I started smoking 18 years ago as a teenage, Got addicted to cigarettes. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES sure of Dr.benfungi. Did straight shrooms in few days. Left me like a blank slate after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. Shit saved my life, all thanks to Dr.benfungi
Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the morning after. So no hangovers. No depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now have a more calm mind
Weed ruined my life. I quit in my 40s and I’m so mad I accomplished nothing my entire life. Now I travel Asia on a motorcycle, am experiencing life like a new person, I have the most beautiful amazing girlfriend, and I’m finally happy and enjoying life, traveling, instead of sitting around depressed smoking pot doing nothing.
Well maybe if you didnt smoke in the first place you might have accomplished nothing still. You never know what would have happened, but now you've built a life for yourself that you're happy with :)
Honestly Bro I’m 20 I’ve been smoking since I was 15 like literally I’ve been having so many thoughts of quitting & stopping I admit i have a smoking addiction to the point where it’s getting bad for my health but after watching this video you took the words right out my mouth I’m definitely going to stop Today! I need everyone to encourage me push me to stop !!!! #ICANDOIT !!
Yo update 2-3 weeks ago I was smoking 4-5 blunts a day and hitting dabs every day. I went through a week of absolute hell but now Im at the point where I’m only hitting cbd and smoking once a day it’s much more enjoyable
For those who have been chronic smokers and wanna take a break and then just do it occasionally,just keep one thing in mind:Tolerance will return way faster than a non smoker starting out.I find the best thing is to do it once a week max or even less and if you by any means go back to daily,stop as soon as you feel brain fog,memory impairment or the effects not being as intense.This way you can get the most out of the plant with the fewest side effects and more money in your pocket as well.For me it goes from a mild but significant psychedelic experience to smoking one and feeling nothing and can get worse if i increase the frequency and quantity.
@@kingclos i know,i've been through them,for chronic AND high quantity smokers,tapering down over a period of about a month would be better.I only did it in the evenings and still experienced hardcore withdrawal.
I’ve just went cold turkey after over 30 years of daily intake n I’ve experienced zero withdrawals n the lugies r subsiding. Two weeks in n probably another four to go. Kinda anxious for the first hit just to see what it does.
The problem with weed culture is that so many people think that you gotta try get as high and blasted as possible when you smoke. I used to be around people constantly with that mindset, I thought that overconsumption was fun myself. But eventually I had to take a break because it's really not sustainable to smoke so much all the time. After this long break I had a completely different mindset when I came back to smoking. It made me realise that you should use weed as a reward, like at the end of the week for instance, after you have gotten all of your work done for the week and want to relax in the evening, having a small little joint is ok. But you don't have to roll some big massive joint or blunt or take a huge bong rip or dab, just a small joint is more than enough because your tolerance will be so low anyway. But this is just my personal experience, I smoked heavy for about 4 years before I released that smoking too much was not doing me any good.
I can so relate to your vids and where we end up after so many years of smoking. As another RUclipsr puts it, choose your hard, it's hard giving up, but it also ends up being hard staying in the addiction. All we can do is stay off it and give time for our brains to recover, neuro plasticity and all the science on how we can re-wire the brain for worse or hopefully from now on for the better. Keep going mate, we'll get there!
Keep on these vids man! They are helping me and lot of people. It’s take some balls too to admit this stuff. But so many people I bet feel this way and there is just not enough help or support. Thank you!
After 15 years of chronic marihuana addiction, I felt the same exact way but the main reason that made me quit marihuana is that I want to rediscover myself and get to know who I am without weed. I'm on day 9 of sobriety, and I can say I'm thinking way clearer. The best is yet to come! Kudos to anyone who is quitting any vices. Great video, brother! You got this!
@msbegaofnwha I'm on day 54 of sobriety, and I can fall asleep naturally without any insomnia, and I'm dreaming once again, some crazy ones, but it's great to get deep sleep. It also helped that I sticked to a sleeping routing, which has helped me to overcome insomnia. The first month is hard, lots of sleepless/restless nights, but it's a matter of embracing the suck. Your body will regulate eventually.
Thanks for the video. So true all this. After abstaining from smoking & fogging your mind it becomes clear and see weed for what it is. You become or return to being your true character & not hiding behind a fog of smoke.
