Two weeks into no weed and I already feel a bit more superhuman when it comes to socializing. Can’t imagine what it would be like 2-3 months in. Gonna stay strong
Starting smoking weed at 16,diagnosed with anxiety at 20.Been on numerous anti anxiety meds over the years and kept thinking the weed was the best for anxiety.Decided to take a break from weed at 54 as i wasnt getting much from it anymore.The most amazing thing happened......The anxiety went down 10 fold after a month.Will never touch it again.
Same. Started at 15, I’m 45 now and stopped a few weeks ago. There were definitely some adverse effects at first (heightened anxiety and emotional volatility) but this past week has been absolutely amazing. Little to no anxiety and wayyyy more energy. There is hope! Trust the process 🙏🏽🤙🏽🫶🏽
The addictive behavior affects everyone. Beware of quitting and just putting on another addiction. Chose healthy addictions because you will always be addicted to something.
3 weeks sober. So boring and depressing but I have to change. Pushing through trying to rediscover who I am without weed. I love it, but I have goals and it’s impeding my ambition. Making it feel ok to be where I am and it’s not ok. Hopefully once I accomplish these goals and become who I’m destined to be I can enjoy it moderately again.
I'm 6 Days Sober now and I my mornings are so depressing. I just don't want to do anything... I feel like I hate my life... I'm looking forward for it to disappear in the next 4 weeks. Wish me best luck!
If you weren’t able to use it moderately when you needed to, to achieve goals it’s very doubtful you’d be able to do it moderately after your goals are achieved and you don’t need to use it moderatly as much. Best bet is to try to find other things to get your enjoyment in life from.
Good luck mate. How are you doing? I am 26, i was sober for 10 months once, I was sober for 6 months once, I was sober 6x for 2-3months (11 years into daily smoking, from morning to bed time, even when I woke up)….somehow I ask myself if I will ever be able to life a sober life or if a damaged my brain in my development because even after months and months of abstinence I am very sad lonely depressed and unmotivated :( can’t fight this shit anymore….back into day 6 of being sober. I hate myself for every relapse and usually a relapse is minimum 6-24 weeks and then the negatives of consuming get wayyyy to intense again! (Anxiety, panic when I wake up, no motivation to do anything besides gaming and chilling)…I even went to addiction centers but they just told me : „we don’t have space for you, your addiction isn’t suvere enough“ I could basically cry

Omg how much were you using! I’ve been smoking weed since I was 17 and I’ve quit numerous times in my life and I’m 72 and I’m still smoking! I will tell you one thing on a recent blood test where six months ago my cortisol level was 16 and a week ago it was down to 1 and I attribute that score was do to my uptake to smoking weed! All you out there who taking gateway drug are talking out of you butts! Get your facts straight! It’s not a gateway drug unless you make it that way! And oh yes after a back surgery my pain doc prescribed weed for pain! Over the 13 addictive Vicodin I was taking a day that I’m still addicted too! You are all Unbelievable
Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
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 Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later
I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.
10th day for me. Luckily I am blessed with a loving supportive family. I was a heavy user for 20 years, I quit because I finally grew up. finally realized I was living a life that wasn't real. Quit to see how improvements in my physically training and sports will be. the first several days were brutal, insomnia, migraines , nausea and really pissed off. These days I'm feeling much better, thinking clearly and my workouts are actually much improved. The DREAMS are unreal. getting better sleep and my energy is through the roof. Mentally its a long road, but i feel unstoppable and much more confident in who I am. My family notices the difference and that's the important thing to me!! Stay the course, you can do it. Videos like these help me out so much! Aloha from Hawaii!!!!
I don’t know I feel the term Gateway drug is kind of misused in a way people that are using hard drugs to forget things to numb things that have happened to them are using for a totally different reason than somebody that is using for pleasure enjoyment they do create a dependence on the drug, however Some cocaine, heroin, physical dependence you don’t have it you’re sick, but we I could never see weed being a problem in my life unless I didn’t have any lol serious. I do realize some people it affects them differently. I am recovering addict use marijuana for addictions reasons to help me stay away from other drugs takes the anxiety away for me and relaxes me. I don’t think I’ve ever found a weed that keeps me awake but anyway cool episode.
I've quit many times for a couple of months, but I keep going back. Putting myself through the withdrawal symptoms of anxiety, irritability, depression, and low energy again and again. Don't be like me - make it past the hump and quit for good! I think one of the hardest things about addiction is putting belief in yourself again after you've repeatedly failed.
Went about seven years, only smoking for a week in summer and a week in winter, during vacation, for creative inspiration and celebration. Returning to work, I simply did not allow the option to mix smoking and work. A miraculous pattern, that I'd love to get back to. This is our year, people! We can reach our goals, and make our lives our own!
I've attempted to quit it multiple times, but each attempt ended in failure. It's been nearly 10 years of cannabis use, and I've reached a point where I've had enough. Currently, I find myself with a confused and anxious mind. Three months ago, I lost my job because my performance deteriorated due to cannabis use, and now I'm falling behind in my studies. I urge anyone not to start smoking it. The recovery process is challenging but worth it. Today is my first day without it, and it feels like I might not make it through, but I know it's a crucial step in the right direction.
You got this...keep going...I smoked for almost 40 years and was able to quit...It's not easy but keep in mind there is a great sober life awaiting you...
Ive fallen off the wagon 2 to 3 times at this point. I always end up convincing myself that with a little discipline it wont get the best of me but when something life changing happens i go back to it for relief and it helps for a while until slowly but surely the benefits subside and the dependency stays. If you can actually moderate then i think its ok but some of us just cant or arent mentally strong enough yet and need more growth. Sober living is great. Youll always run into that friend that can smoke when he wants and not depend on it and it wavers your journey but thats not you. You quit for a reason keep on it and you will be rewarded. Working my way up to my next quit. Its part of the journey to relapse you just gotta get back on track. Good luck to everyone who needs that little pep talk.
