- Smoking weed for the first time is one hell of a ride. Smoking weed for the 100th time is a lot of fun, with some side effects.
But what about smoking so much weed every day, for such a long time you lost count?
How would it feel? Would there be any negative effects? When do you know you should quit smoking weed?
In this video, we tell the story about the experience of smoking a lot of weed for a really, really, really long time. The unofficial sequel to our “What it feels like first time smoking weed” - you can say.
Watch the video - and share with us your experience and your journey :) We’d love to hear.

Fuckin skywalker kush shit had me zooted
[These are long stories, keep in mind.] TLDR; I got beyond baked at school and it was my first time with any substance.
Well, the lowest of lows happened around 2019. (I was a highschool freshman at the time) Me and a couple of friends had P.E class together. We never stayed in the gym, because we were always outside either doing something on the track, the nature trail (which i have gotten high several times there) or the only other building near the gym: The Indoor Facility; the indoor facility was basically a tin building with football grass and giant cushioned blocks which were used to tackle.
We always fucked around, doing all kinds of stupid shit- fighting, making little parkour courses, and tying rope around one of our friends and dragging him. It was a good time, however, It just so happened that my friend, Dalton, had brought a mysterious looking 'vape pen'; me and him were best friends, yet i have never seen him prior with that vape pen. This was normal as we used to chainsmoke vapes and get in trouble a lot.
Before he 'let' us hit it, we opted to create a fort out of the cushions, with the idea to hotbox it. My other friends hit it, and it was then passed to me after the group had said "That doesn't taste like anything I've had before". I was tempted and decided I'd hit the biggest hit. Sure enough, I coughed my lungs up and my head was feeling light. Dalton then looked at me and said: "dude, you are gonna get so fucked!" I was confused, and thanks to my leisure this was definitely not the worst of it. Over time, I had begun to feel... disorientated as my thoughts started rolling in. Needless to say, I got paranoid, like, reallllyyy paranoid, and was just freaking out, being existential. At this point in the story, I had never gotten high before, at the time i didn't even know what a 'wax pen' was; I was a complete newbie. Anyways, the had to chauffeur me around for the next couple hours.
The 1st period bell had rung- my stomach dropped. I had to walk back to class, which was like, a quarter of a mile away from the indoor facility. My skin started to feel really Itchy like there were a bunch of centipedes crawling under my skin, I felt like I was flying.
The class ended and my friends escorted me to my next class. I got back to class after facing the stairs (don't recommend it). my girlfriend was in there and she knew something was up. She hugged me and told me I would be okay. I felt better
I fell asleep then woke up to my stomach turning, and my lungs feeling heavy. I was very hungry. (How i didn't green out is beyond me)
I was started to have a panic attack and I didn't have any water. It was pretty obvious I was high, my breathing was variated and my whole body was twitching. I laid my head down and felt so dissociated from reality, I heard people making fun of me, and people yelling my name. I am schizophrenic so this was 'normal' for me, but this time it was different. It felt like my body was leaking like I had the constant urge to piss. I then fell asleep, again with a box of school lunch on my desk, I was told to eat the food my girlfriend provided me.
The school had made Pizza; and holy shit! That was the best thing I had ever eaten, I had a sense of relief for a short period of time, then like before, my class ended, and my girlfriend had to leave me alone for the next class. I walked into my math class, zooted as fuck, walking like a zombie. Thank god we had a sub for my math class, so I could make up some stupid excuse (which I did), I told her I was prescribed new schizoactive medicine, which was true. The Sub didn't bother me.
*Bell rings*
I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror; I was still tripping balls. I saw myself, but It was scarier, I looked like a bug, with eyes all over my face.. I quickly rubbed my eyes to try envisioning something else, and locked myself in a bathroom stall. I took my time letting my bowels empty, then reached for the toilet paper; I met an enigma.
There was no toilet paper. I was having a fit, crying over the lack of toilet paper. There were people in there, so I had to wait till they got out so I could waddle to a different stall and wipe. Sweet relief.
I walked to my next class which was art, I could see my girlfriend this period so I sat right next to her and started ranting about nonsense, I don't know what was happening, but I felt safe, and I started to feel good. I was drawing In art which was fucking impossible. My vision started to brighten up and my sense of euphoria was started to wear off when..
Someone knocked on the class door and pulled my friend out of class... someone had snitched on him. He came back to class saying he made it out. They had searched but lucky for him he hid it "well." Someone else he gave to Pen, threw up and blamed him for it. I was terrified I'd be pulled out of class.
I met my next enemy.
Stairs. they felt so daunting. Putting my foot down to walk on them felt like jello, and my vision was acting up again, I made down the stairs as slow as possible.
People walked up to me and laughed, I didn't know what was happening so I laughed with them.
I met up with my small group of friends, one of my friends was a pot-head as well as a toadstool. He knew I was high by looking at me, I could smell my own weed-infested breath. We were by the bus and my girlfriend hugged me goodbye, I jiggled to my bus and sat in my seat.
This was terrifying, the bus felt like it was falling off a cliff, and the windows of the bus started to contort around me, I was so cold and alone, I was woken up by the bus driver telling me to that I'm at my stop, I got up and told him to have a good day. My dad was waiting for me in his truck asking how my day went. I told him tiring, I tried to act normal as best as I can, saying hello to my animals, and eating the food my mom normally made for me when I get home.
She had made the bombest egg-salad sandwich I had ever had, I felt so light In my bedroom, next to my cat, I fell asleep In my bed and woke up around 8:00 Pm, sweating while drool dripped from my mouth. I wasn't hallucinating anymore but I was still feeling messed up, I checked the Snapchat stories of my friends and sure enough, It was me, fucked up, clowning me. I wasn't mad, as the day I just had was a very big day. It's the reason I have started to become comfortable and responsible with drugs
Don't take pens, without knowing what it is, it will fuck you up. It's nothing like smoking weed and as a now experienced smoker, I have learnt to be more careful. Even if you have used a pen before, chances are, it will feel monumentally different. I give this message to any lower classman, and I hope to see you succeed in your HS life; take care, stranger, and smoke responsibly.
P.S - I've since broken up with her. I hate you Victoria.
Im not addicted to weed weed is addicted to me
@@seldomn06 nice story dude, I hope you take your storytelling skills somewhere. And yeah, the first time I tried a pen I was also a lot higher than normally, mostly because it's much more concentrated than a joint or something and thus harder to tell how much you took. But over time you can learn to smoke the correct amount.
I'm currently taking a pause from weed after wake and baking for about one and a half months and generally smoking for 2 years.
