How & Why I Quit Smoking Weed 

I feel like quitting habits is just something you do in your 30's. Thats something im facing at 32. I quit drinking last year, and i used weed & kratom to substitute. Now a year later the old drugs i used to love just make me feel like crap. Weed gives me hella anxiety now, like that bad feeling youre talking about. videos like this help and motivate people that are struggling. Ive suffered addiction my whole life and knowing im not alone helps alot. Thanks for opening up and congratulations!

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Dude your story is so similar to mine. Im 30+ years old from socal, started as a teen, etc. The biggest danger with weed is that it makes you content with everything. It robs you of your motivation. I started at 16 and next thing I know, I'm 33 and I havent done anything productive with my life. It's scary to think how much time Ive wasted just getting high. This video is really inspiring me to quit. Thanks for sharing, man.

This hit so close to home. Man I have work to do. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. You just reinforced what I already know I have to do.

Dowdy my man it's crazy how the universe works sometimes. I'm 32 and have been smoking since I was 16, been seriously battling with some negative feelings about the habit lately. You said it perfectly, you're trying to quit something that you love, but that you wish you DIDN'T love. Between how much money I'd save, how much more energy I know I'd have, and how much more motivated I'd be to keep up with the small stuff, it's starting to feel like it's time for some big changes. I needed to see this video today.

You are totally taking words out of my mouth, everything you said about that awesome weed and tocacco feeling, using it all the time as a reward, not remembering full blown trips, feeling guilty all the time, finally dreaming again. You made my day thanks for your honesty.

I quit weed and alcohol when I was 16 now I'm 43 best decision I ever made.Skateboarding gives you all the dopamine you could ever need.

I quit smoking cold turkey after 3 years of being high all day every day. In a lot of ways it was for the same reasons. I felt like i was detaching from real life after a while and it made me miserable. I realized that my ability to enjoy the things i love mattered more than suppressing the things i hated. Videos games stopped being fun and skating, mtb and working on cars became my source of joy again. My dreams came back as nightmares for the first month but I’m mostly back to being normal. If anything, smoking made me realize in a short time how awful it feels to be dumb and high all the time. I missed so much of my childhood because of it and i never want to go back.

mad respect for making this video man

rad insight bro! Thanks for sharing!

Im rippin my bong as i watch this vid 😂 All good Dowdy! To each there own and never had issues with people who dont smoke. Hell, my gf doesnt even smoke 😂 i just watch for the great content and skating!

Respect! Strong decision. Head up and go on.

I spent 17 years skateboarding and enjoyed having that activity and passion for something in my life but also smoked weed for 20yrs in copious amounts daily,not at first but the activity quickly escalated.When I skated and then smoked weed everything skill wise would change,my balance and drive would become off.while I did smoke so often I still felt guilty for what I was doing to my mind and I knew that one day I would quit but just didn’t know when.Then I had an opportunity to get a high paying job but found out that they’d drug test regularly..so I said that day may8th 2021 this was the day and haven’t smoked since.i didn’t get that job but also didn’t go back to smoking pot and don’t regret it one bit and like you said ‘I have no desire too’ even when it’s around me because I like who I am without it.I never discredit those who choose to have it in their lives,and I still love the smell of freshly busted buds.

The story is very similar to mine, I stopped about year and half ago and now I'm 32. The reward system was so spot on and I remember the last time I bought weed I felt guilty. The memory loss is a real thing, I forgot conversations, and details in my life. After 3 months of not smoking I was with someone I use to skate with and they had a pen.i ended up hitting it only once and I couldn't wait for it it to be over. That was the last time I smoked, iv moved on and I'm hardly ever in a environment where it doesn't even come around.

I’ve heard you mention that you have adhd in earlier videos. People with adhd, especially when undiagnosed/untreated have a very high probability of developing a substance abuse disorder (80% according to statistics). Might be worth looking into getting some CBT therapy for adhd and or medication if you’re still struggling at all. I went through a similar thing except I ultimately ended up on harder drugs. Super glad to hear that you were able to grit your teeth and get through it! Some things that helped me move past that were lifting weights (highly recommend to literally everybody), staying active, I still use cbd for sleep, and trying to make friends who also are sober and understand what you’ve been through. Some people get a lot of benefit from AA or NA meetings although I didn’t do that. Anyway, I enjoyed hearing your story and it was really cool to hear that you successfully quit and stuck with it. It’s not easy and you should feel proud!