Her answer on cannabis being a gateway drug really gained my trust. I hate when people say that and it makes me put my guard up. Also I must be a rare bread, because the reason I started using it is, because an unethical pain management doctor had me on a 25mcg and 50 mcg fentinal patch on each arm and per a set and morphine, all within eight months for fibromyalgia. That’s right, I didnt have a major injury or cancer, he loaded me up for fibromyalgia. Then when I said I can’t do this anymore he fired me, and my regular doctors wouldn’t help me. A Christian military wife came to my help with cannabis and that was in 2013 and I haven’t had any pain meds other then after my C Section since then.
Excellent presentation about a major issue that is often clouded by all the misinformation out there along with the effects of these chemicals when we begin to use. This lady is a superstar in addiction treatment not only because of her knowledge, but her way of explaining these issues clearly while examining different points of view. A+ Doctor, from an addiction/mental health counselor of some 22 years here in San Francisco, and a person in recovery.
Into Day 4 COLD TURKEY and aside from a loss of appetite I feel amazing. It is like waking up from a 46 year bad dream. My next one in CAFFEINE which I will gradually wean myself off of because I get massive headaches when I have a lack of caffeine.
I'm on Day 3. I am so proud of myself for making the decision to stop. Jesus has been my rock. Couldn't do this without JESUS! He has made it possible. I tried in my own will power and I couldn't. THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR STRENGTH TO STOP!
I’ve smoked pot every day of my life since I was 18 and I’m 58 now! I got sick with the flu recently and had to take a break. I’m now 11 days sober and committed to quitting. Does anyone know when the vivid rem sleep stops? It’s night after night of nothing but rem sleep waking up in pool of sweat . I would have thought that would subside by now.
Great video. Weed probably won’t hurt a marriage like alcohol, thank god, but, especially if one person is using and the other not, I mean - if you’re smoking all the time, you’re not building memories with your partner, you have reduced motivation to plan and do things together a couple. Your communication suffers. Depending on your circumstance it can cause a financial strain. This isn’t only true if one person uses. And if you’re in a constantly altered state, do you know who you’re presenting to the world as yourself? Like who is your partner even married to.
Just how psychologically addictive the pleasant to smoke strains can be, i can get a runners 'high', by walking all the way from point A to point B and get the similar head rush and the come down and chill effect without risking stuff with my mental health or cognition, as well scoring and dealing with the under ground market products, i'm better that way, including tobacco garbage.
Tip for quitting weed and getting through any withdrawal: use caffeine (just not too late in the day) And use melatonin (don’t use it for too long). Caffeine lifts mood and creates more dopamine receptors (Huberman). Melatonin of course can help you sleep.
When she talks about smoking weed not being FDA approved, have you seen how the government allows all this fast food to be sold to us? you think the Government really cares about our health?
I’ve been a marijuana smoker for the past 15 years. Today is day number 7 of not smoking. I have relapsed everytime I’ve tried to quit. This time it’s different. I am mentally way stronger this time and I won’t relapse but need to to go one full month without smoking before I can say I’ve quit.
@@kozigotbeatz1240 it’s going great. I’ve not relapsed. Keeping myself physically active. I am doing strength training / swimming / yoga / high intensity interval training. I’ve lost almost 10 pounds already. I know if I stay idle m gonna go back to my old habits.
I feel great to be honest. Never felt better.I’ve been physically very active since I quit. I switch between swimming / yoga / strength training and high intensity interval training. The plan is to tire myself enough so I can sleep at night. So I workout twice a day. There’s def more clarity and focus throughout the day. I love this new life of mine.
@@Siddhant89 love that bro , I smoked for 15 year too and have just quit for the last 3 days. It's tough but I also feel great..best luck going forward
it is sad how few people are listening to these videos, I guess ignorance truly is (artificial) bliss. I am guessing that starting with today's highly potent weed is going to create a whole new group of 'chemically coping' people, especially young kids using while their brain is still developing. Online selling of weed to minors has got to stop.
Confused listen to Huberman on what one glass of wine does to you a day and then tell me alcohol is not harmful.. I have PTSD cannabis saved my life literally..
My takeaway from this is Nicotine and Alcohol are just as big of “gateway drugs” as cannabis. I don’t know if Doug was ready for that one. Not defending cannabis, it’s being pushed too hard in today’s society.
I love cannabis will probably always love it,but my health anxiety has put a stop to my daily tokes here lately. I'm not going to use ice or cocaine because of weed 😂
this conversation has amazing information in it if you look at the surface level of what drugs do and why they are used but what she isn't talking about is what happens to the brain to cause an individual to want to use drugs in the first place. The focus from most of the scientific "experts" is on the drug instead of the individual. One of these days we will figure out that it's up to the individual to search inside themselves to understand why they are doing what they are doing. Thus is not focused on the solution and is not giving much information on how to quit and why we are doing it in the first place except for using surface level localized issues which is missing the point entirely.
Because people are still uneducated about it. Weak people blame substances and things outside of themselves. Strong people look internally for answers. Cannabis is a magnifying glass to help with self-awareness, but people become self-aware of their anxiety or depression while they're on cannabis and think it's the weed's fault they are like that lol NO! The weed is just showing them what is ALREADY UNDER THE SURFACE. It's just bringing it to light. This lady still does'nt understand the stuff...and TONS of sheep in the comments here don't understand it either that are agreeing with her.
