That line.. “without smoking, I’ve been forced to find all my joy and fulfillment through the journey of becoming a better man”. Bless you my brother! Huge inspiration. 13:58
100%, it literally helped, and I was like “damn you hit ME with that”, but now that I see tons of people talking bout it, it feels even more powerful, knowing that the fact that we all see this so poetic may mean that is it an absolute truth and rule of life.
“Idle time is the devils playground” love that, never heard that quote. Staying busy is the best way to avoid anything bad, even things as simple as melancholy. Great vid man.
I have gnarly dreams right now smoking high potency cannabis all day for years. A few dreams a night too. If they are more real and vivid than now, I dont know what to expect
@ninjanik2095 bro they are next level once you quit smoking. I was only dabbing rosin before I quit so I had really high tolerance so when I quit the dreams hit like a ton of bricks
@@wellackchyually lol i agree when i quit the dreams were literally insane and so real i had no choice but to write them all down its crazy how immersive it is in that realm it makes you look at life differently
I literally quit smoking yesterday and now this video is getting recommended to me. Helps me alot to know that im not alone on this path. I gotta say alot of things that you experienced just happened the same way to me. thank you for being so open about it 🙏
Dude I swear I stopped smoking like 5 days ago and saw this same vid imma just chuck it up and say I’mma go thru the same motions for the next 360 days
Same thing happened to me! I'm on day three now, and just on UA-cam on Xbox and this video pops up in the recommended. I hope you find success in your battle, and all the best!
Yo to all of you who says you just quit, I quit 2 months ago, trust me it’s shit in the beginning but super worth it. If you survive the first week it’s relatively easy to go on from there, phisically talking you are basically clean, but the habit or the craving might stick around longer so just stay strong!! You all got this!!!
As someone who just quit smoking after 18 years straight, I'm already starting to see how much it's allowed me to remain complacent and stagnant in life. Kudos to you man.
Complete opposite for me. Didn't really smoke, nor did I like it much until I was 24(29 now) and when I started smoking, my life improved dramatically as, without it I'm a very angry/rage filled person who doesn't enjoy a fucking thing lol. It makes it easier to control said anger. Not that I can't control it without the weed, it just makes the shit a much lighter load.
@@UFEDUC3 Just don't smoke too much, everything Jordan said is true. You can't get physically addicted to weed but a lot of people do get mentally addicted to it. Don't light a J or smoke a bowl to ''deal'' with problems unless you're actually going to go out there and deal with it while you're high.
now he needs to try opiates for a year an see wehre that goes .. crazy how poeple can be addicted to weed.. i think lotta them are addicted to the "smoking part" tahts what it was like for me so i just got a vape pen with no nicotine an a random flavor like watermelon an poofed on that.. that sorta tricked my mind into thinking i was getting high .. yall dont know what addiction really is until youre on opiates . in bed cant sleep for 2 weeks straight in pshycosis, brain like mush. the kicking in bed for days upon weeks. youlll flip the tf out if you really know what its like.. least with weed there isnt really a "withdrawal" as severe as opiates, alcohol, an benzodiazapines (xanax) mix all 3 for a couple months an youll be in a pshyc ward or sieze out an die
@@BayAreaBully7667 I’ve been opiate free for about a year now. That didn’t hold me back like weed did, but definitely a much more difficult addiction to shake 1000%.
Weed is not as harmless as people make it out to be. I know kids that should've been national champion wrestlers in college that wasted it away by smoking, watching netflix, and drinking. I do think it should be legal, but I do think moderation is key with weed. Among many of the top performers I know, most of them are sober or sober most of the time.
Daily smoker for 23 years and decided to quit cold turkey. One moth today and i don't miss it at all, the first two week was a nightmare, couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, sweetings from hell and nightmares through the roof, but now I'm back on track and will never touche it again, i had my time with it but now its time for life ❤ I'm so looking forward to it!
Yea bro I've been smoke free because I have a job that tests me. So I figured if I can find a better job while clean then might as well just stay clean and find a better paying job.
@@aperez6775 thats the move for sure. Getting off of it sucks, I wouldn't wanna deal with all that again. Even the insomnia alone. It's nice to not have to worry about failing a random test. Especially these days, when employers will pop randoms on employees whenever they're looking for a reason to fire them. I've seen it happen at multiple workplaces over the years. Another major benefit- If you test clean after an on-the-job injury, you can get a huge payout.
I stopped 5 days ago after being a 10 year daily smoker. I thought I was sick all week but I think you helped me realize that it is more than that. I have had trouble sleeping at night. Night sweats, tossing and turning and more. I do not have any support. I am doing this alone. Your perspective and experience is helping me realize there are better things on the other side. Thank you
how long did the tossing and turning last cause its making me feel like shit like I’m withdrawing off a hard drug, i didn’t know i’d feel like this trynna quit weed🤦🏾♂️
@@officialjaycamp around 2 weeks, but i started filling my day with anything i could like online courses, exercicing, spending time with people and fam, cleaning my room and house, etc… and i started sleeping like a baby and had WEIRD dreams And doesnt mean that im perfect, but you know 30 mins of online courses one day 0 the other, 2 hours the other its like a mix and match, and deleted instagram and tiktok and co, only kept youtube
@@officialjaycamp we all have our own process. The tossing and turning ended for me after about 5 days. I attibute that to my healthy lifestyle, exercise and healthy eating. It definitely helps. Hang in there! It will get better I promise. you can do this. I am 3 weeks in and feel amazing
😢 I been smoking since I was 11 years old. I am 61. That's 50 years I been smoking a lot every day. I cryed when I saw your video. I watched it 9 times. U try to quit but can't. If I do what you say and quit I will be me wow, 50 years of not knowing me. I am very scared I'll died without it. It's my DNA now. I wish I had support. I AM VERY VERY VERY PROUD OF YOU. GOD WILL FOREVER BLESS YOU. KEEP STRONG AND BRAVE. THANK YOU AGAIN. YOUR AWESOME. GOD GOT YOU FOR REAL.
Hope you are doing good, I was such a fun of the green I was looking up to people like you who smoke their entire life, its a great medicine but definitely can drag u down with time.. I feel it just after like 3 years of smoking a lot.. However I still believe people who smoke are different, it can teach people a lot of great things and it can help in many situations, I cant judge anyone loving it. Hope you are doing great, with or without it, you are still amazing! pls dont judge yourself! 🤍
Thank you, bc I’ve been struggling with adjusting my life back to being sober. It’s 4am and I have the flu, yet, just came back in from smoking two joints and I couldn’t even taste the weed but didn’t stop me.🤦🏾♂️ I’ve never seen any of your content before so I find it strange that your content popped up on my feed so I’m taking the sign to start my journey back to soberness FOR ME! 01/16/2024 Hopefully I’ll be back to thank you again a year from now✊🏾
Exactly what I did two days ago, with the flu, not even tasting it. Its now been 3 days, and I'm still sweating, not eating etc, but at least im not numb
Man literally so true I stopped smoking weed daily for around 1 and a half years now and your brain just automatically looks for ways to get its dopamine elsewhere so I've started doing more sports again, started hitting the gym and just falling in love with the process of making yourself a better person
@@backflipbros7049 not going good king, any advice? I have no self control. I been depressed for a while now. I don’t tell nobody about how I feel. I’m just breathing.
Relapsed today after months. Took a few hits and threw it away already in regret. Felt like i wanted a moment for myself; not realizing anymore how nice life is without. This video was for me. Thank you Jordan. I’ll push through
@@gnosis7188 exactly what it was. Realized that the lower level of consciousness is not living life to its fullest and that its running away from something and not the fix
Damn bro this just popped up on my homepage and I'm on day 11 of my one year cleanse. Been smoking for the better part of a decade and I made the same decision as you since it started to take over my life. Super cool to see this as the journey is still pretty tough at this point for me. You've earned my sub my man, I resonate with you HEAVY.
Spring semester starts for me today. Last semester I was smoking most of the time and barely passed and failed one class so I told myself I would stop smoking until the classes are over or I am on spring break.
Jordan. I watched this video the day it came out and it made me cry. No UA-cam videos ever done that. I made the decision to start progressively under loading, down from 6 bowls a day to 5 to 4 until I was taking a micro bowl at night. Still knew it was holding me back. Now 4 days sober and committed to completely cutting it out of my life and I have full faith I have the strength to do it. First time commenting on one of your videos but man this is so powerful and vulnerable but I am so glad you shared it. Thank you for inspiring me to make the most positive change I could possibly make
10g a week to now 10 days sober and still counting talking a lot about it with my fam really helped. Also letting everyone around me at work and at my friends know I really really want to stop helped! And now this video! Thanks to the world and all good samaritans :)
@@jippeterschif I can give you a hint, don't just cut it all off, take it slow, so you can give your body the time to understand what you are doing, and don't just fall again when you are feeling down. I mean, if it works for you, then throw it all out, but, I'm only saying this because self blame can take us out fast, but can also put us back again just as easily. Peace ✌️
@@lucasedu1868 I tried but when I got to one a week or 1 week without I would slowly start building up again without letting anyone know until I got back to "regular" smoking
This shit hit home, been smoking for years everyday, I run a business and it’s somewhat successful, built it all stoned. I always think about how much further I could be if I stopped and I try and try and try but I always go back to it. This has helped me realize that it’s possible. Thank you Jordan
This is me Jordan. Still fighting that battle. Been smoking since I was little. It’s all I know. But I’ll keep fighting because I feel the same way this video does, I want to stop but I keep coming back to the tree. It’s hard to let go of something that’s been a part of you for so long. Much love. Thanks for making me feel like I’m not alone in this.
