When I was 17, 18,19, the narrative that weed can't be addictive or harmful was still predominant. So I indulged, and got addicted. After a while, I didn't feel any of the nice effects, and just got extremely paranoid, lazy, depressed, and borderline psychotic. It's been 6 years and I'm never touching weed again.
Just on it's own or you mixed it with tobacco?
@@MrSoulsFull on its own.
@@AletheAce I think it definitely effects people in different ways. It's a shame there isn't some sort of test that people could take that lets them know if they can or can't do it.
I've been doing it for nearly 30 years.
I don't drink, smoke or do any other substances.
Respect my brother. Congrats on 6 years. Lmk if you ever want to come on the podcast to share your story
Yea that’s a very different experience from me started smoking at 16 and I’m almost 18 the only side effect I’ve had is sometimes being lazy when I’m high but overall I’m chilling
Your throat is important. Your lungs are important. Your Family is important. These three things that I just mentioned are NEEDS. Anything else are simply WANTS.
Not sure why this video popped in my feed, but I have been smoking since I retired from the service, pretty much every day, and I am well into my 40s, and it hasn't happened yet. That being said, time to smoke!
When weed stops being fun, it becomes medicine. Thanks.
I'm trying to quit alcohol and weed at same time. I've been a heavy consumer of both for two solid decades. This is hard, mate. I'm 38 and I feel I'm ready. I already quit cocaine years ago. Thanks for doing what you do. Weed made me asocial. I would buy 10g, lock myself in my appartment for four days and do nothing else than roll, smoke and play video games. I hope this will never happen again.
Thanks for sharing man. That’s a vicious cycle and so awesome you’re ready to break free from it. It’s gonna be tough, however if you that energy playing video games and getting bud into self improvement, no doubt you got this.
Keep in touch and if you ever want any outside help feel free to book a consult with me: calendly.com/sobrietyuniversity/sober-living-consult
I’m on an experimental six weeks of sobriety right now. No alcohol, weed, or cocaine. Quit everything at once.
I feel amazing. I thought it would be excruciating to quit but I honestly don’t know if I can go back to the aches, pains, exhaustion, and fogginess from using substances after experiencing this level of clarity and energy.
Do it. You won’t regret it.
@@dj_bae I'm doing the same mate. It's hard because I have no one to support me. But I'm with you.
Two both different things
Alcohol is killing you daily
Marijuana is not
Don't try to put them in the same category
@@RosinDaddy5280 I agree. But I use them for the same purpose, in the same conditions, and they work insanely well together. Both had significant impact on my life. Weed is more insidious. It discourage me from attempting new things. It destroys my ambitions. If I put them on the same level it's only from a personal perspective. I need to quit both, no other way around.
I feel bad for people who can't handle weed. My life turned around once I started smoking, my friends and family told me I was pleasant to be around again, and I'm always in a better mood even when I'm not high. It motivated me to get into more hobbies and to take better care of my relationships, and it made me better at the hobbies I already did have. Nothing but positive for me. And to the people that say it's bad for your lungs and throat and all that bullshit, I know numerous people that are in their 70's and 80's who have been smoking weed everyday since their pre teens, never had any lung or throat problems. Weed is not bad, it's the person who has the problems.
I'm starting a break solely because of the state of my lungs and throat. Having trouble doing my normal workouts without having to take breaks to cough or catch my breath.
How long have you been smoking?
you’re under the blinding effect. you’re blinded. you think everything is all sunshines and rainbows until reality truly sets in when you go sober and deal with all the problems you refused to face naturally by gettin high instead. It’ll all catch up eventually, trust me.
I’m still struggling.
Good one, junkie
You still have to buy it continuously. Think of all that cash!
For me older I got more paranoid I got from weed and stopped beein fun
I hear that. Most of smoking friends have reached that point as the years have gone on. Can't smoke like when we were 18 anymore
@@SobrietyUniversity lol nope and thr weed stronger as well..but it's my tolerance as well..don't smoke much so when I do I get to high lol...IL eat edibles though...that'd the way to go now
@@ryancampbell1847Be careful with the edibles, my brother had a mental breakdown after daily use of 5mg THC infused mints.
You would have benefited from regular t breaks, but quitting weed is something we all should be able to do if need be, dont let a substance control your life
Cope alert ⚠
Been binging your videos. Helps a lot.
A couple days in and I’m feeling good but still have the urge. Gonna keep pushing. Thank you for your guidance and help brother 🙏🏼
Glad they’re helping brother. Will support binging these vids over weed any day. Keep in touch with your progress
I smoked weed daily for a few years in my early 20s, and then it started making me extremely anxious. I unfortunately moved to alcohol and am now trying to recover from alcoholism in my mid-20s.
I don’t know how I ended up here, but props to you for quitting and trying to help others. I smoked weed a few times in high school and it just gave me anxiety and made me paranoid. The only time it was good was when I was already drunk.