I’ve smoked weed for several years and needed to stop on my way for 3 week vacation in Florida. I was concerned about potential withdrawal and experienced none. No anxiety, depression or insomnia. Some people I know also smoked the weed for decades and just stopped cold turkey w/o any withdrawal symptoms. I don’t agree with her opinion and deduce that may be the case for psychiatric reasons where people use it for psychological relief with which it helps and the symptoms return when they stop.
Excellent talk. I disagree with the thought that marijuana impairs one's ability to drive. I smoke and drive daily. I have had a perfect driving record for almost 20 years. But I don't drink alcohol at all. mixing the two is very bad for motor skills.
Everyone system is different , I have smoked for39 years , I can not for imagine how my life would have been without it. I am not saying go to extremes to feel the effect. Anything can be addictive, if respected , won’t abuse. Any who I believe in our rights … mind yours & I’ll mind mine.
I wish these videos wouldnt focus so much on anxiety. Most of them do. I dont have anxiety but cant seem to find videos focusing on releasing weed habits without going on and on about anxiety. Im sorry to people who experience it, seems like a lot of you, but who talks about no ill effects, just wanting to stop for financial or other reasons?
Thanks for your content. Wish I could say it were a bit more relatable to the addict. A lot of “them” and “other” projection on us poor crack heads from “those that know better.” I’ll keep an eye out for more speakers on your channel from time to time.
Exactly. Superciliousness and objectification just make most wanna smoke s joint and ignore her. Too bad; she has knowledge but no people/communication skills, it seems
Life is stressful, people overeat all kinds of things. Why you think people smoke more in hospital biz, firefighters etc. People will do anything to relieve stress and suffering.
Please .. I will guarantee the anyone that is on hard drugs started with cigarettes then weed then on to everything else it's a ladder to a life of shite
20 yrs using it only until i went over my tolerance i build anxiety for three years but now im over anxiety and it made me stronger because i over came anxiety and never used other drugs like weaker people that leave cannabis
I think marijuana helps a lot of people in recovery if it's used appropriately with doctors advice. Or any other drug with diagnoses needs medicine it's medicine. Alcohol and cocaine is a gateway to other drugs... Marijuana just makes.me.sleep and eat it helped my bulimia at one point.
I have smoked dope for many years when I was younger. Took it up again when I was older and have never had any problems giving it up. I don't smoke it any more. I have never had withdrawal.
Quit condeming people who have lupus and don't need peoples crap dumped on their heads because you think you have the right to do that. We're all different.
Under what circumstances can cannabis-induced-psychosis happen? Does it happen when a person smoke regularly, in excessive and massive quantities without regarding any advice he gets even from cannabis gurus themselves and how to respect it? In case something like that happens, is it usually a medical emergency or treatable at home?
yes, very likely, impossible to trust any media or commercialized information and taking for granted without using independent critique and reasoning. @@MrMedicalUK
Cannabis is a MAGNIFYING glass for our internal state. We become MORE anxious, depressed, lazy, sad, happy, etc...when we use it because WE ALREADY FELT THAT WAY. It's bringing to the surface what is already there underneath and dormant. We should be paying attention to those things and combating them normally. People don't understand this about cannabis. It is a wonderful tool for self-awareness, reflection, and healing. Cannabis can't induce or cause psychosis...unless you ALREADY suffer from psychosis. Again, proving my point...it's a magnifying glass for what is already there under the surface internally. People really need to be educated.
It’s way easier for me to quit pills (any pills). It would be easy for me to quit cannabis if I would be subscribed perks and I only use the perks before swimming, and couple hours before bed. Then after a month, to give my body time to detox from the cannabis, then just quit the perks cold turkey. Easy peazy, but no doctor will prescribe perks for me. This works for me cause 💯% I know perks will physically hurt me, but except my lungs which I need for my swimming I understand weed is good for my MS.
I would neither encourage or discourage recreational use and not tell anyone what to use or smoke, but i'd keep a neutral stance on it which means i don't have a particular opinion about recreational use of any drug for purposes of entertainment, if people use it for medical purposes , involving chronic pain which the psyche and the physical disturbance are synchronized and one influences another, and should be given and immediately without and not charged a lot, but the drug is not entirely harmless without it's risks nor it's the most dangerous one, psychedelics aren't the dangerous ones and no body has died by ODing on them but harm to ones mental resilience and psyche may of have happened at one point in life when it's unpredictable effects kicked in.
It's easy. The one thing I found for myself that helps is hip hop. In this economy where most are surviving, nobody is going to be mentally stable, anxiety is at an all time high because of the state of the country sober. Anxiety pills just make you a bit sleepy, like zoloft. Because of an injury I can't work back breaking work anymore, but because of the current environment in the country people losing jobs and homes no matter how many hours or jobs you get left and right. Political tensions. Pharma is no joke either. I would rather not be dependent in pills either unless I had a life threatening disease where I need certain pills or I die. Too many people get hooked to pills from pharmacy too. Just because one has more money, like the racist g.o.p., does not mean they are right.
