Weed addict psychology: "Wanna get high when sober, wanna be sober when stoned".
Damn I thought I was crazy
Amen to that!
So true
Godamn! My thoughts Daily! 😂
100%
I have been trying to quit for 15 years, I’m on day 37 weed free. Thank you for making this video
Good luck
proud of you! keep going!
You are an addict for life. It will never leave you. But you can have long periods of a few years without it.
@@andrzejzelazniewicz8434 everyone is addicted oxygen anyway
If I don't need it you dont
I've been smoking weed every single day since I was 11 years old. I'm 20 now. I've been isolated from everybody in my life since I was about 16, don't have friends anymore, slowly losing all my familial bonds including my father, never had a gf, don't have a drivers license, can barely hold a job due to social anxiety. I'm a complete bum.
Today it stops. I'm throwing all my paraphernalia in the garbage. I'm calling out to God. And I'm gonna conquer this bullshit addiction. Thanks for this video bro, it made me even more motivated.
May the Lord heal you, brother. May he bless you with kind loving friends. God bless and free you.
Inshallah brother. Keep strong
Good luck bro stay strong and keep your head with you
Good luck homie, you got this
I mean. Sounds like there is a reason why you have a hard time quitting weed. Dosn't sound like the most fun, enjoyable and love filled life. But blaming it all on the weed is probably not gonna help you on your journey. There is always something behind an addiction. A reason. Something that causes the addiction to be present. Without dealing with that. Quitting is gonna be a lot harder.
It’s crazy how everything you explained is 200% relatable. & I mean EVERYTHING.
Why it's crazy? you are human. he is human. weed is weed.
consequences are the same.
how did you want to have the opposite effect by taking the same thing?
for real! sometimes i think im alone and crazy, but noticing this video has over 3 million views and the 18k comments, we feel less alone
EEEvvvvEEErrrYYYttttHHHiiiiiNNNGGGGG .... that's so true !!! This experience to get know, can take long. But times were funny & i've learnes much &
it's good for making art or fantastic things or to learn to yoi the feelings right. In our times many people have no idea, what to feel & think ...
That remembers me on 'Klaus Schwab' - a bounded thing - so they should listen to stoners ... a good also - it's a healthy plant !
Here are the key takeaways from the video:
1. After quitting smoking weed for 6 months, the person noticed significant improvements in their mental health, especially reduced anxiety and depression that was being amplified by daily weed use.
2. Their physical health improved, with better lung capacity, easier breathing, more endurance, and a healthier relationship with food without the munchies leading to overeating.
3. They became more extroverted and their social anxiety decreased after quitting, as being constantly high had made them more introverted and uncomfortable in social situations.
4. Saving around $300-400 per month that was previously spent on weed.
5. Increased productivity, focus, ambition and ability to stay organized without the mental fog caused by being perpetually high.
6. Better quality sleep and feeling more rested in the mornings after eliminating the "weed hangover" effect.
7. Improved relationships with spouse and children by being more present, patient and engaged instead of withdrawn due to being constantly stoned.
8. Realizing that despite believing weed helped them cope, they had developed an addiction that was negatively impacting multiple areas of their life.
Thank You person.
Thank you for summarizing it! :)