I quit 4 months ago after smoking daily for around 15 years. I went through the same issues with sleeping and dreaming. For the first month, I would have the craziest dreams and wake up sweating every night. Now I sleep better then I did when smoking. I commend you for making this video. I wish I heard opinions like this years ago from people who smoked and quit.

I'll be 32 next month and I think there is something about your 30's that makes you change the way you feel about a lot of things? I'm a month and a half without weed and smoked daily for 12 years.. you're spot on with the things you talked about! I will never have anything against weed, however I was going through some deep mental stuff and is ultimately what got me to stop (not to mention I was strictly dabbing pretty heavy) the dreams are the biggest thing I've noticed since quitting, some are good and some not so much.. also tons of sweating in my sleep? The first week was tough with the urges and very little sleep but after that I don't even think of it much and getting more and more sleep everyday. I know it's only been about 2 months but I have no thoughts or plans on getting high again and feel so proud of myself! Love the content new subscriber btw

I quit because it stopped feeling good, and started giving me chronic anxiety and paranoia. So much so that it would last for days even when I wasn't stoned. It was like a switch was hit in my brain and it become just not enjoyable any more ..... and actually really unenjoyable. To be honest I envy people who can still enjoy partaking, but I know where it takes me now and I just can't any more.

Quit smoking cigs 10+ years ago, never stopping smoking weed. As far as dreaming goes for a while i didn't dream very often but for the last couple years i have been having crazy cool dreams almost every night so im not sure there is a connection. Weed does affect everyone differently and its interesting to hear other peoples experiences with quitting.

Cannabis can absolutely be addictive. It's unfortunate that the idea of it not being a deal exists. I started going to 12 steps because of it just over 9 months ago.

I've gone a year plus without alcohol and weed. Avoiding temptation gets easier, and interest in it diminishes over time! The clarity that you gain makes it WAY worth it. Counseling/therapy, meditation, routine, and a healthy circadian rhythm have helped me immensely as well! I do see how cannabis may be beneficial for some individuals, but it can become a less than healthy coping mechanism if abused. To be honest, it still smells pleasant, but for me, it's a matter of principle now. Although, a vice I've held on to is caffeine, and I definitely gotta keep that in check! Keep it up, man!! 💯

trying to quit now. i feel like shit

I found your channel about 6/8 months ago. I’m not really into skating much anymore but work in construction and all manor of things like that and find your videos relaxing and fun to watch how you do you ramp builds etc. As someone in his 30s with ADHD, anxiety , ptsd and depression. Oh and I’m highly addicted to weed , hash and enjoy drinking a bit too much this video speaks to me. I’ve been trying to get motivated to go to therapy for years to sort out my head and try be a more understanding and present father. You mentioned you’d just finished a therapy sesh in one of the first videos I watched of yours a few months ago and I like to think that was another push to just book one. I’ve been in therapy at least once a week since April and am dealing with ALOT and still have some weak moments of anger etc but I like to think I’m getting better and better everyday. I’ve been struggling with the weed addiction for so long and have had the bad feels about it for years. I hope soon I can also kick the habit and be better. I’ve tried before and managed a few months but slipped back in. Here’s to trying again 🎉 thanks so much for all your videos dude. No ego, pleasant music and the main character is a hero. You’re on the right path my dude. Love and luck from Ireland bro 🇮🇪 ❤️ 🍀

Powerful stuff bro. I’m 27 now and I’m two or so months into giving it up and I’m happy about it. The way you said it felt disabling is uncanny bc my biggest con was in my own words “it just feels like I’m handicapping myself”. I like how you put it better😂 In all honesty it really made me feel like I was just hiding behind a habit and wasting my potential. It always just made me so feels so lazy, unintelligent & unambitious. It was the perfect way to hide from putting myself out there and achieving the things I was scared to get out there and try. This is really only the beginning for me so I can’t imagine how much more growth will come from this choice. Thanks for sharing💪🏿

Just quit 5days ago after 20years, 42y old, you're totally correct, even more active ❤❤❤

Listening to your story, It felt like the story of my life. I smoked it since I was 13. Now I am 54. Wish I would have quit sooner. My brain works sooooo much better now. 4 years off of it and it feels so wonderful. I have dreams all the time now. Every thing you mentioned I felt the same exact way. I can deal with stress way better now. Peace out man.

