- This video will show you Why I Stopped Smoking Weed and How it changed my life...
This video, I'm going to be sharing with you why I stopped smoking weed or marijuana, how I did it, and how it's absolutely transformed my life since I've done so. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now in this video I'm going to be sharing with you the why I quit smoking marijuana and how I did it and how it changed my life and baby. A perspective that you haven't heard before. Now, first off, let me say with this that I quit back in 2012, so it's been a while now, but I feel like I want to make this video because there's a perspective that I have with it that I think is a little bit different than you've heard of other people that may have talked about the same thing, how they used to do it and how they stopped doing it.
First off, let me say, you know, I live in Vegas. It's legal here, is legal becoming more and more legal other places. I'm not in any way saying that weed is bad or marijuana is bad. The question is not whether it's bad or good, I think the question is is isn't efficient and does it work for you? Because for a long time I was smoking and just to give you a little bit of a background on it, I used to have what is called Adhd, which means I was taking adderall so that I could focus which would like really help me focus, but the side effects of adderall where I couldn't eat very much and I couldn't sleep very much, so I took adderall for years. I worked a sales commission job at the time selling women's shoes and I remember I would take that during the day at work.
I'd be very focused. I would make a lot of money and then I would go home and at the end of the night it was. It would have trouble sleeping and I have trouble eating well. What takes care of that? Well, weed is something that when you do it enhances your appetite and it also enhances being able to sleep good. So what I would do is during the day I would take adderall. I would make money at work selling women's shoes at Nordstrom's here in Las Vegas and I would come home at night and then what I would do is I would smoke so that I could kind of wind down and get to a place to where I could eat and I could sleep. And I did that for a long for, for probably a year and a half, two years very consistently. And it worked at the time. However, one of the things I realized was that I felt like I felt like I was dependent on it as dependent on both the adderall and that of the weed.
And I remember just starting to get little signs. It was almost like little signs that there was other ways to go about this. And there was other ways that I could balance out my energy. And I remember I actually came across and found a, a, a, a research article on meditation and the powerful effects of meditation, how meditation can balance out the hormones. Um, and I was like, oh, that's cool because it's adderall is making me feel more dopamine. But then I'm crashing and I don't feel as good, and meditation is something I can do that I can balance myself out and there's only positive side effects, then why wouldn't I try that? So the idea was I'm going to try meditation. So what I did is I started meditating and at first I thought it was kind of annoying to meditate. I remember sitting down and a.
What I did is I started at a candle flame because I read that somewhere. If you started a candle flame, it keeps the eyes focused on one point. And when your eyes are focused on one point, your eyes aren't moving around. If you've ever heard that saying that when your eyes wander, your mind wanders. It's like every time your eyes shift, you have a new point of stimulus. So if you keep it focused on one point and it becomes much easier to focus. So what I did is I focused on that candle flame, that one point, and then the first day or two that I decided to learn meditation, there wasn't a huge difference because I was still trying to control my mind. I was like, can't think negative thoughts. This is also shortly after I learned that I learned that have the secrets and the power of it.
I was really starting to apply it in my life, which is like the law of attraction. So what I was thinking negative thoughts as I can't think negative thoughts. I was trying to block them out because I didn't want to manifest something bad, but what I did is a. by the third day I read somewhere and I just had this feeling that if I would just observe my thoughts and allow them to be there, that that would change a lot, that I would get a completely different result. And I remember that I made this choice...

Hey everyone! I was a bit reluctant to put out this video because I don't want people to think I am saying weed is "bad." At the same time I wanted to share my story in case it resonates. Much love!
Weed, alcohol they all not bad since you can balance.
Aaron Doughty it resonates so much! Thank you! 😊
Selling women shoes like Al Bundy and look where you are at now. You motivate me bro
COME TO LA!!
Aaron bro... weed actually raises your vibe... alcohol drops it... both cases depend on your mindset as always
When high it’s easy to Imagine quitting, when sober it’s easy to Imagine Smoking responsibly
BEST COMMENT
This is so facts
🎯
Nope I still drink and smoke
Yes, I trick myself all of the time when I'm sober... just one smoke on the weekend... next thing, smoking everyday again 🙋♂️
Weed most definitely has its pros and cons.. when the the cons out weigh the pros it’s time to let it go..
👌
😊
Lesson i had to learn the hard way
Ben some times the best lessons learned is finding out the hard way.
@@DaSmoothiest The lessons stick with you if you learn them the hard way.
I stop smoking weed 4 weeks now. Best I felt in about 8 years
👍
And people who haven't smoked in years and just started smoking could say the same thing.
Pimp Tilian I felt that
Nobody likes a quitter
Personaly I think the problem is that weed is in such a bad quality nowdays. It's just not the same weed we used to smoke.
I started having this insane anxiety attacks and constant thinking. That it doesn’t go away. I had to quit weed because my anxiety got so intense while high I thought I was going crazy. I been smoking heavy for 9 years. And stopped cold Turkey because something in my mental was just over whelmed and exhausted
This Is exactly why I stopped too
me too started having panic attacks from it after years of daily smoking
You need CBD
I have pretty bad anxiety and after a certain period of time of smoking daily, it got to a point where I was creating false realities because I got so anxious. If you have any mental health issues or anything like that I’m pretty sure weed makes them worse
@@Kbandz yea i quit and its been getting better
Today is day 3 without smoking. I've been smoking since i was 15. Im 26 now. When u done u just done.
I’m with you
Wtf why did u stopped.
Crazy stoner
I’ve basically quit too. Haven’t really tracked it, but I just haven’t felt the desire to buy any more.. same with alcohol.
what is it now? are you still clean or whatever you call it :) Ive smoked it for nearly a year and 8 months or so and want to carry on for a while longer but me and my partner are trying and want to quit. I was 28 when I started and had never heard of weed till when I was 24.