Remember it’s like groundhog season every time you smoke weed you recycle the same day over and over and never move forward really with any kind of goals or dreams. You are okay with being bored instead 😢
amen to this brother this is me all the way Im 30 now still smoking daily most times and want to quit dont know what to do with myself at the end of the day without it. Keep the fight strong brother good luck and god bless you.
You have to replace it with something positive, work out, meditate, go for a run, just keep yourself busy. I’m only a week clean for weed but I’m still going strong and I’m not going back
Thanks alot for sharing your story man, it's really inspiring, I quit last year too and still waxing strong, focused more on investing in my health and finances and I'm better off now.
This is really inspiring, been smoking for most of the past 8 years, I’m in the quitting/starting again loop but I’ve just started a business and I know if I could quit I could make it work. This is proof it can be done.. thanks Jordan 👊
I've been smoking every day for about 13 years. I finally decided it's time to change this, and to see what I can accomplish without this crutch. Life is going downhill lately, so I felt like this is what is needed. I'm only on day 3 of no weed, and it's been incredibly difficult, but I am glad I stumbled on your video, and it's given me hope that I can keep doing this. "Idle time is the devil's playground" really hit home, and I wrote that down close by so I can be reminded of this, and to keep busy and continue this battle. Thank you for this video, it's been a motivation boost to say the least
Over 1.5 months sober now! Even quit caffeine! I am 34 and started smoking at 14. Never stopped except during an arrest phase in my early 20's then a rehab phase in my mids. I am LOVING IT! I appreciate you saying over and over again, just one more time....addicts know that isn't a true statement!
You are hitting every point. Spot on. Every stoner knows it. But they don’t want to admit it because they don’t want to stop. This video made a huge impact on me and my recovery. Your truth and transparency will reach out to so many people. Keep it up 👍🏻
Watching this while grinding up a bowl to smoke at 12:44 Pm. I've been on and off trying to quit this stuff for a year now. The anxiety, the panic, the grogginess, the money...i go through 7 grams a day and still try to justify it. If there was ever a time for me to take a stand mentally against my own bad habits i think its now and its thanks too this video truly. This has given me the insight i needed on how GOOD it can feel to rid yourself of a vice you always could tell was limiting you, but could never bring yourself to get rid off. Cheer bro
@@EJBTV unfortunately, not as hard as I have I been though and it’s been really maintainable . I’m in a little bit of a dark place in life with circumstances but I’m trying to turn that into a positive and use motivation from that to keep on. About 3 grams a day give or take for the past week. Hoping to cut it down to an 8th every 3 days🙏
I remember watching this when it first came out and was like this is BS I'm going to keep blazing, Here I am 6 months later Clean and Sober. This video came up on my recommended page and every point he made was so valid. I've never felt so connected to my Body and Mind, This video really shows the stages and challenges of quitting. All my homies still smoke weed but I always tell them I worked to damn hard just to go back. If you are trying to quit, push through it and I promise you there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Quit a month ago to start focusing on my business. This video feels like a message sent from God to motivate me to continue pushing through the withdrawals. Thank you Jordan.
Keep Hope alive young man. You're an inspiration to all the young bucks out there. I'm 50 yrs old and smoke but trying to quit. Whenever I'd stop for a while, it seemed like my hustle was strong but whenever I started back I always had doubts in my ability to hustle. Everything that you have mentioned in the video is spot on. Blessings and Prayers to all
I found out I was pregnant 3 months ago. Before that I smoked about 5 blunts a day since 16 years old. I had to stop cold turkey and it’s been the hardest shit to do 😭😭 but at the same time I’m learning how to handle my emotions without numbing them and it’s made me a more patient person who’s more emotionally available. I don’t plan on smoking anymore after I give birth. I want to stay sober from now on. It’s crazy to think about. I thought I’d be a stoner till I’m 80 like my grandma 😂 I love hearing stories like these
I literally quit smoking yesterday and now this video is getting recommended to me. Helps me alot to know that im not alone on this path. I gotta say alot of things that you experienced just happened the same way to me. thank you for being so open about it
i really appreciate you coming out and sharing your side of your story and how you quit, i’ve been in my thoughts lately about quitting so i can be more productive and less brain fog. again thank you again Jordan for helping me reach this kind of consciousness
First time I comment on your videos, but this is so relevant for me rn. I quit smoking almost 2 months ago after a summer of more days high than not, and feeling a lot of the consequenses, that you describe. I trusted my aunt who recommended me to read a book from NA(Narcotics Anonymous) and perhaps attend a meeting. I met some people that I related to on a very deep level, that I couldn't describe with words (super weird but important experience) You are so right, when you say, that everything we want from weed, we find sober. I can highly recommend some of the material from NA, and just trying to take a 2 month break and see how you feel. To whoever is reading - you got this!
thx for putting this up I've been a hardcore weed smoker since age 13 , and I'm almost 33 the weed didn't do this ... but I torched my life for 20 years I know that when im straight sober , my brains works over twice as well and I have much better productivity and creativity however I have PTSD now and weed as become extremely helpful but I dont wanna be a broke as idiot the rest of my life I love smoking weed ALOT but I need a major break to get my brain straight and rethink my life
Fully agree with this. Used to be an everyday smoker, but the anxiety was starting to happen more often (basically daily) and now I am 3 months into sobriety and I feel better than ever. Also have the energy to go to the gym everyday. Love the content. Going to dive deeper in your channel because of this video. Much love thanks for sharing man
This really is a true description of the ups and downs on quitting weed. My journey (in terms of how your experience was with weed) was almost identical in terms of year started smoking to how I felt when I quit to relapsing on using it again. I’m turning 25 in November I’m almost at my year of sobriety. But yeah man for people who truly love smoking weed as their social choice or that thing to get away from what’s going on in life it can be the toughest thing to give up. It was for me, still is. Sounds like you take it day by day I like that. Great video
This video hit my algorithm at the perfect time. I’ve been struggling to quit since I started my senior year in high school when I was 17. I’m 22 now and can’t quit, even after trying shrooms which helps break addictions didn’t even do it. You motivate me to actually quit this time. Tonight 1/19/24 will be the last joint I ever smoke until at least age 25 when my brain is fully developed. Maybe never again but you never know. At least for the next 3 years I’ll be clean
You can do it bro, I believe in you! Change your mindset, saying you can't means you're already defeated. Believe and don't underestimate yourself, you can do ANYTHING if you put your mind to it. Keep us updated on how you're doing. @nickrajotte6802
I'm so proud of you! I used to smoke a lot too, but it didn't really affected my life. It was like something I do just because I liked it, not because I needed it. One day, I don't even remember when, I just thought "I don't feel like smoking today", and it's been probably around a year now. Weed, just like everything in this life, needs to be used wisely. It really helped me spiritually and mentally. It helped me learn more about myself and the things I love. I remember every time I smoked, I just listened to what my body wants. For example, I smoke and sit in silence for 5 - 10 minutes, than my body tells me it needs some exercise, so I get up and go out with my bike. I say it's not something bad, but its definitely something you should be careful with. For the people who suffer from weed, get in touch with yourself first, don't let it be the thing that makes you happy. Learn what makes you really happy when you're sober, than you'll see that its better than the fake dopamine your addictions give you. Much love from me! Stay strong
wow such an inspiring way of using weed aswell, not just smoke and zone out, smoke and feel out, bascially meditating on what will happen , i like that a lot
Been smoking for several years now but I've recently started breaking free from the habit. Truly, this is one of the hardest things to quit. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
im 30 turning 31 and have been smoking almost everyday since i was 15. i resonate so strongly with jordan's story. the cycle of trying to quit, taking day off and noticing you're feeling better without it but for some reason you have a visceral urge to smoke that can't be ignored. you cave and you feel guilty and don't even enjoy the smoke. I've been trying to quit for so long, and only randomy stumbled across this channel. funny enough i smoked a bowl while watching. will it be my last one? Thanks for sharing this video Jordan!
Came across this video during my first month sober after years of an off and on battle. There’s been a back and fourth fight in my mind about how long I should stay sober for, and struggling to feel like it’s really worth it. Your vid encouraged me to keep going after seeing the amazing benefits from sobriety, and motivated me to stay strong. Thanks for sharing your story Jordan, God Bless
Thank you so much for this video bro. I used to struggle with addiction for years. The way you described all the emotions is so real bro. The doubt and questions and fear are so hard. I'm praying this video finds the right people. It blessed me today and was a reminder to never go back. I'm 4 years clean now. Praying for you man! Keep it up!
