Yea weed really hurts u more than u realize it. I smoked for 4 years str8. Went from a really outgoing person to having social anxiety, being dull, not wanting to really spend time with anyone unless we smoked, and gained terrible habits. I didn’t know why I became the way I did bc I knew some very social confident people who smoked more than me. But everybody is different. For some people (most likely you), weed can really suppress energy levels needed to achieve goals and keep you from being passionate. Stop the pot bro. Trust me
Thanks for sharing, YungShiner. I feel you 100. Humans have so much natural energy and weed definitely takes that away. and that social anxiety was crippling. Thankfulness that the social skills come back after some time off.
Hi I really agree with you thank you for sharing even the withdrawals it's been 90 days now I just want to be alone and withdraw I don't miss the smoking for the feeling of being high just having trouble sleeping nights and suffering lots of anxiety .
Everything you said is exactly what happened to me after smoking for 4 years so I’m glad people are being transparent about this shit because a few years ago people were just calling it a fun plant to smoke but now I’m fucked up and experience the worst withdrawal symptoms and I also felt like I changed a lot like the things you listed. I only quit for two days and I swear I’m going through hell right now with all the withdrawal symptoms :(
I smoked every day in December and only went to the gym 4 times (average time: 25 minutes). I quit this January, and I've gone to the gym 22 times (out of 33 days so far this year) for an hour each time. The extra energy is real!
I just quit smoking weed . I started as a teenager , and now I'm 57 . I'm having a Big fight with myself right now . All I have to do is go to the corner and buy some weed . I want it bad , at the same time , I don't want it .
Weed really messed me up. I went from being a bodybuilder, homeowner, and having multiple income streams, to chubby, lazy, broke and nearly losing my house. I'm not saying weed was 100% responsible for all that, but I don't think it would have been nearly as bad without it. I quit, feel fantastic and am working on regaining what I once had. Seriously guys, rethink smoking every day.
Thanks for sharing quagmire. Glad to hear your back on track and getting your life back together. It’s inspiring. Let me know if you ever want to come on the channel for an interview. I’m sure people would get great value from your story
I had been a daily smoker for the past few years, and it got worst once I started working from home last year. I haven't smoke weed in 5 days because I decided to quit cold turkey. I threw away my stash. Already, I have started sleeping better, I'm not stuffing my face with junk food every 5 minutes, I have started exercising (using VR lol) and the negative thoughts have dropped drastically. I didn't realize how hopeless I felt on weed, but now I have plans and goals that I am going to achieve. This is one of the best decisions that I have made for myself. Weed is cool, but perhaps it's just not for me anymore.
Let's go, Shanti. That's awesome to hear. Congrats on making those life decisions, i bet that took a lot of courage. Life only gets better from here. Look forward to hearing about your progress going forward and thank you for supporting the video and channel.
Congrats! How you feeling now, 3 weeks later? I also see those benefits whenever I stop. I quit for 2 months after 10 years of smoking daily and it changed me COMPLETELY. I felt like the man I used to be before when I was a kid. Since I been smoking since 14, I forgot what my actual self was like. Less anxiety, depression, ability to communicate, more energy. Too many benefits and it’s crazy how that habit just sticks to us for so many years
@@Jetsfoo305 I'm still holding up and I do not miss it at all! I feel great, I don't feel so hopeless anymore, I'm even interviewing with new companies. I'm ready to progress in my career and financial status. This is something that I would not have done, while getting high everyday. Overall, I'm feeling much better! Congrats to you as well. Giving up THC after daily use is not easy, but we are doing it!
This is truly how I feel I quit as of yesterday … I just feel like it’s about that time to give it Up. I’ve become such a dull person, my passions are fading , I never dealt with anxiety and negative thoughts until a year ago and it’s just getting worst. It’s sad I tried to fix and try everything to feel better but I never thought that it was the weed … so I’m dedicating this myself to stop and never look back hopefully this changes things and I get back to life
Update! Since I posted this I’m still sober and I have been feeling a lot better though some days are still a challenge it’s nothing compare to before. I actually found a new career making 50k and doing great where as before my ambition was tainted. I haven’t even had the urge to smoke. My anxiety is a working progress but from a 10 to now I would say a 4 sometime a 1. This is just my experience and story. I’m not speaking for anyone but myself but I quit cold turkey and it’s all a mental thing. Because it’s definitely possible. For anyone reading this keep your head up it will get better just trust yourself and believe in everything you want for yourself.
