I am 63 and was a daily weed smoker for 48 straight years. I quit 53 days ago. The first 2 or 3 weeks were absolute hell. For me, weed was highly addictive. I loved it more than life itself. I feel like most of my life I have wasted and weed is partly responsible. I am starting to enjoy my life without being stoned. For me, quitting weed was a good choice.

Are you still off the weed? I'm 50, 30 years as a daily smoker for me, all day too, none for 46 days, cold turkey is only way I can quit anything. You are right first 2 to 3 weeks sucked real bad, mentally. Weed can be a good thing, can be really bad too, once it becomes a habit. Wish I hadn't waited so long to stop. Good luck to you brother.

I started smoking in college too at 27. It became a huge part of my life. I am 31 now and a week ago out of no where I just stopped. I've felt so much better, much more present and I am shocked because Ive always been a huge advocate for plant medicine. It served a purpose and helped me. Now I have the strength to help myself without it. Keep up the Journey! You got this

@@Quittingtogetherno no no… people who truly use it as medicine have things like severe pain/ neuropathy, cancers tumors, real insomnia.. so their lives are shit, it’s not some kid wasting their time and money when they could be doing better things, it’s people who literally want to die while dependent on multiple opioids, and the cannabis has a sparing effect on opioid use, as well as a strong coping effect on managing severe pain, our lives will never be good, like me at the age of 25, I’m lucky I can walk, my pain is invisible, but I’m a total outcast, cannabis for me, benefits me in ways it won’t for someone who doesn’t have real medical problems.

@69 it helped with my neuropathy, and some other things but it the last months my use got way out of hand so ive stopped for the time being. Id be lying if i said that was the express purpose of me smoking but it does actually help when my hand starts spazzing and hurting at times. It has medicinal effects BUT being high for 60 percent of the day isnt medicinal. Also the withdrawals are not that bad if youre used to worse (like ive dealt with personally, though I've left hard drugs behind).

This is a really relatable experience with weed. I think so many people don’t realize how it truly affects them because using weed daily is their norm and due to THC binding to fat, your levels remain elevated and even when you’re no longer “high” you’re not even close to back to baseline. I smoked and ingested (the edibles were my favorite) for fifteen years and after giving it up I’m much happier.

I was 14 when I started smoking and it was great, I never felt addicted to it most of my life. 7 years later I just went through a horrible break up, and it has quickly become my coping mechanism, the way I am running away from how hurt I feel. I realized today that I am out of weed, and the anxiety I am feeling about where I’m gonna get it from, how I’m gonna get it, and how badly I just want to smoke and not be sober is driving me insane. And it’s the first time I’m starting to notice that my weed consumption might be an issue, and how maybe I am addicted. This video is a good eye opener, and I think it’s time for me to quit and get my life together.

Awesome story and words of wisdom. Currently 16, and on day 17 of no marijuanna, I was using it as a scapegoat to kinda numb myself to my surroundings (as stupid as that sounds), but when it came to a point where things were finally okay, I was still numb; grades fell off the cliff, my mom started to worry that I couldn’t just be sober and feel content, and the worst was how panicked I felt actually being sober. All of this up until I started having mini panic attacks when I smoked, and when I say I smoked a LOT, I was a 24/7 “had to be high all the time” smoker, and even taking one hit off a bowl would send me into panic. Realized it was either a sign from god or my body telling me something, but I haven’t touched it since. Love you bro wish you all the best ❤

Wow! First off thanks for your transparency. More and more high schoolers are feeling this way. And it’s tough to admit this stuff because so many people say “it’s just weed”. But it drastically messes with our brains. Just know it will take time. Your going to feel like shit but it gets better! I’m so proud of you and at your age, making this choice most likely just changed the whole trajectory of your life for the better!

I smoked weed from when I was 17 until I was 42 almost every day. I just thought it was normal because most of my friends did it. I told myself it was OK to have 1 vice since I don't drink very much at all. Been 6 months weed free...That was the only thing I had in common with many of my friends..the more I went without it the less I wanted to hang put with people that were using.

Feel free to show your son this video and I would be happy to even speak with him. It’s a really hard addiction to break. Everyone I know who smokes it daily is addicted to it. They just don’t know how bad because they have yet to have to quit.

Something I've learned about myself, and this may not apply to you but for me I look at weed from this perspective: humans have been using drugs almost daily for 1000's of years so if you can live happily with something then you might as well. For me I needed to take a break from weed, it was making me lazy and depressed but I still enjoy weed and it has it's time and place, I would go as far to say that I love weed but do I smoke it everyday? no, do I smoke it every week? no, what I learned is moderation, I don't hold myself accountable for never smoking again but I realize how enjoyable life is without it and how being sober and finding the join within yourself can be very nice but if I'm with a buddy, it's a special occasion and we want to spark one up, ay what's the harm? I probably smoke less than once a month now and I can say my relationship and appreciation for this substance has grown tremendously since I stopped abusing it daily.

interesting, I don't typically think of weed as being addictive at all. I use it occasionally but often I'll go for weeks or even months in between using it and I won't even think about it at all. I've even had a whole year sober. Even when I was a stupid teenager and smoked heavily, I was eventually able to realise I was being incredibly stupid and just stopped completely. The one that's been an actual huge struggle for me is nicotine... now that shit is hard to kick. But hey good for you man, being able to recognize something just isn't for you and being able to stay away from it is always a good thing.

