Weve been conditioned to do all these hedonistic moves like drinking a soda or what not, but once you come to a tree for food, as force above intended for us, no amount of weed can match that happiness or mental clarity... i had 3 dreams a night, where i can remember every detail and scene vividly and all the pros i cannot put into words...

@Rose Watch out for the trap of guilt and beating yourself up if you relapse. Be aware that it is bad, but forgive yourself and enjoy it anyways. Understand you dont need it, but like it, also, your happiness doesnt depend on it
No matter how much pro-weed propaganda we see, or how much society tells us it’s a harmless drug... those that smoke always feel like they need to quit. There’s something to be said about that. Why do we want to stop?!
it's the zombie effect, you stop getting high and just think wtf am i doing. moderation is always the best for your health and enjoyment, even when it is the almighty Mary Jane.
@@excessivemedia9295 it's going great man it's real hard at the beginning I know but it will just get better keep going after a month or so you not even going to miss it.
Start working out , don't go full in if you are used to not being active, go for a 30 min walk at the park , the next day go 35 and so on . Later you can start running ( you can find any kind of cardio you like . Swimming , cycling and so on . Make it fun it's important.) and powerlifting or even bodyweight exercises in the park . Working out makes endorphins in your brain , and dopamine. It will help you get out all your energy into sometimes else . If you start working out your body will get used to it and will eventually will ask you to do so to get those endorphins . And remember my friends , you are not a loser if you lost a battle, you are figting a war . Don't give up.
Day 40 or so...i went broke bec of pandemic. So guess what...thats how i stopped. I cant explain to you how bad the first 6 days was w/ out it & i was a daily smoker for 2years. After 6 days...got the nightmares of hell again. after i got to 21 days...i became basically at a sense of relief...i faced the music in a sense. im now normal again...i would love to be able to have a blunt. but the pandemic prices on ganja now is through the roof. ...i would be stoned hardcore i know it. But this goes to say....i literally had to go broke....to see the bigger picture. I LITERALLY FEEL GREAT NOW...it comes to mind but im like ehh o well. Im thankful for these t break videos man. Glad you made it a month as well.
Running helps so much, you get the dopamine rushes, you break/change* your habit, and you will look so much healthier. My one year video will be coming soon- best of luck to this whole community. We’re in this together 💯
This exactly why bro my son , I blew some gs on ⛽️ that don’t get me high just buzz so you keep paying and street prices are crazy even family not giving you a plug . I’m like ok I’ll solve it by quitting I blocked hell of numbers lol
I'm on my 3rd day without smoking any weed or drinking any coffee (caffeine). This is not by choice; I had my wisdom teeth pulled this past Wednesday, so no smoking or hot coffee for me. I have noticed, even in this short break, I feel so much more rested after waking up, and less groggy. So much so, I don't even feel compelled to head straight to my coffee machine. I also have been experiencing multiple vivid dreams a night, whereas before I would go to sleep feeling foggy from the bong and no such dreams would occur. I am not here, because I am actively trying to stop smoking. I am here, because whether I like it or not, I have been experiencing the pros of not smoking weed. Thanks for sharing your experience with this, mate. I definitely benefit from hearing your story.
Great video. I'm in the uk and have been a stoner for nearly 20 years nearly 3 grams daily. I've gone cold turkey and am currently on day 3/4 watching these videos at night really help with understanding that I am not alone and that I'm not actually crazy!!! The days seem soooo long and I'm counting each hour that goes by as a sober member of society. I hope I can last, even though its probably the toughest test mentally I've ever come across in my life! Thankyou for this vlog I really needed it 👊
I was at 3 weeks clean earlier this year but decided to smoke when I visited home with a old friend. Had little to no cravings in this time so I thought it'd be fine but I feel right back into getting high all the time. Idk why I smoke tbh. I get anxious, dizzy, bored and don't sleep as well. I track my sleep so this is not just subjective. More than likely nostalgia and not being able to let go. I'm just finishing day 4 again. Just like last time I feel better and have been sleeping better. I watch videos like these since they help me stay away from bud. Shits hard to quit even when you don't like being high anymore!
@@ShotbyLucasFilms There's just more bad than good for sure. I get tid bits of that good feeling but ya high me wants to be sober but sober me wanted to be high... I've honestly only craved it once this week but let the feeling pass and put a lot of time towards my PhD instead.
This is the BEST and ONLY video I would ever recommend to someone who wanted to stop or even consider stopping using cannabis . All other videos should be wiped off the internet .
Hey Lucas, amazing videos and extremely motivating for who’s trying to quit as well. Is great to see a success case to get inspired on. Nowadays is not easy to find someone who’s giving a real opinion based in facts and experience. Keep it up!
Just threw my remaining supply away. I started my business the last time I quit. Then I got comfortable and started smoking again. This time around was worse then the last time, I was smoking all day long. The business is still doing good but Ive noticed my motivation and drive slipping. Apprecaite the video! This time is for good!
Damn bro. Such an inspirational video. By far the most motivating and detailed video I stumbled on so far. I'm on day 6 right now. This is my second attempt, the first one lasted about 2 years. But for me it is the first time I am quiting without any help. Your video is just what I needed to hear today, so thank you for that.