I smoke because I like the high and boredom, but it held me back and I know what I need to do/want so sacrificing weed is just a step closer to achieving my goals. I used to smoke everyday, all day. I didn’t realize that I was in the process of losing myself until I started working on myself.
Weed is bad we lose our ability to dream and dreams are necessary to all humans, it kills motivation, you start to think you are clever than you actually are... No clarity, you're heavy headed, it holds you down no plan, no achievement all you want is to keep smoking smoking....anti social... Etc
haha amen brother. I was so delusional. Thought I was creating Mozart level music, then wondered why no body ever moved their head when I played it for them.
I’m telling you guys honestly most of weed smokers want to quit but they are addicted, even seemingly the most productive stoners I know would open up to me how they want to quit but cannot… don’t believe the hype.
I know. I'm 1 month clean (after 14 years of smoking) and throughout the years, even the most productive stoners I know have stated that they wished they never started smoking. Admittedly, weed is only fun when you just started smoking. When your body gets accustomed to weed, it feels like a chore rather than something to enjoy.
Cannabis definitely gave me really bad urges to binge eat, which made me feel out of control. In the begining it was a lot easier to make myself be productive when I was high, but then I reached a point where all I wanted to do was eat, smoke, and watch tv all day long. I was bored all of the time, but I felt no motivation to do anything. It was a very addictive and vicious cycle for me, smoking out of boredom and then realizing I was bored because I smoked too much. There was too much binging in general, with the smoking, eating, and watching tv, which were obviously not healthy. Smoking pot no longer feels beneficial or fun to me anymore. It just feels like a chore and it makes me feel like a boring person. I was smoking so heavily to the point that I was experiencing anhedonia from the pot itself. I'm so ready to break this bad habit of mine.
Well said, that exactly describes the using cycle. As painful as it may be to realized this, it’s great you are because that says to me you’re ready for change. Stay in touch with your progress
Thank You for this video!! May God Bless You 🕊 To anyone overcoming addiction please believe in yourself. You have the power within you all you have to do is try, you got this!
Hey bro, very nice tips, I just quit a month ago and after 2 weeks after almost 5 years nonstop I started to feel the difference in my energy and memory. I had to go through a very bad trip to see that weed was not helping me in any aspect in life but with my anxiety problems ( that I am fixing with daily exercise ). Great video!
Day one today. and I feel so proud of myself. I recently realized Weed has really taken my energy away and my motivation Weed makes you procrastinate some of the most important things in life.. Also it messed up my social skills.
Congrats, Dennis! that's awesome to hear, well done. I feel you, time just seems to slip by. The social anxiety was enough to want to quit, thankfulness that goes away over time
i actually am pretty active on weed , but for me the financial drain is actually making my life as an whole a lot worst , that and someone i loved and lost in the past , i realized i lost her because my actions showed her that i loved weed more than her , and that in my current path i would not be able to be a respectable and stable companion because of that she had to move on and she became a successful woman , that was 6 years ago , and only now i came to my senses , i will probably never get her back , but i wish to become someone even someone as successful as her can respect since i still love her i would hate for her to see me slow motion suicide with cigarettes and weed and look disappointed , and for that both have to go. regret costs more than the withdrawal symptoms i wish you the best of luck and stay strong get out there and take your shadow out of the drivers seat and put the real you on the wheel instead , i know you will not regret it . stay clean and so shall i .
The wife said...if we quiet smoking weed we can buy a side by side...Soo I'm going on day 3 with no weed but I do have a sweet yxz 1000 in the garage now!
I smoked for 20 euro's in average everyday for the last 8 years. Did a lot of stupid shit for a little money sometimes. 23 now, and i wanna quit. Both my parents died, my mom 7 months ago. I am afraid that i cant handle being sober and dealing with this. Also, we dont have dealers in the netherlands. We have coffeeshops where you buy your weed. This story isn't going anywhere actually. But i quit since yesterday so my head is al over the place.