👍🏼👍🏼
Bruh...EVERYTHING you said...the fact that you started crying because of all the pent up emotions that you’ve suppressed by smoking weed, the guilt of not being “present” with family...this is so spot on!!!
This happened to me once when I quit for a week. Then I relapsed. Now I'm trying again. Been probably 2 years.
@@dent5672 You got this. I’m on my second time letting it go. Day 2. How are you feeling?
@@kittygrowl839 hope it's going good. It's day 2 for me and it's been kind of awful
@@confusedtruffle8555 how u feeling now? Day 4 for me I feel like shi
I cried toooo !!! No way !!!! Wowwwww
I smoked weed daily for around 5 years and quit. The reason I did was because instead of relaxing me and making me feel good it was doing the opposite effect! I would start getting anxious and paranoid and all my problems seemed magnified and blown out of proportion.
It has the same affect on me !! I used to never get that way but for the past year it’s been the case
That happened to me as well. Smoked every single day of junior year in high school, loved it. Took a break and tried to smoke again, it’s never been the same. My heart races and I just feel scared and sad that it doesn’t feel the same anymore.
@@drewbrittingham109 Do you know why that is? Do you think maybe it's the pesticides used? Or it just changing your body chemistry over time? Hope that makes sense!
@@Silverwaters05 Alteration in brain chemistry has crossed my mind, probably a combination of lots of things
@@B3Gingie its that new weed.its doing the same to me
Starting my journey today, pray for me guys
Yung Soul I quit about 6 days ago. Keep it up lets do this. Imma remember I replied to you. Ill revisit this page every now and then
Im 3 days off. 15 years of smoking with a few breaks here and there but this time im done for good i just know it
SAME AHH
Got my wisdom teeth out yesterday so might as well start
Dillon Hurley change ur profile pic brother it might trigger you too smoke
I up and quit cold turkey one day. I think subconsciously I knew I was done. It no longer served me in a healthy way..in fact it was holding me back and I was using it to escape. Quitting was one of the best choices I've ever made.
Kristine Plummer how did you cope with the uncomfortable feelings that sometimes follow quitting? like not being able to get good sleep / having crazy dreams?
@@earth2jade The dreaming stop after 2 week to a month .
When I went sober for 9 months the crazy dreams never went away they just didnt happen as often
I am on day 7 sober! Already feeling my anxiety and negative thoughts leaving my brain. I am so excited to start my journey as a sober man!
weed is not addictive i think your talking about METH
I stop smoking weed every time I run out. ;-)
MGV Media 😂😂
lol
MGV Media no bs 🤣
Lmfao
lol
This is my first week off of it. I wanted my life back instead of settling for temporary mood lifts. I am pursuing sports again too. Thanks for the video.
Bool Lar Massive Conn praying for u bro, I’m trying to quit too, I’m in my senior year of high school and I just want to be happier. I’ve always been self conscious and I want to get in better shape since I’m an athlete and all weed did was make me lazy. All it did was put my goals on hold for temporary pleasure. I want to stop daily use and maybe do it once every couple of weeks. Right now I’m on day 2
Bool Lar how are you doing?
Dirk Fade hey man I grew weed from the age of 16 to 24. I grew some of the rarest and most fire strains that you can get. There’s pretty much nothing better than what I was growing. I had absolute highest cleanest best weed. I had to quit smoking at 24 and to offset the weed cravings I started working out every day. My life changed completely I became the highest version of myself. My emotional intelligence went through. Stop smoking now. Don’t follow the crowd you will achieve massive success in your life. It’s rare for people to be sober. Just being sober you’re already ahead of 70% of the competition.
Christian Moreno that’s the goal bro, I’m starting to workout again but man it’s tough. It always is in the beginning, I hope I’ll be hitting the gym twice a day and not being miserable while doing so eventually
Christian Moreno Had to find a daily substitute activity that would help and so far I’m ok. I appreciate the tap in. 💯
I’m 18 and damn I really needed this, I’ve been smoking so much that I’ve been disconnected from reality and it’s took a toll on my body. I stopped taking care of myself and man it really shows, im stopping and trying to change my life.
Good for you :) I stopped for the same reasons after 10 years daily smoking.. wish I'd realised sooner but just glad I've stopped now!
Soft cock
lazaros lazarou you’re a weirdo dog shut up
Literally what’s happening to me rn, good job man
you are 18, you know NOTHING about reality yet my young friend.....NOTHING.
I been smoking weed since i was 14 and i'm 29 now and ever since I became familiar with the Secret (The Law of Attraction) some years ago i have been observing my mind and how i function under the influence and i always have felt its been holding me back.This video randomly popped up on my feed and now i know my thoughts weren't wrong...i'm going to try to quit...wish me luck
JDonis Rocafella same here
JDonis Rocafella good luck 👍
Please get rid of that book
Good luck mate. Start meditating as well, it will help
On board brotha
I smoked everyday for over 3 years and I’m now 10 days sober. I’ve not felt this alive in a long long time... Thank you for sharing your experience, it helps so much. I believe I can do it!
You can! 💪
Im high watching this but i want to stop.
Same here D W same here
Bro same , hard when it's source of income .
@@moi6torres953 then change ur source of Income, i bet u still ate when u didn't smoke. its all in the fucking mind. clear your mind
Same bro..
Same damn jajajaja
I've been a daily smoker for the past 3-4 years and I'm currently a week in! When weed became a hindrance to my personal goals I knew it was time to stop. Videos like this are helping me get through it. Thank you for putting this out.
Did you still quit?
What happened
Without it I’m more confident, alert, and I dream a lot...but I live how it relaxes my body and mind...I try to only smoke at night
When you smoke at night you still dream?
@@JuanEsteban999 mayb he meant dreamin when not asleep!! 😂😅
The Gujju Gamer nah honestly he might not have either i’ve heard weed affects dreaming
My dreams are always crazy when I get high. I usually smoke 15% to 24% joints. Bottom shelf. indica or hybrid.