Day 102 and anxiety free, I started smoking weed in 1978 aged 17 ,since your a musician my favourite album from 1978 was Stained Class by Judas Priest a heavy metal band. I gave up weed in 1991 aged 30 after Jehovahs Witnesses hijacked my mind ,I left the cult in 2018 aged 57, in 2019 I thought smoking weed again after a 28 year break would be fun again and help me cope with been shunned by my family and friends ,weed did and didn't the magic didn't last it created anxiety then relieved it a vicious cycle. Sober is my new high, I,m free from weed and religion which I believe both have a good and bad side to them like most things in life. Justin Porter ex jw.

yes you are right, weed can be addictive... to some people. For a lot of people it can actually save their life. Hence why there is medical marijuana in pretty much every state. You would be surprised how many opiate addicts that used weed to save their life. Everyone is different, everyone has different vices. It is not 1 size fits all when it comes to addiction or marijuana. I have smoked herb the majority of my life (32 years old) and I will go plenty of days without smoking because of choice.... I am now getting to the end of your video and I will say kudos for not talking shit on it and ultimately saying what I am, everyone is different. Best of luck in your journey of life!

Dude I totally understand everyone is different. To be fair, opioids are also prescribed and used as medicine. Everyone is different. But for me, I love weed so much that I can’t keep it to a moderation. I have tried so many times and failed. My wife, can smoke once a month and not think twice about it. Everyone is different.

Good luck, sleep disruption should quickly subside as marijuana is not addictive. But if your used to feeling a certain way when you go to bed and now you don't well that abnormal feeling is the hardest part and that will keep you awake, also the nightmares livid dreams, watch something nice before you go to bed and think happy thoughts. I have over simplified, but trust me if there is one thing, I know it's insomnia. A few months ago, perfect storm stress, stopped taking my anxiety depression medication because that truly f*cked me and also stopped smoking green. Result 30-40 hours awake mostly standing all day, unable to sit for more than a minute or two, driving was a challenge changed the radio station every 5 seconds, anyway I would sleep 20 minutes, if lucky 2 hours before jumping out of bed and repeating the process, randomly crying, feeling of utter despair, thinking I would feel that way forever. I got prescribed seeping medication, but I didn't touch it, I just wanted it for a crutch, soon as I knew it was an option, I actually started to sleep a little easier. To paraphrase Churchill when you are going through hell keep going. I'm still not normal. But eventually I will be, my smoking habit is now much less and going days without it at all, last time I smoked was Friday and I'm fine with that, but my biggest fear is sleep, if my insomnia were to return to its previous level, I'm not sure my brain or body could cope, I don't think I've had enough time to recover from the month of almost no sleep. I had lots going on so it's not all down to the green, I actually didn't want to smoke the green during that period because I felt like I need to reboot and clean my brain. Prescription medication left emotionally blunted couldn't feel much at all and it's hard to improve your situation when you don't give a sh*t add a few ounces of weed and you don't care at all. Anyway, just like you are posting these videos for yourself, I think my own post is mostly cathartic so it may well make little sense. But I've subscribed and hit the bell and would like to know more. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. If I may offer a small word of advice when stopping something don't think about what you're giving up, think about what you have gained.

It varies depending on the person. Like many things, it's about moderation. A lot of people that smoke, smoke everyday. Idk one person that smokes and only smokes "moderately". If you do things in moderation , it's far healthier for you body and mind. Especially when talking about substance use. I keep seeing these videos and it's not like I can't stop smoking, ik I can, it's more like I don't want to or have the need to. But that's just me. The biggest fear I have of quitting really would be how stoned I'd be after not smoking for a couple weeks then hitting some gas. 😂

@Quittingtogether
@Quittingtogether 4 месяца назад
While I appreciate your comment, all of the medical research and studies that have been done on, this would actually suggest that it’s causing a lot of your problems at this point. It fixes them temporarily and then you go through a withdrawal where you feel like you’re going crazy because you don’t have it. I also have severe PTSD and have been diagnosed with ADHD and the reality is I feel so much better now that I have quit. When I first tried to quit, everything felt way worse obviously. But there’s no study out there that would say marijuana does not make ADHD symptoms far worse. I’m not here to tell anyone they have to quit but I’m just letting you know if you tried to go six months without it you would absolutely start feeling better after the first few weeks. All of the scientific research shows that. Good luck with whatever you decide to do! Also, telling yourself that you cannot heal a broken brain is objectively not true, and I am a perfect example of that. Everything can heal with time and practice, but when we tell ourselves that it can’t, we are only doing a disservice to ourselves. I’m not judging but it feels like you have made a lot of excuses for yourself as to why you would like to keep smoking weed or as to why you need it. I wish you the best!

It’s like sex, or food, or anything really. It’s suppose to be sacred. Our society doesn’t keep anything sacred anymore, it’s all just pleasure seeking. For example being naked in Jesus time wouldn’t have been considered bad because there wasn’t sex or sun attatched to it, but today we objectify women really bad and encourage them to do the same, so it isn’t sacred anymore. And being naked it normally a sexual thing now, it’s not natural. It’s the mindset that’s the problem and people just being too distracted to educate themselves. God is first, weed is fine but again you gotta keep it sacred and not make it a issue some people don’t react well chemically period. And weed nowadays isn’t always organic, it’s industry has branched to it becoming chemically altered. So be safe keep god first keep everything sacred and be humble and do your work and take care of your family and your neighbors and there you go you beat idolizing anything that could mentally enslave you. I still smoke cannabis so I don’t recommend using anything, abstinence is amazing and for children. Only adults and those that need medicinal help should have access to cannabis education. It’s great if it benefits you cool but know that smoking anything is not natural and harmful! And chemically altering anything will bring forth different reactions. The herb is great but best of luck man you dont need anything don’t idolize a plant I believe in you and yea I might quit myself so I can get a better job