Weed was fun as a bored youth with few responsibilities. As an adult with more at stake it just gave me anxiety

Stoked for you man! I quit about a year ago, though I took a different approach. I had tried cold turkey a few times and it had never really stuck. Eventually I bought a vaporiser and slowly reduced my dose over the course of weeks. At some point I just kind of stopped and the withdrawals really weren’t too bad and I managed to sleep fine after a day or two. Just another way to go for anyone looking to quit. Another option if you can find it is to switch to cbd only strains. Getting in some cannabinoids but avoiding the thc can be a little bit more gentle and can help with the sleep issues a bit. And after a while cbd is much easier to just stop. Peace legend!

Good shit bro. Glad to see you found your zen.

I smoked just as long Zach omg. I quit 2 years ago and my life is so much better.

always taste need to hear this. he got broke for buying weed. 12 kids and all the money spending in weed is serious issue.

If you don't want to have to go thru the whole quitting thing again don't even think of touching it again ever, it's easy to go back to our old ways.

I was a full blown alcoholic. When I went into rehab and quit, I had crazy vivid dreams. This is a good sign that your natural dopamine levels are balancing out. With alcohol being a depressant, your brain produces a natural stimulant to counter balance it. The brain continues to produce this stimulant after you abstain and it causes insomnia. After a couple of weeks I was able to sleep normally. This may be the case with THC also.

❤ this, congrats man. I have the same problems when I have a tolerance break. I’m 37 been smoking since 14. Getting to sleep is so hard. I start to have dreams, vivid ones where I wake up sweating. I used to smoke everyday as much as I could. What started my change of my smoking schedule was being more in the moment with my kids and remembering it properly. I’d rather spend £50 on a day out with my kids rather than smoke a quarter oz in a few days.

thanks for sharing! I feel it is really important to talk about these things and your take on it is very insightful. much love.

Thanks for sharing, stay strong

Dreams are literally like watching a movie every night now.

Thanks for sharing. As a SoCal skatehead I can only imagine the amount of people calling you crazy. But you stood your ground and did it anyway good for you man!!!

God is proud! Turn to him. Meditate on his word and talk to him daily. I’m proud of you brotha!

This one hits home!!!!

Yea Guy! I was a full tilt stoner , advocate for weed in every way and eventually a full blown hopeless addict. I picked up 17 yrs clean and serene on 7/18. I love living clean! Its the best. With all of lifes ups and downs . Life on lifes terms is a journey best experiencd with a clear mind,.. for me anyways..My skating got more fun and i am present. And that is one of the greatest gifts of living clean. Your testamony is inspiring. Thank you ! More will continue to be revealed,.. blue skies and.. Onward on the journey~

For sure there are more immediately damaging things to be addicted to than weed but it’s great to hear more and more people talking about the dark side of habitual cannabis use. I smoked pretty much daily for 19 years, quit 5 years ago and my life is so much better now. Also became a father and I can’t imagine doing a good job of that as stoned me.

I'm 47, started skating before I can remember as a 70s baby, but became conscuously a skater and a part of counter culture at 11 when it was banned. I never really got into herb until adulthood and already addicted to smoking cigs. Now after years of abuse on my body from car accidents and getting diagnosed with a disabilty or three, (after being forced to work injured without healthcare or bennefits for over two decades or face homelessness during the most challeging time in the US economy since the great depression, on top of union busting and abusive right to work laws) cannabis is becoming mandatory to avoid insomnia and chronic body pain these days, or even think about still skating thru it all. It affects my dreams too, but the overpolicing and tendencies for the local law to treat it like alcohol is why I'm wanting to distance myself even as an advocate for medicinal purposes. I have already given up alcohol, caffiene and cigs after cannabis prohibition ended in my state and policing for profit became evident. Alcohol and cigarettes have no medical value to me and was just making me feel sick and restricted instead of having fun, also because of over policing in a policing for profit state that arrests people on scooters, skateboards and bikes for OUIs to make money. It seems Michigan is heading in that direction towards cannabis use as well, over policing for profits. As skateboarders we already get profiled and stereotyped by the law and I don't need more excuses to be prey for some podunk PD that only cares about profits and their paycheck over actual justice. Theres a reason they push us out of the park we like skating at for over 40 years then built a big expensive bowl down the road at the park nobody wants to be at, surrounded by cameras with taunting signs the police dispatcher watches, and it isnt to support skateboarding as my area is gentrified around it, right after legalization and artwashing began locally to flip houses and fill the big new jail with the poor that cant afford to leave or pay for good defense. It makes my life less miserable due to body pain and insomnia and I'm not happy the state itself is behaving this way. I would prefer to not be preyed on for profit anymore than we already are for real estate bumps in bad neighborhoods for gentrification profiteering and displacing the poor and creating new homeless. I probably won't skate much without the help from it's anti inflammatory and mood benefits as someone with chronic nerve, body, and joint pain. With that said, I think it's good to take breaks and challenge yourself to keep chain free if you use cannabis often, just a few days between use here and there often makes a big difference on tolerance and sleep/dreaming issues due to chronic use. Also, my Neurologist says the stuff about memory loss is old wives tales and propaganda, that there is no link between memory loss and cannabis tests have shown. I'm not sure if abandoning our long fought for right for legal cannabis is good for long term cannabis laws and enforcement and am curious why you feel guilty over using it. It must be a parenting thing besides the other reasons given. Just a guess.