I wanna stop but boredom keeps me on it, makes me binge eat alot with munchies i get. Was spending around 100 euro a week and buying home food deliveries. Its shocking to know that since october last year i spend more than 2000 on this drug😵. Im tired of this shit it keeps me paranoid, it messes with my sleep on the days i dont smoke and i use to workout 5-6 times a week but after corona came smoking became a priority and now im stuck on it
I feel you Ju, it can be difficult to change habits. Sounds like you're on the verge of a breakthrough. When I get so sick and tired of being sick and tired, THAT'S when I'm finally able to make the change and become willing to go through the temporary pain for the long term peace. Wishing you success and courage JuWo.
I’m The same. I find cooking good food, reading mind opening books and video games have helped. Also just going out and socialising with friends who I always used to chill with. Also when I feel the urge to get it I realise that the effort it takes to get it and roll it etc just makes it not worth it. Also try meditating. I thought it was all rubbish but it does help a bit. Go for walks also this helps
Screw all the people criticizing this video! If you don’t have a problem with weed, good for you, but for people like me, I have psychosis that is seriously awakened by the consumption of marijuana. My personal hypothesis is, already nervous/neurotic people probably shouldn’t consume it in excess, or at all. And definitely be very wary of edibles.
Yeah man! I stopped yesterday the first time in about 2 years from smoking everyday. The sleep was incredible, 100% agreed. And the dreams were flowing like crazy
I’m on day 2 , been smoking for 10 years. I’m 27 and a mom, and I haven’t done anything in my life but be a mom. I want more entertainment and motivation, I’m done with the feeling. I don’t think I even get high anymore. I’m doing this for a better life, wish me luck
REM sleep is responsible for organizing thoughts that happened through out the day/ in general. So if ur smoking weed to help u sleep( which disrupts rem sleep) , that’s probably the reason why u might not feel rested when u wake up. Also ur body makes its own endocannabanoid receptors which is responsible for mood and memory, so when the thc receptors that u smoke very frequently bind to the endocannibanoids in ur brain. Your brain stops making its own and over time u become dependent which is what’s happening when u start to gain a tolerance
Amazing video man! Watching videos like this this to help me stay motivated going cold turkey after 5 years of smoking multiple times everyday. Today is day 3 and the one thing i can say is man does it feel good to dream again, and its dream after dream after dream constantly flowing. My sleep is actual sleep for once even though it can be hard to fall asleep and i haven’t been able to eat barley anything, I’m very exited to see where quitting takes me in the following days, and I’m glad theres so many people that feel the same way and are going through the same feeling of needing to just quit for once. Good luck to everyone quitting, stay strong day 5-7 are statistically the hardest to get through but after 28 days those cannabinoid receptors are completely reset, you can do it!!!
Thanks, Justin! so happy to hear you got value from it and thank you for watching. congrats on day three, that's a huge accomplishment! that's awesome your sleeps kicking back in, I felt so much relief when I started to have dreams again. Had some trippy ones the last few nights! I feel you on the food thing, it took a minute to wanna eat again. Wishing you a steady appetite and thanks for your kind words to all those on this journey with us!
I love marijuana but after being sober for 2 months I really do feel sharper. To me marijuana is a double edged sword just like any vice. Most people don't realize it but they become addicted. Sure not physically but psychologically. I seen marijuana really ruin some lives. Alot of people are just not mature enough to handle it. My closest friends are stoners and slowly their dropping the joint. We all have come to the agreement that we will be hitting 30 soon and we need to grow up. My mind now is calm and at ease I don't feel the need to get high to fall asleep. Not to mention my eating habits turned into regular instead of irregular. I'm no longer getting hungry at 3 am and pigging out.
Amen to that brother. I resonate with the double edge sword analogy, it totally is. Super glad to hear you’re doing better and seeing the benefits. 2 months (probably 3 now) is huge. Thanks for commenting and keep it up, gray!
even though it hurts my pride i must admit you are rigth about the maturity , it feels to me that im avoiding life by indulging in weed and other habits that even though not drugs are just fast dopamine rushes that i take instead of going for what my heath really wants , the time i lost i can't get back but i will try anyway.
congrats man! that's a big step. I feel you there, sleeping and eating and eating was challenging at first, got much easier and back to baseline after a couple weeks
I was a chronic smoker for 25 years I quit about 60 days ago I cannot sleep I eat okay but just about half as much as I did on weed still have low energy irritable and angry that's why I'm on here to find what the answers are I thought it was benefit to quit smoking weed on average I smoke 3 grams a day can anyone help sometimes I wonder if I went to a low CBD I could probably sleep I was a smoker of hi-thc
Dam thank you so much for making the video. I really needed to see this. I'm on my 3rd day of not smoking and I feel embarrassed how much it really hurts not to smoke. I'm scared I did something permanent to my brain. But watching videos like this really helps. I can relate to everything you said. I found it very funny when you talked about the munchies. I was thinking "holy shit I only ate twice today" and was really worried at first 😅.