I’m on day 1 and I got in a huge fight with my mom this morning. I’m super irritable and angry but I now know thx to your video that it’s just a withdrawal symptom and that it’ll pass. Thank you. Edit: I also quit vaping a few days ago as well so I’ll have to battle two addictions.
Watched so many of these types of videos and I haven’t really connected too speaker. You seem like a humble guy and you didn’t write down a script of every word to say. Definitely seems like one of the more down to earth videos that makes it seem like I’m not watching some school video on drugs😂. I’m only 5 days in but have smoked for 8 years as well so it’s tough. Thanks for the support man and If you see this you’re a cool guy🤙🏼
Great video bro! Im on day 8 of 30, and I'm looking forward to all of the benefits you listened. Good advice for those who're looking to make a positive change.
you're so right about having vivid dreams. i stopped smoking about almost a week ago after i had my surgery.(been smokin for 4 years straight) today i dreamt and when i woke up, i like almost remember every detail of the dream i had and remembered it throughout the day. pretty trippy but it just goes to show you that hey, your brain needs air flow. give your body a rest.
Thanks for sharing your story brother. Last year I managed to quit for 3 months, but ended up starting again. I'm currently on day 4 of quitting, and I hope to make it longer than 90 days this time. Thank you for sharing and not being afraid to show vulnerability, stay strong everyone !!
Just remember everyone is different. When I quit weed I had terrible withdrawals(anxiety, depression, angry, no appetite, foggy mind, threw up). I had zero cravings and never coughed. I really wish scientists would study this more so people could understand this.
@@GoonieHunter yes sir i did! havent touched it since! thanks mate! last day was the 24th of feb! was havoc af with the dreams but now living the sober life! boooooring aha
I quit weed, alcohol, nicotine (I’d smoke when drinking sometimes), and caffeine for a few days. It’s been five days now and I already feel the irritability. What I used that was very helpful is naps during the day, drinking water, pineapple skins for teas, push-ups, and breathing exercises (Wim Hof hybrid method on TH-cam). My energy levels seem higher now than as if I was high. I love that I feel everything, very raw. If you can reach out to friends or random friendly strangers, do it. It helps get perspective on life from others to drive you through this journey. Hope this helps.
I stopped smoking to get it out my system for a job going on to 2 weeks and i feel good i can say the first couple days was extremely hard to sleep for me
Today is my last day before quitting. I’ve been smoking everyday for the past 4 years. Nicotine and weed. I quit nicotine a few days ago and now I am weed. Weed is a wonderful thing, but unfortunately it took all my motivation and drive away and just made me lazy. Used to be in sports and very active. Now I just sit behind a TV all day. I’m excited for this journey. Wish me luck fellas.
thank you so much for this video man from the bottom of my heart i am so fuckin grateful to hear this shit. I just cant continue to live my life smoking everyday and getting nothing done. I made a whole music studio that cost 2K and its been collecting dust for 4 years because all i do is smoke and stare at a wall or a screen half of the time now. I've completely lost myself in this cycle and im losing my mind. It's the worst feeling in the world for me i just feel so trapped and so fuckin stupid. But you really helped calm me down and I realized i keep thinking of quitting weed as like a hard thing and a negative challenge but I need to be positive about it. Gonna watch more videos like this and remind myself I'm not alone and I can change. I'm about to be 22 I still have a lot of my life ahead of me and I remember when I used to think I could work hard enough to save the world. I just want to be myself again and be normal without having to smoke weed
My senses are so much better now i can really dig deep into "active listening" on video games i feel like my iq as far as awareness has increased back to the norm or even better. You mentioned: "I was offered a one hitter etc" "its legal in your state so you could just go in buy" &&&& i reallyyyyy felt the pain & i know youre intelligent because i as well felt the "combination" of weed & nicotine. bro it is defffff the blunts mixed with the weed. especially smoking on a 2x 3x a day basis...man you Quit on your own terms GOOD JOB!
