Addiction means being unable to stop no matter what. A true weed addict smokes too much and let’s it negatively effect their life. Being a bit cranky because ur not having it is not the same thing.
@@sturock2000 But then you get into an endless discussion about what exactly constitutes addiction because you can be addicted to healthy or productive things too.. which can actually be a positive force in your life.
@@jumpingbombangels2856 an addiction is an addiction whether good or bad.... I feel shitty when I didn't work out the day before... Those little pains I feel in the morning in my muscles is like crack to me... I need to have them so that i know i did something
Not participating in sober October but been on vacation only took a couple edibles, but smoked some herb when I got home. Got stoned out of my mind, makes me want to keep taking longer breaks only smoking once at night not all day.
I started doing Sober October in 2019...The first time was horrible, because I smoked weed for 17 years every day without stopping, and I couldn't sleep the whole month. In 2020, it was a little bit easier...same with 2021. This year I had no sleep issues at all, and aside from the weird disturbing dreams, I am enjoying it. I highly recommend doing it if you are a daily smoker, because it resets your system and getting high feels brand new again.
Man 17 years Jesus christ, I did 5 years age 14-19 im sober past couple days rn and my brain feels crisp, like a fresh side of a pillow, can anyone relate?
Try waking up just one or two hours earlier while getting in a very long, exhausting endurance exercise like bicycling. But you have to wear yourself out And you'll have no choice but to be hungry and tired.
I stopped for 4 months during covid after 5 years of everyday smoking and 7 since i started. That was enough for me, when i lit a joint again it felt like i was 15 again and experiencing that shit for the first time 😂 but now i'm back to the old habits but twice i took a whole week off smoking and it was beneficial for focusing on important stuff i had to do at work.
@@nkxseal8398 same when there's a constant responsibility, it makes it easier. When ya have to quit. I also use vacations to quit due to no source of it, along with the brand new environment kinda making me not want it
I you can find the discipline in yourself to stay profuctive and still use it, then I say it's all good. Ot's a wonderful relaxing meditative naturzl product, and it sure as shit is better than booze.
@@naylik2562 I find the best highs to be when I forget about weed entirely. Like, 6 to 8 months without it. Then taking a puff or two when in free time.
Weed may not be physically addictive but it is mentally. It was harder for me to quit smoking than it was to quit drinking and smoking cigarettes. I was used to smoking 100$, in wax a week plus regular bud on top of it. I felt like I had to smoke before anything I did. And once I got baked it just killed my drive to do things like put in effort for a better job. Made me content with not having crap. It's not normal to have that feeling all the time. It has ruined my pleasure in doing all the activities I loved to do stoned like video games and TV.
wax is way too much man, get you a one hitter. wake and bake one hit with it wait until you are completely sober and then hit it one time again. that way you can stay high all the time, without hardly smoking anything.
@@kingmasterlord I quit smoking several months ago lol so I could finally escape my 7.50 a hour job. I can't just do the one hitter stuff bc I have a addictive personality and I'd just end up smoking all day. It got to the point where I could only feel the high the 1st smoke of the day. I'd smoke myself to a point where I'd feel almost sober. Weed just made me content with being broke and barely scraping by. Wake and baking is a quick way to kill your tolerance, and chronic daily use of anything is bad.
I was wondering how he was holding up. I'm on day 10 and it's starting to get manageable. First week was rough though. My body wasn't regulating temperature well; running hot or cold constantly, night sweats. Still dealing with nightmares and irritability in general.
Can't wait for that feeling aha. That's what happens when so much weed is in ur blood and brain from daily abuse. I'm 5 years deep with weed and I'm young and fit so I need to quit to get my lungs back on track.
@not a human i only get more vivid dreams and sleeping isn't as easy but still ok. When I quit weed + tobacco at the same time in the past it was totally different, I could not sleep properly for the first week. The cravings were so much worse. I guess nicotine is just much more addictive
it still technically is not, as there are no reward paths involved but its the same or very similar as with anything else what you find enjoyable, like a loved one or sex or LSD...
Joe gets a different high than regular people. He treats it like it’s a god tier performance enhancer but most people just get tired and hungry and anxious lol
I think it’s different for everyone, I’m prescribed for ADHD, Anxiety and Chron’s disease and honestly it’s a blessing to have access to such an amazing natural plant
I don't understand how Bert doesn't go through serious withdrawals, it legit must be the Mickey Mantle gene. I started sober October a bit early because I was having severe panic attacks without alcohol, so I knew I had to go cold turkey (and won't be drinking after October, either). The withdrawals were insane for about 4 days / 3 nights, so I have no clue how Bert does it. Maybe he doesn't drink quite as hard as I was drinking! I'm not raw dogging reality though. Just sticking with cannabis.