You're welcome, Oscar. Congrats on 3 days, that's a big step. I totally feel you, I felt that fear of permanent damage too, however once dopamine and serotonin levels reset I realized it was only a brain chemical rebalancing issue. HA thank god our appetite comes back, life without enjoying food would be rough! Glad you found the video and that it helped you, stay in touch with your progress!
I’m 4 days in. I’ve gotten about 6 hours of sleep in that time period. I feel like shit. My heart rate is irregular. I lost my appetite. But I got this. I owe it to my family and my friends to be the best version of me and pot isn’t helping me get there. I did this to myself and only I can fix it. Thanks for the upload man this was really helpful!
You're welcome, Tony! that's so great to hear you're on the path and committed, you got this! I know those first few days are rough, thankfully it get's easier after that. I wanna hear about your progress, keep us posted!
@@SobrietyUniversity Thanks for taking the time to respond. Your absolutely right it gets easier day by day. I’m sleeping much better (not waking up throughout the night) and my appetite is slowly returning to normal. It really helps having a good support system and the knowledge that there are real benefits to not smoking. I’m finally for the first time in almost 9 years feeling like myself again. Thank you for the reassurance, it really does mean a great deal to me!
Yeah weed has its pro’s and con’s but dammit I love being skinny from smoking weed, I’ve never been skinny before. I actually have boundless energy and I feel happy 😃.
I don't really relate much to what people say here and on other videos like lack of motivation and eating junk food and such i do none of that while stoned. My favorite is actually working out while high and reading :D But i decided to stop weed at least for a while because i have been doing it for 17 years. I always consumed in low doses and only got high once per day at most, But it has been a really long time since i was sober for more than a 1 day straight so i wanna see if i have problem quitting and i want to see for myself if my cognitive ability's will increase.
My exact experience. Weed motivates me to workout, bike ride and be a lot more social. The complete opposite of all the things I heard in this video. Just stopping momentarily for the challenge.
This is just my opinion when using any substances. You have to really examine why you are using it in the first place. If it is to escape or avoid dealing with life, then it's an abusive relationship. The substance could be anything food, drugs, tv, or video games. Towards the end of my weed smoking, I noticed i had to convince myself that my relationship with weed was fine when deep down I knew it wasn't.
Been smoking everyday about a gram sometimes more for 8 years I don’t even wanna think about the money I smoked away 🥲 I quit for one month a couple years ago and that’s it haven’t been able to even do a day since then. Keep telling myself that’s it no more then find myself calling my dealer without even thinking twice. Smoking my last joint right now and that’s it from tomorrow I will quit, after this video popped up I was like that’s it. Your videos really help thank you 😊
I'm so glad to hear you're recommitting to quitting pot! Congratulations, making the decision to do so is huge step. I can totally relate to that, making promises day after day only to find a J in the hand the next. Stay in touch and look forward to hearing about your progress!
@@Exxperiment626 I have to admit I caved and smoked that night, but I’m now on day 2 of not smoking and I’m sticking to it. How are you doing, how was your first day and the week since your comment? 💪 you got this. The cold sweats and no appetite is where I’m at right now haha it sucks but not as much as how I was feeling abusing it. Your comment actually helped me hold myself accountable so thank you, I didn’t wanna reply when I was continuing to smoke I felt embarrassed and disappointed and I kept in my mind I will do it then I can reply. I know it’s only day 2 but I feel very proud of myself.
@@SobrietyUniversity day 2 and proud! Thank you for your videos they are extremely useful, I felt so alone in this before and don’t think I would be on day 2 if it wasn’t for your video’s honestly. 😊 whenever my brain tells me I want to smoke I just keep reminding myself how I felt the last time I smoked, it seems to be working very well, simple yet so effective.