Thanks for this brother. I've been searching vids on HORRIBLE dreams after not smoking. This is the hardest part for me sofar along with episodes of crying like a beotch for no reason. I'm 41 and been smoking since i was 13 or 14 so the crazy dreams are in overdrive. I hope they calm down soon bc most of mine envolve paranormal stuff that freaks me out days after the dreams. Much love bro
Im on my second serious attempt... i managed 6 months before and then relapsed... I told my self I could control it and do it in moderation... before i knew it ...scoring ounces again hitting bongs day and night... `i remember my first smoke after that 6 months... it was so strong i felt like a noob again...infact i hated the feeling until my tolerance raised... then fell straight back into my old routine... anyway... this video is a great motivator... we are not alone in our struggle :)
Nice work buddy. You know it’s funny... I’ve smoked for about 16 years straight since I was 17 every day, I’m 33 now... and have only quit on my own free will one time. This is the 2nd. First time was a couple years ago... I truly wanted to quit so bad for years I would tell myself ok ima smoke all my weed tonight and quit tomorrow. Then I would wake up mad and not be able to control my addiction give in, go buy weed and then smoke and feel guilty. It’s funny because when you’re young in your addiction, you feel no guilt, you think you’re gonna smoke weed for the rest of your life. Until you realize, you’re not where you want to be at this point in life. Not following your dreams, not what you envisioned. When you get to this stage, at least for me... you feel guilty every time you smoke. Well the last time I quit, I did amazing... for about 9 months I turned down everything had great control, and I don’t know why but one day I thought I could smoke a little to deal with some stress, which I did.. didn’t even enjoy it actually hated the feeling cuz I was so high and had no control over my mind.. but for some stupid reason.. I smoke again a few days later way less. Long story short, I turned into a full blown pot head again... even started growing! At this point, I was smoking so much I was comatosed every day couldn’t even function...and was depressed af just not getting shit done. Luckily I’m doing well financially and got into day trading and learned the ropes of that, but I know without the weed I can just LIVE SO MUCH BETTER. Well I wanna tell you and anyone else reading this.... the ONE thing that helped me quit last time, as well as this time (1 week clean again) was actually watching and listening to videos of people going through the same exact thing. And like you said, when you change your perception about what it is to quit, and think of it as something great... this is what changed everything for me. One video in particular I’m sure you’ve seen it... 60 reasons to quit smoking weed by Tristan W. When I actually listened to ALL the benefits and things I would gain from quitting it changed my whole outlook on quitting. And as I would watch videos like this of people who have kicked the habit and feel amazing, it really gives you another outlook on life. I have invested in an entire production studio, thousands in camera gear, recording equipment all to follow my passion, and was so fucking lazy I wasn’t getting what I wanted to get done. And after discovering and falling in love with the sport of skydiving... I decided that’s it. I’m done for good. Jumping out of a plane was one of the most amazing things ever, and now wanting to get my license and eventually my own gear.. well that’s about 10K just in itself. I’m so done with smoking this time. I’ve been coughing up the nastiest shit the last week, finally not as much.. but I just wanted to say you’re doing a great thing making videos like this for people who just don’t really know how or have been stuck in the weed loop. Like you said it works for some people, but when it doesn’t work for you, you know it. You feel it. And I think the easiest way to help someone quit is to change their perspective on what quitting will bring into your life in the short/long term as you said.. as well as watching videos on TH-cam of other people who have quit and seem amazing benefits/life changes. I still chain vape all day on my vape juice which is next. I want to quit vaping so bad because I get heart burn from vaping so much it’s literally as if I can’t put the damn thing down. I seen you made some video about quitting vaping or something so I’m gonna go watch that now. Hope all is well with ya buddy and if you even were able to read this whole long story of a book I commented I appreciate it lol. Stay up bro
Same history here. I'm 30, and i've been chained to weed since I was 16. Several tries of quiting in the past but never realy picturing myself living without weed for the rest of my life. This time I feel is for real. I've been holding myself to only getting high at nightime with the excuse that it helps me sleep well, but I spend the hole day craving for nightime to arrive. It lost it's magic long time ago. Feels more like weed is using my more than the oposite. Today is one week clean, It's been a hard one. 4 to 5 lucid dreams and nightmares a day, bad mood, strong cravings for getting high. For me what has really helped this time is to give away all my weed so I can't set an excuse and use it. Hopefully I'll be a dad soon. Really needing this change. ¡Congrats to everybody getting out of the weedloop!
I stopped a week ago. Still sleeping badly, lack of concentration, a little irritation and sometimes a headache. But I won't give up because I want a healthier life. I'm a yoga teacher and ganja doesn't match (nothing against those who like it). Besides, I like hiking and I want to have more energy. Thanks for the video, there are many people in the same situation who need to hear this.For those who think weed it's not addictive, there are more than 50,000 people trying to stop and having withdrawal crises (I saw this in a support group on reddit).