U r da man
Thanks man
I quit more than ten years ago, after smoking weed for more than forty years. I had tried a few times, even put my stuff in a safe deposit box, but I still went
back to get it...
What I have learned is that I like being clear headed. I read a lot now. I had lost the ability to concentrate on reading.
I continued a spiritual journey, and grew so much more quickly and deeply. I can see that I was using weed to escape from the chaos of
life. Life with young children, a mentally challenged husband, divorce... I was just trying to find a moment of peace in my day, all day. I smoked
all day, even before work.
I now have found the most profound peace. It was INSIDE ME THE WHOLE TIME. I have a peace I never thought to attain. I have no desire
to be high. I tried edibles a couple of times over the ten years. I liked it in the moment, it was like a vacation. But, I had a hangover for a couple of days
afterward. I was amazed to think that I had been in this constant state for forty years. I felt like Moses going through the desert. I came out on the
other side.
Good luck with your journey. Peace.
Funny i have no problem being a bioler/maker welder, mechanic, mechanical engineer ( 6 modules to go). network admin cert 3 CCNA , MSCE , and my hobby is theoretical physics.
DON`T BLAME GENETICS ON WEED.
i call bullhit
Well expressed. ✌
I had to smash all
my glass and throw EVERYTHING out. Glad I did too. I kept my dabbing cabinet and that simply holds all
My books now. 😂 right on dude, you’ll be fine. 👍
❤❤❤❤
I just broke my bong and threw my weed into the river and this video is the first one I came across omg thank you ‼️ every single thing you said l related with… wish me luck!
Good luck my guy 🙌
@@maxmitch296 thanks bro, almost 9 am and I know it’s going to be a long first day lol
This made me laugh ! Iol in the river you go and I would do the same methods :)
Good luck 👍🏾🍀
Why do people chuck it in the river or down the toilet etc, just give it away duh.
Out of all the videos out there, I related so much to this video. So helpful and truthful. Thank you for sharing
The most well articulated description of quitting weed I've ever heard. Bravo.
no! the only thing to say is just quit wtf is wrong with you guys
💯
@@BaboGHOST1711spoken like a true person that doesnt understand addiction.
Your alcoholic? Just stop drinking.
Your addicted to pain meds? Stop taking them.
If you dont see the problem then work on yourself. They can stop for a few days then what happens? They go back to there drug.
They talk about there experience so others can realize “oh shit, hes right i feel the same way”
Just quit. Dumbest shit ive ever heard. Truly ignorant
End result is everyone that quits weed feel more productive/relationships are better/they feel better physically and mentally.
Guess what? If you were to run you would be the first to get gassed out smoker vs non smoker.
I've quit before, and he hit on every point, especially in moderation. Im over the hump once again and i agree its not possible to smoke in moderation.
Yep he is nuts on!!
Quiting smiling weed was easy for me despite being a heavy smoker. The best part of not smoking weed is I can actually dream again! I love dreaming, and now I do. 😊
when i stop, i start to dream, but there nightmares. so i keep smoking
bro so it`s same for everybody, i quit and now i am seeing nightmares everynight.
@@Casanova0Tm i love nightmares :>. A creepy grandma with 10 demon childs was hunting me inside a ghosthouse. It was rly strange but nice
Yep, weed makes you not remember your dreams for sure, definitely
I smoke so I don't dream. My dreams would make most people never want to sleep again.
Your honesty is so appreciated!! So many people can relate to this. Thank you!
Yeah, this video was really eye opening for me. Day 1 today and I’ve actually been productive for once.
@@CactusBrannigan well done. So how much were you smoking a day?
Thank you for your honesty and open words. I myself have been stuck in this cycle of constant consumption for several years, and my depression got worse. Now I haven’t smoked for two months, and my depression and sleep are slowly getting better. I'm trying to take part in life again. I'm glad I came across this video today! Wishing you all the best in your life and for your family.
to everyone struggling out there - you’ve got this. in the moment it seems impossible but that’s what addiction wants us to believe. you are all incredibly strong for even thinking about quitting and, respectfully, fuck anyone who downplays how difficult it is to quit. one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time. it will get better. love you all
Thank you I needed this❤
Thank you. Also - 'friends' who deliberately try to get you back into smoking are not real friends and need to be cut out completely. They'll say 'you're so boring and serious all the time now' - but I know that NOW I'm no longer weak-minded, no longer a pushover. I won't allow people to pressure me into going along with all the self-destructive behaviour anymore. Those kind of people want you to stay weak so they can feel dominant. I have my confidence back & they know I can't be pressured or bullied anymore.
So marihuana is psychologally addictive whereas heroin is physically addictive. They are both addictive, I just drink to calm down when I need it.
Thank you for your message, really appreciate it.
@@ISirSmoke You'll understand once you grow up
I have never related to a video or person like this. Thank you so much for making the well spoken clear video. I’m 51 smoked for a solid 35 years and quit 5 months ago. I feel so much better. Thank you
Well done man!
It's crazy how well the human body can bounce back after smoking for so long. 5 months to feel good after smoking for 35 years is insane
Yep. Smoked daily for 25 years and quit 2 years ago at 41. My god how much better I feel. Energy, not tired or washed out, sleep cycle way more regular.i realized weed was also making me terribly depressed. Weed absolutely zaps drive, ambition and energy for the majority of users.
And have you ever once woke up all groggy .....from smoking cannabis?.... Scientifically it is impossible. The guy making the video maybe shouldn't have been drinking so much and maybe he'd feel a whole lot better when you wake up..... Like weed smokers do!
@@svenjorgenson3224 I want whatever you're smoking
@@svenjorgenson3224I smoke weed and nothing else and wake up angry 😂
I was high from 16 yrs old to 42. When I sobered up it was like I was experiencing a new high. Lol. It will be 14 yrs sober from weed on May 5th. I love being sober. Good job man.
congratulations
proud of you
hahaha damn that`s big numbers, good job keep it going
Not me I have nothing else to look forward to
Experiencing a new High… I like that!!! Thanks!
@@EconomyisFine-oe1se That's not the correct attitude to have.
your experience is too relatable thank you for sharing your story! 🙏🏻🐐
47 days sober after 28 years 24/7 smoker.....My dreams are back, working on my anger issues and not spending 400 a mounth is great. Thanks for the good content. Im committed. Cant wait to hit 6 mounthes, then a year, and then the rest if my life
Congrats 😊
you guys just over did it ........weed is the best !
I'm right there with u!! I'm like 3 weeks sober and I.m dreaming again!! Lol I'm still struggling with being tired during the day but I'm still so happy! Lol 400 a month is crazy tho denver has cheap weed lol
@@xianzhewang9889 400 a month was for wife and I, now it's just wife. I drive to Michigan vapes are 10 a gram......
Congratz
This was an excellent video and testimonial. I could relate to the majority of your experiences: chest pain, lethargy, not being in the moment, mood swings, the cost, consuming bad food (munchies). This is one of the best videos I've seen on the subject of quitting marijuana. Excellent content. Thanks for the support. You have a new subscriber
Dude I smoked just like you since I was 14. I'm 55 now and I quit 5months ago and every word you said is 100% a fact. Total functional smoker every day all day work or no. Nobody new unless I told them. One thing I love the most is being able to dream again and the good sleep. TOTALLY AWESOME!! You hit the nail on the head with everything you said. Good job I'm glad I'm not alone and I hope other people watching this will listen. I love not being an introvert anymore like you said I thought it was just me. NOT!!! THANKS FOR SHARING BROTHER IM GLAD THAT 40 years is behind me
You're totally right about the dreams. I would never dream when I went to sleep high.
Wow awesome!! I have a 14 year old grandson and love him dearly. And like many he has been tempted before. I try to share with him and tell him that for some it could lead to other things and I say that from experience from loosing my husband that struggled with heroin he seemed functional and happy but deep with in he was hurt and miserable. He tried many times and eventually he put all his hope in God and slowly stopped then He got diagnosed with ALS and past. It's sad to see many children going through this now . I pray that there would be some team warriors that are raised for the challenge to be able to speak in schools and let them know it is possible and there is hope. And it's always best for them to hear it from people with experience like many of you . Be a voice for everyone!!. Your story caught my eye cause he is 14. Thank you for sharing !
You realize MOST people don't smoke... so congrats... you're just like everyone else now. Go eat some meat and watch some TV Bob. You're so special. Besides... anyone who 'smokes' is gross... vaping is healthy and good for you!
Soo right on w the Dreams I do nor remember them at all. Everytime I quit I start remembering them
I notice that the odd time I go to sleep, or usually fall asleep, without smoking weed, I dream like crazy and I don’t often dream when smoking.
Last dream I had, I fell asleep at about 2am started dreaming I was in West London strolling along, a flying robot creature from horizon zero Dawn, flew by my head, I shot an arrow with rope, attached to bird and went flying through the sky.
What makes it even more funny, is the fact that in my dream, I was using my psvr2 and as I’m flying through the air in central London, I’m saying to myself “oh shit I’m not getting motion sickness from vr anymore” then I woke up and realised motion sickness is still there. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
This was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you, Dorian.
You hit the nail on the head. I smoked for over 3 years and whenever I stopped and went back it was always a case of 'I'll be moderate' or 'I can stop when I want' but I was lying to myself. Financially its a bottomless pit, you waste so much money. It'll never be enough, its always a race for the next hit. Been clean for 2 months now but I'm not really counting anymore. Never going back. Not worth it.
Be strong temptation will always be there but life getting up in the morning not relying on a substance is definitely worth it all the best
I've been smoking 🚬 over 50 years and it's time to quit smoking 🎉❤
may i ask does the nasty uneasy feeling last long ??
I know exactly what you mean. In similar boat. Prayers for strength & self control, which are remarkably difficult to have right now 🙏 for me anyway 😊 Be blessed
nice! proud of you.
I truly appreciate your honesty here man and congrats on making these positive changes in your life.
6 days sobber, was literally sitting out a dispensary because I was craving so bad. Started watching this video, just because it popped up on my feed. Half way into the video started feeling better, still craving so bad, but Managed to muster up the courage not to, and to turn around and leave.
To everyone else watching this, you can do it. One day at a time. You'll get there.
Thanks for the video. You are making a difference.
6 days is nothing bro, don't want to discourage you. But I have been smoking since 11 and stopped on 34, about 5 months ago. I don't believe people whom quit 5/6 days actually pushing through, because I stopped many times for less than a week and couldn't stop because of night terrors instantly returning in that week.
Don't listen to other dude. 6 days is longer than 0. You're making progress and that's what matters. If you take a daily habit and get it to weekly, then monthly, then never, you'll do fine.
The best option is to cold turkey and never return. I believe in you stranger.
@@Motthias day 9 now. It's not a competition , you gotta start somewhere. Suck a dick.
@@Motthias Have some compassion for your fellow man. When you're addicted to ANYTHING, that first week is crucial. You had to do it too. Never forget that.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
i've noticed all the same improvements as i've been sober from smoking weed a little over 6 months as well. great video, God bless and much love bro
I needed to hear this. I'm glad I'm not alone. Thank you for being transparent 🙏🏾
Nope ! Not alone lovely 🤗💗👏👏👏
Your honesty has made a positive impact on so many people, myself included. Thank you.
I’ve got the same story as you in regards to the weed use. Been a daily smoker since 20, 32 now. Working as a developer and fully remote, it’s only made the use more engrained into my daily routine. I am super functional as well - I do anything you can think of high, no one knows. And you’re so spot on about socializing. I am the worst at responding to texts or doing really anything social outside of work. The social anxiety is horrible the older I get. $300-$500 a month easily for me. I’ve been cutting back this year to the evenings and weekends, but eventually I know I have to completely quit. I know I have to.
But wow dude, your weed history is almost exactly as mine - down to the way it made you feel and act. I thought I was the only one who was gripped by this. Thanks for sharing.
So many of us highly functional stoners out there! Glad that sharing my experience helps others realize we're not alone!
same here i've been smoking and drinking for 20 years and plus i smoke to cigarettes and do cocaine but i quit them like 5 years ago. @@DorianDevelops
Truth man, you don't sound functional. You sound barely functional. If you can only keep together one critical aspect of your life, but seriously struggle with the others, you're functional limited. There's a lot of half-truths people use to lie to themselves. It's fairly common when surving childhood trauma. If it helps you, awesome. Ultimately, defense mechanisms like these fail in the long-term.
I've been smoking everyday for the past 6 years. I'm 32 right now and honestly I don't know how I ended up here! The same story happened for me. I am functioning but there is nothing about my life that I like. I don't follow any goals I have no passion or ambition to do anything. 6 years ago I wasn't like this. Smoking everyday caused me to forget everything I liked and wanted to do. It made me a useless human. Not to mention that I don't have a job for the past 3 years. Sometimes I feel like this is my life and I'm going to live like this for the rest of my life.
I don't know how you guys managed to learn programming at the same time. I'm trying to do the same but can't create a discipline in order to learn.
everybody will be so skint soon we will have no choice but to be sober lol @@DorianDevelops
Thanks you for doing this video, I'm on Day 3 and I feel miserable, scared, but what you did helped me realize things that I thought I was the only one going through. I totally identify to every point that you made. Congratulations on your sobriety and God's speed. Again thanks 😢 👍👍👍
I’m never smoking weed again I have no energy or motivation when smoking and I’m only 20 glad I finally heard someone say it thanks a lot for this video genuinely could have just changed the way my life was about to go
The thing all of you are missing out is that you smoke too strong weed. It's the percentage of THC which plays crucial role. You cannot smoke weed above 20% THC and function normal. There is a line!!
lol I smoke and hit the gym like crazy (after smoking) but you are 100% correct
Different strains for different strokes...gotta find what fits. Some just smoke whatever 😂
called sativa bro
Hey little kid, stick to heroin, cocaine and alcohol. 🤣 Stay away from weed. Its too dangerous 😂
Mannn i ate some shrooms last year and never smoked WEED again. I’ve been more motivated, threw out a lot of harder substances, changed my life for good. In the most positive way possible.
Since I tired psychedelics for the first time, I’ve been trying to describe the experience to others so there can try it as well, but i couldn’t find the right words to describe it.
Did you do it alone? Like do you really need to have a tripsitter?
dr.elvisperry is your guy. My first time doing psychedelics was a great experience. Therapeutic guidelines
Yup it’s not advised to do alone. Everyone reacts differently and not always positive.
How does a middle class source this? He's on TikTok??