If you want to be sober or not, it all depends on choices. These are your experiences. Not benefits. Even sober people are lazy and unmotivated. Don't blame cannabis for your lack of will power. P.S. if you like smoking and not buying it, Grow it. It is a plant after all
Eddy, you clearly didn’t watch the video, or you chose to ignore the fact that marijuana messes with your sleep cycle. Yes, some sober people are lazy and unmotivated, but those who smoke marijuana are bound to be less motivated than the average person since we get less sleep.
@@sophiamacc Everyone has an opinion. Facts are I smoke through out the day. I'm highly motivated, and I'm up by 6 ready to start my day. I never lack energy, and I've been smoking cannabis 10 years. There's nothing wrong with being sober. However there is something wrong with not taking responsibility over your own actions. Smoking didn't make you lazy enough to not go to work or etc. Your mentality did. Blaming cannabis is childish. It takes from the Strive of people who work hard so they can live a lifestyle that seems fit to them. Once again I reiterate being sober isn't bad. Neither is smoking cannabis.
This is true, I'm used to be a daily smoker at university and now I smoke like few times a week and I'm somewhat successful and very active, when it comes to work and business my mind and energy is being put into a different mode and when I smoke on the weekends it's just a nice break. But saying this, as I get older it hits me harder so I wanna smoke occasionally.
Congrats, Andrew! that's awesome to hear. those first few days are the toughest forsure. Keep up the great work and if you ever think you would like some additional 1-on-1 support, reach out anytime. sobriety-university.com/sobriety-coaching
I definitely weaned off you said an 8th a day? I'm doing good at a week and a quarter every two weeks. I'm almost over it plan is one 8th a month which top tier runs $30-40 here, so that's not bad until I'm completely done which I plan on the capsules for sleep and eating don't want to waste away and or not hydrated plenty of electrolytes and monohydrate with green tea for detox along with tech detox kill old habits stay healthy everyone.
Awesome video, thanks! I kinda wish I had the money issue to motivate me but I spend nothing on it and will gain nothing financially from quitting and I feel like that's making it even more difficult. I'm down to a gram or 2 per week but I'm having such a time stopping bc I have an endless, free supply from the farms I used to work at🤦♀️ what I thought was a blessing has turned into a curse and I feel like it's the universe testing my will lol I'm 20 years in and it blows my mind that people say it's not addictive bc I'm addicted in every way a person could be. Quitting coke, cigs, Adderall, benzos and pain killers was a walk in the park compared to ganja!
You’re welcome. Yes that definitely sounds like an obstacle. It’s gonna take a tremendous amount of willpower and discipline, however if you quit all those addictions before I bet you can do it. If you are considering any 1-on-1 support, I do offer coaching. If interested fill out this application: sobrietyuniversity.wufoo.com/forms/rq60pga04f2rdm/ and I’ll be in touch with you. Otherwise keep us posted with your progress, you got this.
I keep watching these videos but not quitting. I even watch them high sometimes. I'm just so depressed and weed fills the void for just a second but I am also poor so weed is tearing at my funds
Thank you for sharing. Quitting weed is not an easy task. It takes lots of discipline and willingness to experience pain. When I was quitting, I really had to face the truth that everyday I don’t quit is another day from my life gone that I’ll never get back. That fear pushed me to finally say enough is enough.
@@SobrietyUniversitythis comment just hit me bro. "Every day I don't quit is another day from my life gone that I'll never get back." I'll be remembering this. Thank you. And thanks for the work you do! Blessings from London
congrats on 2 weeks bro, that's huge. sorry to hear about your blood pressure, sounds like the bodies readjusting life without weed. let us know when the BP drops and if anything you did helped
@@SobrietyUniversity thank you brother will keep you posted thanks for the video reading all the comments I see you inspired a lot of people you are a true angel God bless
Biggest thing *SMOKING* cannanis did to me was destroying my motivation... switched to edibles, NIGHT and DAY difference... no more burning out and feeling empty...
I absolutely hate the withdrawals when I finish my supply from Colorado. As far as sleep goes, Marijuana makes me sleep for eight hours straight. An ounce lasts me three weeks. 32% THC where I go for my weed in Colorado 55.00 an ounce for good weed. I only buy twice a year. Marajuana definitely helps me with depression. Not to mention the great sex on Marajuana.