@@adamdespot4159 honestly at the time after 40 days I got back into smoking for few months And now I’ve quit for 21 days and really don’t plan on going back to smoking weed. Semen Retention really helped with withdrawls and having the discipline to quit 💯
@@adamdespot4159 it really works it’s crazy how it works First thing first it increases testosterone which is a big factor in mood Check this video th-cam.com/video/5VN75LDm7eo/w-d-xo.html Also Mark The Mentor on youtube 💯
You should be so proud of yourself my man!! Your building a lot of grit getting off something thats addictive and gaining that discipline that most people dont have nowadays. Thanks for your motivation and your quitting journey! 10 more days until 30 for me! And remember, if you go back you have built the basis for what your coming back too. God bless❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for yr video man. It has helped me I've been smoking for close to 20 years and now enough is enough. Once again thank you for yr open and honest account on giving up weed. On I go now👍
day 5 man and feel good, been smoking 30 odd years on and off, mostly on - gave up drink years ago and now it seems a fog has lifted, sobriety isnt half as bad as i imagined
First day of not smoking in weeks. Quitting weed/nic all of April (except for 4/20 of course). I realized that I needed to set my priorities straight so that I can dedicate my time to improving myself instead of getting high all the time
I was a daily smoker since 13 I'm 22 now I quit for like a month and half then started again today is my day 2 lol gona try and atleast go a year without it to see how much I can accomplish with out being baked all the time
daily toker since 2013. it went from fun to addiction around 2 years ago. I don't think I'll ever give it up. not because addiction issues but purely because it's helped me with a lot of growth in life, i've weaved myself out a lot of internal situations because of 420. because of 420 I have a new career path, i'm out of a relationship I wasn't aiming for, personally I'm a better human, i'm more spiritual than ever. those are the positives. negatives? I get stuck blanking out, I eat like trash because of the food cravings, the paranoia 420 can give you when you first take a hit, the negativity that follows that initial hit, time flies when you're high, sativas and indicas had no real difference, the most telling point i needed to stop was when I didn't care that I was using the ATM. when you start throwing away $3 on top of the purchase just to get a fix is when you gotta break away for a bit. success is built off of habits. that's all a great life is. the right habits. i'll forever love what 420 has done to me. I can 100& say that 420 has made me an incredible human being. but ever since the paranoia kicked in and overuse of ATMs i had to take a break. thx for this video. to anyone out there............... YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE IT UP 100. life is great in any perspective sober or stoned. but when "IT" controls you, you gotta correct that. IT can be anything from food cravings to "IT" cravings. peace
I only smoke blunts for the past 5 years. I started vaping in hopes that it will help me quit weed. It’s a bad to switch one habit to the other but it’s a step👍🏽
Today is day 21/3 weeks I feel great man, weed messed up my relationship with my mother she couldn't trust me anymore, now she's slowly seeing how I'm trying to change. I feel positive about this journey, I relapsed so many times before, it was hard for me to quit. I've been having vivid dreams, I haven't had withdrawals since I quit and that's good.
Keep up the work man! I kicked weed too after I blew over 2k I looked at myself and said I can’t let this plant control my life. If anyone thinks they can’t you can I’ve been smoking for 10 years. It sucks but you just gotta believe.
Just subscribed, thank you for giving you perspective, it was very helpful. I'll definitely be using some of your suggested mantras and looking at this as a positive change. I'm trying to take a 6 week tolerance break, I'm at day one today.
I stopped smoking weed 5 days ago after 6 years. Still smoking cigarettes tho but going to quit that to eventually! Good content g 🔥 So from The Netherlands💯
@@ShotbyLucasFilms yeah man, they have some fire quality weed over here. But thats over with. I’m 6 weeks sober now and im feeling better than ever! Thanks for the video man, it helped me a lot🙏🏾💯🤍
Side note: I’m 22 years old from u.k 🇬🇧 after nearly 10 years of smoking weed (yeah I started young 😂 but it’s probably been the past 5-6 years where it’s been an everyday thing) just wanted to thank you for making this video I’m sure it’s helped multiple people including myself to keep going 🙌🏼 #NonSmokerMindset
Wanted to quit for a t break but after watching your video i think imma leave it for good. After quiting weed im gonna quit smoking cigs too. Thanks for the motivation

The message I got from weed- 2017 sophomore year in highschool 178 lbs 6ft qb already had 2 promise letters to colleges & everything going for my self. Transfers schools smokes weed junior year becomes everyday smoking led to skipping school led to dropping out led to 23 no degree have to be around people you don’t like has to work everyday for the man who went to school who sits and does little to nothing… my message was it controlled me to the point where I feel like it was yesterday whenever I was in high school when reality it was 5 years ago. Weed has kept me in the same state as I picked it up in 2017 and I seen it did the same to others I grew up with who picked it up like how I did
Write your goals down , it’s a mindset game. A constant one..... look forward to your clear dreams and things will just start to change for you. You will be Resonating at a higher frequency.. You got this !
I’m 18 had to go to the hospital 5 days ago bc of my heavy smoking everyday cart after cart laziness and junk food take it from me guys I was very dehydrated and my chest was hurting and my neck was hurting? Your life always comes first🙌🏼
Been smoking weed everyday since I was 16. I turn 23 in 2 months and I’m week 1 in with no weed. Surprisingly no withdraw symptoms apart from cold sweats! Edit: I would smoke on average 2 grams a day from 18 years old + Edit 2: on December 1st I’ll be 1 month in no weed. Starting to feel super clear headed in mornings and I’m dreaming again. I also feel much more alert during the days and I’m getting much more work done!
Teoman Tutar I stopped for 2 months exactly on New Years but as a one off I smoked with my boys. I haven’t smoked since New Years and I don’t plan on going back to it how I did. I’ll only smoke on occasions like a party
@@byBlazing That's what I also do my guy. I stopped smoking regularly. I only smoke like once a month or once every 2 months it really depends. And when I smoke, I don't smoke that much.
The biggest hurdle for me was feeling so bored at night when I was by myself. I was so used to smoking up and listening to music or watching something and the weed made it 10x better or more real if that makes sense. I learned how important it is to not get so used to the “weed brain” way of experiencing things and appreciate moments while sober.