There are more alone people these days. I'm sure psychologists and psychiatrists are just back logged with patients in need of therapy these days. Less buying power means less social progress. Especially when losing your place despite how hard you work is a high possibility these days. I was homeless before and it wasn't fun. I worked from 14 to 30 when the injury happened. Work was a good mediator when you could afford to live on your own. Not just to survive. No progress whatsoever. That causes anxiety in itself. So how do you remedy that? More pills? More work? People are working full time out of their cars nowadays because rent and mortgages are way too expensive. People are working to die now. Which is why I chose not to have kids or get married yet
weed is not harmful... its only harmful if you use it to justify covering up an experience that happened in your past. its addictive because it allows you yo change your natural state compared when your natural state is depression which allows you to get away from that experience and its your job to look back at it and understand it. once you do that then you can work on getting back to a normal state. these people who dont understand addiction at all give so much advice that doesnt work because they dont really know what they are dealing with
Yeah, you never needed it, don't understand or even have the experience of it but you can still determine how it affects somebody else This stuff is controlling gaslighting
I was Raised in poverty. I don't think of weed like hard drugs. Prescribed pills are more dangerous and it's a proven fact. I have quit weed plenty of times. For a job or to study. Or just to clear my lungs and head
This video i kind of disagree with because there is research looking into the autism community which is plagued with eating disorders such as ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) and cannabis is the only thing that helps
Pot isnt what you think its medicine for chronic pain diseases people you dont knww how greatly it hepls those who actually seriously need it to function in an out of life with sever pain.people who dont wanna smoke quit an be sober its worth it but cannbis is always will be medicine to treat specific underlying problem we got nit for every one.... sure if it helps use it cautiously if not quit.
Weed is the most gentle drug out there ! Most nicest ,& we didn't get mom or siblings so its ok ! We got them it was a disaster! Y we smoke stuff, 💝 & love animals !
Drugs effect different people in different ways, there is no “gentle drug” I’ve seen people be laid back and happy asf from their first spliff and people having a complete meltdown and panic attack from their first spliff, its different for everyone
Ok, your biases are showing! And I’m Betting all of those who responded to this were paid and not very much to make it sound like there are alot of people suffering from pot?! What about the gate way drug of alcohol? If I weren’t drinking I probably never would have tried weed. Well probably not:) So I’ve been Smoking since I was 17 (I was drinking) and I’m 72 now . Ive lived with ptsd much my whole life. And weed has help me though those tough times! I took antidepressants which made me suicidal! But now I run ski lift weights and I’m very healthy! But that was ok after a back fusion I got to take 13 different pain meds a day! Weed helped get off of those 13 pain meds a day that were killing me! So pharmaceuticals are better because they are legal and someone was making billions off of people like me! But that’s ok?! So What drugs was she talking about to supposedly get off weed? And Of course there would be no side effects?! But after it was legalized here my pain doc got to prescribe weed. CBD weed which helps with pain greatly! Not to mention other health benefits it gives! So I guess I have to say it? with your biases you really don’t know what you are talking about! People are people and people what to fuss out and feel bette their life for a minute. Remove the guilt and people like you who preach lies and falsehoods and All will be good. By the way I’m removing you from my pod cast repertoire. Peace out and smoke weed:)
And ubiquitous constant environmental force fed crappy manipulative pop music, food, sex, and "religion." It's all routing through the same pathways....O', NO !
Weed is not a gsteway because no other drug is anything like it, and cannot therefore be better and those that go that toute did that with their own tendencies and were not sent tgere by pot. 😂
Love Anne when it comes to talking about Dopamine however this is pure dissonance from the podcaster and Anne, she is quick to point out that there is a lack of studies supporting it's use in the field however her and this podcaster don't seem to recall that there is also next to no science showing it's bad for us 😅. Yep you read that right folks do your due diligence before getting feared out of weed and if you're having issues perhaps review your dose? Most things make a U curve if too much is taken, also shit for studies on this unfortunately when it comes to THC, remember that when hearing these people crucify THC when they are talking 100mg and 10mg is exactly the same to them because they follow science and the science has not done a well funded study on doses 😅.
Two weeks into no weed and I already feel a bit more superhuman when it comes to socializing. Can’t imagine what it would be like 2-3 months in. Gonna stay strong

The addictive behavior affects everyone. Beware of quitting and just putting on another addiction. Chose healthy addictions because you will always be addicted to something.
3 weeks sober. So boring and depressing but I have to change. Pushing through trying to rediscover who I am without weed. I love it, but I have goals and it’s impeding my ambition. Making it feel ok to be where I am and it’s not ok. Hopefully once I accomplish these goals and become who I’m destined to be I can enjoy it moderately again.
I'm 6 Days Sober now and I my mornings are so depressing. I just don't want to do anything... I feel like I hate my life...
I'm looking forward for it to disappear in the next 4 weeks. Wish me best luck!
If you weren’t able to use it moderately when you needed to, to achieve goals it’s very doubtful you’d be able to do it moderately after your goals are achieved and you don’t need to use it moderatly as much. Best bet is to try to find other things to get your enjoyment in life from.
“Moderately” hahaha okay😂

Omg how much were you using! I’ve been smoking weed since I was 17 and I’ve quit numerous times in my life and I’m 72 and I’m still smoking! I will tell you one thing on a recent blood test where six months ago my cortisol level was 16 and a week ago it was down to 1 and I attribute that score was do to my uptake to smoking weed! All you out there who taking gateway drug are talking out of you butts! Get your facts straight! It’s not a gateway drug unless you make it that way! And oh yes after a back surgery my pain doc prescribed weed for pain! Over the 13 addictive Vicodin I was taking a day that I’m still addicted too! You are all Unbelievable
@@Morese56 cool story
Hardest part is keeping busy, you never realise how much weed you smoke just because your bored and to kill time
Congrats I relapse on the second day but still trying weed is no joke
@@Morese56 72 and still smoking, says a lot about weed being no joke. Never could say goodbye to that green bitch….
Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
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 Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later
I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them
again, either. I wish there was a good,
organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.
Haha, a bot comment with 11 bot replies.
almost 3 days sobar feel like dying but ill make it, ALL WITHDRAWS ARE IS ADDICTION LEAVING OUR BODY!!!!!