Same.

Me too😞
This is incredibly relatable. Fantastic video! Well done.
I agree, it's not the weed that brings me down, it's the decisions i make while high. Bad diet, sit around instead of exercising, among other things.
Ahhh now this is making sense. I am so furious at the young men/women in my building as they get no exercise, don't socialize, eat crap via uber-eats all day, order amazon instead of shopping just one block away where we have 200 stores...I smoke all day but I'm never inside more than an hour or two. I live downtown and walk/bike everywhere, very active, friends and women even at 53. Its not the weed guys..its your shitty lifestyles lol.. get outside and say hello to the real world. When i coded remote..3 hours in..1 hour out...must see people/must get exercise..return.
Lol that's a "You" problem I have made conscious decision to eat healthy Anf exercise everyday and enjoy cannabis its called discipline try it
Maybe...but i know i do better now that i switch to sativa @silvertone1

I can relate everything he says
Thanks so much for sharing
Damn you have such a relatable take on everything. No fear mongering, no scare tactics. Just a dude trying to get better in life. Great video. Great content. Great channel. I appreciate you 🙏🏻
The way you’re describing how you lived your life as a weed smoker, I feel like I’m listening to myself talk. On a mission to quit and this time I will :)
same bro. its crazy how we can all relate to those things together. I wonder how you are doing now? i have tried quitting mulitple times and failed but i really want to quit this time
How are you doing right now?