Crazy this popped up on my feed. Smoked everyday since I was 15. 32 now was never motivated to be better but to support my habit. Had a kid and told myself I had to kick it cuz it was holding me back. Quit for 6 months smoked one other time and never wanted to do it again. Shit really holds you back. I love cannabis and all the benefits but make sure your t’s are crossed and I’s dotted. I refused to admit it held me back but it does. Anyone who’s stopping you got it and your days after will be much brighter!
Just came around to this video, about a week in from everyday smoking. I knew things in my life would get better without it but it's great to hear a first hand experience of it actually working out. Couldn't have watched this at a better time man.
i just switched to smoking in the am with a coffee or after breakfast and smoke like a hour before i sleep works the best for me u also save alot of money trust
You are literally using the worst moments to smoke dude, you are high all day with that routine. If you want to moderate it's right in the middle, first get things donde, when the sun hides, there you smoke! to close to going to bed is bad idea...@@dbgetsblocks9713
Bro I just came across this video last night and it was truly inspiring. I’ve been trying to quit for the past year now, and have failed terribly. Basically going to the same cycles as you did but I am determined to win this fight because I know life is so much better when I’m not high all the time. Thank you for sharing.
mahn I've watched this and finished just now and tbh your just speaking a lot of facts, been wanting to quit this herb ever since last year at around October but eventually keep on running back after 3 days cause of the availability this popped up on my feed and i knew i had to watch it I'm 2 days free right now and I'm honestly just tired of smoking it as I'm always regretting right after i consume thank you for the encouragement wholeheartedly cant wait to see what the other side is like I'm officially done as its always affecting my everyday life, thank you again!! man you have no idea how this video has done nothing more but encourage me to quit this herb to see that it can actually be done and your genuinely happy wherever you are amazing bro! 01/18/2024 i trust and pray ill be back with nothing but the best news after 365/365 !!
I am a serial quitter and I agree with everything you said in this video. Every time I go back I feel like a loser. It feels so good when I'm "clean" because I'm respecting myself. Thank you!
*I began my investment journey at the age of 27, primarily through hard work and dedication. I am to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity.*
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $500k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
The adviser I'm in touch with is 'Alfredo L. Brown FX' He works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else, for me his strategy works hence my result. He provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
Took the words out of my mouth on this one Jordan. I have my own business and warehouse all at the age of 18, but ive been smoking non stop since the age of 14. Weed is legal in my state and their is dispo's on every corner. I have built a whole company from the ground up andd many people would say its a very successful company, espicially for my age and I have did all this while high. Every night I tell myself I need to quite but I just cant stop. This video really did help me in realizing im not alone so I really apprecieate you for making this. I need to quit this shit so I can build my company even higher to the places I know I can take it, and your video for me proved that its possible. Thank you Jordan for making this piece of content ❤
@@TheNewAgeCEO I dont, social media hasn't been my thing so I stay off it mainly. I appreciate it though bro. I started a Amazon Private Label company about 2 years ago and ever since then it hasnt been nothing less of amazing.
Proud of you man!! I so dearly want to be sober, and see where my future ends up because of it. I’ve spent over 10 years of my life smoking weed, and I know deep down that there is more to me than this. Your video is an inspiration!
I really appreciate this story.. I started pretty much like you then graduated to smoking 2-4 woods a day. Money was never the issue but I was no longer enjoying the process. It became more like chore. I been clean for a week now🎉 These videos/comments from others really help out a lot.
I started smoking Marijuana since my teenage. Got addicted to heroin for over 8 years. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment actually saved my life. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine,alcohol and cigarettes.And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need!
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus.
I read in a book that in order to stop a bad habit you have to replace it with good habits. I think a key point was that on the time you were actually able to stop weed it probably helped you started going hiking, playing basketball, etc. it’s not just stop doing weed but is super important you replace it with goos and healthy habits
Man, this video really resonates with me. Seeing someone talk about their journey without weed hits differently, especially when it mirrors your own experience. Props to you for sharing your story, it's inspiring to hear how ditching the smoke has led to such a positive transformation. Here's to all of us finding our natural highs and living our best lives, one sober day at a time! Cheers to clarity and embracing the beauty of life
This video describes my entire experience. Moving out when I was 17. No matter what I tried to do to escape, I continued finding myself in the environment. Either it was around or people were around smoking - so accessible. Choosing to move states, and be in an area it’s not accessible is an amazing choice. Thank you so much for this video
Big man , I stopped about 2 months ago and everything you said in this video is 100% the true and it just motivated me to work harder towards my dreams
@@guacfiendgotta reward yourself with it...can't be the first or second thing you do when you wake up. I had to learn that...wake up and do what's NEEDED so you can do what you want.
Everyday I learn a little bit more about myself. The quality of happiness depends on how well I understand myself. Everything that distracts me from learning about myself is holding back this pure bliss.
I really appreciate you making this video man today is my 2nd day being sober and it’s hard but I’m going to push through it , I wish everybody good luck !🙏
I’m now 3 1/2 weeks sober and not going back until I know I won’t stick on it again. It’s been very hard to not but it’s getting me the life I need. And your video made me see it all so clearer! Well done!
Mad respect for posting such a transparent video bro. I know this one has been on your mind for a long time. I once saw you tweet “weed has taken away so many men’s full potential.” In that moment I knew you had smoked and you were getting over it, knew it was a matter of time until you spoke about it publicly. You are right though, the ability to maximize your potential when sober is unmatched. ❤
"... because without smoking, I've been forced to find all my joy and fulfillment through the journey of becoming a better man." Your experience with weed is almost identical to mine (at least in regards to the amount and timeline). I'm in the process of quitting now, and it's been tough. This quote you said resonated with me and motivates me more than anything I've heard on the subject though. It's just so true. With weed, you can be in a shitty place, and slowly be getting worse, but still feel content, until one day things get so bad you're forced to face them. Best to quit before hitting rock bottom.
So much truth here. I have quit and have struggled. When sober, music isn’t as fun but it’s good to have my brain back. Points about the first month, dreams and staying busy are spot on. Thanks for posting.
Woke up this morning feeling brand new, I’m going to try my hardest to put the weed down, I’ve always known it’s my downfall just been in denial, thanks for producing great content, valuable advice and information to help me on my journey to success💪🏽
Really hit home for me. I've been smoking for 8+ years and for a while now I've been at that stage you mentioned where I know I want to stop. My family all smoke and its completely normalized in my house. I've tried to quit multiple times but always end up back in bed, smoking and watching TV like nothing happened. It feels like it's almost a part of myself at this point. When I try and quit, day to day life almost feels alien to me. I get easily frustrated with everything, my anxiety seems to get turned up to 11 and all I can think about is smoking. This video has made me look at quitting a little bit differently as all the things you spoke about felt very familiar. I think I'm gonna give quitting another go very soon as it seems to have really positively affected your life and your headspace. I've never managed to make it out of that first month of quitting so that's something I'll aim for this time around. Thank you for making the video, it's good knowing that these aren't things that only I'm experiencing.
Bro your story is eerily identical to mine right now. I quit for 6 months back in January 2023 and then went on a trip with friends after graduation and had the same exact thoughts as you, the deserving feelingand also thinking you can handle it again. Took only two weeks until I was back to buying weekly. Smoked for a month and then couldnt handle it anymore, went sober up until December and then I began smoking daily again
i never smoked my entire life but last year i decided to start and it has been the best year of my life. I've met new friends, gone outside more, had 50% less anxiety than before and overall am in a better mood usually.
same, i think it may have something to do with when you start. I didn't start until after I left the military, and I was 26. Maybe its because my brain was fully developed or something like that. Don't really think its good to start really young for sure. It helps with my anxiety, PTSD, and most surprisingly, my ADHD. Don't really hear people talking about it helping with their ADHD, and I kind of figured that out by accident, but my chores are done for the first time in my life every day and I'm not embarrassed of my room or car anymore.
Yes, this video feels a bit one-sided. Unfortunately, it doesn't go into how many people have been massively helped by the consumption of weed. On the other hand, you should of course be a bit careful if you only consume it for pleasure. It's like everything in life: too much of one thing is usually not healthy.
Thank you so much for this man. There are so many parallels that I feel. I'm about 3 weeks out from both weed and video games and still in the doubt stage so this really meant a lot. Your recollection of all the stages is seriously invaluable. I'm tired of always being tired, not sleeping well, feeling like I'm stagnating, and not getting out of the house. I want to do more and be more, and the comfort of weed is so much easier than the fear of change.. but I'm not living. I'll see you on the other side, would love to meet you one day. Keep killing it brother 🤜🤛
Weed was never my thing but I used to be a big time alcoholic. I just hit 6 months clean and i've been kind of down and bored lately but that's because I haven't been doing enough to work on me and my goals. I got a lot out of this! Thanks Jordan! First time seeing one of your videos but I hit the subscribe button.