10th day for me. Luckily I am blessed with a loving supportive family. I was a heavy user for 20 years, I quit because I finally grew up. finally realized I was living a life that wasn't real. Quit to see how improvements in my physically training and sports will be. the first several days were brutal, insomnia, migraines , nausea and really pissed off. These days I'm feeling much better, thinking clearly and my workouts are actually much improved. The DREAMS are unreal. getting better sleep and my energy is through the roof. Mentally its a long road, but i feel unstoppable and much more confident in who I am. My family notices the difference and that's the important thing to me!! Stay the course, you can do it. Videos like these help me out so much! Aloha from Hawaii!!!!
5 months after quitting weed and still only getting 2-3 hours of sleep. It's like my brain is fucked now and forgot how to sleep.
@@srryan1
Try melatonin, not sure what THC does to brain but sleep disruption is a complaint I see a lot from long term users.
I don’t know I feel the term Gateway drug is kind of misused in a way people that are using hard drugs to forget things to numb things that have happened to them are using for a totally different reason than somebody that is using for pleasure enjoyment they do create a dependence on the drug, however Some cocaine, heroin, physical dependence you don’t have it you’re sick, but we I could never see weed being a problem in my life unless I didn’t have any lol serious. I do realize some people it affects them differently. I am recovering addict use marijuana for addictions reasons to help me stay away from other drugs takes the anxiety away for me and relaxes me. I don’t think I’ve ever found a weed that keeps me awake but anyway cool episode.
I've quit many times for a couple of months, but I keep going back. Putting myself through the withdrawal symptoms of anxiety, irritability, depression, and low energy again and again. Don't be like me - make it past the hump and quit for good! I think one of the hardest things about addiction is putting belief in yourself again after you've repeatedly failed.
i'm in the same boat, been so on and off. we got this
Went about seven years, only smoking for a week in summer and a week in winter, during vacation, for creative inspiration and celebration. Returning to work, I simply did not allow the option to mix smoking and work. A miraculous pattern, that I'd love to get back to.
This is our year, people! We can reach our goals, and make our lives our own!
I've attempted to quit it multiple times, but each attempt ended in failure. It's been nearly 10 years of cannabis use, and I've reached a point where I've had enough. Currently, I find myself with a confused and anxious mind. Three months ago, I lost my job because my performance deteriorated due to cannabis use, and now I'm falling behind in my studies. I urge anyone not to start smoking it. The recovery process is challenging but worth it. Today is my first day without it, and it feels like I might not make it through, but I know it's a crucial step in the right direction.
You got this...keep going...I smoked for almost 40 years and was able to quit...It's not easy but keep in mind there is a great sober life awaiting you...
Thanks for your kind words!@@windyacresway
How are you doing?
Hope it worked, and you are now experiencing freedom
Hope your keeping well and trying
Ive fallen off the wagon 2 to 3 times at this point. I always end up convincing myself that with a little discipline it wont get the best of me but when something life changing happens i go back to it for relief and it helps for a while until slowly but surely the benefits subside and the dependency stays. If you can actually moderate then i think its ok but some of us just cant or arent mentally strong enough yet and need more growth. Sober living is great. Youll always run into that friend that can smoke when he wants and not depend on it and it wavers your journey but thats not you. You quit for a reason keep on it and you will be rewarded. Working my way up to my next quit. Its part of the journey to relapse you just gotta get back on track. Good luck to everyone who needs that little pep talk.
big talk from the lady w the bong in her window!!!! (jk i have read dopamine nation like 3 times shes the best)
It's a vase, but pretty funny. You made me look.
5 days today 🖤
I am a parent of a teenager who smokes pot everyday. I really enjoyed your podcast, it was so informative.
Her answer on cannabis being a gateway drug really gained my trust. I hate when people say that and it makes me put my guard up. Also I must be a rare bread, because the reason I started using it is, because an unethical pain management doctor had me on a 25mcg and 50 mcg fentinal patch on each arm and per a set and morphine, all within eight months for fibromyalgia. That’s right, I didnt have a major injury or cancer, he loaded me up for fibromyalgia. Then when I said I can’t do this anymore he fired me, and my regular doctors wouldn’t help me. A Christian military wife came to my help with cannabis and that was in 2013 and I haven’t had any pain meds other then after my C Section since then.
Doctors don't "fire" patients...
You're an AI bot.
@@BumboLooks Yes they do, it happens all the time, especially to parents who do want to do the 72+ shots on the childhood schedule. Stop trolling.
@@kathrynkij5979 Wow AI bot that's amazing.
Maybe you should feed marijuana edibles to your newborn instead and see what happens?
Epic stuff right?
Excellent presentation about a major issue that is often clouded by all the misinformation out there along with the effects of these chemicals when we begin to use. This lady is a superstar in addiction treatment not only because of her knowledge, but her way of explaining these issues clearly while examining different points of view. A+ Doctor, from an addiction/mental health counselor of some 22 years here in San Francisco, and a person in recovery.
Into Day 4 COLD TURKEY and aside from a loss of appetite I feel amazing.
It is like waking up from a 46 year bad dream.
My next one in CAFFEINE which I will gradually wean myself off of because I get massive headaches when I have a lack of caffeine.
Dehydration probably.
I'm on Day 3. I am so proud of myself for making the decision to stop. Jesus has been my rock. Couldn't do this without JESUS! He has made it possible. I tried in my own will power and I couldn't. THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR STRENGTH TO STOP!
I tried the California sober thing this past summer, bought some gummies and my anxiety increased 1000%. No thank you!
Sorry to hear that but glad you had this realization that it increases your anxiety! Did you have a chance to check out the full episode?