Good on you for discussing what was once a taboo talking point in skating. Health and mental health matter and skating has more to its image than substance use. Enjoyed your viewpoint.

Skating and smoking are synonymous for me, and i want to get to a place where skating can stand alone as a source of happiness

I been smoking weed since I started college at 19. I'm 28 now. I've only taken breaks long enough to be able to pass a drug test for work purposes but besides that, i'm high everyday like DGK. Smoke and skate has been all people know me by for years. As of lately I've been wanting to cut back to get healthy and in shape but quiting is tough because I actually enjoy it. Your is extremely helpful in making me feel like I'm not alone, thank you for sharing your story. This is very helpful motivation for me wanting to cut back on the amount I take in and motivation for me to keep skating when I get into my 30s.

This video came at a very coincidental time in my life; I just quit smoking cannabis and nicotine as well. I found myself relying heavily on them. And that’s not to say those things are intrinsically bad, but my relationship with them was. I thought I needed them to have a good time. I’m turning 30 this year and I haven’t felt this amount of mental clarity since I was 14. If anyone is reading this and wondering if it’s worth it let me say this; it absolutely is. But only if you want it to be. I smoked for most of my adult life and at some point it was like I would smoke to feel “normal” again. I hope in the future I can have a healthy relationship with cannabis, but as of right now I’m more than content finding myself in this new normal.

Proud of you!!! Brave to open up. Helped some people for sure. Smoking period is not Cool. So unhealthy. Weed can be very helpful but like anything too much is not good.

Thanks for making this vid. Very strong. I tried over and over to quit. Once my son was born and I noticed me getting mad when he would be looking for me and find me in the garage doing my thing I knew it was time. I'd get mad and say Ill be in in just a second. He didn't deserve that treatment. It was my own guilt that caused my anger. But I could not quit on my own. The longest was 19 days and I was miserable. Weed was my god. It came before all else. When my paycheck came the first money spent was on it. I knew I was addicted bc I couldn't sleep without it. I would have night sweats that were horrible. I'd have to change sheets, clothes, take a shower and hope i could sleep. Finally I asked God to take it from me. I had my last bit, about an 1/8 and I held it up to the sky and said God please take this from me. I flushed it down the toilet. Never had a craving or a night sweat after that. Shortly after i did the same with alcohol. 8 years later I'm sober but that was just the beginning of what God wanted to fix. But those substances were the barrier to everything else.

Love this. Thanks for sharing, Zack. I've been skating for a while, clean and sober from everything for a while, and also am completing a grad degree in neuroscience - and I agree that cannabis addiction is real. In fact, our brains have cannabinoid receptors specifically ONLY for cannabis! I also experienced the intense dreams (still do), had to get to a place where the thought of smoking (and what it represented) just disgusted me, and love being free from drugs/drinking (although don't care or judge what anyone else does), so I really relate with your stance on that. Well done on 3 months. What park were you filming at (where you're mostly sitting and talking)? Thanks again so much, always love the perspectives from other sober skaters! 🤟

Addiction is normal human nature. Most people who successfully quit an addiction actually substitute that addiction for something else. Not necessarily another drug but something that gives them a similar satisfaction. Get addicted and stay addicted to skateboarding ❤

Kudos man. It ain’t easy

Speaking from experience, the difference between sleeping hi and sleeping sober is when your hi you don’t fall asleep, you pass out.

I relate so heavily to what you said and I agree 100%

Thanks for sharing your experiences Zack. I think many people go through this and the big take away from your video I took is that you found something else to substitute the habit that you had developed so strongly over the years. There's a lot of other great information you included and I'm sure you will have an impact on others with bringing up real talks and the comments will show as well with people sharing their own challenges.

A week out from 3 years of daily use; my mood and depression were the worst I’ve felt in years the first 4 days. Stayed over a friend’s’ house for the weekend and simply ignored the blunts in their ashtray that I would have sparked up immediately in the past.