Weed opened a door in my life i still can’t close. It makes reality seem inferior. Once the threshold of ignorance is peeled, trauma leaks through and euphoria becomes the escape. The higher you get, the harder you crash after every trip. The second threshold is crossed when you realise that it’s the actual problem. Then the internal war begins. Some have conquered, none have failed, goodluck on your fight. 🙏
I’ve been sober for a month, and I’m dying!! Everything is boring af literally EVERYTHING! I don’t find purpose in life anymore. My head hurts, my stomach hurts, I have chills, I can’t sleep for nothing! Not even melatonin pills help me. If I try to sleep seems like I’m sleeping but I’m awake at the same time. I don’t rest. Mi life sucks now, I’m depressed, anxious, moody, my family hates me they say I was happier when I smoked they say I look like a homeless now, I try to change and I can’t. I just hate this and idk why I stopped in the first place I just decided to try it out not smoking and it’s not going well. When I smoked I had motivation to workout, prep my meals, I used to go out, fishing, travel etc, now I’m just home, I’m my room, laying down (after work) not wanting to go out or have fun, I don’t cook anymore, I cancelled my gym membership cuz is just boring. My life is a disaster now. I don’t believe those people that say. “I stopped smoking and I have energy im new man, I’m happier BS!!” Is not all that ITS WORSE!!!!!!
You still sober bro? I understand where you’re coming from but something you need to understand is that the reason you feel this way is because weed has absolutely engrained itself into the physiology of your mind. It has become the definition of a dependency. Without it life is just worse. That is a substance that you are dependent on to live what you now define as “normally” I smoked straight wax every day for a year and it took me months to actually feel like I wanted to be sober. Most of that time is just you going through straight up withdrawals from something you used to have whenever you wanted it. You will feel happy and excited again. Most of all you will feel free. Free to be at peace in your own body without the need for outside stimulation. It’s a super tough road and I think it’s awesome that you tried to begin with. I’m not against weed even in my own life but it needs to be a special experience. Not just your regular way of being or it loses its sparkle over time. No matter what good luck with what you choose and sometimes learning that something isn’t for you is just as valuable as finding out you love something. Peace.
@@anytimetown6214 im sober 3 months almost. Anhedonia is still here I’m a walking zombie without emotions. I’m depressed and sad all the time. Anxiety and insomnia are gone now but depression is worse day by day. I keep quitting jobs for no reason, I keep avoiding people and being in a horrible mood daily. I miss weed still, I was about to buy some today but I said no no no. Even tho I need it I don’t miss it, it’s just want I feel blank and like I’m not here. I reeked therapy for a month didn’t work Dr gave me antidepressants and didn’t help I got worse developed suicidal thoughts due to antidepressants so Dr discontinued them. And now I’m here over weight (when I smoke I was skinny) sad lonely and miserable. Friends annoy me and I just wanna be alone and die soon
DAMN this is what I needed to hear, everything has fallen apart and ive been wondering what the problem is for years and ive realized now I use it to run from my problems and opportunities im for sure doing this just to see how life treats me because ive really been going thru it and all I do is smoke to cope with my problems but now im going to face them instead of running from them because were all growing to be adults not children we need to find how to control ourselves and solve the problems because shit these have been the worst couple years of my life, I pray all of yall that are like this succeed as well even if your not I hope all of you succeed, were all going to have our goals achieved one day it just takes a strong and commited mindset.
First of all I can't remember the last time where I completed a video on UA-cam without moving my mouse to check where I'm at and how much is left of it and I really enjoy watching longer vids, your narration is really on point. Besides that, I am no way near an addict (I smoke maybe once every couple months or so with friends), but GOD did this video motivate me and reminded me that if I'm not struggling towards a change then chances are I will never reach it, and lastly it is seriously impressive to go a year without smoke considering the amount you used to consume mad respect for that, it seems to me that the very first time you felt like quitting which started that cycle of going on and off is what allowed this to happen in the first place, even if you ended up going back to gas multiple times afterwards, it's that small initiative you took that probably made it clear to you that you do recognize that it's a problem which is the main step to recovery. So yeah no matter for how long you've kept that cycle going it is always an active form of you facing the problem so you should also be proud of that phase, it should be a constant reminder that you were constantly making efforts to battle that dependency no matter how inconsistent it may have looked.
One of the best videos I’ve ever scene on this topic. This has been an ongoing thing for me. Everything you said and felt is the same exact I feel and say. It’s crazy how we know what it’s doing to us but it’s so hard to break from.
Sending love your way my boy. This is just addiction in general. I suffered through a vaping addiction since I was 16 (23 now) but I’m one month sober again and I really feel good about this time. I haven’t felt so positive like this without one in my hand for a long time. Shoutout anyone that struggles with any sort of addiction and is really trying to work through it.
nic is the devil man. ive been sober for 3 years off weed no problem but i started vaping in 2019 and quit on and off until 3 months ago. now ive been sober from nic for 3 months i gotta tell you that shits the devil. i finally got control over myself to not buy it but when someone is vaping around me it takes 95% of my concentration to not ask for it.
Im so glad I came across this video! I used to LOVE smoking my teenage years and when I do it now I feel like it’s wrong. But something always seems to have me come back this is my SIGN thanks!!!
Thanks, man - I really needed to hear this. I've been smoking for about 10ish years and decided to give it up. Looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel
Glad I stumbled upon this video. I stopped smoking a little over a year ago, but have started to get more and more cravings recently. As I was watching your video it reminded me why I stopped. You nailed this one on the head frfr.
This is the most accurate video I’ve seen about how it’s been for me after quitting weed💯 I started smoking at 13. Would smoke gas DAILY and 9 months ago I quit cold turkey. I really feel like myself Really feel more confident in my conversations Have less anxiety More present in the moment It’s real! Things aren’t perfect but it’s really forcing yourself to use your natural organic brain power and it goes to show that you don’t need anything other than yourself to bring the best out💯💯💯
I feel way better since quitting, like you said the mental clarity and sleep feels amazing now. I do get cravings but after 2 weeks I feel like you'll start to be able to challenge those cravings a lot harder cause you don't want to fall back into it and lose what you're gaining from sobriety
I started smoking weed when I was 13 till i was 18 it ended up from weekly to everyday thing then i found the courage to stop and it lasted 2 and a half years im 21 now and i found my self smoking again and you are right those two years were the best years of my life. But the journey isn't over Thanks for this video We can all do it.
I’m not gonna lie I’ve never heard such a realistic perspective on this. Weed is the one thing in my life that’s been hindering me from true success, but yet I still go back to it despite knowing that I would be better off leaving it alone. It’s been the only thing I’ve known for about 3 years, and for perspective I’m only 16 so the effects on my brain processing has definitely been affected (way more than I would like to admit). Thank you for sharing this because it’s motivating to see someone else in your exact same situation completely change the course of their lives, and just to know it’s possible gives a driving factor than I honestly can’t thank you enough for Jordan.
That's a very nice story and i'm proud of you. I have smoking for 6-7 years, and today is my second day without it, your video has inspired me. I'm almost back to my normal state of being. I smoke like a microdosing, 1g was enough for 1 month almost, but anyways i feel the same. I wish to any stoner to wake up and start to feel the real life, i will update on my journey of being clear. GL for everyone. We can do it!
Thank you, brother!You gave me hope.It’s my second time trying to quit, last time I got back again after a month.I’m currently in my 2nd week sober and it’s so damn hard. I felt every word you said, it’s exactly my situation.Greetings from Romania!
I’m glad you shared this story with us because I also decided to quit awhile now. I relate to your story. It’s always amazing to see the growth in someone 🌳❤️
That line.. “without smoking, I’ve been forced to find all my joy and fulfillment through the journey of becoming a better man”. Bless you my brother! Huge inspiration. 13:58
100%, it literally helped, and I was like “damn you hit ME with that”, but now that I see tons of people talking bout it, it feels even more powerful, knowing that the fact that we all see this so poetic may mean that is it an absolute truth and rule of life.

The dreams after quitting are gnarly
too gnarly lol
I have gnarly dreams right now smoking high potency cannabis all day for years. A few dreams a night too. If they are more real and vivid than now, I dont know what to expect
@ninjanik2095 bro they are next level once you quit smoking. I was only dabbing rosin before I quit so I had really high tolerance so when I quit the dreams hit like a ton of bricks
@@ninjanik2095 You won't be able to tell reality and dreams apart for a lil while
@@wellackchyually lol i agree when i quit the dreams were literally insane and so real i had no choice but to write them all down its crazy how immersive it is in that realm it makes you look at life differently
I literally quit smoking yesterday and now this video is getting recommended to me. Helps me alot to know that im not alone on this path. I gotta say alot of things that you experienced just happened the same way to me. thank you for being so open about it 🙏
I quit 3 days ago bro we got this 🤙🏼
i quit 1 week ago too dude and its beeing hard as hell
Dude I swear I stopped smoking like 5 days ago and saw this same vid imma just chuck it up and say I’mma go thru the same motions for the next 360 days
Same thing happened to me! I'm on day three now, and just on UA-cam on Xbox and this video pops up in the recommended. I hope you find success in your battle, and all the best!
Yo to all of you who says you just quit, I quit 2 months ago, trust me it’s shit in the beginning but super worth it.