What the heck is that?
@@Morese56 haha! No alcohol, but marijuana is ok…it’s a California thing. I realized I prefer zero substances.
My friend told me the same thing happened to him!
Yeah the gummies made me very anxious and paranoid 🥴🤦🏽♂️😳😬
I’ve smoked pot every day of my life since I was 18 and I’m 58 now! I got sick with the flu recently and had to take a break. I’m now 11 days sober and committed to quitting. Does anyone know when the vivid rem sleep stops? It’s night after night of nothing but rem sleep waking up in pool of sweat . I would have thought that would subside by now.
Could try other natural dopamine supplements
Check amino acids for brain health addiction and mood
Maybe day 30.
Great video. Weed probably won’t hurt a marriage like alcohol, thank god, but, especially if one person is using and the other not, I mean - if you’re smoking all the time, you’re not building memories with your partner, you have reduced motivation to plan and do things together a couple. Your communication suffers. Depending on your circumstance it can cause a financial strain. This isn’t only true if one person uses. And if you’re in a constantly altered state, do you know who you’re presenting to the world as yourself? Like who is your partner even married to.
Just how psychologically addictive the pleasant to smoke strains can be, i can get a runners 'high', by walking all the way from point A to point B and get the similar head rush and the come down and chill effect without risking stuff with my mental health or cognition, as well scoring and dealing with the under ground market products, i'm better that way, including tobacco garbage.
So much objective and evidence based content in this video. ❤
Such a helpful podcast. Thank you very much!
Thank you. Its addictive. Difficult to find this info. And Very grateful.
Thanks for the kind words! It's certainly addictive, looking forward to hearing your feedback on the episode!
Amazing episode! Super important material everyone needs to hear, especially young people
Tip for quitting weed and getting through any withdrawal: use caffeine (just not too late in the day) And use melatonin (don’t use it for too long). Caffeine lifts mood and creates more dopamine receptors (Huberman). Melatonin of course can help you sleep.
I have been sober since February 27and I'm still feeling the mental and anxiety emotional and stomach simtoms
Check out amino acids for addictions and mood
Even after 4 weeks the insomnia catches up with me and my day to day is ruined.
34:23 this is the question that I have been trying to find the answer to for years now. Thank you for asking it!
When she talks about smoking weed not being FDA approved, have you seen how the government allows all this fast food to be sold to us? you think the Government really cares about our health?
She's so educated on this subject as he asked good questions!
She is unbelievably biased.
thanks for the kind words! She's awesome. Biggest takeaway?
@@Morese56maybe too educated for you?
I’ve been a marijuana smoker for the past 15 years. Today is day number 7 of not smoking. I have relapsed everytime I’ve tried to quit. This time it’s different. I am mentally way stronger this time and I won’t relapse but need to to go one full month without smoking before I can say I’ve quit.
How's it going?
@@kozigotbeatz1240 it’s going great. I’ve not relapsed. Keeping myself physically active. I am doing strength training / swimming / yoga / high intensity interval training. I’ve lost almost 10 pounds already. I know if I stay idle m gonna go back to my old habits.
I feel great to be honest. Never felt better.I’ve been physically very active since I quit. I switch between swimming / yoga / strength training and high intensity interval training. The plan is to tire myself enough so I can sleep at night. So I workout twice a day. There’s def more clarity and focus throughout the day. I love this new life of mine.
@@Siddhant89 love that bro , I smoked for 15 year too and have just quit for the last 3 days. It's tough but I also feel great..best luck going forward
The one question he should have asked her is "do you have any personal experience with cannabis ?"
Great great interview! Thank you
She's so wonderful.
Wonderful broadcast thank you for sharing
Thank you.
it is sad how few people are listening to these videos, I guess ignorance truly is (artificial) bliss. I am guessing that starting with today's highly potent weed is going to create a whole new group of 'chemically coping' people, especially young kids using while their brain is still developing. Online selling of weed to minors has got to stop.
Confused listen to Huberman on what one glass of wine does to you a day and then tell me alcohol is not harmful.. I have PTSD cannabis saved my life literally..
My takeaway from this is Nicotine and Alcohol are just as big of “gateway drugs” as cannabis. I don’t know if Doug was ready for that one. Not defending cannabis, it’s being pushed too hard in today’s society.
Coffee is a gateway drug as well, most people abuse caffeine and don't understand the power of it's effects.
I love cannabis will probably always love it,but my health anxiety has put a stop to my daily tokes here lately.
I'm not going to use ice or cocaine because of weed 😂
My gateway drug before I used cannabis was alchohol
Adonis its great to read ur words, ill make it, im stoked to get to 5 months like you. Thanku very much mate!!
Fantastic 🎉
Thank you for making making this video. It's so so needed.
this conversation has amazing information in it if you look at the surface level of what drugs do and why they are used but what she isn't talking about is what happens to the brain to cause an individual to want to use drugs in the first place. The focus from most of the scientific "experts" is on the drug instead of the individual. One of these days we will figure out that it's up to the individual to search inside themselves to understand why they are doing what they are doing. Thus is not focused on the solution and is not giving much information on how to quit and why we are doing it in the first place except for using surface level localized issues which is missing the point entirely.
Because people are still uneducated about it.
Weak people blame substances and things outside of themselves.
Strong people look internally for answers.
Cannabis is a magnifying glass to help with self-awareness, but people become self-aware of their anxiety or depression while they're on cannabis and think it's the weed's fault they are like that lol NO! The weed is just showing them what is ALREADY UNDER THE SURFACE. It's just bringing it to light.
This lady still does'nt understand the stuff...and TONS of sheep in the comments here don't understand it either that are agreeing with her.