Bro valid everything you're saying I can co sign on. I would take long breaks like three months recently and smoke again to see if I needed to and sure enough the instant it hits there's this overwhelming feeling of guilt and anxiety and just didn't feel right, something was off. I'm not a rook either been a daily since 95-96' stopped after so long on it, it became Ill not fun, a hassle if I would and a hassle if I didn't, had to be on me everywhere all the time, gaming, gym, work, wake bake, before sleep, working on a project, cleaning my car, all the time. I can validate everything you went through the very last time I smoked my mind went off on me like, why!? why are you smoking? I couldn't wait to be sober again. The addiction and high tolerance blinds you and once that's broken and you try to go back it's a weird anxious and guilty feeling and I was weaning off it before that little by little, less dependent by the day less smoking daily but once you completely stop for months on in your mind and body won't allow it unless YOU allow it and I'm telling you, it's not fun anymore.
If you smoke the correct strain wether its sativa or indica i mean you do get strains that aren't heavy or no paranoia/anxiety but maybe just your time to stop an ive found strainlock can also lead to fed up feelings of not being completey stoned.Good luck on your journey of recovery pal bigup from🏴
I use to smoke all day everday from about 13 to 25 or so before i stopped smoking in the mornings and would wait until after work. I tend to get most of the things done that i need to get done before skoking because it can make me lazy. Not all the time bitnit definetly can and there is no real way to tell how its gonna affect me. I am 33 and havent gone more than 48 hours without weed in 20 years. Although i have been thinking about quitting to see how it has been affecting me. No way to know how its negatively impacting me with no real clean time. I dont want to be in my 40s or 50s and not knowing what its like to be sober.
Had a stress attack on Sunday while I was high. Been sober for 48 hours now and it’s been nice to have a break from the grass. Might go back but not for a while. Also helps that I put my vape down too
I had panic attacks while Smoking a good 1/2 months before I decided to quit for at least a month. That was 10 days ago, now Im free from the anxiety and panic that haunted me every night. After the Month I will try to only smoke on Weekends once or twice. But if the panic attacks return I will quit for a longer Period of time or even forever. But im 100% sure I can Stay sober for 1 month
I was going to smoke again but never again, the withdrawal was a nightmare when I stopped, also I was feeling super depressed while smoking I was developing psychosis badly thinking I was a medium seeing spirits and crap. I feel good now I feel aware and I see my stoner friends they look sad tired and unmotivated and I used to look like that
Smoked everyday for like 11 years. I know for a fact my body wanted me to stop and the main reason was lack of REM sleep. I started sleeping really really bad the last year or so and always thought the ganj was helping. I would wake up every 2 hours and have a hard time falling back asleep. I feel like it was my brains way of saying this isn’t working pal I need some fucking REM. First night I stopped smoking, slept 10 hours straight and had the deepest sleep with the most vivid dreams I’ve had in 11 years. Now I occasionally smoke and it’s much more enjoyable. It’s crazy how much better my sleep quality is now that I don’t smoke everyday. Sure the weed will put you to sleep but the quality you get is total shit.
thats very isolated case,most need a good indica to sleep due to many things,your getting it wrong rem sleep is a light sleep,thc induced sleep is a deeper sleep where you dont dream,and wake up feeling more refreshed this from a study " cannabis use appears to increase the time you spend in deep sleep, the stage that helps you wake up feeling refreshed. However, THC decreases the amount of time you spend in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, when you spend more time dreaming, processing emotions" Here another academic study "ingesting marijuana strains with higher levels of THC typically reduces the amount of REM sleep you get. Reducing REM sleep means reducing dreams - and for those who experience PTSD, it could mean reducing nightmares. So the theory is that if you spend less time dreaming, you’ll spend more time in a “deep sleep” state. The deep sleep state is thought to be the most restorative, restful part of the sleep cycle. Still, REM is important for healthy cognitive and immune functioning
I agree for people with PTSD the pros of not getting REM sleep out weigh the cons..But for the average person who doesn’t suffer from PTSD depriving your brain of REM sleep every single day for extended periods of time is extremely unhealthy and is linked to dementia/Alzheimers later in life. I can only speak for myself I guess but when I sleep sober I get into a deeper more refreshing sleep compared to sleeping with THC in my system. I also wake up feeling more refreshed and getting out of bed is easier.