I stopped for my high school diploma since I realized, that I couldn't remember most shit I've learned over the last year or so, but it was so tough at first to actually stop. I thought to myself that I couldn't handle being sober over more than one day. Hell, I was scared to go to bed sober since I knew that the last time I took a pause from smoking I literally could only sleep after staying awake for at least 24 hours. But my best friend finally convinced me to pull through. And let me tell you, you're probably not even close to being addicted as much as you thought, when you were still smoking. At least that was the case for me, but I think, that I tryed to convince myself of being soooo addicted, just so that I could continue smoking. It's stupid to be honest (in germany we say Teufelskreis, don't know the word in english lol). Anyways, it was not even as bad as I thought. If you can't sleep, there is Melatonin or other things to help you. If you lost your appetite, you might only eat if you fell insanely hungry, but you still eat and after some time it's eventually coming back. If you're depressed, well in that case I can't recommend anything, but a shroom trip works for sure (I tripped shortly before I stopped since the withdrawal might lead to a bad trip). In any case there is gonna be something to overcome the withdrawal, so don't be a fuggen pussy like I have been and stop when you or the people around you notice that you're not well anymore with smoking so much. You will always be able to do it and it doesn't matter if you need help to stop, just make sure to stay healthy as good as you can. When you did the next hit will be sooo amazing, it's like the weed got it's magic back
I think that you can manage that. No, I'm 100% sure you can
I’ve found that moderation is necessary, because I used to endlessly smoke 24/7 and it got to the point that being high was my reality and being sober was my personal hell. I took a tolerance break for a month which is exactly what I needed because I immediately became less lazy and depressive. Now I smoke only two bowls a day, whereas I used to smoke 6 or more, and I get just as high smoking less than half as much. I also use it as a reward trigger to get things done before I consume. Smoke responsibly, don’t be miserable.
Well going from 6 bowls a day to 2 is a 300% decrease, which is of course good, but if you're smoking still everyday you're not smoking in moderation.
This
Yee I set a time for when I smoke so it doesn't affect my work
Same bro, but I always end up going back to bad old habits after that tolerance break. Google says it takes ~80 days for thc to leave your body, so you should aim for that.
i was doing this but realized since im an alcoholic i feel like i have to smoke 24/7 or ill become addicted again
This would be the perfekt prevention video for schools. Mostly because it shows the negative effects of cannabis not in an exaggerated way, but it’s relatable and emotionally binding the viewer. Especially with the animated video, which is underlining the message so well. Btw, I’m not a hater of weed in any means, I’m a recreational consumer and enjoyer myself, and the medical benefits for people with Parkinson’s and PTSD are just mindblowing.
yeah. the video shows there are both good sides and bad sides and it can be good as long as u dont overdo it, just like most things
@@theparkouringpotato there needs to be balance, for sure. completely agree
I think the video can only be understood by those who know what it means to smoke too much and for too long, if they had shown it to me at school it would not have prevented me from using it
weed is good and bad it just depend on the people. it can help as much it can destroyed.
Personally it triggers my ptsd.
i was a very functional stoner for 3 years, i completed my science degree with first class, contributed to a peice of acedemic writing, learned a language in my free time and ran often. the most important thing about weed is priorities, always prioritise everything else before weed and when its the end of the day and theres nothing left, then smoke. also pace yourself, smoke to much and eat too much junk you wont be productive the next day.
weed is not the problem, its always your attitude to it. abuse it and you abuse yourself
I agree with you Naomi, this needs to be pinned. And if you think you cannot moderate yourself, you should definitely try taking a break for about 2 months, then you will know when to smoke and when not to. Also, it depends on how your body reacts to weed. If you can get things done after smoking, you wanna smoke before doing your shit and if your body wants to relax after smoking, you should try smoking at the end of the day after you get things done. You will feel a lot better when you do so.
this take about doing stuff while smoking is textbook addiction, like, dont u realize there is plenty of ppl who do the same stuff as you do and dont even think about smoking? stop making as if weed ISNT the problem ,,,
@@whatfuckinwaster theres other side that u cant see.. like your point, are many people that only could learn, motivate and relax having weed, like some jobs u can do more, smarter ways because of weed.. but u cant see this, so..
This kind of thought makes you addictive... Be carefull! I know what i am talking about.
I'm very proud of you Naomi, such a nice advice for ppl that want to be or do the same type of things that you've made but with weed as a complement.
Smoking a j while watching knowing full well I’m addicted
Bro! Same...are you planning to stop anytime?
@@ipostmemes1107no
3 months sober from 2 years of almost daily usage and this video illustrates the weed addiction perfectly. I always knew I could quit whenever I wanted to but the problem was that I never wanted to quit. I don't plan on being sober for life but I'm definitely so much better now that I have cut out weed. Im alive.
I’ve been a daily smoker for over 10 years and this is my 5th day off of weed. I crave it a few times when I’m not doing much throughout the day, but it’s been getting better.
Keep it up bro
After 6 years of frequent and sometimes daily use, it took me one year sober for the cravings to stop. It felt like it would never stop, for a while. So if you feel that way, just keep going and it gets easier.
Keep it up bro. I’m just 1 week sober from smoking weed daily for over 5 years. I hope I’ll get better
And the nightmares start lol. Goddamn night sweats are intense.
Epic
Damn, this video is exactly on point. Active smoker for almost 2 years now and what he describes is Incredibly accurate. I had my daily smoking phase about a year ago and have reduced consumtion by alot since then but still its never quite the same as before i started smoking. That first joint changed my life, somtimes for better, other times for worse but it is and always will be a part of me as I can never undo what I have started
See ive been a daily toker since 4th grade and idk how to push through the threshold of no smoke days so some days i smoke a few blunts but most its just one after school or work
I smoked for 10 years straight, every day. I forgot what it felt like to feel sober. Im 3 months clean today and im barely starting to feel clear headed again. Im telling you, quit now, the longer you keep at it the harder it will be to get out of the haze. Before you know it many years will have passed and youll still be in the fking haze. Its no good.
@@DReyes-iz8vh yeah you are right, im trying tq quit but i find it quite difficult. Do you have any tips or something about staying clean as you already did 3 months wich is quite impressive
@@Pedro-kd4sm I dont know i guess it just kind of happened. The timespan in wich i smoked daily were honestly my worst days. I also smoked everyday after work but i did way too much and I always had paranoia. I think thats the reason I started reducing consumption.
@@bobaniusjr.7784 to tell you the truth bad mental health is what forced me to quit. I started to become extremely paranoid, distrustful of anything and anyone, even myself, to the point I think I qualify for a PPD diagnosis. It came on gradually and i had suspicions it was weed related but I loved the act of smoking so I just kept going and allowed the paranoia to get much worse. One day i realized this shit was limiting the way I live my life in every aspect, university, work, family, and it was just gonna get worse if i kept at it. What im telling you is, dont be me, dont wait until you find yourself in a mental hell hole to quit. Though some people apparently can smoke without issues, that is what personally made me quit.