If you survive the first week it’s relatively easy to go on from there, phisically talking you are basically clean, but the habit or the craving might stick around longer so just stay strong!! You all got this!!!
As someone who just quit smoking after 18 years straight, I'm already starting to see how much it's allowed me to remain complacent and stagnant in life. Kudos to you man.
Complete opposite for me. Didn't really smoke, nor did I like it much until I was 24(29 now) and when I started smoking, my life improved dramatically as, without it I'm a very angry/rage filled person who doesn't enjoy a fucking thing lol. It makes it easier to control said anger. Not that I can't control it without the weed, it just makes the shit a much lighter load.
@@UFEDUC3give it 15 years. You will start seeing it’s useless. I was the same 15 years ago now I’m over it.
@@UFEDUC3 Just don't smoke too much, everything Jordan said is true. You can't get physically addicted to weed but a lot of people do get mentally addicted to it. Don't light a J or smoke a bowl to ''deal'' with problems unless you're actually going to go out there and deal with it while you're high.
now he needs to try opiates for a year an see wehre that goes .. crazy how poeple can be addicted to weed.. i think lotta them are addicted to the "smoking part" tahts what it was like for me so i just got a vape pen with no nicotine an a random flavor like watermelon an poofed on that.. that sorta tricked my mind into thinking i was getting high .. yall dont know what addiction really is until youre on opiates . in bed cant sleep for 2 weeks straight in pshycosis, brain like mush. the kicking in bed for days upon weeks. youlll flip the tf out if you really know what its like.. least with weed there isnt really a "withdrawal" as severe as opiates, alcohol, an benzodiazapines (xanax) mix all 3 for a couple months an youll be in a pshyc ward or sieze out an die
@@BayAreaBully7667 I’ve been opiate free for about a year now. That didn’t hold me back like weed did, but definitely a much more difficult addiction to shake 1000%.
Weed is not as harmless as people make it out to be. I know kids that should've been national champion wrestlers in college that wasted it away by smoking, watching netflix, and drinking. I do think it should be legal, but I do think moderation is key with weed. Among many of the top performers I know, most of them are sober or sober most of the time.
Well said bro
On God bro as Jordan put it it's a vice seems harmless but it is harmful if you plan on becoming the top 1%

Lol maybe it’s the drinking and the internet not the cannabis.
@@n.w.p.4315Denial, ladies and gentlemen
Daily smoker for 23 years and decided to quit cold turkey.
One moth today and i don't miss it at all, the first two week was a nightmare, couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, sweetings from hell and nightmares through the roof, but now I'm back on track and will never touche it again, i had my time with it but now its time for life ❤ I'm so looking forward to it!
Yea bro I've been smoke free because I have a job that tests me. So I figured if I can find a better job while clean then might as well just stay clean and find a better paying job.
@@aperez6775 thats the move for sure. Getting off of it sucks, I wouldn't wanna deal with all that again. Even the insomnia alone.
It's nice to not have to worry about failing a random test. Especially these days, when employers will pop randoms on employees whenever they're looking for a reason to fire them. I've seen it happen at multiple workplaces over the years.
Another major benefit-
If you test clean after an on-the-job injury, you can get a huge payout.
well fucking done - life is so much better without
I stopped 5 days ago after being a 10 year daily smoker. I thought I was sick all week but I think you helped me realize that it is more than that. I have had trouble sleeping at night. Night sweats, tossing and turning and more. I do not have any support. I am doing this alone. Your perspective and experience is helping me realize there are better things on the other side. Thank you
The story is the same as mine five days in as well. Stay strong. I’m also going cold, turkey and alcohol as well. I feel good stay strong.
yes the first few weeks are hard, but after that, sleeping gets SO MUCH BETTER, definitely an energy boost.
how long did the tossing and turning last cause its making me feel like shit like I’m withdrawing off a hard drug, i didn’t know i’d feel like this trynna quit weed🤦🏾♂️
@@officialjaycamp around 2 weeks, but i started filling my day with anything i could like online courses, exercicing, spending time with people and fam, cleaning my room and house, etc… and i started sleeping like a baby and had WEIRD dreams
And doesnt mean that im perfect, but you know 30 mins of online courses one day 0 the other, 2 hours the other its like a mix and match, and deleted instagram and tiktok and co, only kept youtube
@@officialjaycamp we all have our own process. The tossing and turning ended for me after about 5 days. I attibute that to my healthy lifestyle, exercise and healthy eating. It definitely helps. Hang in there! It will get better I promise. you can do this. I am 3 weeks in and feel amazing
Proud brother, strong man moves 🤝🏽
that's love
This is the greatest title to influence stupid people I have ever seen! lol
Brooooo I hope one day when I make a video and jay would just comment he’s proud too🥹
super proud of this dude for making a fake clickbait video
Is not big dael
😢 I been smoking since I was 11 years old. I am 61. That's 50 years I been smoking a lot every day. I cryed when I saw your video. I watched it 9 times. U try to quit but can't. If I do what you say and quit I will be me wow, 50 years of not knowing me. I am very scared I'll died without it. It's my DNA now. I wish I had support. I AM VERY VERY VERY PROUD OF YOU. GOD WILL FOREVER BLESS YOU. KEEP STRONG AND BRAVE. THANK YOU AGAIN. YOUR AWESOME. GOD GOT YOU FOR REAL.
Hope you are doing good, I was such a fun of the green I was looking up to people like you who smoke their entire life, its a great medicine but definitely can drag u down with time.. I feel it just after like 3 years of smoking a lot.. However I still believe people who smoke are different, it can teach people a lot of great things and it can help in many situations, I cant judge anyone loving it. Hope you are doing great, with or without it, you are still amazing! pls dont judge yourself! 🤍
It's like he's describing what you know❤ I same here but today I quit
Respect for the honesty
Sending you love and I hope you find light within without weed . 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
If you can't quit weed you are one weak person . God help.you try anything else
Thank you, bc I’ve been struggling with adjusting my life back to being sober. It’s 4am and I have the flu, yet, just came back in from smoking two joints and I couldn’t even taste the weed but didn’t stop me.🤦🏾♂️ I’ve never seen any of your content before so I find it strange that your content popped up on my feed so I’m taking the sign to start my journey back to soberness FOR ME!
01/16/2024
Hopefully I’ll be back to thank you again a year from now✊🏾
Exactly what I did two days ago, with the flu, not even tasting it. Its now been 3 days, and I'm still sweating, not eating etc, but at least im not numb

Hope u make it man
come back with an update in a month, proud of you bro
Love u guys, I feel like I can do it thanks
Man literally so true I stopped smoking weed daily for around 1 and a half years now and your brain just automatically looks for ways to get its dopamine elsewhere so I've started doing more sports again, started hitting the gym and just falling in love with the process of making yourself a better person

Damn bro this just popped up on my homepage and I'm on day 11 of my one year cleanse. Been smoking for the better part of a decade and I made the same decision as you since it started to take over my life. Super cool to see this as the journey is still pretty tough at this point for me. You've earned my sub my man, I resonate with you HEAVY.
Spring semester starts for me today. Last semester I was smoking most of the time and barely passed and failed one class so I told myself I would stop smoking until the classes are over or I am on spring break.
Jordan. I watched this video the day it came out and it made me cry. No UA-cam videos ever done that. I made the decision to start progressively under loading, down from 6 bowls a day to 5 to 4 until I was taking a micro bowl at night. Still knew it was holding me back. Now 4 days sober and committed to completely cutting it out of my life and I have full faith I have the strength to do it. First time commenting on one of your videos but man this is so powerful and vulnerable but I am so glad you shared it. Thank you for inspiring me to make the most positive change I could possibly make

Thanks man, I’ve been clean for 3 weeks now you are helping me to have inspiration to keep going!
This shit hit home, been smoking for years everyday, I run a business and it’s somewhat successful, built it all stoned. I always think about how much further I could be if I stopped and I try and try and try but I always go back to it. This has helped me realize that it’s possible.
Thank you Jordan
time and place for everything brother
you only gonna quit weed when you really want it believe me
You think you would be where you are or better with or without weed I would definitely be better off but still smoke
u can do it bro! im trying to stop too
Same boat built my business stoned ignoring my surroundings. Time to stop, scale, move forward.
This is me Jordan. Still fighting that battle. Been smoking since I was little. It’s all I know. But I’ll keep fighting because I feel the same way this video does, I want to stop but I keep coming back to the tree. It’s hard to let go of something that’s been a part of you for so long. Much love. Thanks for making me feel like I’m not alone in this.
You're not alone dawg, stay strong
Remember it’s like groundhog season every time you smoke weed you recycle the same day over and over and never move forward really with any kind of goals or dreams. You are okay with being bored instead 😢
amen to this brother this is me all the way Im 30 now still smoking daily most times and want to quit dont know what to do with myself at the end of the day without it. Keep the fight strong brother good luck and god bless you.
You have to replace it with something positive, work out, meditate, go for a run, just keep yourself busy. I’m only a week clean for weed but I’m still going strong and I’m not going back
Thanks alot for sharing your story man, it's really inspiring, I quit last year too and still waxing strong, focused more on investing in my health and finances and I'm better off now.