REM sleep is when ur body “ heals “. U’ll know if u dream. Tried cbd n initially was perfect but after was zip. Maybe after a simbatical I’ll go to edibles more than smokin.
wow that sounds almost like bullshit, have never heard anyone have a 10 hour sleep first night quitting after daily ise for over a decade.... usually its extreme insomnia
I have a medical marijuana card and this is true you have to take a break even if there's no signs..people don't get that. My partner will question sometimes like damn u haven't bought weed lately😂, I'm like yea u can't do it 24/7 u have to take breaks sometime
Its pretty cool u put this out, because i feel people think there's no limit of usage just because its weed and ya can't overdose ...😂 shit if u eat too many oranges you'll get sick
I never got into weed abuse but I realized that alcohol and nicotine gave me the same feeling. The fact that I noticed that abuse is real which is drinking daily or smoking all the time, I knew weed was a third thing I did not want to get into. I'm glad that I never got addicted to it because being sober actually allows me to have life, a job, a roof over your head. Life could be easier but it could also be worse. Breaking addiction can be very hard, almost to the point where sadness, anxiety and depression hits so hard when you're sober. Focusing on learning is tough because you don't feel like it. You really become a zombie at that point and you have to realize what is really important to you.
I got old friends who are completely addicted so it u can be addicted to weed too if u don't practice moderation. Chronic use will cause decline in energy %100
I quite about 3 months ago and my only downside is I do not sleep as well as I used to. My dreams returned instantly! It was not a difficult process for me even after habitually smoking for around 26 years all day
@Monique denton No I did not. I was really surprised at how easy it was. One would never find me without weed eva! I can only speak for myself on this.
I’m currently on a smoke break. First sign to add is hacking goobers that have a percentage of black which I tink is the cilia cleaning lungs n allow u to emit it. However offensive I spit it out !! Hopin my six week stint helps. Bit I can say there was no withdrawal n after just a few days felt “ emptied “ with only the continued hacking the lougies n lung cleanse. I’m also going to emphasize edibles because of being better off. Toughest thing is having unlimited supply available. Let’s see some feedback on edible problem potential if any
I have a medical card and I find that when weed becomes ineffective is the time to take a break from it, give myself some time from it, then try a different strain. I commend those who can quit for good.
I like weed and will never quit! I have no need to stop and with it becoming legal , well hell yes! I use it in many ways and it is very useful for my life! To each their own bud!
I can relate to some of this, but I can't relate to the reasoning behind it. I've never had bad thoughts about smoking weed. I have nothing but love for weed. It's never been anything but good to me until recently. Here's my issue. I'm 40 years old, and I've been a daily smoker for 25 years. Lately I find myself not enjoying it as much as I use to because when I get stoned my mind goes to those past mistakes and worst case scenarios. Tightness in my chest? Well that must be a heart attack. My girlfriend is quiet today. What if she's falling out of love with me?! That kind of stupid shit. Granted, I'm under a lot of street right now, but herb always helped my relieve my anxiety until recently. I can smoke joints without any problems, but if I hit a bong I have anxiety attacks and start thinking I'm gonna die. That started about six and half years ago when my dad just dropped dead in front of me from a heart attack. It was sudden. He was normal, he was fine and he woke up one morning and fell dead. That's when the anxiety attacks started for me. My own mortality kinda just punched me in the face when he died. Then there are the psychical issues. I'm also a heavy cigarette smoker and as I've gotten older, it's started to affect my lungs. When I smoke weed I cough my guts out. I've always done that and that actually use to me my favorite part of smoking oddly enough, but now it causes my chest to get tight, I get short of breath and it makes my throat feel like I have strep or something. I don't think my problem is a weed problem though. I think it's just me problem. If I could give up the cigarettes and get myself into a less stressful environment, I think I would be fine with the weed because I love weed. It's the rest of the shit going on that's affecting my relationship with something that I've loved since I was a 15 year old kid.