I quit on and off this time I’m done it’s been 2 months and again I feel great! You will sleep better overall, your appetite will come back normal, and you won’t be all stuck not wanting to do things or get things done. We all been there when we were young it’s different but when you get older it hits different. More power to all of you brothers, quitting we the best thing I did.
I was smoking weed last 15 years now I’m 1 month sober I’m scared to back even thinking about smoking weed gives me the chills. I was having lots of mental health issues. Since I quit I’m more focused.
Congrats Terry. It's good you're starting to address your mental health instead of cover it up with weed. It will be tough, yet transformative and you're future self with thank your present self for doing this
You're welcome, man. Thanks for watching. Agreed, takes a rare soul to be able to use it consistently. Costs hella dough. And speaking of dough, the munchies are unreal. Ronald McDonald definitely smokes the reefer
4 benefits of smoking weed ------------ shit dont matter anymore !! you can never relax this much without it !! gaming is amazing on weed !! yo mamma cant anoy you anymore !!
Do you have tons of energy now that you quit smoking weed? It only gave me munchies in the beginning, then I'd smoke a bowl to make the hunger go away if I was to lazy to go get food. For me, it kills any and all motivation.
tons of energy and it's all natural too, not synthetic anymore. it's like all the energy I had as a child when I never smoked and would run around and play all day has come back, a little slower of course. I feel you on those munchies, it's like the body becomes a bottomless pit.
I smoke weed in moderation 1 blunt every other week I’m still able to function and live my life when I don’t smoke I don’t have any withdrawals or cravings an ounce can last me almost 2-3 months
Imo this is the best way to approach it and you never develop a tolerance for it too. You don't need to smoke as much to get high which is great. I been 2 months sober and I know damn well if I smoke something I will be stoned af lol.
Smoked 18 to 22, had to quit for felony probation, then started immediately after i got off at age 24 and continued to smoke till last month. Im 30 now, at a month n a half clean now, no desire to smoke, but my fear is, did i permanently kill brain cells and potential?
That’s a great question. Congrats on choosing to get off it. I would say it’s probably unlikely your brain will ever be as good as it would have been had you never smoked ever, however you can definitely heal a great deal and eventually live life with weed as a distant memory if not a dream. I’ve had friends quit in their 40’s and live awesome lives.
Haha it was quite insane. I was dealing at the time so I thought I had tons of excess, however was really just getting high on the supply. I’m actually equally impressed you’re able to make an ounce last a month, that takes some discipline!
@@SobrietyUniversity haha btw love ur vids ive seen them all. For me I love my work so much that I don’t have enough time for weed and alcohol. I still do it but I prioritize work first and also can find myself getting lost in it in a good way which keeps me occupied. But I applaud the fact you can be 100% sober. The less you need the more you APPRECIATE.
@@Ervin1ma appreciate it brother. that's cool that you can dabble with it and not get swept away. I've noticed people either use it like you or get lost in it.
"@@hideckelrodriguez2497 "I know I will have more energy and sleep better. I just dont want to quit. I dont won't to wait for consequences either. "How you doing Hideckel? You went 7 days that is very good..
@@mariehillerman5579 Focus on exercise, keep doing things, keep ur time working bro u can do it. Think this: if u stop for idk maybe 2 weeks when u smoke again ur going to get high af and with less weed.
I was spending the equivalent of a nice Rolex or used Harley Davidson on weed every year. After 25 years it seems really stupid. Better late than never to quit I suppose
I like this video usually i don't like listening to these because it's my struggle but very nicely put the money and energy , as in energy i mean looking for the best bit of weed , going through people left right and centre, there's so much energy that goes into being an addict that we can use that energy to just make ourselves better :)
I guess we're all different. Been smoking regularly for the past 15yrs. Been eating clean the last 14yrs. Became a millionaire from a Blue Collar job and no side hustle. Walked away from 80 percent of toxic friendships and recently retired at age 56, all during smoking weed. Not advocating smoking, just sharing my experience. Best wishes to you all.
Yeah when I done weed for 32 years (🤡), I spent a fortune on glass bongs pipes and stuff related to it,I could have bought a house in the country honestly then waste it on that garbage 🗑
Garbage? Why do you have to be insulting like that? Just because something isn't for you doesn't mean it's bad. Marijuana has saved lives and help a lot of sick people including myself, so I wouldn't call something like that "garbage".