You can do it. Nothing is impossible. You will feel soooo good after quitting. Trust me.

"Everything in moderation, including moderation." - anonymous
this is an Oscar Wilde quote :)
This is the way.
I mean, true. But he was pretty clear right at the start that moderation did NOT work with him. This is true for a lot of weed users and addicts generally.
Is heroin good in moderation? What about r@pe?
@@GoldenEraBox1ng bro what? heroin probably yes if not laced. but how did u go to rape? ARE U STONED RN?
I have no idea why I came across this video today, but I had already made the decision to quit earlier. After 10 years, I’m just done with it. Every single aspect of your video resonates deeply with me-every single one. Hearing this from another perspective gives me so much motivation. Thank you!
Checking in on you Dustin how we doing??
thank you for this video and for being vulnerable! That's hard to do publically, a lot of us need this, it's time to wake up
I just want to say I’m proud of you man. I came across your video and it really hit me hard. I can relate to literally everything you talked about. I’ve been sober for 60 days now after smoking 24/7 for the last decade+. Smoking first thing when I woke up, multiple times throughout the day, and ending the day high. Waking up in the middle of the night to get stoned to fall back asleep. I realized how truly addicted I was once I broke the habit.. I have a long way to go - but I’m in such a better place now, and I don’t ever want to go back to where I was. Sharing this was incredibly brave - you are not alone. Thank you for putting this video out.
I believe weed is a form of medicine. But excesses of medicine of any kind will turn it into poison. So moderation is the key to everything guys
It's the moderation bit that I, and so many brothers and sisters struggle with.
Right. This video wouldn’t have happened if moderation was possible. For many of us, moderation is how we start, but we always end up using more and more.
@@harryarteza3435I’m on day 2 I been crying since Sunday when I quit. I hope I can do this I started feeling like I was becoming addicted
@@impastar5599yep
@@impastar5599 understood. I may seem to see that problem in me. Just sharing my personal experience, I adopt Stoicsm and change my mindset (1st). So during the day, i try to do any thing to be 1 bit better than the day before. And then weed at the end of the day to sooth things out. Repeat!
I’m on day 7 of no weed. I’ve smoked for the last 15 years. Every day is a struggle but we are making it thru

@@finnaustin3875 yeah appetite goes down. For me I was carrying quite a bit of extra weight so it actually is helping me lose weight. Just make sure you’re eating when your body does get hungry and you’ll be alright. Listen to your body’s natural queues.
I love cannabis, its what sparked my interest in growing plants 14 years ago at the age of 16. It blew my mind how a plant so easy to grow could create such a powerful effect. Fast forward to now, i own 10 acres and a small off grid homestead that i built from scratch all paid in cash from 10+ years of hard work. Ive been smoking almost daily through it all and will never stop (maybe in old age ill switch to edibles only). Cannabis has been a great inspiration in my life, its also helped me stay away from opiates (injury) and other drugs (freinds). Hell its helped my dad recover from alcholism (divorce, family conflict, depression) and he now uses cannabis, which doesnt get him extremely argumentative/angry or blackout from.
I love what cannabis has done for my life and its never stopped me from working hard or learning new skills. To each his own.
Love it.... best thing ever.

If you have been able to accomplish such an impressive amount with weed, it would be absolutely incredible what you would have accomplished without it.
I used to think the same way, have always been very ambitous, it never slowed me down i thought, in fact it probably even helps me to achieve so much.
Then without it, you realize just how untrue that always was, how much that was really just an excuse to do what you wanted to. Really, that it was always holding you back.
Is it better than an alcohol addiction, yeah probably in most ways. But there is no way you would not be better off without it. Its a tough choice, but wont be regretted.
wish I could come work for you. I've been searching for something like this... Been trying to manifest growing for profit into my life. Or just actually working on a far growing food and DANK! haha
Yep, I've been off and on BUT I'm an addict for sure. Never went slow on booze either but quit that completely and never tried to have ONE. My doctor wouldn't give me oxy. because of my booze addiction and I never liked coke or I would be dead. Retired makes it easier to smoke too much but I've taken up baking. 🤔🌍✌️
Thanks man, this helped me confirm what Ive been thinking about for months. I am also a 24/7 smoker and consider myself functional, but this has open my eyes. Thanks
You got this brother. One day at the time. I'm right with you.
Keep going bro. I'm in the same boat. One day at the time.
smoke everyday!!!!!!
Gives me hope..
Smoke a blunt and take a dab and ask your self that question
I’ve only listening to the first ten minutes so far and everything you’ve explained is everything I’m experiencing. The being more introverted part is what really made me emotional and I’m quitting today. Thank you.
I had the same realization yesterday and quit immediately.
For you this was three weeks ago, you still going strong?
Thank you for your personal story. Truly appreciate the authenticity.
Starting my sobriety journey and this came across my feed. Thanks for sharing and wishing you strength in your struggles 🙌🏾
This guy is a bullshit...He is unstabile and weak person and than blame weed...If is not weed, It would be something else...sugar, salt, coffee, doesn't matter...this guy just TALK SHIT!!!!!
keep going brother never go back there i was smoking 20 years im 1,5 yers sober and never going back to that poison again! ask help from jesus to stay in the clear path nobody else can help you except JESUS!
You got this
Try coming off opiates after 15 years weed is nothing
Same
It's bonkers how much I relate to everything you've said pre quitting. I'm struggling to quit now and have found a lot of value in this video. Thanks for reinforcing what I know I need to do.
He's 100% right. I quit weed after smoking everyday for 8 years. It was a bit tough, but it's worth it. Don't give up champ!
I’m with you right there right now brother.
I quit for 2 months now , feels so much better , keep up the good fight
Same 3 days off cigs and weed rn, stay strong peeps
Second this
I was just checking out your video and I had no intentions on quitting. But now it's like ah man you speak the true trues. I could do nothing and let life past me by, or I can come to the realization that I don't need it anymore, and infact my life wound be better off without it . Change is hard sometimes but you're better off.
Just started quitting myself after spending 30 yrs smoking myself into a stupor . Just finally got fed up after doing the math on my 200 a week habit . This guys video just really made my choice hit home . You can do it brother ! This guys points are so valid it hurts alittle
Dude it sucks since it's not "ruining" my life. I've progressed an immense amount personally while maintaining a $500-$1000 a month weed habit. Right now I'm in the best physical shape in 15 years, lost 100+ pounds, got myself back into the workforce successfully. I quit all the stuff destroying my life and I don't want to let this go. But like you said, I know deep down it's time for it to go. I don't have much control over it and it's time to take that control back.
@@PleaseNo-p7n Good job, you won't miss it. I smoked from age 8 until my 30s. I have no interest in drinking or smoking at all.
just look at those videos showing the clear lungs and what it does to them in a short time, same nasty black tar as cigs
@@PleaseNo-p7n Why does it need to go? And how do you do anything *but* smoke if you're spending that kind of money each month? Or? Are you buying the high dollar synthetic man-made hybrid crap? A lot of growers are growing hemp and spraying it with synthetic thc. Would you know the difference? Just curious. I'm researching plants and reading comments like these is helpful.
I love this video. I've watched it a few times. It's the ultimate video to help me realize sobriety is best when I get urges to want to just smoke 1 joint. I have dispensaries on every corner. It's tempting for me. This video is my power. Thank you sir. I relate to absolutely everything you say. This video should be shown in every single weed rehab center. Thankfully for me, I did it on my own. Knowing I didn't need rehab and I had the power to do it on my own gives me even more power. Thank you more than you know sir.
46 years old, 30 years smoking, 16 months sober 💪🏻
Congratulations 🎉 I smoked from 16 to 40 daily. Glad I stopped when I did.
14-48 and still going.... I gotta stop for my lungs sake dammit! Good on you guys, proud of ya both