if it doesnt give you that oomph - take a day off)) been smoking for 14 years now and i dont get people quitting or thinking about quitting i did a 1,5 year break and i'm 100% positive this time was wasted! i usually obstain from smoking till evening, when all my shit is done sometimes i dont and do my shit in an "intuitive artist" way and i still get results face it, its your lack of discipline, not weed
Experienced that as well, as of now I still do smoke weed but when I quit for a few days and tried sleeping at night and I just could not get a break from these guilty negative and emotional thoughts, started tearing up
The only reason I want to quit is since it’s still not fully legalized where I live. I still can’t easily get good shit. I always have to go through loop holes cause I don’t wanna drive 3 hours to Michigan and that means I’m taking the risk of getting laced shit. Also weed gives me good ideas but flatlines the ability to take action towards them. Also I’m seeing all these glimpses of success in life and a lot is improving but it feels like I haven’t been able to fully progress and appreciate it because I’m too busy being high. Ugh
I've been experiencing basically all of these signs for slightly over a year now and my body and subconscious mind has been hinting that I've been needing to stop after over 15 years of being a daily toker... i've become quite dependent on it and i hate that... i dont feel that im addicted as much as dependent on the substance because of my old coping ways that no longer work with the substance... i feel need a break. thank you for this video confirming my beliefs.
The poor choices come in when u are high the whole time all day everyday. Even as a medication when i do use i make sure there's days in between smoking,there's days where i leave it alone then there's days where i medicate but it's limited and to a certain time not all damn day
moderation is key friend! all the youg people take everything to excess and thats the cuse of negative effects. im happy as ever and smoke all day and all night ... in moderation
The moderate addict. Impressive. The dude is trying to quit being a child and using drugs to handle life. Of course, you feel supercilious and want to flex and tell this smart kid he just has to be as stupid as you. Whatever, bud. Smoke in moderation. Pat yourself on the back. Tell people trying to quit they just need to be like you.
Many gotta understand, each person has their own relationship with Marijuana. I tend to smoke after work and i hsve zero effects, but if i smoked all day everyday id probably be schizo.
Better title would be when your mind is telling you to stop. The things your describing are things of the mind and have not much to do with the body. Signs of the body are health issues like constant burning lungs, burning throat, shortness of breath, low energy etc.
you look just like the guy used to sell me weed, i stabbed him he almost die.. but that was cos a girl in between and he hit me for behind...that was in 2016.. now i am 4 month clean of everything. feeling better than ever!!

I’m 20 too I’m in the same boat I’ve been smoking since 16 and i smoke so much now I don’t even wanna be high anymore
Got to let your brain develop fully my friend. Pick it back up later in life.
Yo update 2-3 weeks ago I was smoking 4-5 blunts a day and hitting dabs every day. I went through a week of absolute hell but now Im at the point where I’m only hitting cbd and smoking once a day it’s much more enjoyable
You can do it.
The only way weed works good for me is if i only finish off the day with it go to work goto the gym then smoke its alot better.
For those who have been chronic smokers and wanna take a break and then just do it occasionally,just keep one thing in mind:Tolerance will return way faster than a non smoker starting out.I find the best thing is to do it once a week max or even less and if you by any means go back to daily,stop as soon as you feel brain fog,memory impairment or the effects not being as intense.This way you can get the most out of the plant with the fewest side effects and more money in your pocket as well.For me it goes from a mild but significant psychedelic experience to smoking one and feeling nothing and can get worse if i increase the frequency and quantity.
This is good advice and all but, it’s not that easy for everybody. Withdrawals can be hell for many and for those that have gotten dependent to weed
I agree I smoked every day for 28 years but I’m slowed down to once a week I don’t even desire it anymore I might smoke 💨 once a month now
@@kingclos i know,i've been through them,for chronic AND high quantity smokers,tapering down over a period of about a month would be better.I only did it in the evenings and still experienced hardcore withdrawal.
Gotta be smoking za
I’ve just went cold turkey after over 30 years of daily intake n I’ve experienced zero withdrawals n the lugies r subsiding. Two weeks in n probably another four to go. Kinda anxious for the first hit just to see what it does.