Started smoking at 18, when it became medical. Now i am 22 and i am going to try stoping for sober October. I dont know if I can but I am do my best. This gave me push i needed. Thanks 🙏❤

Thank you, man. I am relating to 100% of what you're saying. I am trying to quit right now. It's been a way of life since I was 14. Now I'm almost 40 and well basically just every single point you made- I echo.

Quitting was the best decision I made, I quit 10 months ago.. Been smoking daily from 16 to 22 yeard old. Rn I have 0 desire to smoke again. I feel better then ever.. Thank you for sharing this video with the world! :)

Thanks for sharing. Awesome perspective. ❤

Thank you, i really needed this.

Inspiring man!

yeah man, not enough people talk about cannabis addictions and dependency and it's negative effects. sure it's not like other intense drugs but it can 10000% be a negative influence on your life regardless. heck an addiction to coca cola can be bad just like anything else. good on you for quitting.

I really enjoyed this segment. I still use it, strategically but only at those times. I really don't smoke enough of it. I see where you are and yes it takes a lot to make a video like this. I love this, this is positive. This is real. Keep it up!

very honest video which gives a lot inside, I can 100% approve what you say, here in germany it is normal to mix weed with tabacco. which makes quitting extra hard, thats a fact! I totally confirm the sleeping problems and the remembrance of things, stoned we tend to forget so many things, or better said " its not written down to the harddrive " while we are high. if you get the picture. for me, it was difficult but life is a lot clearer since I completly stopped using, plus I got kids now, and those need my full and unhinderd attention, thats really true. I am really glad you shared your eperiance, in my youth my attitute towards cannabis was " its only weed!! " but nowadays I really do regard it as a drug, and I think to a degree its dangerous to forget the harms that come with it. thank you again and best of luck, M from bavaria in southern germany

Thanks Zack! This hit the spot.

Relate to the dreaming thing. My dreams are always way more vivid when I'm on a break. Even when I don't smoke before bed, which I used to do all the time, but lately it's been so hot I don't want to go outside to smoke so I just go to bed. And even then I will have dreams, even if I smoked earlier that day.

Thanks for your honesty. Struggling with the same. Stay awesome brotato!

Go on Zach, proud of you! Nothing easy about the journey you're on, all the best for the future

Congrats man. I often wonder why we are looking to get out of ourselves. Why can’t I just enjoy what I do. I struggled with ( things ) I feel like everyone struggles in their own way. Better to be straight from my experience.

Good job man, I'm on a 30 day detox from alcohol and I'm feeling much better. Skating helps keep the noise a little bit quieter in my head.

Quitting things with really strong social components is very, very difficult - congrats to you!

Keep it green!! Just my personal experience tobacco really ignites the addiction side of weed

At 4:00 when you mentioned the tobacco & weed after Highschool it made me realize I’m truly not the only one that is stuck in this double addiction type cycle. I’m 27 (I just had to pause your video to type this) & I am excited to watch the rest. But I mention my age because I feel like I’m at the stage you mentioned in the beginning of the video where I’m realizing it’s just a constant “necessity” type thing. & I make it so much a part of my daily routine that it’s getting in the way of every other aspect of my life. I’m hoping this video will give me some sort of guidance, cause I’m feeling so lost. & anyone I talk to about quitting weed looks at me kinda crazy because I live in Portland / right across the bridge in Vancouver WA. Which EVERYONE - & I mean like everyone smokes weed or does other drugs or drinks all the time lol. So I feel like the odd one out trying to be sober, but it helps that my mom, & dad & sister are sober & I’m currently still living with them. I’m also writing this comment just to mainly say thank you for this video in advance cause I’ve been contemplating putting weed down for a little while & it’s not a coincidence this popped up on my FYP when I’m not even subscribed. (I’m gonna subscribe now) + this makes me feel not so alone in my battles. I think people that feel like us can greatly benefit from this video & introduction alone because you make it feel so relatable. I can’t wait to watch the rest of the video, but I have been watching some of your DIY endeavors lately & I enjoy it. Keep shredding & being a dope soul. Much love 🎉🛹

thanks for sharing bro and really glad to hear you are in a better place.

Huge fan and I think it's cool you opened up the conversation. One book that blew my mind recently is called "Wanting: the Power of Mimetic Desire". It helped me realize why I made a lot decisions as a teenager and as an adult.

When i quit, i realised that 'cannabis psychosis' really kicks in hardest when you quit cold.turkey and reality starts kicking in.

