- In today's video I want to share with you why I stopped smoking weed. It was not an easy battle but today I am sober and will never go back to weed.
Quitting weed is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. It's so subtle and not a threat in the moment, so it's difficult to view as an enemy and often you're left questioning yourself like, "Why am I quitting weed?"
The thing is over time with daily prolonged usage it starts to eat at your true full potential. You become less productive, start to disconnect with reality and only care about yourself and having weed.
When I was addicted to weed I was an asshole. A selfish person who didn't care about other people, I was a fiend who was obsessed with having enough bud to make to through the week.
I quit weed for so many reasons but the main reason was to have my life back and not live like a slave to my mental addiction. Yes, it's an addiction. Not for all people but it's been proven 9% of pot smokers become very addicted without realizing it.
There's ways to tell if you're addicted to weed, do you get anxious when you run low or don't have any? Do you spend more money than you should to support the habit? What about lying to friends or family to make time to smoke on a daily/weekly basis?
If more than two of those questions are applicable to you than it's definitely time to stop smoking weed because you're suffering from weed addiction without knowing it.
For me, I was a massive addict for 8 years and literally accomplished hardly anything because all I cared about was being stoned. When I would try to quit I would have weed withdrawals and couldn't eat so I would give up and fall back into my old habits.
Sometimes the hardest adversities in life are a test so we can grow stronger and become the people we were meant to be. There's so many benefits of quitting weed like being more productive, having better relationships, enjoying the moment instead of thinking of the next high.
If you can moderate your smoking than quitting cannabis isn't really an issue because you have self control like how I do with alcohol. I quit weed because I couldn't moderate and it became an obsession.
Watch the video to the end if you want a complete break down of how to stop smoking weed and overcome weed addiction.

Dude you made me cry your knowledge is real and you’ve actually been through it so you know what to say it’s so nice of you bro thanks I’m 23 and trying to get my life together.Keep up the gospel of good knowledge
You got this bro. Keep working on your self , I admire young people that are working on their spiritual growth
Im 24 and i quit alcohol and weed and nicotine, im a teetotaller xD the people who i spend my time (friends) i dont wanna spend more time with them, the only motivation to hang out with them was the drug i think. Greatins for Argentina
I’m 23 now
dude your videos hit me so hard, ur so relatable, I stopped smoking 8 days ago and haven't smoked since, planning to keep it like this for a long time, it was stopping me from reaching greatness, gave me laziness and I was very unproductive while high, im 21 and I smoked for almost 5 years, 3 of those years everyday very hard
Broooooooo your my exact copy! Let’s do our brain justice and let it develop what made me stop for now is when I realized that I don’t HAVE to be high now it’s waiting for me whenever I’m ready and now I just want neurons to repair
Ugh.. I’m dealing with day one, and your video was so motivational, but literally as soon as you said $800 a month I’m like.. wow, he gets his oz’s for the low! 😩😳 anyways thanks for sharing! I’ve been smoking for 10 years come May. And my story is similar. Never had that habit until I started being around negative people!
Keep it up mane! I struggled aswell, but Im on a better path now
We're all going to make it! First step is acknowledging it's a problem and if you're already here brother than you're definitely headed in the right direction. I highly recommend you visit "Leaves" on Reddit. It's a group with over 100k members all dedicated to quitting smoking. That's where we go for support and to talk with like minded individuals. Anyways, hope you're having a good day! :)
This has been the content I have been looking for ❤ thanks dude.. I’m 25 and I decided I had enough of drugs (Weed, shrooms mixed with oxys) I’m close to three weeks clean and I’ve never felt better in my life but the dreams are taking a toll on me 😅 but I know I will get through this we all do 👊🏼
Don’t blame your friends for your actions you are your own self
Think you misunderstood the point of the video. Nobody is blaming their friends. However bad friends are not conducive to personal growth. Need good influences who help you get ahead.
hi Jesse. great video. super helpful. im 28 been smoking since I was 20. dropped out of medical school a few years ago. your video hit hard. you're a sikkunt (Australian slang). thank you. and by the way your ability to speak in one take without ums and ahs is impressive.
Dude I’m proud of you. Not easy! Respect
Thanks Toby ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
you read my mind.
On day 9 and I really enjoyed this video 💪🏾 related to everything you said in the first two minutes ‼️
how is it going? how are you now??
I have not smoked in 2 months now and I feel great I even started uploading my own videos the best decision I’ve made 🥰🙏🏾
Hey jesse please keep these videos coming , I’ve watched two of your videos now and they apply to me so much , you’re obviously a very smart man we can all learn of you and with these videos it’s helps me try and kick my weed addiction , I’m 24 now I started smoking at 16 and by the time I hit 18 it became a very heavy addiction , I’ve only been off it for 5 days but I can finally feel inside me that it’s time to quit!! The one down side is these horrible dreams I’ve been having but like your last video stated that means my brain is repairing itself , thanks Jesse best of luck my friend respect from england
Your words inspired me, a lot of honesty and a real desire to help yourself and others, you are a good man with a deep experience.