I have the same problem here, the way i tackle that problem is by simply just going to sleep early so i dont get bored at night lol

Thank you!!!! That means a lot to be honest🙏
Hey Lucas, amazing videos and extremely motivating for who’s trying to quit as well. Is great to see a success case to get inspired on. Nowadays is not easy to find someone who’s giving a real opinion based in facts and experience. Keep it up!
Just threw my remaining supply away. I started my business the last time I quit. Then I got comfortable and started smoking again. This time around was worse then the last time, I was smoking all day long. The business is still doing good but Ive noticed my motivation and drive slipping. Apprecaite the video! This time is for good!
same man i feel way more better without it
Damn bro. Such an inspirational video. By far the most motivating and detailed video I stumbled on so far.
I'm on day 6 right now.
This is my second attempt, the first one lasted about 2 years.
But for me it is the first time I am quiting without any help.
Your video is just what I needed to hear today, so thank you for that.
I’m on day 1 and I got in a huge fight with my mom this morning. I’m super irritable and angry but I now know thx to your video that it’s just a withdrawal symptom and that it’ll pass. Thank you.
Edit: I also quit vaping a few days ago as well so I’ll have to battle two addictions.
God Bless 🙏🌌 You’ve got this !!!
Brother I'm Amost four weeks in . Feeling Greta miss it once and while but def it's okay keep grinding every day easier . We in this together
I'm on day 2 of no cannabis. I'm irritated. lol trying to fight it. After I'm a month clean I'm going to ditch vaping next.
Watched so many of these types of videos and I haven’t really connected too speaker. You seem like a humble guy and you didn’t write down a script of every word to say. Definitely seems like one of the more down to earth videos that makes it seem like I’m not watching some school video on drugs😂. I’m only 5 days in but have smoked for 8 years as well so it’s tough. Thanks for the support man and If you see this you’re a cool guy🤙🏼
You’re a cool guy for the support 💪💯 I’m honored to be a part of your journey
Great video bro! Im on day 8 of 30, and I'm looking forward to all of the benefits you listened. Good advice for those who're looking to make a positive change.
How did it go
yea tell us how did it go
you're so right about having vivid dreams. i stopped smoking about almost a week ago after i had my surgery.(been smokin for 4 years straight) today i dreamt and when i woke up, i like almost remember every detail of the dream i had and remembered it throughout the day. pretty trippy but it just goes to show you that hey, your brain needs air flow. give your body a rest.
It definitely does, awesome‼️💪
Thanks for sharing your story brother. Last year I managed to quit for 3 months, but ended up starting again. I'm currently on day 4 of quitting, and I hope to make it longer than 90 days this time. Thank you for sharing and not being afraid to show vulnerability, stay strong everyone !!
How was your first joint after the long t-break
@@ceccoangiolieri3430 really strong weed, so I only smoked about 1/4 of it. But I was totally couch locked for 2 hours after
Just remember everyone is different. When I quit weed I had terrible withdrawals(anxiety, depression, angry, no appetite, foggy mind, threw up). I had zero cravings and never coughed. I really wish scientists would study this more so people could understand this.
How do u feel now?
I'm 28 days and my dreams are wild
@@EyezSpyz did u make it
@@GoonieHunter yes sir i did! havent touched it since! thanks mate! last day was the 24th of feb! was havoc af with the dreams but now living the sober life! boooooring aha
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been trying to quit for a long with many failed attempts. I’m trying again now. Tomorrow is Day 1!
I quit weed, alcohol, nicotine (I’d smoke when drinking sometimes), and caffeine for a few days. It’s been five days now and I already feel the irritability. What I used that was very helpful is naps during the day, drinking water, pineapple skins for teas, push-ups, and breathing exercises (Wim Hof hybrid method on TH-cam). My energy levels seem higher now than as if I was high. I love that I feel everything, very raw. If you can reach out to friends or random friendly strangers, do it. It helps get perspective on life from others to drive you through this journey. Hope this helps.
I Love it, God bless !!!
I stopped smoking to get it out my system for a job going on to 2 weeks and i feel good i can say the first couple days was extremely hard to sleep for me
Today is my last day before quitting. I’ve been smoking everyday for the past 4 years. Nicotine and weed. I quit nicotine a few days ago and now I am weed. Weed is a wonderful thing, but unfortunately it took all my motivation and drive away and just made me lazy. Used to be in sports and very active. Now I just sit behind a TV all day. I’m excited for this journey. Wish me luck fellas.
Your a real one bro! .. I can hear it in your voice you speaking truth bless OG...
Much love, I appreciate that 💯
thank you so much for this video man from the bottom of my heart i am so fuckin grateful to hear this shit. I just cant continue to live my life smoking everyday and getting nothing done. I made a whole music studio that cost 2K and its been collecting dust for 4 years because all i do is smoke and stare at a wall or a screen half of the time now. I've completely lost myself in this cycle and im losing my mind. It's the worst feeling in the world for me i just feel so trapped and so fuckin stupid. But you really helped calm me down and I realized i keep thinking of quitting weed as like a hard thing and a negative challenge but I need to be positive about it. Gonna watch more videos like this and remind myself I'm not alone and I can change. I'm about to be 22 I still have a lot of my life ahead of me and I remember when I used to think I could work hard enough to save the world. I just want to be myself again and be normal without having to smoke weed
You’re welcome, I wish you nothing but the best!!! Separate yourself from your thoughts‼️
My senses are so much better now i can really dig deep into "active listening" on video games i feel like my iq as far as awareness has increased back to the norm or even better.
