck indirectly. I agree, once you're rich, do whatever you want.
You got it
I just hate how upset I get when I can’t smoke it and that is indeed a problem!
I'm trying to quit too man,I just got hired at a great job and I've been through at least 3 different major named companies which I all smoked weed in. I feel this time I need to stop to unlock my full potential at work and keep the good job. Any tips or advice on getting through this? I smoke only once a day/ everyday at night because I feel it helps me sleep and otherwise I feel like staying up late.
My advice is to completely stop today
I have sense slowwed down but i agree 1000 percent
Goddamn I’m cringing so hard right now. I used to be the stereotypical stoner like you, I cut it down but still do it but today is the day I give weed up. I notice every day I Chief some ganja I waste that day. It’s gonna be hard though, my best friends a dealer and always provides for free.
Good man, that's great to hear, stay strong on that, also consider who you have in your network
same here, how's it going so far?
Bro, its been a month and life is amazing. Dreams came back insanely and vividly which can be either good or bad. I'm sharper than ever with a combo of intermittent fasting, cold showers, meditation, no weed and sexual release only once a week. Trust me weed is retarded, tasks I used to think were difficult that took up the whole day take only 2-3 hours now. I don't fuck around with my time as much which is good. Although I started vaping because I needed to blow some type of smoke lol, but that is still limited relative to how much others vape. My relationships are a lot stronger because I put effort into them now.
I am going to smoke for my birthday in 4 days though. Then I'm not touching it (not like I have a choice as I'm starting my paralegal internship soon anyways lol).
And Will, thank you for making this video at the perfect time. One month ago I was debating the whole weed thing seeing as my life was ok but nothing near it's potential, then you came along and dropped the video at a perfect time. I'm not going to front, I'm proud as fuck since I stayed true to what I said and didn't touch a single joint/blunt/dab pen despite constantly offered. I have a right to relish on my perseverance and you helped me take that stand.
Yeah it’s definitely cool to smoke a bit, I think some people are just more irresponsible when it comes to weed or any other substances. They tend to let it control their life, as long as you’re on good terms with yourself and life you’ll be good.
Thanks for your input Adrian
My dad threw his life away on weed smoked every day since age 14 he's 50 now and is delusional
Wow, what a shame
My dad too.
ˣᴰʳᵒˢᵏᶦ ƚ Look at potheads around you. Everyone I know who started smoking daily before age 16 is brain fried.
Not from the weed bro!!
Wayne Payne98 lmao ive smoked since i was 12 never had any "audio hallucinations" or anything bad happen to me at all i can go weeks without smoking after smoking every day no problem i usually just smoke after i work out or am busy for a while or else i will eat alot of food and i will get lazy but i own a legal marijuana buisness so i quit smoking like i used to, but no side effects no hearing shit. Im always on my hustle and do a lot of paperwork and counting money and meeting with owners about doing buisness
Yeah I agree that weed in moderation at the end of the day for once a week, once every 2 weeks, or once a month is okay if you don't go off the rails with it. I find it is really helpful for checking in and if anything in my subconscious mind is bothering me then I'll process and solve it. And it is fun...an 1/8th lasts me about half a year. I went without weed for the past 2 years when I was in Asia (other than smoking it socially if offered at a party a couple times). The key is moderation and doing it responsibly. I have discipline to eat healthy even when high. Sounds like you really overdid it in college lol...but maybe that rock bottom was exactly what you needed to get in gear.
Thanks for your input Neil
If and ONLY IF what you say is true, then kudos to you (and I mean it). But very very very few stoners would admit that the majority waste endless days away as they constantly deal with the "overdosing" which really just means that you smoke more than necessary and now the person becomes unproductive and wastes entire days just lazy as crap.
an eighth last 6 months. damn. must be dry as hell
Neil L we’ll say!!!!😉
hey, what age did you quit? it'll be interesting to hear. early, late 20s? mid?
Early 20s, tried it again in my early 30s a few times and hated it
Weed made me psychotic over time. I quit for 9 months and then relapsed last week- didn't go psychotic but experiencing mood swings
Jugg and Finesse wow, really?
Tomie Ito yeah. I am diagnosed bipolar, but asymptomatic unless I smoke weed.
Tomie Ito I'm back in school and working now, but I couldn't function when I smoked weed regularly
Jugg and Finesse that’s beautiful. I’m happy for you and wish you continued success.
Tomie Ito thanks! Yeah marijuana induced psychosis is not a myth lol. Many people I know have experienced it.
I’m really struggling to stop weed. I feel like sober me and stoned me are completely different and I feel like it is holding me back. I rely on weed to eat which is the only thing that keeps me on it. I feel super depressed and reclusive and want this to stop. Any tips? (I quit bud once for 8 months but am struggling to do it again)
Yep check out my article and video on how to quit anything, you can also check out my article and video on how to quit your video game addiction and replace it with weed. And make today the day you make it happen.
Agreed
Goals must be bigger than drugs!
Im currently 18 and i have decided to quit daily use, i used to enjoy weed when i would take it every 3weeks or so but then i got caught up in the rastafari way of life and long story short started smoking everyday, the only productive thing i did was workout but the rest of the day i would do nothing significant and always hate the person i was and be insecure..
I am deciding to quit smoking weed, but edibles still have a place in my life but i will focus on advancing my life more and as a reward for hard work i will get stoned as fuck, its only fair in my mind, plus i feel edibles are a more natural way to induce cannabis and because its a slower climb its very fun, and i say it from experience because i had very satisfying times back then when i would do it ocassionaly. But i've really learned what weed is for me over the years and i believe if i treat it with the respect i used to treat it with it could do me wonders!
Definitely, goals bigger than drugs
Dam pitas and pot delivery!!! Thats pretty nice though you have to admit.
Lol. All run by the hells angels too, if they found out you tried to sell weed in Montreal, even small amounts on college campuses, you'd get a warning the first time, but after that, bad news.