Your a champion 🏆 keep it up king
@@roobysohowhats happening to your lungs?
Your video somehow randomly appeared on my feed and I figured I’d give it a go as I’m currently about 2 weeks into a “break”.
Though my situation wasn’t as intense as yours, I’ve been a regular weed smoker for the last 20 years or so, with the past 3/4 years being virtually every day, and like you I moved onto vaping because I don’t like tobacco and started feeling pain in my lungs when I smoked joints.
It’s unreal how much I can related to everything you’ve said, and funnily enough this morning I’d been considering dipping back in and taking it easy. But this has convinced me that I, like you, cannot be a recreational user. I’m convinced that I need to get to 4-6 months to see any true benefit. Thank you for this candid take and for being vulnerable enough to share this.
good work keep it up. im same as you.
Watched video from start to finish. You hit a lot of points that really resonate with me. I feel inspired to take action. Thank you!
Thank you man, in halfway in to the video and all the things you said so far are the most relatable and true of all the videos about this topic.
I really appreciate you making this video. I've been really struggling mentally with this back and forth question in my mind. Your testimony has very much persuaded me, and there is a different internal feeling that I have about quitting now. Again, thank you for making this video and being so thorough about everything.
we got this!
Let’s go bro!
This video randomly showed up on my recommendations and I needed to hear this out loud. Thank you.
The algorithm doesn't lie lol
Nah, just smoke after you do something productive. Program yourself to earn it.
Same here

@@ABadGamble But the algorithm also tell me Im a terrible person.
everything you’re describing I’ve experienced with alcohol, it’s interesting how universal the experience of addiction/sobriety can be
That's why this is a lie I've been without weed and I'm just fine and you can't be or feel addicted to marijuana because your body is never without it your body produces a little bit of THC itself that's why you don't have hard withdrawals like you would if you stop doing cocaine
True, same with alcohol.
Congratulations btw!
Because the substance isn't always the problem.
Substance is rarely actually the problem. People use it as a solution, which ironically creates more problems.
@@kevinligusi3525 that's what people don't understand.
I'm so glad my cousin referred me to this video, she said everything you said reminds her of me and she is correct. Not a single thing you said I couldn't relate to. thank you for this video. I'm a week sober and today I felt an urge but I'll watch more videos like this to keep me motivated❤
Man... I have seen other videos (not a lot, but less than a handful) of other people talking about their own personal experiences, and although theirs' were interesting, for some odd reason, your video spoke to me like a friend or family member talking to me. Everything you explained, every example, EVERYTHING is EXACTLY what I have been through and currently going through. I stopped for a couple of months, but picked back on it around November of last year.
I'm turning 33 next month, and I'm starting to get those thoughts of my inner voice telling me to stop. The problem I have is that simply put, weed enhances EVERYTHING in my life. From my normal day routine, food, music, and something simple as cruising, is what is crushing me. Considering where I am in life, I have NO business smoking, but I do it because I have an addiction. I recently purchased a cart, and after coming across this video, I feel as though me (and others here) stumbling across this video wasn't a coincidence, but a reminder (kinda like a checkpoint in your life to reflect on what you have been doing or accomplished) that whatever your gut feeling is telling you, to go with it.
This is really going to suck, because this time, especially after watching this video... something is telling me to stop... for good. I'd be lying to you if I tell you that I'm not going to miss it, because I will. Maybe my mind will change once it isn't clouded anymore, but I just can't think of anything else (other than weed) to do to enhance my day, or make it interesting. Weed is honestly everything to me because it makes me feel good, but I guess there comes that one point in your life where you just have to let it go. All those memories, all those times I would say that I would NEVER stop smoking weed because I love it so much will soon come to an end. This is scary, I'm not going to lie.
Great video I just reached my first month sober. One of the main reasons I stopped was not being able to be social anymore and my ability to communicate with people. It made me super introverted. I appreciate you 🙏
how many times feeling good at a party and thinking '' be sociable --- a couple of tokes will surely just make everything even better''.. Big mistake almost every single time as the paranoia inevitably kicked in to ruin the entire night as I'm sitting there hallucinating all kinds of shit. V glad to have finally left it completely. There aren't those extra dimensions of magic to life without it but the price for that was too high.
Yes he is spot on so right. I'm 45 days off it smoking the strongest bud out there been smoking from age of 15 I'm 50 this year. Iv stopped it for same reason as you, I was mumbling couldn't even be bothered to talk to anyone didn't want to go out couldn't go shopping for food unless I had a few pints of beer or spirits. It's harder for me as my friends all do it and most of them sell a hell of a lot of it so I can't even go to their houses by best friends. You can do it respect to you from South Wales UK
@@greeney76 Congrats man I was going strong from 15-35. I can completely relate any interaction with a stranger is very uncomfortable my chest would get tight and I can barely get the words out. I know I’m not naturally like that so I had to make some changes. We’re all in this together Stay strong and we will be restored back to normalcy 💪
@@JirehForever All the best to you bro, its gets easier and life gets better. I done it 5 years ago for 5 months and this time forever save a lot of cash too which is needed for my car which I have let rot for 19 years 🙂
I appreciate your hard work and point of view. I don't smoke weed, yet I want to make a point about not being able to be social. Most of my problems in life has been from socializing. I am autistic, and for the majority of my life have suffered via depression and extreme anxiety / panic attacks from interacting socially with others that are neurotypical. The moment I accepted that I hated socializing with annoying, lying, egotistical, ignorant and unintelligent neurotypicals, that was the moment when I became happy, because I realized that I didn't need to be a part of that backwards evolutionary society. Not that I'm better than them, but that I am so physically and mentally different that they marginalize me, and that's perfectly fine, because I cannot comprehend them and am happy to be marginalized.
When I'm high on cannabis, my thoughts often drift back to various memories and past events in my life. Sometimes, when I'm high, I tend to reflect on what I've done each day and think about what mistakes I might have made, which leads to self-imposed pressure and constant anxiety. When I'm not high on cannabis, I don't feel hungry at all, and sometimes I feel nauseous when eating. I'm trying to quit now.
Just confess your sins to God the Father and then forgive yourself
Same
Same, sometimes getting high feels like a shroom trip the way I start thinking about my life so critically and deeply
@@KVN_9 me too, but i like so much that i feel like im undestanding myself more than never