@@JuanEsteban999 some people do.. i dont dream at all unless i quit for 2 weeks plus.. but when i do dream again they are so very real and vivid.. sometimes bad dreams... scary shit
I went through my awakening at the end of last year.. July 9th this year was my last puff after 25+ yrs smoking! Was also a big binge drinker and just stopped in February. I just don’t need them anymore and I love it!
How is this going a year later?
I love weed but ever since i started smoking my life started going downhill. Love it but not for me
Same here
downhill in what way? If you don't mind me asking??
@@juancruz8428 some people cant handle weed like others. They let weed overtake their lifes. Also strains have a lot to do with how it affects someone. Most strains people smoke are indicas or hybrids and those make it harder for one to focus on their daily lives
I wish everyone else feels this way about smoking this FAKE SENSE OF REALITY!
Day 1 after 20 years mostly daily. I'm 37 Aussie dude time to get my life back on track. Finding my excitement for life has all but dissipated. Weed has made me boring and too comfortable to sit in my room and smoke my days away. Wish me luck everyone. Time to seek discomfort and embrace the life I've been smoking away for far too long.
How’d it go?
It’s crazy how you were working a regular job before. Doing things differently, and now your vibration is so high and your able to influence and help people all around the world. Just from ONE person changing their life, you’re now changing thousands of lives.
Sara Okurrr that’s so beautiful 😍👏🏻❤️
appreciate you and I'm def grateful to do what I do :)
lol.. I didn't see the whole video, but you know that cannabis is one of the best herbs to use for healing? many people are gonna stay away from this wonderful medicine now and use pharmaceuticals because of this video, which is what the government wants. All you people change your life's too easily, watch a certain video and already wanna change your life lmao. I mean if you're a shitty person that sees cannabis as a drug and that's all you do, that's you being shitty, but there's many people that use cannabis on a regular basis and have good careers, families, etc, so most of the time is the person being a P.O.S not the plant. But yeah I definitely agree about you staying away from it cause I feel the plant is meant for wiser people. Those who see it as a drug shouldn't use it, stick to your pharmaceuticals bro.
@@alien-oo-_-oo5732 yes it's good for healing if you're at a lower level already but if you're already sitting at a higher frequency it does the opposite if you over use. I currently over use though lol I smoke like 3xs a day the past 7 years....
DUDE HE WAS ON ADDERALL lol. Working a regular job on adderall is probably easier than working a regular job sober. Not to mention he was just a really attractive young male selling women's shoes in a department store. Not much to that bruh.
I smoke..but i am open to let it go.
Tommy Forde that’s what I said until I kept doing it
What’s keeping you from stopping right now? Not that you should, just curious
Follow your heart
Chase Matthews weed makes you lie to yourself without even knowing it
its hard eh..
Shrooms cured my addiction to weed (and my anxiety as well). I was addicted to weed and didn't even realize it. Took Golden Teacher variety mushrooms, and once they hit, I just started talking and saying so much stuff about what I was doing wrong in my life. I was pretty much my own therapist for 5 hours, and everything that I was saying was true. It was a spiritual awakening for me, and very eye opening. I now have a completely new outlook on life, and I don't need any drugs (alcohol included) anymore.
You, my friend, had the perfect mushroom experience.
Enough time, space, security to really ghet into yourself and look around.
You did well, listening to them!
Shrooms helped me realize weed isn’t good for me anymore, they showed me that they reduce my clarity and much more
Funny when I was young weed reminded me of shrooming so I wanted to do it
I’m watching videos to get me motivated to quit but this guy makes me want to roll up right now.
Things that’ll improve your quality of life
1 - Meditation (listen to frequencies while meditating 396 is a good one)
2 - Sleep Schedule
3 - Cold Showers
4 - Don’t WASTE your energy (nofap)
5 - Eat Healthy or Healthier
6 - Spend time with nature (this is how you ground yourself to earth)
7 - Get rid of social media
8 - Exercise
These are just some of the things that have helped me improve the quality of my life. Before partaking in any of these my life was a mess but now I live life knowing I have a purpose. Hope this helped. Live it Up 💯
(there’s benefit videos of all of these on TH-cam)
EPICxXxPEANUT you know TH-cam is social media right?
Diablo Blanco he’s referring to Instagram, Twitter, and snapchat to a degree
Dirk Fade ik but he said get rid of social media and TH-cam is a social media and he on it. So technically he isn't following his rules
Diablo Blanco it’s not that deep
Dirk Fade it's not deep it's logic 😭
I will be 10 days sober as of tomorrow. I've smoked heavily for the past 4 years, this is the longest I've gone without it and am feeling absolutely amazing. If you're looking for a sign, this is it. You can do it. Much love to everyone struggling with addiction
When I stopped smoking weed, I realized I have MS (multipel sklerosis) so I'm sadly back on weed again. Don't judge me. So far, it's my best medicine.
Kristian Schalborg if it helps you fuck what ppl think man
Good luck 👍
If it helps you then you shouldn’t care what people think
Helps me with my CP so fuck people.
For me weed has more cons than pros but in your case it has more pros than cons so keep doing it if it helps you with MS
Boyfriend just died of an overdose. We smoked and popped pills a lot. I’m ready to stop allowing addictions to control me. I’m ready to be a new me...
Prayers up 🙏🏾
Its not a new you, you already was this person, just didnt act like it.🙌🏼
Damn....im smoking a blunt while watching this. Imma roll the last of my weed since im off today, smoke it up, and commit to stopping today. You made alot of really good points.💪😩💯
Update: havent smoked since i made this comment! Progress. 😌
Karrington Campbell keep it up!
You can do it!
Come back in 1 year when you havent touched weed.