When I was 15, I started smoking. But I was in school, and from a relatively poor family. So I would smoke at most once a week, or every two weeks, with a friend. Eventually I got older, and got a job, and had money of my own. Amazing, I could now smoke a little every day, if I wanted. And it was fun, so of course I did. Eventually it got to the point where I was spending about a quarter, or a third, of my monthly paycheck on it every time. Smoking two, sometimes three joints inbetween the time I woke up and went to work for the morning. Then I would smoke several more when I got home, into the late hours of the night. And repeated that process, about 7 or 8 years. Last year I had some weird health problems that landed me in hospital a few times and stopped me from wanting or really being able to get stoned. I had a lot of time to think during those times, and realised I wanted to make a change. Well I had known for years that I wanted to stop smoking eventually, but now I was actually willing and ready to do it. And quit casual drinking too, for much of the same reasons.
This year I have saved thousands already, that I would have burnt up previously. I feel more energetic, I am in slightly better shape and the other day my long term girlfriend complimented me and said that I seemed much more alive, observant, and generally present. I find it easier to talk to people in day to day life, without the anxieties of wondering if they know I'm high, wondering if they are judging me for it. I'm more motivated to actually make real changes, look for better job opportunities, look for opportunities for tranings, or education. And the best part is, I still have fun. Most of my friends still smoke, but I still enjoy their company, and they all are kind and understanding enough to respect my decision. We still game together, or go out for drinks when an occasion calls for it, and help each other out where we can. My appetite is better, as before I could rarely stomach eating breakfast to start the day, and would often just couch lock and ignore my basic needs, finding it easier to just stay in my chair and roll up another one.
I think a lot of is related to the dopamine receptors in the brain. If you are a heavy smoker, it feels like when you aren't smoking that you are missing out, that you are lower than normal. But all it takes to get through that is just a few weeks. The healing power of the brain is immense. Within just a few weeks of not smoking, you will realise that actually, food does still taste good. Music is still good to listen to. Sex still feels great, and interesting conversations can still be had. If I'm in a situation where people are smoking and someone goes to pass to me, I just say 'No thankyou, I was smoking a lot recently so I'm taking a break from it.', then I steer the conversation down a different path. No one gets offended. More for them, I guess.
I don't know where it was down the line that it stopped being fun and started detracting from my quality of life. It was a gradual change, that's what made it hard to recognise for so long. But I'm extremely glad I did in the end. I'm not against the idea of smoking weed, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone either.
If you really wanna spoil your dopamine receptors take ~2 grams of shrooms, half an hour later a blunt of weed, then immediately after that a cigarette. I saw god
I guess everyone is different 😂
damn bro im 17 and u literally just made me question my habits, you inspired me to completely remove marijuana from my life
ur an inspiration, im happy you won the battle and defeated the gladiator that was put in front of you
Legendary comeback
This is a very accurate video, thanks. I think it should be shown in schools instead of the old "weed=crystal meth" agenda that accomplishes nothing. I made a habit of getting stoned only on "special occasions", basically I get high as a reward for something I accomplished. I highly recommend doing that (not just with weed, also with alcohol, sugar and other pleasing but not too healthy substances). Also, the important thing to realize is that your default mindset must always be sober, not high/drunk, since otherwise you start to lose touch with reality, which won't help your situation. And try to smoke max. 2x a week, it feels much better than just being stoned all the time.
This is literally me right now. I've always been curious about weed, and when I had a chance to try it, it was fantastic! Everything became colorful, and even simple things felt special. I'm always craving for this type of relaxation. And day by day, I smoke more than yesterday until it compromises my surroundings. It affects my job, my relationship, my finances, and other stuff that is more important. When I discovered weed, I became dependent on it. I can't function like a normal human being; everything is fabricated. Things got bad, and the only solution that I know is to smoke. Instead of focusing on many important things, I'm just here smoking and too baked to take action. I always sacrificed the important stuff for short-term satisfaction, then suffered later on.
I've been there too, brother, wish you all the luck to overcome this state of mind!!
I smoke thrice a week nowadays, my resistance is pretty low (smoke less, trip more) so i'm not constantly stoned and can work as a functional human being whenever i want!
Some people be reliant on weed and don’t even know they’re addicted until they can’t go through a day without smoking.
It's because addiction is a disease. We all can be addicted to anything that gives us that seratonin/dopamine rush.
it sneaks up on you, it doesn't feel quite as addictive as something like nicotine does imo, but you start to crave that relaxed mindset all the time and it becomes an escape
@@Fr3nChFrYy Damn yeah
I am currently in the "daily smoking" phase described here, for about a year. Initially, I had an even higher high, due to low tolerance, and it was fascinating. Weed was everything: creativity, music, food. All the things I already liked, were upgraded by weed. And to be fair, even though I'm not the ideal scenario, being informed about it, and knowing the harmful effects really helped me on acknowledging it had to slow down.
I used to smoke about 3 joints a day, not much compared to some of the comments here, but I was clearly suffering from addiction symptoms, low appetite, general apathy and such. After a 5-day break the difference was already visible. Two weeks? Two joints throughout the day felt like a lot, and my appetite got really better. Nowadays I take these breaks every so often or when I'm seeing the consumption ramp up, like before.
I recommend watching a video called "What happens when you quit marijuana", which explains very well the phases of withdrawal, if you want to take breaks too.
Don't be afraid of stopping, or seeking help, it is necessary sometimes if you want marijuana to be a part of your life. You chose to light it the first time, you can choose to stay away from it for a while. It's up to you.
wow, your experience feels very similar to mine. Everything feels better and more interesting with weed, at least at first. I also had a low tolerance and started smoking every day when I moved to a legal state with my girlfriend who also smokes. I've stopped a couple times but I'm realizing that it's a lot harder to now. And I have so much brain fog all the time, lower energy, and my appetite is non existent, I eat when I think I should for the most part but I have almost no natural appetite. I really need to cut back. Thank you for the inspiration my friend, stay well
It gets bad sometimes, but not worse than before weed, ever.
Thanks
Thank you. These are the same thoughts I've been having and it's nice to see it asked like this and isn't just shame blaming
THIS IS SO FREAKIN GOOD!!!! Thanks for this, really gives some perspective to people going through similar questions themselves I would wager, definitely a helpful video to get people thinking about the own limits to their consumption that they should be setting if they don't already practice moderation. Some good things to think about for sure!
I used to be severely addicted to weed, primarily due to someone I once held dear in my life. Initially, it was an occasional activity that helped me alleviate pain and anxiety, allowing me to function as a normal human being. Being high felt like paradise, at least until it no longer did. I gradually developed a strong tolerance, and as my consumption increased, I felt as though I was losing pieces of myself. Ultimately, I became a mindless shell of the person I once was, both psychologically and physically addicted. No one had taught me how to moderate my intake or the importance of self-control. Before I knew it, I was spending thousands of dollars and consuming over a gram daily. When I no longer experienced the same high, I regrettably turned to harder substances.