You mentioned: "I was offered a one hitter etc" "its legal in your state so you could just go in buy" &&&& i reallyyyyy felt the pain & i know youre intelligent because i as well felt the "combination" of weed & nicotine. bro it is defffff the blunts mixed with the weed. especially smoking on a 2x 3x a day basis...man you Quit on your own terms GOOD JOB!
Thanks for this brother. I've been searching vids on HORRIBLE dreams after not smoking. This is the hardest part for me sofar along with episodes of crying like a beotch for no reason. I'm 41 and been smoking since i was 13 or 14 so the crazy dreams are in overdrive. I hope they calm down soon bc most of mine envolve paranormal stuff that freaks me out days after the dreams. Much love bro
Your brain is catching up on all of them Lost/suppressed REM sleep!! It’s a great thing!!! 💪You’ve got this
Im on my second serious attempt... i managed 6 months before and then relapsed... I told my self I could control it and do it in moderation... before i knew it ...scoring ounces again hitting bongs day and night... `i remember my first smoke after that 6 months... it was so strong i felt like a noob again...infact i hated the feeling until my tolerance raised... then fell straight back into my old routine... anyway... this video is a great motivator... we are not alone in our struggle :)
Nice work buddy. You know it’s funny... I’ve smoked for about 16 years straight since I was 17 every day, I’m 33 now... and have only quit on my own free will one time. This is the 2nd. First time was a couple years ago... I truly wanted to quit so bad for years I would tell myself ok ima smoke all my weed tonight and quit tomorrow. Then I would wake up mad and not be able to control my addiction give in, go buy weed and then smoke and feel guilty. It’s funny because when you’re young in your addiction, you feel no guilt, you think you’re gonna smoke weed for the rest of your life. Until you realize, you’re not where you want to be at this point in life. Not following your dreams, not what you envisioned. When you get to this stage, at least for me... you feel guilty every time you smoke. Well the last time I quit, I did amazing... for about 9 months I turned down everything had great control, and I don’t know why but one day I thought I could smoke a little to deal with some stress, which I did.. didn’t even enjoy it actually hated the feeling cuz I was so high and had no control over my mind.. but for some stupid reason.. I smoke again a few days later way less. Long story short, I turned into a full blown pot head again... even started growing! At this point, I was smoking so much I was comatosed every day couldn’t even function...and was depressed af just not getting shit done. Luckily I’m doing well financially and got into day trading and learned the ropes of that, but I know without the weed I can just LIVE SO MUCH BETTER. Well I wanna tell you and anyone else reading this.... the ONE thing that helped me quit last time, as well as this time (1 week clean again) was actually watching and listening to videos of people going through the same exact thing. And like you said, when you change your perception about what it is to quit, and think of it as something great... this is what changed everything for me. One video in particular I’m sure you’ve seen it... 60 reasons to quit smoking weed by Tristan W. When I actually listened to ALL the benefits and things I would gain from quitting it changed my whole outlook on quitting. And as I would watch videos like this of people who have kicked the habit and feel amazing, it really gives you another outlook on life. I have invested in an entire production studio, thousands in camera gear, recording equipment all to follow my passion, and was so fucking lazy I wasn’t getting what I wanted to get done. And after discovering and falling in love with the sport of skydiving... I decided that’s it. I’m done for good. Jumping out of a plane was one of the most amazing things ever, and now wanting to get my license and eventually my own gear.. well that’s about 10K just in itself. I’m so done with smoking this time. I’ve been coughing up the nastiest shit the last week, finally not as much.. but I just wanted to say you’re doing a great thing making videos like this for people who just don’t really know how or have been stuck in the weed loop. Like you said it works for some people, but when it doesn’t work for you, you know it. You feel it. And I think the easiest way to help someone quit is to change their perspective on what quitting will bring into your life in the short/long term as you said.. as well as watching videos on TH-cam of other people who have quit and seem amazing benefits/life changes. I still chain vape all day on my vape juice which is next. I want to quit vaping so bad because I get heart burn from vaping so much it’s literally as if I can’t put the damn thing down. I seen you made some video about quitting vaping or something so I’m gonna go watch that now. Hope all is well with ya buddy and if you even were able to read this whole long story of a book I commented I appreciate it lol. Stay up bro
Bro I read that, much love to you 💯🙏🔥 Ditch the vape- don’t be a statistic to this new E-Cig market . With your mindset - I know you’ve got this 🙏
I can relate through ur experiences
Same history here. I'm 30, and i've been chained to weed since I was 16. Several tries of quiting in the past but never realy picturing myself living without weed for the rest of my life.
This time I feel is for real. I've been holding myself to only getting high at nightime with the excuse that it helps me sleep well, but I spend the hole day craving for nightime to arrive. It lost it's magic long time ago. Feels more like weed is using my more than the oposite.