Wow everything you said is exactly why I quit smoking. 28 days clean now. I feel so much better
Haven’t smoked in 10 days. Feeling great. Honestly considering never going back. Great video, brudduh.
What about now? How you feel about it?
you start getting withdrawals after months not days
The problem with weed culture is that so many people think that you gotta try get as high and blasted as possible when you smoke.

That is called growing up. Been smoking 30 years. I smoke less now then I did 15 years ago. Moderation comes with maturity usually and hopefully

I never got into weed abuse but I realized that alcohol and nicotine gave me the same feeling. The fact that I noticed that abuse is real which is drinking daily or smoking all the time, I knew weed was a third thing I did not want to get into. I'm glad that I never got addicted to it because being sober actually allows me to have life, a job, a roof over your head. Life could be easier but it could also be worse. Breaking addiction can be very hard, almost to the point where sadness, anxiety and depression hits so hard when you're sober. Focusing on learning is tough because you don't feel like it. You really become a zombie at that point and you have to realize what is really important to you.
When I'm so sober I get high off of music and different types of music gives me a different high.. Am I the only one???
I got old friends who are completely addicted so it u can be addicted to weed too if u don't practice moderation. Chronic use will cause decline in energy %100
it is what it is, agree..
Real talk thanks my dude its a hard road right now but i wanna give my soul a break
you got it brotha
I quite about 3 months ago and my only downside is I do not sleep as well as I used to. My dreams returned instantly! It was not a difficult process for me even after habitually smoking for around 26 years all day
@Monique denton No I did not. I was really surprised at how easy it was. One would never find me without weed eva! I can only speak for myself on this.
how is the insomnia now?
@@msbegaofnwha I sleep ok now. I meditate before bed which helped me but nowadays sleeping is not a problem
@@defidemon1763 how long did it take brother
@@msbegaofnwha Around 6 months I would say. It has been a while so I could be wrong. Are you having the same problem?
i feel the second sign hard, ur the man
Great message. Very helpful.
I’m currently on a smoke break. First sign to add is hacking goobers that have a percentage of black which I tink is the cilia cleaning lungs n allow u to emit it. However offensive I spit it out !! Hopin my six week stint helps. Bit I can say there was no withdrawal n after just a few days felt “ emptied “ with only the continued hacking the lougies n lung cleanse. I’m also going to emphasize edibles because of being better off. Toughest thing is having unlimited supply available. Let’s see some feedback on edible problem potential if any
Not Taking The Piss At All But 3 Minutes In & Sounds Like Homme Was Going Through Depression Hope You're Feeling Better Now Brother🙏👊✌
I have a medical card and I find that when weed becomes ineffective is the time to take a break from it, give myself some time from it, then try a different strain. I commend those who can quit for good.
Thanks man! Really! I feel more ready to quit this shit.
I like weed and will never quit! I have no need to stop and with it becoming legal , well hell yes! I use it in many ways and it is very useful for my life! To each their own bud!
Amen!
dont watch then! thanks bud
You seem like a cool dude bro. I relate to this
I can relate to some of this, but I can't relate to the reasoning behind it. I've never had bad thoughts about smoking weed. I have nothing but love for weed. It's never been anything but good to me until recently. Here's my issue. I'm 40 years old, and I've been a daily smoker for 25 years. Lately I find myself not enjoying it as much as I use to because when I get stoned my mind goes to those past mistakes and worst case scenarios. Tightness in my chest? Well that must be a heart attack. My girlfriend is quiet today. What if she's falling out of love with me?! That kind of stupid shit. Granted, I'm under a lot of street right now, but herb always helped my relieve my anxiety until recently. I can smoke joints without any problems, but if I hit a bong I have anxiety attacks and start thinking I'm gonna die. That started about six and half years ago when my dad just dropped dead in front of me from a heart attack. It was sudden. He was normal, he was fine and he woke up one morning and fell dead. That's when the anxiety attacks started for me. My own mortality kinda just punched me in the face when he died. Then there are the psychical issues. I'm also a heavy cigarette smoker and as I've gotten older, it's started to affect my lungs. When I smoke weed I cough my guts out. I've always done that and that actually use to me my favorite part of smoking oddly enough, but now it causes my chest to get tight, I get short of breath and it makes my throat feel like I have strep or something. I don't think my problem is a weed problem though. I think it's just me problem. If I could give up the cigarettes and get myself into a less stressful environment, I think I would be fine with the weed because I love weed. It's the rest of the shit going on that's affecting my relationship with something that I've loved since I was a 15 year old kid.