A few months ago, I kicked the addiction to the curb. Those days were absolute hell. The physical withdrawals were debilitating, the things and trauma I stowed away came in like a tsunami, I felt empty. Then, I started to feel human again after a couple weeks. These days, life is amazing! I now recognize the pros and cons of using psychoactive substances and strive to educate others about them. My personal advice for everyone out there is to not try it. If you're already a smoker, make sure you don't have any responsibilities to do for the rest of the day or even the next day, keep it in regulation, only smoke on weekends, and take a few days break between sessions if you're a regular.
i feel that. i stopped smoking about a month ago when my shit got stolen and i can’t afford to restock. I was using a dab pen when i got up in the morning and at night to go to sleep, but I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal bc everyone says u can’t get addicted to weed.
But i was restless, hated eating, and basically hyperfixated on every negative memory for all of those first two weeks. I relived and overanalyzed all the bad things that have happened to me, breakups, deaths, and was justifying all my good qualities and memories as happenings of luck. Pretty much forgot what it means to love being in my skin. And i lost my ability to sleep so i was just living a nightmare of self doubt. My anxiety peaked and i felt more alone than ever because it seemed that none of my friends are going through the same constant internal voiceover.
After a month without a dab pen everything is clearer, tho i’m smoking weaker flower socially. i still can’t sleep which is why i’m typing out an obnoxiously long youtube comment. I need a ciggy
Great video as always. My consumption has also incresed noticably. The key is really to understand what is happening and looking backwords at where you once were and think of what will happen if you continue in my opinion. Moderation and control/discipline. Keep it up!
Fuck "moderation". Just stop smoking altogether. "Moderation" is just a way to justify the habit, even if it goes from every day to once a week. Today Im 3 months clean from a 10 year long smoke sesh.
@@DReyes-iz8vh Well done, treat yourself with a joint
Really depends what you are using it for, but I agree for the most part.
@@DReyes-iz8vh really depends on what the person wants
Nice video man, started smoking sometimes when I was 15, went to the college with 17 and started to smoke every day, I was really addicted, was the same felling of the video, every time thinking that all the things that was happening was because I smoke, now I have 21, and I smoke only in some weekend in sessions with my close friends, now I feel like weed is like a plus, not my personality. Guys, weed is very good, but don't let this be the priority of your life, smoke with responsibly and don't let this interfere with your work or relationships. A hug from Brazil and continue your amazing work.
what did you do to fix that feeling when life keeps rolling only by smoking weed?
Hey man, did you answer my question by any chance? Because if you did its been deleted for me and I really need to hear it can you please write it again? Ty
@@marakkobe5867 Man, I think I'm starting to understand myself now. Like, I used to take time for myself and organize my thoughts and traumas. It wasn't easy to free myself from this feeling. During the pandemic, I used to think about rolling a joint every day, but eventually, I realized that I wasn't enjoying it anymore. I was just using it to numb my traumas. So, I decided to quit and organize my mind while being sober. I have to tell you, that was my experience. I managed to overcome it on my own, but if I could advise my past self, I would tell him to go to therapy. You can't always fix your mind alone. I think that is it, good luck man.
Weed is not good, don't talk nonsense if you don't know science
Very very cool animation and narration. No matter how harmless it is, it's still a psychoactive substance and enjoying it is fine but so is moderation. As much as I like to smoke I do enjoy the times I either don't have any or can just choose not smoke it. Getting high while having those down mentality makes the high not as enjoyable for me because I just get in my head thinking about why I took some in the first place when I wasn't 100% down with it. I know a few people that spent hundreds of their income on it and don't bother with everything else. They drag you down into their perceived fun with the green but just sit there, unable to talk or do anything until they fall asleep to repeat the cycle.
It is really well expressed, nice ! For the young smokers or people starting to smoke, trust me It is exactly what it happened to me for my 15 to my 20.
gave me chills at the end, this really hits deep. Thanks, well done with the good video
same, hopefully we can stop completely one day
This video gave me chills. It captures what I'm currently struggling with so perfectly.
What an amazing artwork and deep talk, thanks man I needed that.
This one of the best videos about weed I have seen. At 13 schools still puts it at a level of coke and meth when it is no where near. And this does a really good job explaining it and how it effects people. Very good video.
DARE did this to me as a child, so when i tried weed and realized its harmless.... I moved onto xanax and painkillers because "well they lied about weed this must not be bad either" fast forward 10 years of hardcore addiction and 3 times in rehab... I am back to just smoking weed and wish all my friends who passed away from drugs did the same. Its crazy right now with opiates :( Oh yea mushrooms are beautiful too.. but the rest is downright evil lol.
Did not see that one coming. Hit right in the spot.
One of the best videos I saw in a long time
all I gotta say about this video is wow. incredibly beautiful and accurate. well conveyed concepts I've had in thought before.
Felt like I needed to see this. Especially the animation helping see the bigger picture. I need to cut back for real.. I felt everything the video explained.
Dang... I'm watching this high and it hits different.
same bro, this really had an impact on me.
As someone who is using weed for my anxiety... overuse was and is still an issue for myself... A few days ago (ironically the two days before 4/20) I sort of had the "eurika" moment this video is speaking of--- the lucky thing is I am making an effort now to moderate to every other day use instead of everyday several times a day... and i really wanted my friday joint today (after smoking yesterday)... and this video understanding every moment that went through my mind while comprehending my overuse motivates me not to but save it for another day :)
I resonate with this so much. The biking part got me because I used to bike to the dispensary in college so I chuckled at that. This really does capture the feeling of what it’s like to be so intertwined with it. It sucks.
Great vid, would be good to share with universities. One of my mates I occasionally see (goes to uni) smokes everyday, isn’t very productive and his house is a complete bando. I smoke when I can at the weekend, but this video is great for not hiding away from what is attractive to weed. It’s realistic and artistically shows how the drug can still consume you. I often hear everyone reiterate you “can’t become addicted to weed”.
Quitting weed, or even taking a long break from it, sucks, but only in the beginning. When you use a drug every single day, the idea of quitting it feels daunting and awful. When you start that break, you'll feel like being sober is an awful experience, but you need to realize that you're also going through marijuana withdrawals. In time, and not much of it, you'll find yourself feeling quicker, fresher, and alive again. You'll find the person you are when you allow yourself to be grounded, and you'll discover that you like them a lot more than you thought you would. I'm not anti-weed, but I think being perpetually high takes a lot out of life. Escaping reality is one thing, and it's easy to do. Conquering reality is a feeling that is incomparable to any high.
May the force be with you.
exactly, it’s all about moderation. If you, for example, have a lot of work and did a big part of it then smoke at night to relax and reward yourself, but don’t just smoke to escape the work you have
fua amigo, mas claro imposible, sos un crack.