@@MrCraigtoth Challenge accepted😌
Keep going! I’m routing for you! I’m on day three without smoking and feeling really optimistic! I was smoking every day for 6 years and wanted to stop so many times but always kept going back to it. This time it feels different, I feel like quitting is going to change my life for the better :)
Weed is a very simple substance. It gets you high. Then you sober up. I smoke about 3-4 days a week, the other days I'm sober. I'm in a constant ebb and flow of happiness with my life because I meditate as well and also am very content with my thoughts. I understand life and don't attach myself to my Identity. This was a neat video. Glad you're happy brother. Moderation is key to a lot of things in life.
BudbrothersYT man when I’m high I think about all the bad things in life for some reason. I feel like shit will never get better for me. I smoke thinking that it’ll just make forget about all the bad currently in my life but I think about it 10x more & worse when high
yes weed gets you a hight in minutes than hit you down on the ground
I related to your entire journey (weed, drinking, caffeine, meditation). It's amazing how really noticing your thoughts and raising your vibration turns you off from anything that lowers it. I got to a point where I would smoke and not even be excited about it, disappointed in myself even... Because i knew that i would feel less happy/energetic/actualized for the next day or so. Eventually i just stopped and I haven't looked back. (Going on 3 months completely sober and have never been happier!)
Yea your brain static isn’t strong enough, the frequencies in your brain don’t allow you to do certain things. Weed can cause one to also become skitzo! I do believe people need to know more about themselves before consuming any mind altering activity, honestly! If one can drink and maintain but can not maintain on cannabis, they are simply more of a beast than they think.
I quit smoking Weed 4years ago Now i smoke Marijuana

I'm trying to quit after almost 4 years of smoking everyday, it's my second day sober. I hope I can do this!
Ashley Roberts I’m in my first day good luck to u
Ashley Roberts change you hope to you WILL. Speak it into existence
And congratulations on two days sober!
Don't stop trying
I’ve lost nearly everyone I know because I stopped drinking and smoking, but I know I will find new friends who I resonate with, who are on the same path, higher frequency as I. Like attracts like. It’s not easy, our culture revolves around the idea that outside substances are needed to feel good. Thanks for this video and the comments to remind me that others like me do exist.
LOL
@ With a name like Sean O'Nilbud, you're probably from a family of alcoholics and "bud" even in your name, must be a stoner. I hope some day you figure it out. I'm sure your life is a mess (inside and out) Best of luck, really.
I’m about to give it a shot I’m 26 been smoking 12 years it holds me back I’ve know this 9 years
SacredG 93 Same
Law of attraction brother. Stick to what you know. And the right people will come. Believe in that!
I have consistently smoked everyday, in the morning, afternoon, mid-day, and all night for a year. I’m not talking about weed I’m talking about full on dabs. I’ve been 4 weeks sober and I genuinely feel a lot better even though it’s been so little. If you want to stop smoking you can, save your money!! Invest in your future and not temporary relief!
Great message!
Update: I quit for 6 months, paid off My car and started a savings. Definitely worth quitting!
@@alexacosta2140 my brother grows, so it's free. But I feel dependent on it, so it's time to let go.
@@lyndsieannette957 I’m happy for you 🙏
@@alexacosta2140 needed to hear this bro. Thanks!!
I stopped some time in November and lasted a solid month sober before returning to it “for special occasions” around Christmas time which then quickly turned into a daily thing once again. Recently however, i have been able to tone it down severely. That sobriety month though, was one of the best months recently in my life. I have to say that i feel like i needed to watch this video and thank you for making all those valid points. I’ve had countless occasions where i ask myself why i’m still doing it , one that literally happened yesterday and I may have to quit once and for all. Let’s all become the best versions of ourselves !!!
I finally quit smoking (and drinking) and it is one of the best decisions ever for me. Some people may benefit from it but it all comes down to the person and moderation.
Definitely high vibes now!
Love the video! Thanks for sharing and creating🙏🏽
Where all my non-smokers at!?
Jordan Suber not here bro but respect quitings hard even for drinking 💯
hereeeee
I’m quitting again for the 3 time , this time I promise I will never go back to it again .
@@IMABUZdid u?
the best thing anyone can do for their health is to eat right exercise and get plenty of sleep
And meditate
Stay away from caffeine too.
Get your vaccine, lol.
@@gmosaza lol not a chance
When I quit, my dreams become so much more vivid and my ability to recall them increases. I quit for several months and then started up again. I'm about ready to quit again ( prefer myself when I'm not stoned all the time ). Thank you for this video!
I'm right behind you, within days! It helps me to set a date, even if it's less than a week away...all mental I'm sure. And sometimes it takes a few nights for my dreams to return to "normal", but it could be because I have difficulty sleeping for the first 5 - 7 days nights ( withdrawal) . It's well worth it for the dreams though. My most amazing dreams and journeys have happened while abstaining, or at least the ones that I recall. Wishing you tye best if luck and happy dreaming 💜
I quit smoking 4/18/2019! I have no problem with it , but for my spiritual journey, I found that it no longer suited me! I have since raised my vibrations and I feel a lot better!
Congrats some tips or advise for me to quite weed
Hell of a time to quit 2 days before 4/20
Richard Vargus I thought the same thing!
Same but I still smoke idk how to quit for good 👁👁😢🙏🏽🙌🏼
@@richardvargus7443 hahahha.
I honestly took my last hit before I started this video. As the video began I realized I was truly done smoking and for some reason watching this I began to cry.. before he even mentioned he cried. I knew it was my last time. I have smoked since 14 years old and I am 26 now. It’s holding me back. This video I found just by trying to find someone with the same feelings I was having. This is incredible and powerful and I hope others take it to heart the same way I did
Well done,it's nearly a year off for me and I feel a lot more clarity in life,not an easy thing to do ,the first few months can tough but end result is worth the challenge.