Thank you for sharing this, your honesty and vulnerability has been so helpful tonight. This moved me to tears a few times! You are not alone.
I am 44 years old been smoking for a little over 25 years and taking a new job out of California across state to Georgia. I had to quit smoking because I was told they were going to drug test me before I started. It’s definitely been a struggle but after your weed smoking, quitting testimony, definitely Inspired me and gave me hope. I also am very active for many many years in marathons, the gym, BJJ and was a completely functioning stoner. Everything you said about stress relieving, anxiety, unhealthy binging made sense, and I endured as well. Stumbled across this video but I am so happy I did. Thank you for what I call your weed smoking quitting testimony. May God continue to bless you.
Great video bro, I smoked for decades since I was 16 I’m now 52, I’ve been weed free for 3 months, my anxiety and depression is minimal, my sleeping is so much better, I don’t have severe mood swings and being a creative my ability to produce the art I envision in my imagination has dramatically improved. I don’t even crave it anymore even when I smell someone having some, I do smoke tobacco but not heavily and rarely drink and my motivation is so much better and feel so good in the mornings without that half stoned hangover. My sugar intake has massively reduced not getting the munchies.
Cold turkey?
You quit weed but smoke tobacco and drink some? Seems like a wash or worse. Cigs and alcohol have absolutely no medicinal value.
@@misterb1132 I didn’t smoke weed for medical reasons
@@josephsmith9663 yep
Congratulations on staying with it. I’m around your age, smoked weed since I was 13 years old (but stopped when I was pregnant and until my child was around four years old) but that was a long time ago. I quit smoking and edibles mid-January of this year and I am enjoying having more energy (probably from sleeping better). I told myself that if I want to eat an edible to watch a movie like once a week, then I can. In two months, I’ve only gotten high once to go see Dune 2. For me, this feels like the right decision at this time in life.
The delivery of this information was so smoothie, like I’m listening to a friend on FaceTime
Thank you for the transparency. This video was very helpful for someone that has struggled with smoking weed for 15 years. Longest I have gone without stopping was 3 weeks. I am looking forward to the brighter side of things when I can pull it together and fully quit. This video came across my algo for a reason!! GOD BLESS!
DAY 1! I watched this last night and it motivated me so much to just STOP. It benefits me in a few ways but it is hindering and suppressing my higher self 100%.
You are strong…. And we got this! ❤
How you holding up?
I’m almost 3 months in on quitting… my anxiety was getting so bad after each vape I thought I was going to die. Your realizations are the exact same ones I came to understand. My endurance is better than ever, the paranoia is gone and life feels real for the first time!
I was chronic from age 15 until mid-30s when the anxiety would hit really f'n hard. That was about the time when Sativa basically disappeared and hydro Indica was everywhere. The paranoia was aweful. So, I'd start pounding down pints, wine, vodka, etc. which lead to a generalized anxiety the next day. It's a bitch.
3 months is awesome. It's enough time for your brain chemistry to settle down (cravings, etc.). Addiction is a slippery fkr. Just take time and think about how you feel now as compared to then to cement that mindset in place. I smell skunk everytime I'm driving in Chicago and now it gives me the heebeejeebees.
@@stringlarson1247 I appreciate you
I don't smoke anymore, it's been about 4 years now, but I do gummies. I used to at times feel the paranoia when I smoked. I smoked for many years. The gummies help with my anxiety, definitely. There is a different high between the smoking and the gummies. I also do gummies with the CBD for some low back pain when I have it.
Anxiety while smoking is never due to smoking, its due to your nutrition, you have too much copper, manganese, and/or iron in your system, when you smoke in this situation it causes PH change, and an instant shot of estrogen, also lowering thiamin, magnesium, zinc, vitamin c etc that helps detox those minerals that are excessive, smoking doesnt cause anxiety alone, it just amplifies whatever nutritional, or emotional state you are in, even chest pain while smoking is usually a sign of too much iron, blood sugar etc... Most smokers eat junk food still I suppose, which depletes your vitamins and most minerals, you should eat healthy whether you smoke or not, copper, manganese, iron, and sulfutes, are also excitatory to your nuero transmitters so these things make you want to smoke more and also eat junk food more, because they make neurotransmitters which keep you excited and addicted, where as potassium, magnesium, are needed to calm your nuero transmitters, if you smoke you need to increase vitamin c(not ascorbic acid), magnesium, potassium, zinc, lower your blood sugar, eat more protein, and try N Acetyl Cystine, glycine, and glutamine so your liver can make more glutathione which is a powerful anti oxidant the body uses to fix oxidative damage from smoking and other things, proper nutrition once again makes quitting easy, addictions are driven by excess copper and iron, and most people smoker or not have too much copper and iron in their system.
I feel this my anxiety went up and my stomach pains increased I’m done with weed thank god 🙏🏽👌🏽