Wow I really needed to see this and I got to remember this forever , I am quitting weed today and it always bothers me because I don’t know if I am quitting forever or just at this point in my life but honestly the answer is I must put myself first and once I don’t everything I planned to do in my life then maybe I can smoke but now I am about to lock in
@@jordanmarazzi3548 you got this :)
This is something I genuinely needed to hear, thank you
Beautifully bro...
From the story, animation, art style and narrations
I can totally relate to your story, I used to so much at one point in my life that it felt normal and being normal was like a high.
Everything in moderation I guess, best suggestion I got was from my grandpa about anything really. A little bit of anything is medicine but too much of anything is poison
i’m 16, in the last 6 months i’ve been addicted to molly and weed, but i realised i didn’t really get happy with everything that was going on. so i decided to go into rehab and be drug free, and i got to say, it is my best decision. life without weed and other drugs made me myself again, just like you said it would. moderation is key.
Glad your better hope your all good 🙏

My dude, that's amazing. With a developing brain, any substance addiction can definitely shape the way you turn out for good.
@@Tillipillihousu i have already had brain damage, mainly memory loss due to its supression and mixusage with marijuana and other drugs. fortunately my brain is still developing so most of the damage is being resolved
Im 16, I’m going to be checking into rehab soon, It’s hard to explain how I feel about it. Sometimes I worry about it and other times it scares me, but overall I know I need it.
amazing animation and storytelling as usual
he got the kings approval
As someone who smokes weed and also is interested in psychology/addiction/medical/philosophical topics
This is all of those, so far I’m really really enjoying this video thank you ❤
Edit: I really enjoy how this challenges my perspective of weed, drugs, psychology, addiction in particular. I live my life from a 3rd person perspective due to a medical condition I have.
This got really introspective in a similar way to humans & the intellectual thought process that one might go through through from a 1st person perspective.
That is like super interesting to me because of psychology, which is a subject I don’t really want to open a can of worms about…
It really makes me get to experience and empathize with the experience of someone who is addicted to cannabis.
Hey about you having to experience your existence in 3rd person..... What condition causes that.... Cuz yes I feel like I've always been able to take a neutral stance when it came to topics and arguments and to a large extent listen to and experience things in 3rd person ..... It was kinda natural to me and I thought it might due to some type of detachment or dissociation that became a habit due to some suppressed emotions or coping mechanism..... I have largely managed to use this to an advantage and it has helped me make sense of a lot of my thoughts but it never made sense to me why..... I always thought with some amount of apathy and critical thinking anyone could divide themselves into 3 bodies, I call them the personal, the empathiser, and the neutral.....
@@HarshSingh-to5nl the symptom that causes that for me is dissociation. The medical conditions that causes that symptom for me is ptsd, ocd, anxiety, panic attacks.
I know people describe it as feeling like they’re in a dream, or they just feel weird. BUT that’s not the only symptom of it, this symptom gives me those big existential thoughts, philosophical type thoughts and curiosity/interest in answering the unanswerable
It’s also worthy to note that cannabis can cause dissociation for some, and also worth nothing that my dissociation isn’t from cannabis & that when cannabis brings down my anxiety my dissociation can feel less intense.
For people that get dissociation from cannabis, this will not be their experience and they will feel worse if they smoke cannabis.
@@HarshSingh-to5nl I also think some of us have biological reasons and personality traits that can lead us to thinking about these things.
For example, I have the same personality type as Albert Einstein & he was a big thinker
@@Wolvious thank you 🌻 I guess dissociation is a big part of it and given my history with anxiety, adhd, overthinking and weed everything you said made sense .... Thank you so much cuz this is the first time I've met someone and felt like they knew what I felt like ..... And I don't mean to say that people in my life never tried or came close but I could see their efforts and what they lacked but it was harder for me to explain it to them while with you I can hear what you're saying and it is making sense.....
@@HarshSingh-to5nl you’re welcome It’s a big part of my history too. I personally think that some form of exposure therapy had a side effect, where I can dissociate and not react to the feeling… in my opinion it’s kinda a superpower if you can frame it correctly in your perspective
Edit; my point is that may be dissociation, but also people without out this I assume don’t get to think as deeply for so long and so easily. Working with my therapist to help maintain and improve my functioning in life helps, as when your disconnected you can unintentionally not take care of your mental health, leading to decline in physical health, which compounds the mental health issues, which ends up causing you to dissociate more (which is bad)
But ive noticed my disconnected state causes dysfunction in my life along with my other things like adhd & trauma… so having a therapist that can help me maintain a routine and ways to ground is really important. Without my therapist I would just sit around and think, and do nothing else because I’m thinking
Therapy helped the behavioral parts of it and continues to help, because it can leave me doing nothing and something else has to remind me to enjoy existing lol 😂
I smoked weed nonstop from age 13 to 19. Stopping it was literally one of the best choices i made for my life. Granted I believe that everyone is different and I had a very addictive personality but nothing could convince me to smoke weed again, thats how much my life improved. Its like coming out of a fog and actually living your life fully
Keep going
Bro nice vid. Im on 27 day of my weed break and on 04.20(in 2 days) it will end.
Your monologue is like a reflexion of my expirience, life has become brighter when i smoked. But it was 1-2 times a week and then 2+ times a day all month. Just like you said, ordinary things seemed too dim. At some point i realized that weed is ruining all the activities and cognitive functions.
When i went on break it was hard to maintain soberness, cuz everybody around smoked right in front of me, but the more i refrained, the easier it was for me, i even continued to refrain when my planned break ended (week ago).
Your last question about who am i is very important part of life understanding. People believe in ideas, and ideas come from mind. Your mind is trapping you in thoughts, they come and they come and you fall for it. For me personally, its hard to believe in politics, money or love, cuz we are space dust and you know like big bang and its just makes no sense. Im not saying that i dont love, i dont earn money, i dont help people fight the government usurped by 1990's bandits(i live in Russia). I just look at my thoughts and they are dissappearing like bad dream. My advice to you is ask who am i question more often and follow only one thought, not hundreds of them. If you read up to this moment thanks! And goodbye)
P.S sorry if english bad, i wasnt practicing it for months. Im only 16 and a half years old btw))0
Have fun
I'm a non addicted stoner, that sounds stupid but I love being sober as much as I love being high, I have been smoking for about 20 years and I have never experienced this... addicted feeling I guess, I never hunger or prefer it from being sober but it is a good way to unwind after a workout or a hard day at work. Plus it helps with depression alot and I feel if you just don't abuse it (Smoking all day everyday) you can be a productive member of society and be a smoker.