@@barrygiddey9139 Pretty sure the high from it is what helps with the problem. The euphoria, the relaxation, the apatite. It all comes from the high... I also see nothing wrong with just getting stoned either. It's not hurting anything. It's not the herbs fault that some people can't smoke and still be productive. I'm sorry, I suppose I just find this video and this whole comment section misinformed and offensive because I've been a marijuana activist for over 15 years and I feel like this whole thing is spouting misinformation and taking a big steaming shit on everything that people like myself has tried to accomplish. Everyone in the comments is talking about marijuana like it's meth or heroin and it's fucking absurd.
Could have bought a house in the country if you hadn't had those TV bills and phone bills either. The things we enjoy all cost money. Coffee cost money also. How marijuana is any different than any of the other extra things in life that I just mentioned? I figure life is too goddamn short to deprive oneself of the things they enjoy.
thanks for sharing, Lonewolf. I felt great fear of dreams at first too. Had lots of nightmares in childhood and did not want to face that. Stay in touch with your progress!
Been sleeping better on week 2. My appetite seems to be back to “normal”. Still dealing w being irritable, I usually go for a run and listen to music to try to relax.
Aw I feel you Cynthia, grief is one of the parts of letting go. I cried for about a year multiple times a week when I quit. And now I feel so light and free, it was well worth the money spent on Kleenex boxes. Stay in touch, I believe in you!
Thanks for sharing, man or woman. I feel you, life always requires sacrifice in some area. May the benefits you received from not smoking be awesome at least!
Great question, went in thinking I may be able to smoke later down the road, even saved a jar of weed in case. After 3ish months I noticed so many benefits that I decided to commit for life. Gave the jar to a friend which ended up being a bit of a ceremonial goodbye and haven't had the desire to use since
@@SobrietyUniversity Thanks for the response. I was really curious. I’ve been smoking for about 10 years and the last two years I’ve been taking increasingly longer breaks. But once the break is over and I start smoking again, before I know it, I’m back to daily smoking. I started another break on Monday but I’m considering to just saying goodbye forever. I agree that I see so many positive benefits when I stop smoking. Definitely outweighs the instant gratification of getting high. I really appreciate the video and the message. ❤️
@@kittygrowl839 You're welcome, that's awesome you've been able to have longer and longer breaks. That's huge progress. I'm a fan of taking things slow when quitting addiction, I'm working on one now and it's been a year and a half process. I get from anywhere between 5 - 19 days off at time and then relapse, however each time it's easier to get back on the horse. This video explains it more: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q8bgSI5eopQ.html Thanks for reaching out and supporting the channel. Been great chatting and keep in touch. You've got this weed thing in the bag!
The real dark truth is. If weed makes you lazy. You are just lazy. There is many people making it while smoking. What I do consider is to treat weed had its intended. Its a social drug like alcohol. If people where to consume it on a small or normal level there wouldn't be these issues.
Appreciate your thoughts, yung. Agreed, many people can live a great life on weed. This video is for those who have a desire to quit. Thanks for watching.
Actually thc makes you lazy first, then you have to be willing to fight against it and still get stuff done, is it possible to still be motivated after smoking? Sure, ive done it plenty of times, but weed is literally known to mong you out and make you lazy..
@@arcticfoxad8244 It is a terminology issue. Deep sleep is the last stage in NREM state. REM is technically a deeper sleep state than deep sleep (even though the brain is more active) but it doesn't have the same restorative functions as the deep sleep in NREM does. Hence in science the reference to deep sleep points to the NREM state right before REM not REM itself (even though they are both deep sleep states technically). So yes from a scientific view his terminology is off, from which we can deduct that the chance of quality research is minimal.
Oh so much, I did over a gram of dabs a day and at least a few bowls. I remember waking up, ripping 3 J’s and feeling nothing. How about yourself, Jason?
@@SobrietyUniversity quite a bit. mainly in joints though. 4 or 5 grams per day - pretty easily. it is getting kinda rough. i do everything under the influence of weed including 35 km per week running. it is time to make a change and I am glad that I found your page.
@@Denada1350 thanks for sharing, Jason. I totally understand where you're at and it sounds like you're on the verge of a breakthrough. I was very active using weed also, learned how to catch a football stoned. On the plus, I have found to be WAY more active without it and I imagine the lungs appreciate also. I'm glad you found this page also and look forward to hearing your progress!