Quit. You can always go back if you really miss being f*cked up.
After 23 years of smoking, I quit for 6 months. It was incredible, I also thought that I wouldn’t start again, but then war came to my country. The wife and children were forced to leave for another country to avoid danger. In the first two months, my mental state deteriorated so much. Someone randomly gave me a joint a few months later and how incredibly I felt better, my sleep returned, my anxiety decreased significantly, I was able to return to work. Today the situation is much calmer and I want to try to quit smoking again. I am incredibly happy that the algorithms led me to this video, because every word said in it 100% hits me and gives me the strength to believe that I can do it again!
Thank you very much for sharing your experience! Good luck to you!
Good luck to you my man. I’m sorry to hear what you’ve grown through. I’m a stranger, but I’m proud of you for kicking it once. You have proved to yourself you can gather the strength to do it, you just have to find it again. Stays safe, and good luck!

Hey great video!! You guys man- I was a 24/7 heavy weed smoker since age 14, I'm 41 now and I quit weed 100% haven't touched it since I was.. 35 so almost 6 years ago now! You'll notice huge changes in the first months, mental clarity, memory, eating and sleeping habits.. not feeling like you're in a constant stupor, your ability to make choices, understand others & convey yourself better.. yeah all that 👍 life gets better man! It really does! My best advice personally is not to replace it w/ anything else 😢 dont try to compensate w/ anything else like caffeine/energy stuff, alcohol etc..
Social interactions release endorphins so it's clear to see what you got addicted to. Woops.
Thank you so much for making this video. Im going through my sober journey right now and really needed this extra bit of inspiration and insight.
I smoked cigarettes for 50 years. Smoked weed for 40 years. I got breast cancer 9 years ago and quit cigarettes immediately. I Smoked weed sometimes and decided to quit. It's been almost 8 months weed free. I breath easier now and will never go back. Praise God!
Omg praise God and how is your fight with Cancer going are you feeling ok? I pray for a speedy recovery and you are healed in his name!

@@StenGunMK1 This is simply how I cut down: Originally cut weed down to only at night, after this routine of never smoking other times of the day. Then I stopped at night and had to deal with the tough time of sleeping. The only way I got myself to fully go without it was working 10hr days, working out for 30mins, and lastly cooking dinner... Had no more time in the day as I prioritized sleep.

@@EverMade007 well think about drinking 50 tea per day does it make sens to you? It's the same with weed if you start smoking for all and no reason then you have an issue it's just as simple as that. Does smoking 5 cigars a day make sens? Same for joints, do you need every single day? 10? 5? 1? No you don't. Weed is luxury, for any right mind it does not make sens to be seeking luxury all the time, life is raw and to be lived as such.

Great video everything you said is 100% true
I’ve been a full time weed smoker over 25 years and now being legal in many places makes it’s harder to quit.
But then you come to a point in life where you just need to leave the leaves along.
Great video
Thanks for sharing.
Every single thing you described was spot on. Even the part where you said you realized you wanted to quit while you were high. Especially that to be honest. I think people describe that as feeling anxious as soon as they get high or just feeling miserable. Ive heard countless people saying it no longer was fun and only made them anxious. I continued beyond this point for a while and eventually, even though I realized the reason for the anxiety deep down, I didn't listen and that is when the anxiety became a part of my personality rather than something that was being caused by weed. Listen to your gut people haha
@baiseduezcke2295 Yep, the cheapest kind too so im sure there was some other stuff in there too. I thought I enjoyed the isolation. I got so immersed in trying to be the "best in the game" or whatever, and i kept going until the point where I literally couldn't even focus on what was right in front of me even if i tried. I would sit and play the game while my whole body was shaking in my chair for hours from anxiety its pretty fucked lol extracts are the worst :P im also still coming back to reality
Ahh..now I get it.. i got that from using meth...i couldn't get high anymore for some reason. Same with all adhd meds so i quit them all a few years ago. Weed still works for me but at least now I understand why someone would want to quit.
@baiseduezcke2295 I thought i replied to your comment earlier but it seems like it didn't send? Yeah I used extracts and I felt the same. I pretended to enjoy the isolation and coped with video games. I got to the point where I couldn't focus on a single thing anymore, not even what I wanted to focus on, and my whole body would be shaking with anxiety. Somehow I still believed it was enjoyment. People are much more ready to convince themselves of pleasure than pain i guess
@baiseduezcke2295 My comment keeps getting removed or deleted somehow when i reply to you not sure why
I've had similar insights. I really enjoyed how articulate and honest you are, these are the only kinds of conversations that are worth having in my opinion. Thanks for the video
Thanks for sharing man. Helps a lot hearing that while trying to get sober. Keep up the good work
Keep on keeping on. Haven’t smoked in 9 months. This was spot on. Feel and felt the same way.
Smoked weed almlst daily for an entire year or a bit longer. I stopped cold turkey. I started because I wanted to better understand it, and during the time i smoked, I was basically analysing myself while under the influence. The thing I do like about it is the enhanced focus and calm it brings. However, I had much deep clarity before working out daily, eating right, and maintaining self-confidence. Thankfully, for me, anything I'm "addicted" to, I can let go of indefinitely and not look back.
May your journey and anyone reading this be smooth, and may temptation never overwhelm you.
You know I've heard it said that "misery loves company" but I don't think it's always the case I'm glad your experience was not bad even if mine is
I start my first weed free day on the 3rd of April because I'm going to Turkey for 5 days that will be my head start wish me luck because honestly it's torture for something like me.
If you say you can walk away from anything you’re addicted to then you were not really addicted to it to begin with. When you are addicted truly you CAN NOT just walk away from it!!!
@@Ktpgchannel lots of things that have addictive properties do not always cause addiction in people who do not have a propensity towards addiction.