In one week how many joints you smoke
@@jofephclimber3104 lmaoooo😂 don't do bro like that he probably gets absolutely faded after work as a treat for completing his task work chores or whatever it is as long as he respectful and does it indoors just like in legal states
@@memesyandhorrorshorts He could try to limited two times per month
Like a mirror drinker?! Lies, lies, lies
this is exactly how I feel, and it doesn’t help when you have friends telling you how it’s not possible to get addicted to weed, while at the same time we can’t do anything fun without taking breaks to smoke a blunt. i’ve been trying to quit but recently i’ve started only smoking at nighttime, like around 9 or 10. It makes it so I still can look forward to smoking everyday, meanwhile I can stay a lil more clearheaded during the day. definitely better than waking up and chiefing the entire day and pushing problems to the side, It’s also an insignificant part of the day so I don’t feel guilty thinking I could be doing better things.
Just some fyi, physically your body does not get addicted to weed, unlike other drugs where your body will suffer from if you stop taking that drug. This is a withdrawal, some drug withdrawal includes high fever, throwing up, etc. However mentally yes people have been addicted to weed. Surprisingly, your mental state is much more powerful and will affect how you feel and act. I think it's important for people to understand this and possibly know moving forward how this can affect you so you can have the right mindset before making certain decisions.
i smoked weed like a chimney for the better part of 7 years, and while i thought it was beneficial for me in alot of the aspects you described, it slowly stripped away my motivation and prospection. As the amount of weed i smoked increased every month, week, day, it made me fine with being some sort of loser, fine with being alone, fine with having bad finances, fine with having absolutely no future... Some day it just hit me, and knew that i was no better than the next addict. Happy to say ive been weed free for months and it feels like a breath of fresh air. Dont let people say weed is not addictive and not harmful. It kinda creeps up on you.
This video describe exactly how i've been feeling these last few years. Weed addiction is real, and is no joke
Fantastic job, excellent animation
Faaaantastic video. Relatable, true, well-written, and beautifully animated. Thank you!!
for the past few months, I've seen my increase in the use of marijuana, to really null the pain of stress, anxiety, and growing up, since I'm a senior in high school now. life is moving so quickly, and with so many different things on my plate, it becomes hard to manage and focus my time on all these important activities. weed definitely doesn't hurt, the times I've tried to quit are flawless, with no physical dependency at all. but, when I do, life seems dull. the best thing I would want to tell someone who wants to try marijuana (or the advice I wish I heard the first time I tried it), is that if you want to get roped into it you can, but there are also, in my experience, many other healthier ways to cope with your problems in life. I'm still young, and I'm still learning, and closing yourself off to opportunities just to get high will hurt you now, and later. moderation is key in everything in life, weed will not kill you, it will not destroy your life. but it will taint it enough to start hurting the things you have worked super hard for. that's what I've learned, stay safe.
That's exactly what happened to me and I even tried to balance, reduce the amount of the weed that I was smoking, tried to found a sweet spot but FOR ME the sweet spot was not getting high anymore. I'm 6 years sober now, best decision I ever made.
i've been smoking 10 years, i'm 28 now. You need tolerance breaks, even if it doesn't affect your daily life, you're just too stoned to realize that every single thing you do turns around weed. Ypu literally wake up thinking about getting high, you eat thinking about getting high, you do your shores thinking about getting high, everything becomes that and THAT IS WHAT REALLY FUCKES U UP
youll never know how much this video means to some people because this is a semi anonymous internet account, but thank you. Keep up the good work.
Amazing work, you’re so talented keep going
Used to go 1 month smoking, 1 month tolerance break. But i have been going through a really rough patch lately and i'm currently forcing myself to take a break and weed has been such a helping hand with the rough patch, but it's so so important to take a break.
Yeah, it is really important to take breaks. Then you really appreciate the highs better.
lol
I think taking a break from anything in life so can reflect what’s best for you is the smartest idea any1 can have
Happy 420 folks
Great video I really like the cinematic exposition at 0:54 and you cut on some very interesting philosophical topics in this video, but don’t go into them further (to be fair probably to cut back on animation time). I also like that you make the protagonist not act dumb (for example that he does research on the substance), but instead more realistic with his motivations, problems and especially depression, but also feels like you dumbed the protagonist down at 1:40 when he talked about addiction. Still overall great video hope you keep going and I’m sure you can become very successful RUclipsr
Haven't related to any video more than this. absolutely class. Keep it up
Glad you liked it!
I smoked heavily 24/7 for 7 years straight and quit about 250 days ago now and things have been nothing but positive for me. I’m really glad I stopped. I relate to this a lot and I just have to say if you are feeling like this in any way: consider trying to quit. It sucks at first but when you fully sober up things improve so much. Weed is great for many people but I think a lot of other people aren’t self aware enough to realize when it’s bad for them. If you feel like this video does that is self awareness about it that many people do not have.
i just cant get out of that lost, hopeless state of mind that comes right after. i know exactly what i must do until the time comes. then my mind goes blank, i get scared & relapse. any tips for that?
Facts haven't smoked in a week I was a everyday stoner
@@xfistedwaffle3167 you have to remember that you don’t like it anymore when you’re clean and not get tricked by your mind that you’re missing out. Even if you don’t feel good clean either yet you will eventually, you have to give your brain time to balance itself.
im addicted. smoke so much it physically hurts. used to help my social anxiety, now i find it hard to talk to my best friends. ive let the addiction lead me into a life im ashamed of. I live like a recluse, I'm supposed to be pursuing music as a last-ditch effort at doing something with my life, but I'm too goddamned lazy to try and make any of my ideas a reality. as im typing this i'm desperately fighting the urge to go and smoke the negativity away...
chequefibs√√
Excellent video. Can relate as a consumer, I like doing it after I'm done with all my responsabilities but did experience basically all matters adressed on this video.
I love this,keep up the good work❤
Use weed as a reward trigger
Do all the work needed anticipating you'll get a good blunt after whatever work you were doing
It really feels good afterwards
Good animation, really nails the point!
This was the best thing i ever watched and it perfectly fits the situation am in but it got more serious a lot more serious...
I'm on this exact same line of think at the moment. I feel so... stuck and confused about where I am in life. It's always so easy to just go back to smoking but as time goes on you realise it's not really providing the solution to what you were looking for. I still can't tell if it's because of life's problems or if it's because I'm aware from the smoking that's made me feel so different about the way I see things. I think this is why it can lead to depression but it's a very complex issue.
just the video i needed in these times, tnx
Hey glad I could help in some ways. What's your story?