I’ve smoked weed for several years and needed to stop on my way for 3 week vacation in Florida. I was concerned about potential withdrawal and experienced none. No anxiety, depression or insomnia. Some people I know also smoked the weed for decades and just stopped cold turkey w/o any withdrawal symptoms.
I don’t agree with her opinion and deduce that may be the case for psychiatric reasons where people use it for psychological relief with which it helps and the symptoms return when they stop.
Excellent talk. I disagree with the thought that marijuana impairs one's ability to drive. I smoke and drive daily. I have had a perfect driving record for almost 20 years. But I don't drink alcohol at all. mixing the two is very bad for motor skills.
Yeah, she might be off on that one. But…considering the number of crappy drivers who are supposedly straight, she might have a point.
Everyone system is different , I have smoked for39 years , I can not for imagine how my life would have been without it. I am not saying go to extremes to feel the effect. Anything can be addictive, if respected , won’t abuse. Any who I believe in our rights … mind yours & I’ll mind mine.
Sooo, what if it doesnt cause me anxiety?
Thanks for sharing 🙏
I wish these videos wouldnt focus so much on anxiety. Most of them do. I dont have anxiety but cant seem to find videos focusing on releasing weed habits without going on and on about anxiety. Im sorry to people who experience it, seems like a lot of you, but who talks about no ill effects, just wanting to stop for financial or other reasons?
Thanks for your content. Wish I could say it were a bit more relatable to the addict. A lot of “them” and “other” projection on us poor crack heads from “those that know better.” I’ll keep an eye out for more speakers on your channel from time to time.
Exactly. Superciliousness and objectification just make most wanna smoke s joint and ignore her. Too bad; she has knowledge but no people/communication skills, it seems
Now that ive done another round of long overdue..trauma work..60 years old.
Im hoping to shake nicotine and daily pot
They tried that it was called prohibition and people still drank heavily.
And I always feel guilt and shame for NOT using cannabis edibles…even in small amounts like a quarter of one
What do you mean guilty for NOT using edibles??
Life is stressful, people overeat all kinds of things. Why you think people smoke more in hospital biz, firefighters etc. People will do anything to relieve stress and suffering.
"Spinning in that addiction vortex."
If you could compress the audio , it would be helpful because you're both using different quality microphones and speaking at different volumes.
Please .. I will guarantee the anyone that is on hard drugs started with cigarettes then weed then on to everything else it's a ladder to a life of shite
20 yrs using it only until i went over my tolerance i build anxiety for three years but now im over anxiety and it made me stronger because i over came anxiety and never used other drugs like weaker people that leave cannabis
She's good. And not preachy.
self hypnosis works.
I think marijuana helps a lot of people in recovery if it's used appropriately with doctors advice. Or any other drug with diagnoses needs medicine it's medicine. Alcohol and cocaine is a gateway to other drugs... Marijuana just makes.me.sleep and eat it helped my bulimia at one point.
Hell nicotine is a drug in my opinion it's worse than weed
@@AshleyArcuri-u9d nicotine is actually good for the brain unlike THC.
@@AshleyArcuri-u9d tell me how I quit weed cold turkey but always come back to nicotine. 🤬
I have smoked dope for many years when I was younger. Took it up again when I was older and have never had any problems giving it up. I don't smoke it any more. I have never had withdrawal.
So why u. Quit
When does this end
The minute you hit stop
Quit condeming people who have lupus and don't need peoples crap dumped on their heads because you think you have the right to do that. We're all different.
Under what circumstances can cannabis-induced-psychosis happen? Does it happen when a person smoke regularly, in excessive and massive quantities without regarding any advice he gets even from cannabis gurus themselves and how to respect it? In case something like that happens, is it usually a medical emergency or treatable at home?
If you already have it basically.
They are talking nonsense for 99% of this video
yes, very likely, impossible to trust any media or commercialized information and taking for granted without using independent critique and reasoning. @@MrMedicalUK
Cannabis is a MAGNIFYING glass for our internal state.
We become MORE anxious, depressed, lazy, sad, happy, etc...when we use it because WE ALREADY FELT THAT WAY. It's bringing to the surface what is already there underneath and dormant. We should be paying attention to those things and combating them normally.
People don't understand this about cannabis. It is a wonderful tool for self-awareness, reflection, and healing.
Cannabis can't induce or cause psychosis...unless you ALREADY suffer from psychosis. Again, proving my point...it's a magnifying glass for what is already there under the surface internally.
People really need to be educated.
These people! Ook, if you've never done it shut tf up!
@@MrMedicalUKpisses me off
I can't make it past 24 hour's.
I have smoked dop
It’s way easier for me to quit pills (any pills). It would be easy for me to quit cannabis if I would be subscribed perks and I only use the perks before swimming, and couple hours before bed. Then after a month, to give my body time to detox from the cannabis, then just quit the perks cold turkey. Easy peazy, but no doctor will prescribe perks for me. This works for me cause 💯% I know perks will physically hurt me, but except my lungs which I need for my swimming I understand weed is good for my MS.
Sounds like your addicted if you need percs too quit 🤣
I would neither encourage or discourage recreational use and not tell anyone what to use or smoke, but i'd keep a neutral stance on it which means i don't have a particular opinion about recreational use of any drug for purposes of entertainment, if people use it for medical purposes , involving chronic pain which the psyche and the physical disturbance are synchronized and one influences another, and should be given and immediately without and not charged a lot, but the drug is not entirely harmless without it's risks nor it's the most dangerous one, psychedelics aren't the dangerous ones and no body has died by ODing on them but harm to ones mental resilience and psyche may of have happened at one point in life when it's unpredictable effects kicked in.