Your life will continue to increase in all aspect, that pain will turn into strength if you stay clean and keeping this mind set.
When he said the last kingdom on Netflix that hit home this time I’m quitting for life I’m ready for living once again my life has been destroyed time to build it back up. The last kingdom I picture myself as him lots of pain
I have just watched 2 of your videos and I have to say, thank you for sharing. It's so nice to see your progress and how many people you gave hope and strength. You definitely motivated me. 😊 I am stepping into my new chapter in 2 months, where I am moving to a different part of the world, again... but this time the story is completely different and I finally feel like I am doing things for myself and like this is my way out, my way to become who I really want to be. I have been smoking weed for (omg, still thinking after 30 sec) 13 years now, every single day. As you described it, except the part that I was smoking joints, haha. Anyways, I need to get my shit together ❤️ like you did. So thank you for sharing, it means a lot. I am reading at the moment Atomic Habits and The power of positive thinking, and from always I am extremely interested in the mind and how it works, so I am doing my medication practice, writing a journal, becoming more and more self aware and that is the I guess point for me. To get to know myself better and to be truly happy. Hopefully I will inspire more people with my stories as you do. Respect. ✌️
This really helped my focus! waoow. U hit helle close to home
much love man keep strong
Proud of you.
Really want to quit. Last one done today. Going to focus on training and gym and keep watching your videos.
was it really the last 1
U look like Tobey Maguire
Dang what did they find after you went to the doctors for vomiting and pooping blood? That must of been a scary experience.
Respect
Facts
Thanks!
You are gooooooood
Hello brother.. how can u get positive on 33days ? I sober around 1month and still being numb, anxiety to meet the people and craving for weed.. how can I change this shit feeling dude?
Positivity is a state a mind. That doesn't mean I'm happy all the time. I am MUCH happier now and stable. Some days I wake up in the morning grumpy though. My happiness now depends on food and exercise. If my stomach is full I'm happy! After I go running everyday and exercise with heavy weights I'm happy! I feel that's what really gets endorphins running in your system so you feel better my friend.
Also, I moved away and have zero possibility of getting weed where I live. If I was still living somewhere which had weed accessible I'm 100% positive I wouldn't feel as good as I do, because then it would be a daily mental battle of should smoke or not. Now I'm far away from where I've ever lived so it's like, out of sight out of mind.
Keep in mind, I saved up for eight months and planned to move away because I just wasn't able to quit on my own. I had dealers numbers memorized and couldn't break free for eight years, so I had to take drastic measures to get my life back in control. So glad I moved away though. I would recommend that if you can't escape it in your environment my friend.
@@BetterYouNow thanks for ur recommendations .. I'll try to follow it step by step hopefully I can overcome this weed withdrawal.. thank you for sharing it.. peace be upon to u..
Thanks brotha I appreciate the kind words. You got this man! Sometimes it takes the extreme to be able to quit, like me moving. If you can change your environment! Break the bong, trash the weed, delete numbers of everybody you know who smokes and block them on Facebook.
"Your desire to remain who you are limits you". That's a quote I love because it means holding on to our identity and habits won't let us grow, to change we have to give up our identity and who we are. Scary thought but it's worth it to live a better life my friend.
Also, watch my video about weed withdrawals for help quitting my friend :)
semangat hilang Youve gotta let yourself feel lazy and numb.. everybody who doesnt smoke feels like that some days, but when youre qitting its just harder because youre on withdral, it will stop man, find something relaxing or something you enjoy
@@semangathilang1620 bro im currently almost 10 months sober aprx 2 weeks until im there, and let me tell u I experienced withdrawls all the way up until 6 months and i started to feel really good after 8 months sober. Now i truly feel amazing. No more social anxiety nomore inner thoughts no more un confidance. It took a while but it was well worth it. Yesterday i was in this new internship for school. And i had no nervousness to speak to different people and expressing myself. I can truly say my confidance is back! So the truly best thing we can say is give it time! But its well worth it. Mind you i was having soci a's l anxiety even at 5 months. So it differs from ppl to ppl. But when ur brain gets use to the fact weed isnt in ur life again. Truly smazing things will happen. But u truly have to gp through the process and battle it out. But let me tell you, once your 7 months sober. Ur going to feel untop of the world!! Dont stop.. getting control of ur life back is priceless.
how about caffeine
Caffeine is a stimulant that has an impact on your heart it is technically a drug people just don't want to admit it
I searched for a review on a wrestling character and this video came up, 😂🤙🤙🔥
Hahaha well I used to wrestle in Miami, lol jk. Which wrestling character were you looking up? I'm pretty sure this was recommended prob because of your other watch history. Hope you liked the video my friend! Btw you seem really good at soccer/football if that's you freestyling :)
Cognitive dissonance 😁