Vanessa Ronan thank you for the supportive words :) I’m already feeling better
Wow! This is crazy! I quit smoking and taking my Vyvanse yesterday! 😍 Please do more videos on this. I'm going through my spiritual awakening and your videos really help me.
that timing!
Me to I am at my 4 week maybe abit longer but still learning...love&light 💖🥀💖🥀💖
Wow!
The bi-product of meditation is liberation from dependants🌸🌸🌸
The Best of Discord nah, interdependent
The Best of Discord Jesus Christ- he might have been one of the few truly liberated from any dependents... well maybe for God. He seemed dependent on Him. I think it’s ironic that your user name is discord... unplugged. Maybe you’re the real one
Lol okay. But this new dependant does not have any negative effects. like smoking and drinking.. or does it now?
Let Go: Breathe I once heard Alan Watts that once you start doing to the purpose of the enjoyment you get out of it then it’s basically another addictive substance. You have to mediate without expecting anything from it
Let Go: Breathe the opposite applies in a diff way. If you start not enjoying mediation then you must use habit/grit to push thru the low points
Never thought I could quit. I’m on about 90 days now. And I’m just starting to notice the difference
good or bad difference?
Is it worth It
did you keep it up? I'm a year clean now after a 27 year habit. I'm soooooo high and creative and happy now, enormous difference!
How do you feel?
@@JAY-IGaming yes
I have quite different perspective.
Weed won’t ever lower your vibrations - unless you associated bad emotions to smoking weed. Just like everything in the life.
I know plenty of people who are on very, very high vibration and they are smoking weed. BUT.
Marijuana is a medicine - and you need to use it as a medicine. If you over do it - it can have negative side effects..
So the moderation is the key. Intention is the key. And trust me brother - weed can elevate you to very high state of being. Anyone who is not enlightened can benefit from occasional intentional smoking.
The plants are here to teach us. Use them as a teachers and be thankful for them.
For me - when I smoke weed I always get to know more than I knew before. And it could be because I have associated weed with my first eye opening - awakening moment in my life.
Weed can be truly life changing if you know how to work with it. Peace ✌🏻
Cole Adams Music Congratulations for 8 years being sober!
That’s very interesting- people usually don’t tend to be aggressive on weed. Maybe try to set up intention next time. It seriously makes a difference. Or even smoking CBD plants could relieve your pain.
BUT I have a good news for you - unless you tried it already. There is legit, natural and very consistent cure for chronic pain. Many people have reversed it.
Search on google for Wim Hof and then Wim Hof technique. This method cured a lot of people from chronic pain and a lot of autoimmune conditions. It’s a set of breathing techniques and cold exposure. Check it out, I think you will be amazed 🙂
purpleblue118 Glad to hear you had similar experience!
I love my marijuana rituals too haha!
She always keeps new secrets for you.
Research marijuana, the endocrine system, and natural killer cells. That will likely change your stance.
ngr3gorius It won’t. I always act upon my personal experience. And I know how marijuana completely changed my life to better. I owe this plant a lot.
I agree. Plants are here to teach us and can be extremely beneficial when used correctly.
Awesome
I quit weed in Jan 2019, I’ve been better without out it since, my whole life has changed, not going to say it was easy but listening to my inner voice , spiritual I’ve made leaps and bounds, I’m more productive, loving, caring, I’ve met the love of my life, because I wanted to change that one thing that was dragging me down and I lived a lie for a very long time. I really just became an all around better version of me. Thanks for doing this and love the Allan watts quote.
I’ve been smoking for a few years now but I’ve recently been wanting to stop to become a happier healthier person, this shit has made me believe it’s helped me so much when it’s really just brought me down and held me from doing what I love and I realize it’s time to quit as well
How is your journey going?
Recently just quit! And this video helped me realize smoking lowered my vibration to a place where I over thought everything more than when I did sober, it feels like a breathe of fresh air , this video definitely helped give me some inspiration
First of all thanks Aaron for your honesty! I recognize the pattern in your story. I drank for the last 10 years almost every evening 4-6 beers and 1-2 joints. I felt stuck and came from a long way. Lived with feelings of shame, guilt and fear every day. At the surface I looked fine because i could mask it very well with my outgoing personality. Now I'm 30 and trying to change my ways. I took matters in my own hands and started with a six week plan. I haven't had a beer in six weeks and are now allowed by myself to drink only when going out with friends. I feel the vibrance that you discribe. It's making me restless, a feeling that i have to turn into action. At the moment I'm at day 2 of quiting with weed. That's how i found your video, i Needed motivation.
It's a big reaction but I know there are more people that are in the same situation. I felt stuck in live, I was doing 'okay'. But 'okay' wasn't enough for me. I needed to hit rock bottom in order to climb back up. And yes i hit rockbottom about two years ago... Dropped out of college, burn out, stuck in a viscious circle of negative feelings. And than... I had to drop de charade, the mask. And when I started to be honest about my problems and learned to talk about them. I felt more honest to myself and the people around me. It was a big relief and i discovered that my problems had the right to be there.
The thing I learned and can give as an advice, If you want to quit, quit. No matter what your enviroment says. Some people will be supportive, some will laugh. But If you feel you took a wrong turn in life by using. You keep living with guilt. And guilt is a very destructive feeling. I know there is a chance i can fall back in my old ways, thats why i write short memoires of the day every evening. So I can rely on them when i forget why i do it this way. Kinda like your meditation example. Anyway I wanted to thank you in this comment but all of a sudden i could't stop typing. To everyone out there dealing with the same stuff. I lost my uncle recently from a heartattack. It had nothing to do with drugs but still it made me very consience of life. Our time is limited on this little blue ball and do you really want to waste it away by being high or tipsy every day? Very well its 22.00 coffeeshops closed up. I made it!