if it doesnt give you that oomph - take a day off))
been smoking for 14 years now and i dont get people quitting or thinking about quitting
i did a 1,5 year break and i'm 100% positive this time was wasted!
i usually obstain from smoking till evening, when all my shit is done
sometimes i dont and do my shit in an "intuitive artist" way and i still get results
face it, its your lack of discipline, not weed
You live don't worry about it all in your head!
7 day of sober after 10years smoking weed, i cry like a bitch yesterday and i dont know why
Experienced that as well, as of now I still do smoke weed but when I quit for a few days and tried sleeping at night and I just could not get a break from these guilty negative and emotional thoughts, started tearing up
The only reason I want to quit is since it’s still not fully legalized where I live. I still can’t easily get good shit. I always have to go through loop holes cause I don’t wanna drive 3 hours to Michigan and that means I’m taking the risk of getting laced shit. Also weed gives me good ideas but flatlines the ability to take action towards them. Also I’m seeing all these glimpses of success in life and a lot is improving but it feels like I haven’t been able to fully progress and appreciate it because I’m too busy being high. Ugh
We used to say , happiness is a fat stash, that about sums up my relationship to kanna.
I've been experiencing basically all of these signs for slightly over a year now and my body and subconscious mind has been hinting that I've been needing to stop after over 15 years of being a daily toker... i've become quite dependent on it and i hate that... i dont feel that im addicted as much as dependent on the substance because of my old coping ways that no longer work with the substance... i feel need a break. thank you for this video confirming my beliefs.
no one on here seems to be talking about insomnia when quitting😂😂 makes me wonder if you even smoked 😂😂
It makes me nauseous and sick after years of chronic use
3 weeks clean bro 🤙
Congrats, how you feelin
How about a year later?
Nah my body loves it, my bank account doesn't though
Right. Lowkey that’s one of the main reasons I quit that junk.
@@queenxonia6736Same I quit too. i was getting too stupid and too broke LOL
Thank you!
The poor choices come in when u are high the whole time all day everyday. Even as a medication when i do use i make sure there's days in between smoking,there's days where i leave it alone then there's days where i medicate but it's limited and to a certain time not all damn day
moderation is key friend! all the youg people take everything to excess and thats the cuse of negative effects. im happy as ever and smoke all day and all night ... in moderation
All day and all night in moderation are you taking the piss?
@@Boobmates every couple hours take a toke then piss 😤
The moderate addict. Impressive. The dude is trying to quit being a child and using drugs to handle life. Of course, you feel supercilious and want to flex and tell this smart kid he just has to be as stupid as you. Whatever, bud. Smoke in moderation. Pat yourself on the back. Tell people trying to quit they just need to be like you.
Many gotta understand, each person has their own relationship with Marijuana. I tend to smoke after work and i hsve zero effects, but if i smoked all day everyday id probably be schizo.
god bless
Love this video
Time for me to stop
Keep up the good fight man!!!
I’m gonna try:)
Thanks man
Love this video!
Fantastic video 😘😘
Better title would be when your mind is telling you to stop. The things your describing are things of the mind and have not much to do with the body. Signs of the body are health issues like constant burning lungs, burning throat, shortness of breath, low energy etc.
I was almost worried lol
Your overthinking! It's from the reefer but it's good to take a break occasionally clean out your body!
Sounds like my marriage
im not quiting smoking
then why are ya watchin
You were clearly smoking the wrong strains.
Addicts excuse I'm a weed addict well ex so I know your making excuses
@@carlbland I am no addict. I freely chose to smoke copious amounts of weed.
@@Ian-Dixon what all weed addicts say no one smoked more than me weed is a drug you smoke it equalls drug addict
@@carlbland In your opinion. Certainly not my opinion bud
🙏
❤
Sounds like it just doesnt fit into your Lifestyle and priorities anymore.
Weed doesnt fit into the social media world