For me, what helped weirdly enough was experiencing different methods of consumption. Since I started eating Cannabis the high felt different and less addictive, and now I dab once evey couple days not for a specific reason but when the mood hits. Ive learned that Im OK in every situation, weed taught me that. So now I only smoke smoke on weekends cause it can really hurt your cardio and respiratory system. If you really value "Feeling Good" working out and running highs are 100% more fulfilling and awarding. Running while high kinda sucks cause your lungs are irritated but biking while high is soooo much fun
What do you do when your not working out tho I’ve been finding myself in this problem I can’t seem to sober up because it’s so boring not smoking and that’s what I feel my time with normally, so what should I fill my time with now I’ve been reading but that’ gets boring my phone sucks it feels like constant scrolling
@@inside_nicks_mind4823 just stay busy, I would start a project dont think how long it will take just start a project and dive deep. Meth helps aswell jk
@@sedled2829 a lil meth and I’ll take some steroids while I’m at it they’ve never hurt anyone 🤣
yea dude, it's the fulfillment that self-improvement brings that feels better than any high in the world. When you smoke, the effects go away, but when you exercise and change your body for the better, nobody can take it away from you. I love running, and luckily that motivation is keeping my smoking in moderation.
@@Koliflower thats awesome, glad we're growing, proud of you Fellow human
This is exactly what I've been through , thanks for making this video it gives me nostalgia and i try to rethink about my life when i was addicted to weed , on the other hand i feel that weed affect differently on introverted person
What is the difference between introverted highs and extroverted highs?
I love this animation style! It's so sick
Hi, Weed smoker, Cigar smoker here. I do this to unwind. I don't let the weed effect my work. You see, what went wrong here is the person obsessively smoked. It improved them, but it's a double edged dagger. Moderation is key. I've never smoked more than 2 blunts in a day. And I only do it at the evening, when I'm done with all of my work. I sit back, relax and smoke some Indica. And I do a quote "Detoxification" for two weeks at a time, every month. So, Not very active. I stop all weed intake, alcohol, and nicotine. Make sure you smoke at a moderation, and be aware. Happy smoking.
I’m just under 6 weeks of weed and I feel the best I’ve felt in a while I was smoking every day from 15 to 19 and when I turned 20 I thought enough is enough eventually it caused more problems than it fixed left me anxious anti social and alone hope I never go back tbh
wow its really beautiful and it really changed my perspective, thank you team Lazy Owl, you are amazing.
That was beautiful, man. I didn't know that I wasn't alone with these thoughts. Maybe I should take a break.
This video is just awesome ❤ If you struggle to stop, here's a trick that might help: Try to change another habit/routine (something meaningful to you) and quit at the same time. It will hopefully help you focus on the new challenge or environment and feel less tempted to go back to the old habits. Any drugs that you need 24/7 will become a problem in your life. Peace and love all ✌️
Never smoke to change your mood, if your depressed don't use weed as a coping mechanism it's bound to end badly
Im glad not just me feel this way like you say in the video. It’s a scary, horrible feeling. Thank you for this video man!
I tried weed when I was 13 years old, I was exposed to a little amount but it the feeling I got from the first hit was insane. I loved the feeling I got from it, the feeling of escaping something.
I continued to dabble with marijuana a little bit.. but it never controlled me, until I started smoking for the SOLE reason to escape my reality. I wasn’t happy in my own mind or body and weed made all of that go away. I smoked way to much and got hooked into smoking daily..
After awhile I found myself smoking just to smoke and the feeling I got from it wasn’t even near what the first time was like. One thing marijuana takes from you is your self control, I found myself eating more food and watching more porn than ever while stoned..
I realized that smoking became a issue and it was very difficult to come to that conclusion. I loved it, I loved the feeling I got.
Quiting cold Turkey surely wasn’t the best option. A plant this good can be enjoyed in moderation. You don’t have to spend all your money or time on weed. Use weed as a tool in your everyday life. Like after a hard week or work, a couple bowls wouldn’t hurt 🫡
Insane accuracy! ❤
You’ve perfectly described weed addiction probs
I use to smoke everyday for 6+ years but after quiting for about 3 months now the energy I feel is incredible
I've been really down lately which has lead me to smoke more regularly but talking to my therapist, friends, and even videos like these that really remind me how to keep myself from going down this road. While I am smoking more, I only smoke at night and I mix other herbs like lavendar and mugwort to my weed so I don't have a crazy tolerance. It's important to have that separaation of sobriety and being high. I like to fall aasleep high cuz in the morning I wake up with a sobe rmind, kind of motivates me. If I get through the day and get my work done, I can reward myself with a nice bowl.
cant trying out my new bong! hahaha clasic me :D great video by the way bro!
I've been continuously high for about 2 years and as of now I'm as happy as I've ever been
Brilliant animation and narrations combined. I feel you bro, I'm also in the same state. And to be honest, I don't know the answer either.
Thank you for this piece of art. I quit smoking w33d for good around 3 or 4 years ago. I have done it in counted ocations since then, just to vow down in paranoia and anxiety attacks, close to making me sh!t on my pants. I can relate to every part of the story, EVERY SINGLE ONE; the saddest part is what i miss the most about this w33d stage of my life, that awesome boost in self confidence. God, I just gave a deep sigh writing this comment. Anyways, my Highest High was trying a sample wax for the first time; the best drive back home in the copilot seat. Street lights melting in a sort of light painting through the windshield, forgeting about my responsabilities and worries. My lowest low, perhaps realizing how much bottom I have touched, wasting away 2 years of my life, lying in my bed and a friend watching an addicted dude who only cared about the daily dose of that substance, which he was using to escape or avoid his reality, Me.
People will say "w33d addiction is a myth" "you can't get addicted to Mama J". Uhm, you can, depending on a variety of features, atributes and aspects of your personality. When you feel you've reached a never ending stage of dependency to any substance, just to avoid reality, that's called an addiction. So yes, it CAN happen. Be careful with who you surround yourself, and if the situation is very overwhelming for you, its time to ask for help.
Moderation is good, but it depends on what type of discipline one has. This is not for everybody, it can be controlled as much as it can cause addiction.
When I was 13 I started smoking and let me tell you, this video does not relate to me at all. I'm not saying that weed isn't addictive, I am very addicted to weed and I am also not saying that a weed addiction isn't bad, it can definitely worsen your life. the first minute of this video is about a friendship he lost due to weed, I have never seen anyone that's so high they can't say something as simple as "yes" and I feel that it's more common to lose friends when you stop smoking rather than start smoking (but I live in Amsterdam so pretty much all of my friends are smoking 24/7). Then he talks for about 1 and a half minute about how amazing weed was for him, and while I agree that being high feels great, it's not a world changing experience, especially if you've built up a tolerance. I'd say it's just a nice, mild, mood boosting buzz, not some kind of social or creativity doping that gives life more colours and sounds more "vibrance". The rest of the video is about his addiction getting worse and that he stops dealing with his problems. This is the only part of the video that relates to me a little, the tricky thing about addictions is that they get worse if you let them and as a 13 yo that couldn't see myself getting addicted to any substance, I kept saying "I'm not addicted" "I'm not addicted" until I realised I very much was/am addicted (it also didn't help that everyone around me kept saying that weed isn't addictive while it very much is). 1 of the side effects of a weed addiction is that you'll get lazier and stop dealing with your problems, in my case I don't think this was very bad though (at least in the beginning) because my only problem (or at least my biggest problem) was having to go to school and suffer the abuse my teachers would put me through (I feel like the word abuse might be too heavy since it was never physical and not that extreme, but I was for example told to go kill myself by 2 separate teachers), weed made me realise that I could skip school and as long as I came to the tests there was nothing to worry about, this absolutely changed my life for the better. But now being a lazy fuck isn't always as nice as it once was, it's very hard for example to leave my comfort zone and together with my terrible experience of school, I can't imagine having a good or even reasonable experience at a college, university or a job and not having a positive perception of the future often gets me depressed and even suicidal... so... yeah... I need a joint... thx for coming to my ted talk.