This is really inspiring, been smoking for most of the past 8 years, I’m in the quitting/starting again loop but I’ve just started a business and I know if I could quit I could make it work. This is proof it can be done.. thanks Jordan 👊
You can do it if you manage your sleep, thats the trick.
I've been smoking every day for about 13 years. I finally decided it's time to change this, and to see what I can accomplish without this crutch. Life is going downhill lately, so I felt like this is what is needed. I'm only on day 3 of no weed, and it's been incredibly difficult, but I am glad I stumbled on your video, and it's given me hope that I can keep doing this. "Idle time is the devil's playground" really hit home, and I wrote that down close by so I can be reminded of this, and to keep busy and continue this battle. Thank you for this video, it's been a motivation boost to say the least
Over 1.5 months sober now! Even quit caffeine! I am 34 and started smoking at 14. Never stopped except during an arrest phase in my early 20's then a rehab phase in my mids. I am LOVING IT! I appreciate you saying over and over again, just one more time....addicts know that isn't a true statement!
You are hitting every point. Spot on. Every stoner knows it. But they don’t want to admit it because they don’t want to stop. This video made a huge impact on me and my recovery. Your truth and transparency will reach out to so many people. Keep it up 👍🏻

The anxiety, the panic, the grogginess, the money...i go through 7 grams a day and still try to justify it. If there was ever a time for me to take a stand mentally against my own bad habits i think its now and its thanks too this video truly. This has given me the insight i needed on how GOOD it can feel to rid yourself of a vice you always could tell was limiting you, but could never bring yourself to get rid off. Cheer bro
Did you go back? 7 grams a day is a lot. Be patient and trust the progress.
@@EJBTV unfortunately, not as hard as I have I been though and it’s been really maintainable . I’m in a little bit of a dark place in life with circumstances but I’m trying to turn that into a positive and use motivation from that to keep on. About 3 grams a day give or take for the past week. Hoping to cut it down to an 8th every 3 days🙏
7 is decent but hope you beat that
I remember watching this when it first came out and was like this is BS I'm going to keep blazing, Here I am 6 months later Clean and Sober. This video came up on my recommended page and every point he made was so valid. I've never felt so connected to my Body and Mind, This video really shows the stages and challenges of quitting. All my homies still smoke weed but I always tell them I worked to damn hard just to go back. If you are trying to quit, push through it and I promise you there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Quit a month ago to start focusing on my business. This video feels like a message sent from God to motivate me to continue pushing through the withdrawals. Thank you Jordan.

I'm 50 yrs old and smoke but trying to quit. Whenever I'd stop for a while, it seemed like my hustle was strong but whenever I started back I always had doubts in my ability to hustle. Everything that you have mentioned in the video is spot on. Blessings and Prayers to all
I found out I was pregnant 3 months ago. Before that I smoked about 5 blunts a day since 16 years old. I had to stop cold turkey and it’s been the hardest shit to do 😭😭 but at the same time I’m learning how to handle my emotions without numbing them and it’s made me a more patient person who’s more emotionally available. I don’t plan on smoking anymore after I give birth. I want to stay sober from now on. It’s crazy to think about. I thought I’d be a stoner till I’m 80 like my grandma 😂 I love hearing stories like these
This is beautiful. I hope things are going amazing
Going through pregnancy after quitting weed gotta be wicked
I literally quit smoking yesterday and now this video is getting recommended to me. Helps me alot to know that im not alone on this path. I gotta say alot of things that you experienced just happened the same way to me. thank you for being so open about it
i really appreciate you coming out and sharing your side of your story and how you quit, i’ve been in my thoughts lately about quitting so i can be more productive and less brain fog. again thank you again Jordan for helping me reach this kind of consciousness
First time I comment on your videos, but this is so relevant for me rn.
I quit smoking almost 2 months ago after a summer of more days high than not, and feeling a lot of the consequenses, that you describe.
I trusted my aunt who recommended me to read a book from NA(Narcotics Anonymous) and perhaps attend a meeting. I met some people that I related to on a very deep level, that I couldn't describe with words (super weird but important experience)
You are so right, when you say, that everything we want from weed, we find sober.
I can highly recommend some of the material from NA, and just trying to take a 2 month break and see how you feel.
To whoever is reading - you got this!
What book?
Thank you😢
Hi man! I would also like to know the name of the book
thx for putting this up
I've been a hardcore weed smoker since age 13 , and I'm almost 33
the weed didn't do this ... but I torched my life for 20 years
I know that when im straight sober , my brains works over twice as well and I have much better productivity and creativity
however I have PTSD now and weed as become extremely helpful
but I dont wanna be a broke as idiot the rest of my life
I love smoking weed
ALOT
but I need a major break to get my brain straight and rethink my life
Keep it up!
Fully agree with this. Used to be an everyday smoker, but the anxiety was starting to happen more often (basically daily) and now I am 3 months into sobriety and I feel better than ever. Also have the energy to go to the gym everyday. Love the content. Going to dive deeper in your channel because of this video. Much love thanks for sharing man
This really is a true description of the ups and downs on quitting weed. My journey (in terms of how your experience was with weed) was almost identical in terms of year started smoking to how I felt when I quit to relapsing on using it again. I’m turning 25 in November I’m almost at my year of sobriety. But yeah man for people who truly love smoking weed as their social choice or that thing to get away from what’s going on in life it can be the toughest thing to give up. It was for me, still is. Sounds like you take it day by day I like that. Great video
Truly inspiring, nobody knows what it is like until they are in that position.
This video hit my algorithm at the perfect time. I’ve been struggling to quit since I started my senior year in high school when I was 17. I’m 22 now and can’t quit, even after trying shrooms which helps break addictions didn’t even do it. You motivate me to actually quit this time. Tonight 1/19/24 will be the last joint I ever smoke until at least age 25 when my brain is fully developed. Maybe never again but you never know. At least for the next 3 years I’ll be clean
How’s it going?
You can do it bro, I believe in you! Change your mindset, saying you can't means you're already defeated. Believe and don't underestimate yourself, you can do ANYTHING if you put your mind to it. Keep us updated on how you're doing. @nickrajotte6802
I'm so proud of you! I used to smoke a lot too, but it didn't really affected my life. It was like something I do just because I liked it, not because I needed it. One day, I don't even remember when, I just thought "I don't feel like smoking today", and it's been probably around a year now. Weed, just like everything in this life, needs to be used wisely. It really helped me spiritually and mentally. It helped me learn more about myself and the things I love. I remember every time I smoked, I just listened to what my body wants. For example, I smoke and sit in silence for 5 - 10 minutes, than my body tells me it needs some exercise, so I get up and go out with my bike. I say it's not something bad, but its definitely something you should be careful with. For the people who suffer from weed, get in touch with yourself first, don't let it be the thing that makes you happy. Learn what makes you really happy when you're sober, than you'll see that its better than the fake dopamine your addictions give you. Much love from me! Stay strong

wow such an inspiring way of using weed aswell, not just smoke and zone out, smoke and feel out, bascially meditating on what will happen , i like that a lot
Been smoking for several years now but I've recently started breaking free from the habit. Truly, this is one of the hardest things to quit. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
What if I don't smoke weed ? Do I need start , getting addicted and than stop to become millionaire?
Bro figured out the method
Kinda make sense lowkey😂weed makes you more self aware
Yes
Lmfao
Yes
im 30 turning 31 and have been smoking almost everyday since i was 15. i resonate so strongly with jordan's story. the cycle of trying to quit, taking day off and noticing you're feeling better without it but for some reason you have a visceral urge to smoke that can't be ignored. you cave and you feel guilty and don't even enjoy the smoke. I've been trying to quit for so long, and only randomy stumbled across this channel. funny enough i smoked a bowl while watching. will it be my last one? Thanks for sharing this video Jordan!
Seriously inspirational Jordan - I had tears in my eyes and reading the comments I'm not the only one. Keep sharing your story it's an amazing one.
Came across this video during my first month sober after years of an off and on battle. There’s been a back and fourth fight in my mind about how long I should stay sober for, and struggling to feel like it’s really worth it. Your vid encouraged me to keep going after seeing the amazing benefits from sobriety, and motivated me to stay strong. Thanks for sharing your story Jordan, God Bless
im in the same situation, stay strong king
Thank you so much for this video bro. I used to struggle with addiction for years. The way you described all the emotions is so real bro. The doubt and questions and fear are so hard. I'm praying this video finds the right people. It blessed me today and was a reminder to never go back. I'm 4 years clean now. Praying for you man! Keep it up!
Crazy this popped up on my feed. Smoked everyday since I was 15. 32 now was never motivated to be better but to support my habit. Had a kid and told myself I had to kick it cuz it was holding me back. Quit for 6 months smoked one other time and never wanted to do it again. Shit really holds you back. I love cannabis and all the benefits but make sure your t’s are crossed and I’s dotted. I refused to admit it held me back but it does. Anyone who’s stopping you got it and your days after will be much brighter!