@James Iron I absolutely agree with you, vodka was my drink too. Drinking a 1.14L (40oz) bottle every 2-3 days. That's why I'm so skeptical about Bert being able to just suddenly stop without serious withdrawals. I think it's all just part of The Machine persona and he doesn't actually drink the way an alcoholic drinks. I'm only 33 and my liver and bloodwork were showing serious signs that I needed to stop. I know alcoholism can look very different for different people, but mine was much more akin to what you just described. I think Bert's is all for show.
Idk man I get Joe here. I think weed in a weird way is so important(thought wise) No one ever regrets shit they say stoned. Drunk is totally different.
Good job. Once you start back it'll only take a few days to get your tolerance back. Not abusing it and not wake and baking is the best route if you're gonna smoke and want to actually get really baked when ya do.
Damn so weed is Joe’s secret to sitting down and hammering out his stool humping routine!!! A true comedic GOAT…. 1 of on 1000 true comedians in e world, rarer than wild tigers
@@gregbradshaw7220 Weed is addictive dude. Because it doesn't give you super bad physical withdrawals doesn't mean it's not addictive. Mood swings,insomnia,lack of appetite,depression,anxiety are all common weed withdrawal symptoms. Anyone who needs to get high everyday is an addict.
@@gingerroot8802 almost everyone is addicted now a days who gives a shit from the people that drink every single weekend to the asshole that needs coffee or nicotine everyday to function and anything can be psychologically addictive not just weed literally anything 🤷♂️
@@blackkray8351 you can also get addicted to buying shoes, collecting rare coins, sex, and a billion other things. Weed in comparison to other drugs and alcohol is below nicotine and sugar imo.
idk what the hell Bert was getting to at the end, but I like how your channel profile pic is basically the Camel commercial he described of Joe gulping down a cigarette
Ohh yeah it’s a real issue. It’s addiction. It’s evident that Joe is needs weed, even though he stated he didn’t miss it on a previous sober October. Looks and even manifest his need for it through his words and his corporal language.
I had a hard time for the first few days to a week. Now I enjoy the clarity and only think about it if I'm really having a crappy moment/day. Then I usually reflect and try to realize why I want it. Deal with it and move on.
Even tho I am fat I am kinda happy I dont have any other addiction than sugar (obviously). Alcohol like twice a year, never smoked a cigarette, weed twice in my entire life. T oanyone who is currently suffering through sober october. You can do it. Dont worry.
Yeah quitting weed cold turkey is brutal. Day 5 is apparently the worse. But the irritability, anger, anxiety, insomnia, and crazy dreams are not fun. On the plus side, we know Bart is not really *that* much of an alcoholic, or he would have straight up died going cold turkey
It was easy for me to stop smoking weed. I didn't get irritable or anything. But cigarettes omg. I can never seem to put them down any longer than 6 months
No mistakes about it, if you are a chronic marijuana smoker, you will feel effects when you quit it. It’s definitely the safest drug, but it is a drug nonetheless.
For me it's 50/50. If I were to get stoned it wouldn't take me long for my tolerance to go back through the roof then I'd want whiskey or beer to take the edge off. I smoked shatter until I got to the point I felt like I wasn't even high. I was getting stoned to the point I felt like I couldn't feel it.
i’m 18 and work at subway so i definitely be smoking sum mid and it’s still hard for me to stay away so i can only imagine how hard it is when you got sum top shelf gas like i’m sure rogan has
If you don't put it down soon you'll end up 23 working at Applebee's making minimum wage like I was. Didn't even have the money for a car and could barely pay my bills until I put the weed and liquor down. Went from 7.50 a hour to 200$ a day. Best decision of my life and just bought a new house with a couple acres of land.
So basically Joe ripped the fuck out of a cigarette just like it was a joint 😂😂😂 I’ll be damned if i say I haven’t done that before 😂😂😂 Sometimes when you’re reeeeeally drunk its an easier mistake to make than you think 😂😂😂 almost like chewing a stick of gum and swallowing it immediately
Gotta put it down. Your dopamine/pleasure receptors are probably toasted. I finally got tired of not being able to enjoy anything unless I was stoned or drunk. Went from shatter and a blunt in the morning/all day to nothing. Had to put down the booze too. I couldn't even get a 6 pack without pulling my hair out wanting more
Yeah see I remember a while back Joe saying something like "yeah I can stop whenever." The catch to weed Is, even if you keep casually smoking, eventually you will not be able to stop whenever
All these people calling Joe an addict ,when they probably couldn't go 2 days without coffee or sugar. There's a difference between an addiction and a dependency. It's just weed lol.