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen and it’s helping me already getting off my weed addiction that I’ve been struggling with for so long. Weed made me lose friends and made me a less happy person and I know quitting is gonna be the best decision I’ve ever made. The way you put the description of weed addiction is so perfectly accurate to what I’m feeling and you telling me about the benifits of quitting makes me so motivated to follow through with quitting
Its a great feeling when you can get rid of something thats affecting you so deeply. For me its the opposite. When I dont smoke I get in trouble for opening my mouth when I shouldnt and being overly aggressive and argumentative as well as panic attacks. Being able to have control over my emotions in such an easy way gives me a great amount of confidence that doesnt get me in trouble and puts me at ease. My ex cant smoke because she will do heroin if she smokes weed... My buddy has schizophrenia and has issues with smoking too much, which is one of the most common negative side effects of cannabis: it can unearth predispositions to mental issues like that. The data tells us that these things can be unearthed in many ways, even emotional trauma from a breakup... but is not CAUSED by cannabis..
We evolved for a few thousand years at least with this plant in many parts of the world... some moreso than others.. it makes sense not everyone is compatible with it the same way

I've been coming to A lot of these realizations myself after 11 years of smoking. Great video, I needed to hear this. It sounded like exactly what I've been going through.
Congratulations for your video. I was smoking weed 24/7 for the past 15 years. Im off the weed for 8 months now. This is the third time that i quit smoking weed and the first time i did it for me. I sometimes catch myself thinking about the times i was smoking weed but at least for now, i do not want or need to smoke weed again. The first month was really difficult for me as my friends are regular marijuana users so the distance i kept from them made it really difficult. Now, i see my friends roll a joint or smell their joint and i honestly feel nothing. My dreams are back, my memory is back, my results at work are awesome! I totally live the moment now. I was with my family, i was with my girlfriend, i was with my friends and after one hour with them my mind was getting back to weed.The only drawback is that i replaced ny addiction to weed with an addiction to food.
I totally suggest to anyone who even thinking about quitting to do it, this is your subconscious telling you to do so!
In conclusion, quitting weed was one of my best choices i have done the past year and i strongly belive/wish not to return to this bad habit for me.
Once again, very nice video!!
I quit smoking in October 2023. I was 26 at the time and started when I was 13. I gave it up to become a firefighter/emt. And while I still love the feeling of being stoned, I wanted a higher purpose for my life. I smoked for 50% of my life and all the while I had goals to do better, I always wanted to get that next bag or vape. I didn’t self medicate. I did it for the recreation of being high and enjoying the high. And if I could go back and not start smoking weed I would. It allowed me, it enabled me to be complacent. My only goal at the time was to provide for my family or future family better than I was provided for. I am now 6months off of smoking weed, I did hit one of my friends vapes back in January but I knew that was all it would be, one hit. And I had no trouble with it. Other than the next day I wanted more, but didn’t act on it. I rambled in this message I know. But all in all me stopping smoking was for a better life.
Salute 🫡
Congratulations man! ♡♡♡

I've never smoked, but I think your willingness to discuss this is really interesting and important. We often hear about how safe weed is, but everyone is different, and to quit any addiction and then share it provides a really valuable perspective.
Ppl with addictive disorders can really make something chill and relaxed scary.
it´s pretty safe considering how much people overdo it for years and still can rehab to a normal person like that. the addiction itself is the real danger for some people

Everything you said resonated with me SO much. It’s insane how spot on you are describing everything, and it’s exactly how I feel. Word for word, can’t emphasize it enough. I’m currently struggling BAD to quit. I know that I will feel better after stopping, but I’ve convinced myself that I need it to get through everyday. I just want to say thank you for making this video. It is motivating me to really take steps to quitting. More people need to be open and honest about how negative it can impact your life in every aspect.
I’m 21, I’m an animator. Been smoking since 13, and currently I’m stuck between “Okay, you know exactly what you have to do to resurface from this deep hole you fell in & I’ll do it when I feel like it.” Truly difficult to battle with your own mind but with extreme determination, constant hard work, and the willingness to accept whatever you feel during withdrawal time, You can easily quit. Ignore your feelings, understand you have a higher purpose, and stop identifying with that activity. Don’t say “I use to smoke, I’m a smoker, I like weed”.. you have to convince yourself to hate it. I hope you have a smooth journey, and I hope you earn spectacular quality of life during so.

If there's one thing i've really noticed with reverse effects after not smoking it's THE DREAMS!!!!!!!!!!! I remember them so vividly, even hours after waking up. I have many many more throughout the night. Even if I wake up early (6am) and go back to sleep until 8am...I still can manage to cram 2 or 3 more dreams in before I'm up for the day! ANd the dreams are so much more in depth now! like full on story plots lol!
I have never smoked in my life and still dont remember my dream lol
I get the same thing when sober
Pretty sure that's the only reason I still smoke, I always get fucked up night terrors when I stop for a week or more
Ya I don’t like it tbh. They get a little too intense a lot of the time
Wow dude my dreams are crazy now i have stopped smoking weed the people in my dreams seem real but they are just mixed up peeps joined into one dude and if something in the dream gets on my tits i can just flap my arms and that's me floating above all the stupid shit i am trying to get away from but it is always a mission flying over towns and city's and shit so real tho, good luck dude
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Is really nice to hear this.
Since pandemic I was smoking on daily baisis and this year I took the decision to quit. Completely identify with everything that you said. IT WILL KILL YOUR DREAMS, that's totally true. I'm a heavy slepper and very sensitive with my dreams, I just love to dream. All these has return now that I'm sober. I feel more connected with my dreams, spirit, mind and body more than ever. LET'S KEEP ON SOBER 🎉
One of those testimonies that will change many lives, including mine. I've already stopped two years ago and i can relate everything you said. I got back on weed one year ago… your video was just what i needed : an important reminder. Let's try again.
I've never thought i'd hear something so relatable.I couldn't have worded this better myself but you somehow managed to put all my thoughts into a video.This came at a perfect time because I've been on my "just one more batch" for years now, and the part where you said that even when you are extemely high and still think about how you are not living the way you want and how it is impacting you , just WOW i've never thought other people are going through that the same way as me.The brakes i am taking are getting more and more frequent and i think that i will make it this time.Gonna post an update in a month.Hopefully it works this time!
How we holding up boss man?