Just came around to this video, about a week in from everyday smoking. I knew things in my life would get better without it but it's great to hear a first hand experience of it actually working out. Couldn't have watched this at a better time man.
As someone who quit for years and his finally started again, i can tell you smoking in moderation beats being sober all the time.
i just switched to smoking in the am with a coffee or after breakfast and smoke like a hour before i sleep works the best for me u also save alot of money trust
You are literally using the worst moments to smoke dude, you are high all day with that routine. If you want to moderate it's right in the middle, first get things donde, when the sun hides, there you smoke! to close to going to bed is bad idea...@@dbgetsblocks9713
Bro I just came across this video last night and it was truly inspiring. I’ve been trying to quit for the past year now, and have failed terribly. Basically going to the same cycles as you did but I am determined to win this fight because I know life is so much better when I’m not high all the time. Thank you for sharing.
It's been 4 months, how's it going??
@@s_phamandla.he started smoking again the day after this video.
mahn I've watched this and finished just now and tbh your just speaking a lot of facts, been wanting to quit this herb ever since last year at around October but eventually keep on running back after 3 days cause of the availability this popped up on my feed and i knew i had to watch it I'm 2 days free right now and I'm honestly just tired of smoking it as I'm always regretting right after i consume thank you for the encouragement wholeheartedly cant wait to see what the other side is like I'm officially done as its always affecting my everyday life, thank you again!!
man you have no idea how this video has done nothing more but encourage me to quit this herb to see that it can actually be done and your genuinely happy wherever you are amazing bro!
01/18/2024
i trust and pray ill be back with nothing but the best news after 365/365 !!
I am a serial quitter and I agree with everything you said in this video. Every time I go back I feel like a loser. It feels so good when I'm "clean" because I'm respecting myself. Thank you!

Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $500k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.

Took the words out of my mouth on this one Jordan. I have my own business and warehouse all at the age of 18, but ive been smoking non stop since the age of 14. Weed is legal in my state and their is dispo's on every corner. I have built a whole company from the ground up andd many people would say its a very successful company, espicially for my age and I have did all this while high. Every night I tell myself I need to quite but I just cant stop. This video really did help me in realizing im not alone so I really apprecieate you for making this. I need to quit this shit so I can build my company even higher to the places I know I can take it, and your video for me proved that its possible. Thank you Jordan for making this piece of content ❤
Hey man do you have socials? Would love to connect business and warehouse at 18 is inspiring
Self discipline bro. Just like being obese, you can limit your sugar intake and loose weight.
@@TheNewAgeCEO I dont, social media hasn't been my thing so I stay off it mainly. I appreciate it though bro. I started a Amazon Private Label company about 2 years ago and ever since then it hasnt been nothing less of amazing.
And parents money,otherwise what business and why a warehouse what for my guy
@@dmd4492bro can you help me on that please i pay nice🙏🏾🙏🏾
Proud of you man!! I so dearly want to be sober, and see where my future ends up because of it. I’ve spent over 10 years of my life smoking weed, and I know deep down that there is more to me than this. Your video is an inspiration!
I really appreciate this story.. I started pretty much like you then graduated to smoking 2-4 woods a day. Money was never the issue but I was no longer enjoying the process. It became more like chore. I been clean for a week now🎉 These videos/comments from others really help out a lot.
I started smoking Marijuana since my teenage. Got addicted to heroin for over 8 years. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment actually saved my life. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine,alcohol and cigarettes.And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need!
I'm very sure of Dr.benshrooms
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus.
I hate that psilocybin gets grouped with drugs like cocaine and heroin. Mushrooms are a remedy, not a vice!
I read in a book that in order to stop a bad habit you have to replace it with good habits. I think a key point was that on the time you were actually able to stop weed it probably helped you started going hiking, playing basketball, etc. it’s not just stop doing weed but is super important you replace it with goos and healthy habits
Man, this video really resonates with me. Seeing someone talk about their journey without weed hits differently, especially when it mirrors your own experience. Props to you for sharing your story, it's inspiring to hear how ditching the smoke has led to such a positive transformation. Here's to all of us finding our natural highs and living our best lives, one sober day at a time! Cheers to clarity and embracing the beauty of life
This video describes my entire experience. Moving out when I was 17. No matter what I tried to do to escape, I continued finding myself in the environment. Either it was around or people were around smoking - so accessible. Choosing to move states, and be in an area it’s not accessible is an amazing choice. Thank you so much for this video
Big man , I stopped about 2 months ago and everything you said in this video is 100% the true and it just motivated me to work harder towards my dreams
Great video. Weed has been way too normalized in recent years
Well for some people it's actually needed it's healthier than putting someone on the medication I should know personally.
struggling with it rn... kills motivation completely for me now.
@JustMalcolm914 no its not, it's called eating super clean, fasting, and exercising. Weed will never heal anything, just suppress crap temporarily
@@guacfiendgotta reward yourself with it...can't be the first or second thing you do when you wake up. I had to learn that...wake up and do what's NEEDED so you can do what you want.
@@guacfiendgotta work out n find the right balance
Everyday I learn a little bit more about myself. The quality of happiness depends on how well I understand myself. Everything that distracts me from learning about myself is holding back this pure bliss.
I really appreciate you making this video man today is my 2nd day being sober and it’s hard but I’m going to push through it , I wish everybody good luck !🙏
I’m now 3 1/2 weeks sober and not going back until I know I won’t stick on it again. It’s been very hard to not but it’s getting me the life I need. And your video made me see it all so clearer! Well done!
Das how bro continue this journey I pray u don’t come back
Mad respect for posting such a transparent video bro. I know this one has been on your mind for a long time. I once saw you tweet “weed has taken away so many men’s full potential.” In that moment I knew you had smoked and you were getting over it, knew it was a matter of time until you spoke about it publicly. You are right though, the ability to maximize your potential when sober is unmatched. ❤
"... because without smoking, I've been forced to find all my joy and fulfillment through the journey of becoming a better man."
Your experience with weed is almost identical to mine (at least in regards to the amount and timeline). I'm in the process of quitting now, and it's been tough. This quote you said resonated with me and motivates me more than anything I've heard on the subject though. It's just so true. With weed, you can be in a shitty place, and slowly be getting worse, but still feel content, until one day things get so bad you're forced to face them. Best to quit before hitting rock bottom.
So much truth here. I have quit and have struggled. When sober, music isn’t as fun but it’s good to have my brain back. Points about the first month, dreams and staying busy are spot on. Thanks for posting.
Woke up this morning feeling brand new, I’m going to try my hardest to put the weed down, I’ve always known it’s my downfall just been in denial, thanks for producing great content, valuable advice and information to help me on my journey to success💪🏽
Really hit home for me. I've been smoking for 8+ years and for a while now I've been at that stage you mentioned where I know I want to stop. My family all smoke and its completely normalized in my house. I've tried to quit multiple times but always end up back in bed, smoking and watching TV like nothing happened.
It feels like it's almost a part of myself at this point. When I try and quit, day to day life almost feels alien to me. I get easily frustrated with everything, my anxiety seems to get turned up to 11 and all I can think about is smoking.
This video has made me look at quitting a little bit differently as all the things you spoke about felt very familiar. I think I'm gonna give quitting another go very soon as it seems to have really positively affected your life and your headspace. I've never managed to make it out of that first month of quitting so that's something I'll aim for this time around.
Thank you for making the video, it's good knowing that these aren't things that only I'm experiencing.
Read this book called Atomic Habits. It’ll help you create good habits that might help you create a path to quitting for good.
I'm trying to quit smoking and drinking I've been heavily doing both for years videos like this are giving me the motivation to keep at it
Bro your story is eerily identical to mine right now. I quit for 6 months back in January 2023 and then went on a trip with friends after graduation and had the same exact thoughts as you, the deserving feelingand also thinking you can handle it again. Took only two weeks until I was back to buying weekly. Smoked for a month and then couldnt handle it anymore, went sober up until December and then I began smoking daily again
i never smoked my entire life but last year i decided to start and it has been the best year of my life. I've met new friends, gone outside more, had 50% less anxiety than before and overall am in a better mood usually.
Everything in moderation.
you control it until it controls you
same, i think it may have something to do with when you start. I didn't start until after I left the military, and I was 26. Maybe its because my brain was fully developed or something like that. Don't really think its good to start really young for sure. It helps with my anxiety, PTSD, and most surprisingly, my ADHD. Don't really hear people talking about it helping with their ADHD, and I kind of figured that out by accident, but my chores are done for the first time in my life every day and I'm not embarrassed of my room or car anymore.
Yes, this video feels a bit one-sided. Unfortunately, it doesn't go into how many people have been massively helped by the consumption of weed. On the other hand, you should of course be a bit careful if you only consume it for pleasure. It's like everything in life: too much of one thing is usually not healthy.
@@vitinho14461that means you’re weak
Thank you so much for this man. There are so many parallels that I feel. I'm about 3 weeks out from both weed and video games and still in the doubt stage so this really meant a lot.
Your recollection of all the stages is seriously invaluable. I'm tired of always being tired, not sleeping well, feeling like I'm stagnating, and not getting out of the house.