I'm now at day 35 of not smoking, i feel better now than in years. I'm having clear thoughts and the way that i think is the way i felt ten years ago. My confidence grows and Im better in my work. I feel I can place my emotions and thoughts in a better perspective. Must say it's been a struggle... sleepless nights in week 2,3,4 that was the hardest part. Lots of anger en conflict at work. But since this week i slept better, go to the gym 3 times a week and the people around me, also nice women react differently to me, in a good way! XD Also im starting to see chances and opportunities again, my ambition seems to come back too.
I also stopped smoking weed about a year ago. It really changed my perception. I used to sit all day smoking, eating, my life was exactly the same all that time. I already felt like my time wasted. Dear people, there is a way out of the box, believe me there is. Since I don't smoke weed I've started working more on the things I love, I've got my first IT projects to work on, I can be happy without it, I can see life from conscious perception, I eat less and gain less weight. Don't waste your time. Life is one, you never know which day will be the last, make it a perfect and conscious day. There is a lot of benefits out there.
I started to smoke with my boyfriend, I used to be really close to my mother and father and I am now very distant and I see her cry and beg me to stop, I would love to recover my family back and quit this addiction
She cries and begs you to stop smoking??😂😂😂 how white is your family 😂😂😂
Thats not weed ur smoking
I smoke everyday Aaron and a psychic I spoke to said it was holding me back . this just changed my life and my vibration!
Breanna Darrow 👍👍
I've been told this too. Many times. Going to start listening from now on.
A "psychic"
Breanna Darrow I’m in the process of quitting and already I feel catapulted forward.. ascending rapidly 💖
Psychic....lol. people do that shit still?
Just finished week 1 of a month long tolerance break and honestly might go for a 80 year tolerance break
Thank you for sharing your story! I used to smoke weed daily, but as I started to do the spiritual work and raise my own vibration and follow the calling I’ve always felt.... weed does nothing for me. It actually makes me feel depressed now.
True 👍
“Freedom carries sacrifice, remember when this was my life” ✊🏼
I’ve been wanting to chill from smoking and this definitely helped. Thanks man!
I'm high on life. Weed doesn't FEEL the same. Its like your MANIPULATING the feeling.
The Freedom Universe that is beautiful friend ;) ❤️💯
how did you get to that state??
High on life till the day we die!
savanna love The Universe created the plant/herb/weed though. I drink green tea/herb/plant. I also drink water that the universe created.
What makes you high on life? Can you give some examples why you’re high on life? What things you do that provokes your highness? Can you explain the actions, and your causes and effects you’ve experienced? Etc...
My weed finished two days ago. And I decided stop smoking. Good timing Aaron. Thanks darling.
Sandrine Sacre what a coincidence
Day 2 and struggling smoked for over 10 years really want to carry on my moods are all over the place 😩😩 pray for me 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Absolutely resonated soooo hard with this. Divine timing 🤩 and I have been struggling to get myself back into meditation and instead have been finding myself abusing weed and just literally zoning/dazing out or staring into space. Thanks so much, message received. 🥰🙏
This was 4 weeks ago... How did you go? Any luck?
This is awesome 😎
Stephanie the candle flame idea seems like a great point. I find it easier to meditate when I go outside as well.
yeah lifes a bitch. got to be motivated. weed makes me want to sleep, happy, sometimes more energy depending on when i smoke n how am feeling, etc. how ya doing?
owo..
This resonates so much. About a week ago I was feeling so good and then I smoked weed and I felt completely different. It was as if my vibration went down a lot. Yesterday I was feeling anxious, took like 3 hits and I felt good. I’m not longer going to smoke weed when I’m already feeling good. This was so helpful. Thank you
Know the difference between Sativa and Indica, as they are quite opposite. If you don't like feeling anxious or sped up from Cannabis, you need to search out Indica only strains or Indica dominant hybrids. If you experience lack of motivation and energy from smoking, you want to try a Sativa Dominant strain. Notice the differences, then adjust your hyrbrid % one way or the other to find the right strain for you.
I am smiley while watching this because am embracing my sober state. I’m proud to say I don’t do hubbly anymore and it’s going to be like that for a long time. I noticed that ever since I stopped doing hubbly... I no longer procrastinate when it comes to getting work done! So what your saying is absolutely correct! And thanks for referring to the book. 🤸♂️🙏
I smoked weed everyday after work for 4 years. I always knew I could quit whenever I wanted, so I finally decided to quit it 2 weeks ago because it was holding me back from being productive and going forward in life. I don't plan on looking back on it.
I smoke after work too not everyday but most, when I run out of weed I’ll start getting an urge to buy more when I get that urge I take a brake completely ( a month or two) cos when I start depending on it like that I know that’s an issue, i havent smoked in weeks and I do want to but I don’t I want to stop completely. Plus the urge to smoke only lasts 2/3 days so people that say weed is addictive are wrong. Where as cigarettes I could never just go cold turkey that’ll take WORK
Just make sure the weed isn't the main resource for your body's dopamines and all ither feel good stuff. It is addictive in the sense that when you get your dopamine(happyfeeling) from weed you will not notice the happyfeeling from anything anymore or way less wich trains your brain you dont need all that other stuff to be happy and thus become completely addicted to weed. What i will say however when you stop , and you do enough other normal things wich give you these dopamines ,the addiction will go away fast. You cant be addicted to weed but you can be addicted to the easy way of releasing dopamine, replace it with s9metjing else that creates dopamine and you'll be fine
M Love everything you said.. on point ! To the T
Weed makes me vibrate higher and allows me to go deeper in meditation. Its also helped me clean up all my bad habits. Whether it's bad or good is all in your head
I agree. Ive noticed it helps to put me in a deeper meditative state. People just really need discipline and moderation.