Today is one week clean, It's been a hard one. 4 to 5 lucid dreams and nightmares a day, bad mood, strong cravings for getting high.
For me what has really helped this time is to give away all my weed so I can't set an excuse and use it.
Hopefully I'll be a dad soon. Really needing this change.
¡Congrats to everybody getting out of the weedloop!
this comment is helping me and you are so right ... thank you
take care, day trading will get you depressed af someday
Wallahi this is on point
Quit weed and nic cold turkey still going
Feels good to be a human
Need to do the same and dealing with vitamin d deficiency
I stopped a week ago. Still sleeping badly, lack of concentration, a little irritation and sometimes a headache. But I won't give up because I want a healthier life. I'm a yoga teacher and ganja doesn't match (nothing against those who like it). Besides, I like hiking and I want to have more energy. Thanks for the video, there are many people in the same situation who need to hear this.For those who think weed it's not addictive, there are more than 50,000 people trying to stop and having withdrawal crises (I saw this in a support group on reddit).
never gona smoke again
that's the promise I made to myself
How did it go friend?
Much love to both of you 💯💯 Hearing everyone’s stories and connecting this amazing planet makes this all worth it
@@adamdespot4159 honestly at the time after 40 days I got back into smoking for few months
And now I’ve quit for 21 days and really don’t plan on going back to smoking weed.
Semen Retention really helped with withdrawls and having the discipline to quit 💯
@@Nvrsl how does semen retention help?
@@adamdespot4159 it really works it’s crazy how it works
First thing first it increases testosterone which is a big factor in mood

Also Mark The Mentor on youtube 💯
You should be so proud of yourself my man!! Your building a lot of grit getting off something thats addictive and gaining that discipline that most people dont have nowadays. Thanks for your motivation and your quitting journey! 10 more days until 30 for me! And remember, if you go back you have built the basis for what your coming back too. God bless❤️🙏🏻
30 days! I'm super proud of you. That's awesome.
Man I love you!! thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm on day 2 and its not fun at all so glad u searched this on youtube and found you!
Thank you for yr video man. It has helped me I've been smoking for close to 20 years and now enough is enough. Once again thank you for yr open and honest account on giving up weed. On I go now👍
day 5 man and feel good, been smoking 30 odd years on and off, mostly on - gave up drink years ago and now it seems a fog has lifted, sobriety isnt half as bad as i imagined
Thanks for this honest post!! Very Much appreciated! Alan Watts is awesome. Bummer how he exited his human avatar! Bless your new life Broth3r!
God bless & much agreed my brother ‼️
First day of not smoking in weeks. Quitting weed/nic all of April (except for 4/20 of course). I realized that I needed to set my priorities straight so that I can dedicate my time to improving myself instead of getting high all the time
Thanks for sharing your story... It helps more than you know. Sending positive vibes and wishing you the best, also excited for your bright future!
Sending you positive vibes back 💪💯 Much love I appreciate it!
@@ShotbyLucasFilms It's been almost 3 months now, seriously thank you again
Stay motivated, great video
Thank you brother 💪💪🏾 much love
I wanted to do it on my own terms like a boss, couldn’t have said it better, thanks for the help✌️🙏
thank you for the support ! A new series coming soon “strive to improve” and episode one drops tonight!
Accurate in my opinion, articulated well. Solid video. You’re on the right path young buck keep it up!
I was a daily smoker since 13 I'm 22 now I quit for like a month and half then started again today is my day 2 lol gona try and atleast go a year without it to see how much I can accomplish with out being baked all the time
How u doin now
You can do it....
daily toker since 2013. it went from fun to addiction around 2 years ago. I don't think I'll ever give it up. not because addiction issues but purely because it's helped me with a lot of growth in life, i've weaved myself out a lot of internal situations because of 420. because of 420 I have a new career path, i'm out of a relationship I wasn't aiming for, personally I'm a better human, i'm more spiritual than ever. those are the positives. negatives? I get stuck blanking out, I eat like trash because of the food cravings, the paranoia 420 can give you when you first take a hit, the negativity that follows that initial hit, time flies when you're high, sativas and indicas had no real difference, the most telling point i needed to stop was when I didn't care that I was using the ATM. when you start throwing away $3 on top of the purchase just to get a fix is when you gotta break away for a bit.
success is built off of habits. that's all a great life is. the right habits. i'll forever love what 420 has done to me. I can 100& say that 420 has made me an incredible human being. but ever since the paranoia kicked in and overuse of ATMs i had to take a break.
thx for this video. to anyone out there............... YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE IT UP 100. life is great in any perspective sober or stoned. but when "IT" controls you, you gotta correct that. IT can be anything from food cravings to "IT" cravings. peace
Very interesting perspective my brother 🙏 Wish the best to you
By ATM do you mean automatic teller machine? I don’t get it what’s wrong with that? And what do you mean throwing away $3 on top of the purchase?
Day 1. this helped bro :)
i quit 2 weeks in the dreams are vivid
Like a boss. I like that. Congratulations 👏🏼 your mind is so powerful! Kudos for that my man 💪🏼🍀👍🏻
I only smoke blunts for the past 5 years. I started vaping in hopes that it will help me quit weed. It’s a bad to switch one habit to the other but it’s a step👍🏽
Great video brother, I sensed the authenticity in your words and it definitely helped!