I want to do more and be more, and the comfort of weed is so much easier than the fear of change.. but I'm not living. I'll see you on the other side, would love to meet you one day. Keep killing it brother 🤜🤛
Weed was never my thing but I used to be a big time alcoholic. I just hit 6 months clean and i've been kind of down and bored lately but that's because I haven't been doing enough to work on me and my goals. I got a lot out of this! Thanks Jordan! First time seeing one of your videos but I hit the subscribe button.
Honestly, this summarized how it feels. Your motivating me to keep at it and stay sober. Thank you for this.
Weed opened a door in my life i still can’t close. It makes reality seem inferior. Once the threshold of ignorance is peeled, trauma leaks through and euphoria becomes the escape. The higher you get, the harder you crash after every trip.
The second threshold is crossed when you realise that it’s the actual problem. Then the internal war begins. Some have conquered, none have failed, goodluck on your fight. 🙏
well said
God Bless.. I'm going to give it another shot, been smoking since 13 Years old and now I'm 29.. :(
That was very inspirational ! Stay Strong Brother
My man is the most trustworthy guy for me. Thanks man
“Because THIS TIME, I felt I could handle it” ……my life bro
I’ve been sober for a month, and I’m dying!!
Everything is boring af literally EVERYTHING! I don’t find purpose in life anymore.
My head hurts, my stomach hurts, I have chills, I can’t sleep for nothing! Not even melatonin pills help me.
If I try to sleep seems like I’m sleeping but I’m awake at the same time. I don’t rest.
Mi life sucks now, I’m depressed, anxious, moody, my family hates me they say I was happier when I smoked they say I look like a homeless now, I try to change and I can’t.
I just hate this and idk why I stopped in the first place I just decided to try it out not smoking and it’s not going well.
When I smoked I had motivation to workout, prep my meals, I used to go out, fishing, travel etc, now I’m just home, I’m my room, laying down (after work) not wanting to go out or have fun, I don’t cook anymore, I cancelled my gym membership cuz is just boring.
My life is a disaster now. I don’t believe those people that say. “I stopped smoking and I have energy im new man, I’m happier BS!!” Is not all that ITS WORSE!!!!!!
You still sober bro? I understand where you’re coming from but something you need to understand is that the reason you feel this way is because weed has absolutely engrained itself into the physiology of your mind. It has become the definition of a dependency. Without it life is just worse. That is a substance that you are dependent on to live what you now define as “normally” I smoked straight wax every day for a year and it took me months to actually feel like I wanted to be sober. Most of that time is just you going through straight up withdrawals from something you used to have whenever you wanted it. You will feel happy and excited again. Most of all you will feel free. Free to be at peace in your own body without the need for outside stimulation. It’s a super tough road and I think it’s awesome that you tried to begin with. I’m not against weed even in my own life but it needs to be a special experience. Not just your regular way of being or it loses its sparkle over time. No matter what good luck with what you choose and sometimes learning that something isn’t for you is just as valuable as finding out you love something. Peace.
@@anytimetown6214 im sober 3 months almost. Anhedonia is still here I’m a walking zombie without emotions. I’m depressed and sad all the time. Anxiety and insomnia are gone now but depression is worse day by day. I keep quitting jobs for no reason, I keep avoiding people and being in a horrible mood daily.
I miss weed still, I was about to buy some today but I said no no no. Even tho I need it I don’t miss it, it’s just want I feel blank and like I’m not here. I reeked therapy for a month didn’t work Dr gave me antidepressants and didn’t help I got worse developed suicidal thoughts due to antidepressants so Dr discontinued them.
And now I’m here over weight (when I smoke I was skinny) sad lonely and miserable.
Friends annoy me and I just wanna be alone and die soon
DAMN this is what I needed to hear, everything has fallen apart and ive been wondering what the problem is for years and ive realized now I use it to run from my problems and opportunities im for sure doing this just to see how life treats me because ive really been going thru it and all I do is smoke to cope with my problems but now im going to face them instead of running from them because were all growing to be adults not children we need to find how to control ourselves and solve the problems because shit these have been the worst couple years of my life, I pray all of yall that are like this succeed as well even if your not I hope all of you succeed, were all going to have our goals achieved one day it just takes a strong and commited mindset.
First of all I can't remember the last time where I completed a video on UA-cam without moving my mouse to check where I'm at and how much is left of it and I really enjoy watching longer vids, your narration is really on point. Besides that, I am no way near an addict (I smoke maybe once every couple months or so with friends), but GOD did this video motivate me and reminded me that if I'm not struggling towards a change then chances are I will never reach it, and lastly it is seriously impressive to go a year without smoke considering the amount you used to consume mad respect for that, it seems to me that the very first time you felt like quitting which started that cycle of going on and off is what allowed this to happen in the first place, even if you ended up going back to gas multiple times afterwards, it's that small initiative you took that probably made it clear to you that you do recognize that it's a problem which is the main step to recovery. So yeah no matter for how long you've kept that cycle going it is always an active form of you facing the problem so you should also be proud of that phase, it should be a constant reminder that you were constantly making efforts to battle that dependency no matter how inconsistent it may have looked.
same here man
One of the best videos I’ve ever scene on this topic. This has been an ongoing thing for me. Everything you said and felt is the same exact I feel and say. It’s crazy how we know what it’s doing to us but it’s so hard to break from.
Sending love your way my boy. This is just addiction in general. I suffered through a vaping addiction since I was 16 (23 now) but I’m one month sober again and I really feel good about this time. I haven’t felt so positive like this without one in my hand for a long time.
Shoutout anyone that struggles with any sort of addiction and is really trying to work through it.
nic is the devil man. ive been sober for 3 years off weed no problem but i started vaping in 2019 and quit on and off until 3 months ago. now ive been sober from nic for 3 months i gotta tell you that shits the devil. i finally got control over myself to not buy it but when someone is vaping around me it takes 95% of my concentration to not ask for it.
Congrats man I’m 3 years sober this month. It was a struggle but I’m glad I got rid of it big ups!
Im so glad I came across this video! I used to LOVE smoking my teenage years and when I do it now I feel like it’s wrong. But something always seems to have me come back this is my SIGN thanks!!!
Thanks, man - I really needed to hear this. I've been smoking for about 10ish years and decided to give it up. Looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel
Glad I stumbled upon this video. I stopped smoking a little over a year ago, but have started to get more and more cravings recently. As I was watching your video it reminded me why I stopped. You nailed this one on the head frfr.
This is the most accurate video I’ve seen about how it’s been for me after quitting weed💯
I started smoking at 13. Would smoke gas DAILY and 9 months ago I quit cold turkey.
I really feel like myself
Really feel more confident in my conversations
Have less anxiety
More present in the moment
It’s real! Things aren’t perfect but it’s really forcing yourself to use your natural organic brain power and it goes to show that you don’t need anything other than yourself to bring the best out💯💯💯
How old r u now

15 minutes and 20 seconds of pure wisdom. You are wise beyond your years sir. That was truly inspiring.
this genuine transparency and authenticity is what youtube needs. Please hit more videos like this brother! proud of you 👌
I feel way better since quitting, like you said the mental clarity and sleep feels amazing now. I do get cravings but after 2 weeks I feel like you'll start to be able to challenge those cravings a lot harder cause you don't want to fall back into it and lose what you're gaining from sobriety
I needed this video brodie. Im 39 and i been smoking for 20 years. I quit on the first of this month
I started smoking weed when I was 13 till i was 18 it ended up from weekly to everyday thing then i found the courage to stop and it lasted 2 and a half years im 21 now and i found my self smoking again and you are right those two years were the best years of my life. But the journey isn't over Thanks for this video We can all do it.
smoke recreationally, and instead rolling joints for throughout the day, get a small bong and take small hits, rather than a whole J
I’m not gonna lie I’ve never heard such a realistic perspective on this. Weed is the one thing in my life that’s been hindering me from true success, but yet I still go back to it despite knowing that I would be better off leaving it alone. It’s been the only thing I’ve known for about 3 years, and for perspective I’m only 16 so the effects on my brain processing has definitely been affected (way more than I would like to admit). Thank you for sharing this because it’s motivating to see someone else in your exact same situation completely change the course of their lives, and just to know it’s possible gives a driving factor than I honestly can’t thank you enough for Jordan.
Hey bud 25 year old Alex here if you can curb it now do that, and don’t drink not worth it .
Yea man I feel you, but only with God we can overcome this
start going to the gym. get a part tym job.
That's a very nice story and i'm proud of you. I have smoking for 6-7 years, and today is my second day without it, your video has inspired me. I'm almost back to my normal state of being. I smoke like a microdosing, 1g was enough for 1 month almost, but anyways i feel the same. I wish to any stoner to wake up and start to feel the real life, i will update on my journey of being clear. GL for everyone. We can do it!
Thank you, brother!You gave me hope.It’s my second time trying to quit, last time I got back again after a month.I’m currently in my 2nd week sober and it’s so damn hard. I felt every word you said, it’s exactly my situation.Greetings from Romania!
This is the most real thing I’ve seen in a while. Congrats!