The sincronicity here is out of the roof😂! Just turned 36, been smoking since I was 15 ( tobacco mixed with weed or ashish). It's been couple of years now that I'm trying to leave this habit behind. Just have to keep pushing... Infinite thanks for your share❤

Thanks for sharing bro, respect from New Zealand

Weed started making me feel really depressed so I don't smoke it anymore even though I still "like" it.

You’re talking to so many people out there . Thanks for sharing this

Fad. I never started :) it’s a waste of money too. **cracks open and sips beer**

I have been trying the same thing. I feel like I have actually more anxiety now, but being aware that I do and knowing what it is even helps confront it, but I have things that cause it unwarranted, that I can't help, so it's like a social review everytime I compare when I'm not stoned to when I am stoned. I've even caught myself socializing not stoned compared to stoned, and I am more involved in fun rather than worry out anxiety when I'm not. I just feel it's hard to get, and I don't know how to grow it right, but I personally enjoy it, and think it allows myself to do things without constantly fighting nerves I always have, and almost I feel the struggle without smoking is worse on my mind and body compared to with it, only benefit I've seen with socializing whether on it or not, is how I can accept physical activities better when I'm stoned, compared to feeling my nerves fight the pain of it, where it's good in both instances, but how the mind interprets it compared to what is seen are both opposites in my social anxiety, and it's always been a strange thing to be aware of, not sure. I just think I'm the end marijuana assists the mind and body allow you to feel that person you are trying to be positively more than the concerned struggling person within. There's my personal experience

Thanks for this video really inciteful, we are pretty much the same age, im from rural England but now a Londoner (pretty much all weed is smoked with tobacco here) got into MTB trails riding on my own and if i was nervous about a manoeuvre/trick id alway smoke before to 'settle' my nerves then as i was stoned messed it up and hurt myself id smoke another for the pain. Ive tried hard at time to give up but my dreams are really really wild

Happy for you Zack. But the thumbnail on this video is hilarious 😂

I love smoking weed and i'm not ready to give it up. But i am honestly moving from thc dominant strains towards cbd dominant strains. At this point in my life, being 37, i can't afford to get any dumber. And honestly nowadays it's about psysichal and mental health. I am not really trying to get stoned I just appreciate the benefits I can reap from using the glorious weed. But with that being said, more power to you. I Hope you do well in this new phase of yours. Much love!

Super strong story man, glad you overcame it

Congrats Zack. Good on ya

nice video Zack!... drinking, smoking and drug use of any sort are all bad of course. most people... I'd say about 65% prefer drinking alcohol, 35% prefer smoking weed. It is very rare to meet people who don't do any kind of drugs or can fuel on caffeine only. I totally agree with that when I have smoked weed I feel like I don't skate as good or the stamina is decreased even though I feel overall more relaxed and "loose" in my body.

Thanks for sharing, very similar situation I’ve been experiencing.

Couldn’t agree more. I smoked for about 25 years everyday, and I have never felt more motivated and happier these last few weeks. I’m sure many will agree with that if they actually go through with it.

great zack! You have to have courage to come out and talk about this topic. even more so in the world of skateboarding that only shows substance abuse (as you also showed in one of your videos )Living in the present is the best thing you can do. Much love❤

13:19 totally true. I still enjoy oils and gummies but I m 47 and still have never ever had a single drink 🍹 it’s definitely something I m proud about and know I never will. I personally would like to quit ganja soon and have been thinking of a full stop for a while. 15:43 I’m just over it. Time has come for sure. Best of luck with it.

Preach bro, I love it 👍

3 years clean going on 4 this year and had the exact same feelings as you did job brother it gets easier the more you walk away from it your emotions and memory does come back but with me atleast try not to focus on it alot just enjoy life and move forward and when you do remeber things that come back to you it will shock you and you will be more appreciative about it good luck brother proud of you ❤

weed and tobacco is a gnarly combo my friend introduced me to, it seems like a lot of people fall into that

thanks for sharing this. it’s something I consider a lot …. I started at 14 and am about to be 44. Pros and Cons to it and I definitely consider what I COULD get done without it

love your story man!

I quit weed many years ago but was very heavy for quite a long time. I'm also Australian so I know well the tobacco and weed thing! Quit alcohol about 5 years ago. Coffee, I'm not even ready to think about quitting!

I also got hurt the day I was double taking drugs . On two drugs at once and I get injured really bad .. that was an eye opener.. I need to stop killing myself