@@Silverwaters05 yea it can be mentally addicting but if youre determined to use weed as a tool for self betterment then it wont be addicting. I also us weed on leg day, when I jog, box, and sometimes when I do yoga
My crackhead uncle told me when I was little "nothing better then a natural high"
Wow❤️
You can be high with imagination and connexion with your soul , nature , univers, god , angels wtv , making emotions with yourself no need to anything from this world, we are enough guys ,
When you said "smoking / drinking brought you down". I remember after I took a 8 month smoke break I mastered this boss in a game. ( Vorkath OSRS ). But I started to smoke again and could barely beat the boss I worked so hard to master.
*THANK* *YOU* for this video!!!
I've been smoking weed for the past 3 decades straight - I can relate to every word you spoke in this video.. I quit drinking and never looked back, I *need* to do the same with smoking!!
awesome! I've wayyyy cut back on the booze and have never felt better than now after quitting weed after a 27 year habit. It's like a major awakening, I thoroughly recommend if you haven't got there yet
I'm so bored without weed. I dont enjoy things as much. I stress more
I feel you, but if you think about it that’s not how life is supposed to be, you should enjoy life sober as it is :)
@@Tobbles1 yes I should
Deep meditation will vanquish that emptiness that you feel inside.
Joy Jackson i hear ya 💚
That’s a problem many smokers have. Things like going to the park to play with your little brother isn’t as enjoyable anymore. When we get to that point, we know it’s time to stop so let that felling go away and enjoy life as it is supposed to be!
Day 2 for me, and I feel depressed and lost. Weed has been my go to for the past 4 years. I smoked constantly everyday (3-4x), and all I can think about is fuck this, let me light a joint. But I know I can do this, I am not going to do it. This is hell, Cannabis is a very interesting drug, and yes it is very addictive. I wanna be a better person, I feel lost. I’m 22 and I need to motivate myself! Ive just put myself in a situation we’re I think it’s the only thing that will help me, and it’s not. I’m done. Day 2, I will keep you all updated !!
How is it goin
How r u?
Hey now don’t reach for the runtz
Where are you at now buddy

We appreciate you, Aaron 🥰 I got off of addy as well, 4 months ago. I now just own my natural energy! I feel so much more authentic , & love not having to depend on anything but myself ! 😁✨✌🏻 thank you for sharing your journey 😘 it truly helps others to see the power in ourself that has been in us all along!

savanna love I love your natural energy savanna! 😉
soul vice thank you my friend :) ❤️💯
Savanna love, love your name, my oldest daughter is named Savanna too, spelled the same. Thank you for sharing your story. I've been on addy now for a couples years due to gaslighting for 20 years. I set out the intention to slowly get off of them when the divorce is final and I'm more stable. If you dont mind me asking you, is there a trick to making it easier, and what can I expect? I'm nervous as I have become dependent on them daily.
Meditate , walk in nature , help people , hang out with people you love , talk to people you trust ...
Occupy yourself with writing good articles or reading books or doing any business you love ...
Best wishes from Lebanon. Sending love , joy and peace to all who read the comment ...
savanna love damn ur cute whats urr insta
It just falls away when you no longer ‘need’ 🙏🏻❤️
I'll smoke again when I'm in shape and rich I can't save shiet
Haha
blues watchin my exact mind set rn, I’m an athlete and I need to quit weed so I can tone up my body and be confident with what I got.
lazaros lazarou send me some

It’s been 24 days and I’m feeling good about my self 🙏🏾
You done so well! 6 days for me I feel better already
good job brother.. hang in there
I'm on day 6 and I'm struggling, feeling the desire big today to just go buy some
@@brittanymallory1642 don't do it ! Get past the first two weeks and you'll be out the storm and into clearer waters !
peter Ian staker I appreciate you saying that - day 7!
I’ve definitely been getting “the call” to quit... and also a calling towards meditation. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been a little intimidated to try it, but I have a feeling that it will be the catalyst that helps me evolve tremendously.
What’s the call?
It’s a Pull, a sort of thought in the back of your ear call it intuition or just your mind telling you subconsciously that it’s time to quit....idk how to describe it at all but I fully understand what she’s saying. I got “the call” too
Not quitting but have 80 day rehab every year.
I realized I had to quit weed when I thought my friend stole money from me that I never had 😭
🤣🤣
you might have been tripping on acid
I had a similar sort of experience after 26 years smoking dope... the paranoia and delusion can come in at any time, it's true, even when you're well accustomed to dope. Took me another year to quit after that but the delusion is HUGE wake up call
Literally rolling a blunt as I watched this abd I already know everything you said resonates with me. Im hoping this will be my last blunt 🙏🏾🤲🏾 ...the struggle can be real sometimes
I love weeed 😩 so im watching this ☺️
Mariah Burrell sameee lol
sameeee! lol
@@miajhaj right I feel you
Me toooo
It is what Weed did for him boom.🤗 therefore 😉 again weed cured someone. 💚
I smoked for 20 years, it was to avoid life. I guess when I started my Spiritual Awakening, without knowing that's what it was I quit.
There were things in this world, probably past lives too that I needed to face. Any kind of drug just numbs the pain instead of dealing with the issue.
Besides look at your house, saves a bit of money! Granted my father grew it so didn't cost me all the time no addictions of any kind really is part of getting to Enlightenment.
Hey man, you are so right! I am at that transition right now; old habits are giving way to new, healthier ones.. I always thought I would smoke forever, because I used to love it, but it's like an instant lowering of vibration, like I have outgrown it... It's beautiful.. Thanks for your perspective mate.
Bro I've been smoking on daily-basis for more than eight years and finally its been two months since I am free. It hasn't been hard for me to quit so don't worry if you're willing to take the same path. It only brings negative thoughts, thoughts which you dont wanna have or never had before smoking pot. You will become better spiritually and a better human.
I stopped smoking weed today after it came between me and my mother. I became very rude to her but apologized. I blamed my actions on weed because I didn't have a blunt lit today. I have been realizing that I have a temper when I don't smoke weed. It has basically flipped my life to the point where I'm no longer serious with my studies. I have never been in a relationship nor a lasting friendship. I hope my action today of quitting will change my life. I'm also a new subscriber to your channel. Good content.