Today is day 21/3 weeks
I feel great man, weed messed up my relationship with my mother she couldn't trust me anymore, now she's slowly seeing how I'm trying to change. I feel positive about this journey, I relapsed so many times before, it was hard for me to quit. I've been having vivid dreams, I haven't had withdrawals since I quit and that's good.
Your relationships with the ones that matter most will ALL improve !! Proud to have you a part of this community 💪💯
I watch your videos and they've helped me with my journey, you're doing a great job brother👊
8:37 exactly when you try to take a break, but everybody is trying to get you right😂

I kicked weed too after I blew over 2k I looked at myself and said I can’t let this plant control my life. If anyone thinks they can’t you can I’ve been smoking for 10 years. It sucks but you just gotta believe.
bro u look good and healthy damn,keep it up bro.6 days clean and counting!!
Just subscribed, thank you for giving you perspective, it was very helpful. I'll definitely be using some of your suggested mantras and looking at this as a positive change. I'm trying to take a 6 week tolerance break, I'm at day one today.

Side note: I’m 22 years old from u.k 🇬🇧 after nearly 10 years of smoking weed (yeah I started young 😂 but it’s probably been the past 5-6 years where it’s been an everyday thing) just wanted to thank you for making this video I’m sure it’s helped multiple people including myself to keep going 🙌🏼 #NonSmokerMindset
Bro that’s awesome, you’re going through major hurdles as we speak ‼️ keep it up man
And shout out to the UK!!!!

Wanted to quit for a t break but after watching your video i think imma leave it for good. After quiting weed im gonna quit smoking cigs too. Thanks for the motivation
I am completely inspired by you and your new double goal…. That is awesome!!!!

Thank you for this incredibly helpful video. I'm on day one.
You’re welcome, water and eating right are your best friends during these next two weeks or so 💯
Thankyou bro for the advice you explain it and give better advice then other channels
The message I got from weed- 2017 sophomore year in highschool 178 lbs 6ft qb already had 2 promise letters to colleges & everything going for my self. Transfers schools smokes weed junior year becomes everyday smoking led to skipping school led to dropping out led to 23 no degree have to be around people you don’t like has to work everyday for the man who went to school who sits and does little to nothing… my message was it controlled me to the point where I feel like it was yesterday whenever I was in high school when reality it was 5 years ago. Weed has kept me in the same state as I picked it up in 2017 and I seen it did the same to others I grew up with who picked it up like how I did
Could you think quicker and feel smarter once you gave it up ? And yeah smoking makes you feel comfortable when you shouldn’t be
Sober is the new stoner at this point
Thank you man. I'm trying. No booze. Pot and cigars all day every day
Message delivered. Appreciate ya !
Well worded gj boss!!keep pushing my g
💪💯
Awesome video man, definitely feel like I need these videos to stay strong
Write your goals down , it’s a mindset game. A constant one..... look forward to your clear dreams and things will just start to change for you. You will be Resonating at a higher frequency.. You got this !
@@ShotbyLucasFilms thanks for the reply dude, I really appreciate all the advice and your willingness to be open about your experience
im quittin this shit yo 💯✨🙏🌊
I’m 18 had to go to the hospital 5 days ago bc of my heavy smoking everyday cart after cart laziness and junk food take it from me guys I was very dehydrated and my chest was hurting and my neck was hurting? Your life always comes first🙌🏼
I’m just about to stop for a month on personal tolerance break 😂
Me too I need to stop
Great video brotherrr
Thank you 💯
after today i’ll finish my second week it’s easy asf no urges i’m waiting until after a month to start smoking again (i stopped for a T break)
Been smoking weed everyday since I was 16. I turn 23 in 2 months and I’m week 1 in with no weed. Surprisingly no withdraw symptoms apart from cold sweats!
Edit: I would smoke on average 2 grams a day from 18 years old +
Edit 2: on December 1st I’ll be 1 month in no weed. Starting to feel super clear headed in mornings and I’m dreaming again. I also feel much more alert during the days and I’m getting much more work done!
Still clean?
Teoman Tutar I stopped for 2 months exactly on New Years but as a one off I smoked with my boys. I haven’t smoked since New Years and I don’t plan on going back to it how I did. I’ll only smoke on occasions like a party
@@byBlazing That's what I also do my guy. I stopped smoking regularly. I only smoke like once a month or once every 2 months it really depends. And when I smoke, I don't smoke that much.
Teoman Tutar yeah bro no need to waste your life and do that shit everyday. There’s a lot more to life!
Great video, thank you
You’re so welcome
@ShotbyLucasFilms are you still free from weed and nicotine? You seem very smart, and you kept it real do I appreciate that.
Im on day 3 lol this videos helps a lot man. Thank you
Day 2 checking in...
42 days since the last time I smoked and what I realized was i didn’t even need to smoke as often as I did. I smoked mainly because I was bored.
Idle hands are devils playground