Theres no way that someone would have a harder time with weed over heroin lmao 😂
Weed brought confidence and joy into my life, even with it's side effects. I thank God for it!! Anyone else's life improve from smoking?
It's easy. The one thing I found for myself that helps is hip hop. In this economy where most are surviving, nobody is going to be mentally stable, anxiety is at an all time high because of the state of the country sober. Anxiety pills just make you a bit sleepy, like zoloft. Because of an injury I can't work back breaking work anymore, but because of the current environment in the country people losing jobs and homes no matter how many hours or jobs you get left and right. Political tensions. Pharma is no joke either. I would rather not be dependent in pills either unless I had a life threatening disease where I need certain pills or I die. Too many people get hooked to pills from pharmacy too. Just because one has more money, like the racist g.o.p., does not mean they are right.
There are more alone people these days. I'm sure psychologists and psychiatrists are just back logged with patients in need of therapy these days. Less buying power means less social progress. Especially when losing your place despite how hard you work is a high possibility these days. I was homeless before and it wasn't fun. I worked from 14 to 30 when the injury happened. Work was a good mediator when you could afford to live on your own. Not just to survive. No progress whatsoever. That causes anxiety in itself. So how do you remedy that? More pills? More work? People are working full time out of their cars nowadays because rent and mortgages are way too expensive. People are working to die now. Which is why I chose not to have kids or get married yet
Any other former stoners keep seeing that blue vase in the background and want to take a big ol bong rip?
weed is not harmful... its only harmful if you use it to justify covering up an experience that happened in your past. its addictive because it allows you yo change your natural state compared when your natural state is depression which allows you to get away from that experience and its your job to look back at it and understand it. once you do that then you can work on getting back to a normal state. these people who dont understand addiction at all give so much advice that doesnt work because they dont really know what they are dealing with
Yeah, you never needed it, don't understand or even have the experience of it but you can still determine how it affects somebody else This stuff is controlling gaslighting

Still love weed. Guess I’m addicted 🤷♀️
I love weed. I love cigs. I love crack. Problem is, my life, lungs, and brain just can’t take it anymore.
Also, I’m discovering my brain makes better drugs than you can buy or grow
I was Raised in poverty. I don't think of weed like hard drugs. Prescribed pills are more dangerous and it's a proven fact. I have quit weed plenty of times. For a job or to study. Or just to clear my lungs and head
Meh! I think you are more addicted to shutting it down than I am to getting high!
Y’all gotta taper down
This video i kind of disagree with because there is research looking into the autism community which is plagued with eating disorders such as ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) and cannabis is the only thing that helps
Enough with this gateway drug shit. If you want to do hard drugs, you will anyway. Smoked weed for years without touching other stuff.
Sometimes, if you listen to ‘experts’ long enough, you discover they are just supercilious idiots.

Pot isnt what you think its medicine for chronic pain diseases people you dont knww how greatly it hepls those who actually seriously need it to function in an out of life with sever pain.people who dont wanna smoke quit an be sober its worth it but cannbis is always will be medicine to treat specific underlying problem we got nit for every one.... sure if it helps use it cautiously if not quit.

Ok, your biases are showing! And I’m Betting all of those who responded to this were paid and not very much to make it sound like there are alot of people suffering from pot?! What about the gate way drug of alcohol? If I weren’t drinking I probably never would have tried weed. Well probably not:) So I’ve been Smoking since I was 17 (I was drinking) and I’m 72 now . Ive lived with ptsd much my whole life. And weed has help me though those tough times! I took antidepressants which made me suicidal! But now I run ski lift weights and I’m very healthy! But that was ok after a back fusion I got to take 13 different pain meds a day! Weed helped get off of those 13 pain meds a day that were killing me! So pharmaceuticals are better because they are legal and someone was making billions off of people like me! But that’s ok?! So What drugs was she talking about to supposedly get off weed? And Of course there would be no side effects?! But after it was legalized here my pain doc got to prescribe weed. CBD weed which helps with pain greatly! Not to mention other health benefits it gives! So I guess I have to say it? with your biases you really don’t know what you are talking about! People are people and people what to fuss out and feel bette their life for a minute. Remove the guilt and people like you who preach lies and falsehoods and All will be good. By the way I’m removing you from my pod cast repertoire. Peace out and smoke weed:)

@@jadexx1 because they know deep down that their habit is not helping them
Nice inaccurate rant.
And ubiquitous constant environmental force fed crappy manipulative pop music, food, sex, and "religion." It's all routing through the same pathways....O', NO !
Weed is not a gsteway because no other drug is anything like it, and cannot therefore be better and those that go that toute did that with their own tendencies and were not sent tgere by pot. 😂
Ofc nicotine is and the alchocol and then comes weed usually.
Apparently these "experts" have done experiments of them selves lol
Absolute nonsense
I'm prescribed Cannabis for anxiety.
Love Anne when it comes to talking about Dopamine however this is pure dissonance from the podcaster and Anne, she is quick to point out that there is a lack of studies supporting it's use in the field however her and this podcaster don't seem to recall that there is also next to no science showing it's bad for us 😅.
Yep you read that right folks do your due diligence before getting feared out of weed and if you're having issues perhaps review your dose? Most things make a U curve if too much is taken, also shit for studies on this unfortunately when it comes to THC, remember that when hearing these people crucify THC when they are talking 100mg and 10mg is exactly the same to them because they follow science and the science has not done a well funded study on doses 😅.
Lol she doesnt know about "prohibition". And weeds a good medicine for alot of people. So, c:mon! Podcast version of reefer madness!!😂😂😂😂