Peace
Salam akhoi
You blamed your actions on weed? That's weak, sorry. You are responsible for your own actions, not weed. Don't use weed as a scapegoat.
@@X-Cactus what he is trying to say is that he has been using weed to EMOTIONALLY REGULATE. Without weed he doesn't know how to regulate his emotions.
@@X-Cactus yeah ay you cant use weed as a scape goat, like that's just you beening rude then saying nah I haven't had my smoke today so that's my excuse nah yah just week
who gives af you freak
I started smoking in 1977, at 14, when my best friend invited me to camp out with his older brother at a lake. I've been nine days without smoking and two day's ago or on Saturday night I went out to a local club and had a much better time than usual. Weed dulls your senses, especially dro, and slows your mind down. I noticed Saturday night that I was much more sociable with the people and it made me feel actually good to see just how much weed was holding me back from my full potential. No red eyed, tired look and I had so much more energy and no nervous feelings. I'm having to walk around 5 miles a day now to burn off all the new found energy to be able to sleep well, but I'm determined to give it up for good!
Started my journey June 1st, feeling amazing. Definitely the best decision 🙏🏼
Happy 1 year how is your journey going ,?
I stopped smoking weed 3mnts ago...❤✌🏼
4 now

Thank you for sharing this Aaron, it was needed!!!!
Loved your co-lab Aaron what a teacher man
No it wasn’t
Never fully understood what Aaron was trying to say until he recommended reading the book Letting Go by David Hawkins. Totally life changing.
such a powerful book :)
A Lame book, by a lame. Atheists..... LOL
We have neighbors who smoke a lot of weed and I am so sensitive to even the smell of it. It triggers my allergies and gives me awful headaches. I hate the fact that now that it’s more common people are losing their common sense and smoke it around kids.
Ive smoked everyday and a lot of it since i was 15 and I am 20 now. Although i've kept all A's in college it was still not allowing me to do everything i wanted to do. Like when you're in a dream and trying to fly away but you can't fly, that is how i felt when i knew i had to do something as simple as making a doctors appointment or going online to sign up for something. I think weed is okay for people who can handle it every once in a while but my personality was right when i would wake up i would smoke a bunch to block any type of pain or feeling and just mindlessly go through the day without enduring anything bc i didn't want to actually deal with anything, i thought it was better to just be in a a sort of fog where I didn't really remember anything. If i got mad or irritated at something all I could think about is how i needed to smoke to get rid of the feeling. I would always say I needed to quit and then i would be like okay i'm going to quit when i finish this batch and then when i had about a gram left i would get really anxious and nervous thinking about not having any to smoke and would quickly get more. A few days ago i was high as fuck at 12:30 in the morning writing in my journal about how i need to stop smoking weed and i was like wait i don't even feel comfortable writing this bc i know i'm just going to pull the same shit i always do and just buy more when i run out. So for a solid 10 minutes i contemplated throwing away 8 grams and then contemplated giving it to someone the next day and thought about how i would feel the next day without it and i finally said fuck it and went downstairs and dropped all of it down the garbage disposal and i'm really happy bc i feel like so much in life has opened up for me and I literally just don't even want to smoke it anymore. I am pumped to start this new semester not being high during class and during tests and literally during every waking moment of life and actually experiencing life instead. YAYYYYYYYY finally
Marisa Zernach your gorgeous smoke you out sometime?
Same thing with me . Studying seemed more interesting on weed . But my memory recall suffered on test days and put me into a panic . Stopped smoking and can recall 10x better. Sounds like you where not playing when you got fed up ! 😄 If you ever desire it again put on some running shoes and run like hell , after the shower no more desire . Works for me !
This resonates so much. I stopped smoking weed during my spiritual awakening in 2011, I actually started getting physical symptoms like mouth ulcers and gnarly illnesses which I put down to smoking. I actually think it was my body's way of rejecting what it could no longer cope with. Once I stopped.. guessed what? My mouth ulcers and any ailments disappeared! Awesome video, as always... 😃👌🏼
Nice
After 8 year of daily smoking. I just stopped. I think when someone is ready...they will quit. I am sober 6 weeks now and starting to really enjoy sobriety and connecting with my young kids again instead of staying in my room while my family's life passed me by.
I made the choice to smoke at night and don’t allow myself to smoke during the day when I’m required to be more productive. I’ve taken it to a point where I see it as a bad thing even when tempted too and remember how debilitating it can be when you’re required to be on point. And little by little I’m smoking less all the while visualizing and feeling out how it’s going to be and feel when I no longer smoke.
So in short, you didn't smoke weed because you enjoyed it, you did it because you felt you needed a prescription to offset the Meth, I mean the Adderall.
I started smoking again this year after being away from it since 1987, and I find that marijuana helps me think deeper, and after it has worn off I think clearer. It also helps me to cope with depression. I feel more level and content when I've been smoking. I also enjoy the experience overall.
So different people do it for different reasons. You did it because you felt like you had to. I do it out of choice, first because I like it, and secondly because it helps.
The past is history the futures a mystery today is a gift that's why it's called the present. Today is the day
I like that. "Hang up the phone"
I think about this a lot when i was feeling forced to get clean from universal signs. "When u get the answer, hang up the phone"
I quit last week out of feeling like I was dependent on it and feeling like I am at a higher vibration with out it and out of love and being in tune with my body I quit. Thank you for sharing your story and being relatable. This has affirmed why I quit and gave my more reasoning on why it was a good choice and I can continue to not smoke.
I feel like weed is overrated. I'm sure there are people that benefit a lot from smoking but I think there are many people who are better off not doing it.
Allthough it's hard to neither smoke nor drink alcohol in our society
TWENTY YEARS. Did it ice turkey. Never going back.