Right there with you. This video is a bit dramatic in my opinion. Super exaggerated and just sounds like the dude already sucked and is blaming weed for his sucky nature. Shits lame, do better, don’t smoke if you blame weed for all your personal shortcomings, but don’t demonize weed when the problem is most likely YOU. This video is lame.
Your welcome Jesus Christ bro
It's been a little more than a year since I last smoked. I honestly don't know why I didn't quit earlier. Most of the times I've smoked it's been just nervousness and shutting myself off. When I started it was different, sure, but not really. It still have moments where I would shut down after smoking, my heart beating fast, no words to be said, and no-one I could talk to from fear of being called lightweight or a p***y. Being a introvert I thought that was the reason for my freaking out. Yet I couldn't stop because that was the reason my friend group would gather for, or maybe when we gathered it was almost self explanatory that we would smoke. That also wasn't how things where when we started smoking.
I completely get what u mean. I used to smoke and get into "lock" mode, I dont speak because I know my high is different than everyone elses. Sometimes I am social and outgoing on weed, but really i mostly fall into my own mind. I didnt want to be viewed as a lightweight, but once I quit smoking socially my friends respected my opinion and hanging out with them became much more enjoyable
Your friends sound really mean, for shaming you for feeling anxious on weed
Thank you for this very accurate animation, it's kinda scary to see that it's my reality too
Exactly speaking my mind out loud. feels good not to be alone .
Honestly I related a lot to this. I use cannabis but I have to remember to take long breaks if I ever start to feel cynical or fiendy like portrayed in the video.
Weed makes me lazy and procrastinate and when I do something it’s a half ass job. I quit weed decades ago after years of smoking. No alcohol either. I like 🍄 a couple of times a year though.
Oh boy I needed this
his voice actually so relaxing it’s amazing
I´ve been smoking since I was 18 so for about 5 years now, and I never felt like it was a problem for me or rather I´ve never wanted to blame weed for the ways I was feeling and how I´ve been reacting to many things in my day to day life. This last few days have been the first I´ve spent without smoking since January of 2021 and watching this video and the comments made me realize how deep of an effect Weed has taken in my life to the point where I felt like if weed wasn´t a part of a social plan or the reason to a meeting I would just stay at home and smoke by myself since I felt like that was the better option, if I had stress or something to worry about I would smoke to worry less about it and to help me go through it. This video really helped me to recognize a lot of things and I will make the best effort to take control of my life again for the better, I still love weed and I will probably still use it with my friends time to time but smoking daily and having craves are things that I definitely don´t want anymore. I hope this video makes it to a lot of people since it represent perfectly how smoking every day and relying on it affects your life and experiences for the worst. So my adviceas a consumer who hates to admit having a problem is to learn to respect the za and learing how to use it to enjoy a moment and not to use it to numb your feelings and hoping that problems will solve by themselves because that will never happen.
Wow, it's amazing how everyone reacts different to drugs. Personally my social anxiety gets multiplied by 1000 when I am high
you're one of the lucky ones, cuz now you have no motivation to touch the stuff, have fun and take good care of your health!
@@Koliflower your wrong, my addicted ass still smokes every day, the only difference is that I only smoke at home alone
@@salodip3480 I have the opposite affect, it makes conversations flow much easier. You should quit smoking and switch to a vaporizer, its much better for you then smoking.
@@salodip3480that is me, to a tee. You're not alone my friend, hope it all gets better ✌️🙂
This should be the video that they show highschoolers for warning them about the downsides of smoking weed. I really like the focus you took in this short and amazing video thanks sincerely.
Btw I’m a responsible user of cannabis currently but I know sometimes the drug controls you, hope that people trying to unhook from it can make it 💪🏻
This was just rk relatable. At first, it helped me take off the edge from my crippling anxiety and even helped me calm down my nerves and get some quality studying to get into med school. I felt the greatest in years, i felt so alive and in touch with the world, like meditation.
Fast forward, it took five months of regular use to get a hint that im addicted, and me and my gf havent done shit in a while. Theres some part of me that hopes that through an extended break i may be able to feel the same as i did back then, contemplative and light, instead of now, avoiding and piling up responsabilities while eating to death
I smoke everyday but during Monday through Friday I only smoke after work and I work full time 8 hours half ounce to almost an ounce every month the only bad side effect that I’ve noticed was remembering where I left things
lol im sure thats the only side effect
This story is actually so accurate it's scary
Edit: I actually cried I've been on and off weed for 3 years and my story goes so similar with this one as well as a lot of others. I don't know what's wrong with me but I don't want to stop.
You got this dude, we believe in you.
I smoked for over 7 years straight with probably less than 5 days total of sobriety in that period and I quit almost 250 days ago, you can do it, but you really have to put your mind to it and want to at first. I think focusing on the negatives of being high & the positives that would come from sobriety can help a lot. I feel a lot better being sober now & have saved so much money not buying weed every few days, and at this point I don’t even miss being high or have any desire to get high. With enough time I’m sure you can get there too 🙏
I had a nictone addiction, which is a lil different, but the key is to genuinely want to change. Ask yourself: do i want to be like them (people that dont smoke weed and never think about it) or do i want to be like them (stoners). Think of them (the stoners) as something you dont want to be. You need to make it not a part of your life any more, whether that be cutting friends or even unfollowing creators on social media. You need to distance yourself from it, trust the process, and it will no longer be a part of your life. Im not trying to be Mr know it all, thats just what worked for me and just passing on the info. Im appyling this to weed and it helps a lot. Stay strong brother
listen people, you have important things to do in your life.
I had the same problem with weed. what i will do is try to reduce you don't have to stop but reduce and look out of your eyes and live life like a man does.
first make sure you have completed all your tasks before lighting the joint.
if you can get that under control i will do something with youre time. for example, go to the gym and start seeking more contact with friends, family and find love.
weed is a special substance and it must remain special.
anyone reading this who has no control over their lives i want you to stop smoking alone during the week if you smoke weed make beautiful memory.
and make sure you set goals and be proud of yourself.
You are on point brother ♥️
I been smoking since 14 I’m 18 now. When I’m not high, it still feels like I’m high.