Haha TH-cam's likes to send people down random rabbit holes sometimes. Appreciate you stopping by and for the kind words. Good thing you never had an issue with it. It can be a b***h to quit
I was the opposite, if I'm drunk and then smoke weed I will throw up 5-15 minutes after that because I start spinning. I can however, smoke weed and then drink.
Man, thank you. Love and respect.
I'm really tired of smoking... It's not fun anymore... It's been a week for me. I'm trying my best..
Great advice, I would like to add though that it isn't just a mindset shift; a major component of your perceived experience is Neurobiological. Watching Andrew Huberman's 3HR lecture on this Neuroscience of marijuana / addiction was truly eye opening. Your ability to have motivation, to feel pleasure or even base stimulation from life is governed by your Dopamine receptors. The brain as a machine doesn't like to be in altered states, it always wants to find homeostasis of body/mind, so it compensates by weakening those receptors. If you indulge in THC (imitation dopamine) long enough, this is a downward spiral. Dopamine isn't just pleasure, it is motivation, reward, endocrine regulation and neuron communication. All of that gets turned down to next to nothing over time. This is why it's hard for addicts to go cold turkey... While there may not be acute / fatal withdrawal as with alcohol, there is an intermediary period where you have no endemic Dopamine supply and next to no capacity to receive it. Life becomes empty, meaningless. Your hormones are out of wack so your appetite and sexual function basically shuts down. Nothing is stimulating. The poison becomes the cure, hence the relapse to flood your starving brain with more fake dopamine. If you tough it out though, your brain will adjust to having no supply by increasing the sensitivity of your receptors and nutrition will over time synthesize natural dopamine. How long it takes for your brain to recover depends how long you've been addicted.. Usually no less than 2-3 weeks, but in extreme cases 2-6 months. But if you Exercise discipline, it will all return. You can still enjoy weed but it must be respected. I think no more than once or twice a week from a place of reset zero tolerance is about the safe limit to avoid the long term psychological detriments. Educate yourself on your brain and you will be able to manage it properly and identify the signs early if you fall off course. ✌️
Agreed. Good points. Dopamine and neurobiology play a huge roll in addiction. For some people, they can use it occasionally, however for others, not so much. The key is understanding one’s self, most people though have spent their whole life escaping themselves through substances and behaviors and that’s why I push for complete abstinence. Once I became my own best friend, the thought of covering that up with weed made no sense anymore
Wow this is 100% me in every single way. Thank you
I smoked a lot of weed before and during cancer treatment. After surviving cancer I really wanted to get my health back on track so I started hiking, going to cycle classes, and weightlifting. I felt really good during workouts but I noticed that marijuana was slowing me down and lowering my performance. If I smoked at all during the day before a workout, or even the night before, I just felt so tired, sluggish, and unmotivated during the workout. I noticed particularly with cardio that my lungs were affected and made it harder for me to breathe. I think that working out can replace the high you get from weed, at least to a certain extent. I think that working out, more than marijuana or any other drug, has done more to help with depression. My advise: chase the workout high not the marijuana high.
Next stop for me: Caffeine
Great advice man. I agree, exercise is my release. I’ll be a fitness junkie all day over a lazy stoner. Glad to hear you survived the cancer. Inspiring and motivational story
Thanks for sharing brother 👍
Good information & story. Many will relate 👍❤
You’re welcome brother. Thank you for the support and coming by the channel 🙏🏽
Thank you for the video. I'm really struggling to quit weed, been smoking it for 20 years now and pretty much every day for the last 15. I've never felt like I've achieved my true potential, feel like i abandoned my 19 year old self and just put myself in a weed cage for my whole adult life. Trying to break the addiction but it's so hard, it's like I've forgotten how to live and how I used to be. Somehow I'm still a functioning and useful member of society but my sense of spiritual worth has been low for so long
Thanks for sharing man. It’s tough you’re experiencing this and great because you’re aware of it and what change.
If you want to hop on a call and talk some strategy, I’d be happy to help: calendly.com/sobrietyuniversity/sober-living-consult
Been doing drugs everyday since 15 years old. 2 years sober after 5 years of homelessness.
Couldn't have done it without the Holy Spirit! 🙌🔥❤️
I'll smoke to that brother
Praise the Lord
All drugs are like this for me, now. They used to be so much fun; now it’s just paranoia, anxiety, obsessive/intrusive thoughts, and leaves me feeling like complete trash for days. Even caffeine is becoming a bit much.
Hear you man. Am the exact same. One substance replaces another. Any short of anxiety/pain I'm willing to put in the effort to overcome.
@@SobrietyUniversitythat’s a great mentality. 🔥
Go sober a replace it with sports and ice baths. 😊
Same same
nootropics are the way to go
Fw the message fosho 😎 wish you wellness in life and on here!
Thanks brotha! Appreciate ya
I QUIT WEED IN 2007 AN AM 6 YEARS SOBER .. GREAT CONTENT SIR .. SALUTE .. 👍🏾💯
That’s awesome brother. High praise. Lmk if you ever want to come on the podcast to share your story
I thought you said you quit in 2007. That would be 16 years
You should try weed. 2007 weed isn’t the same thing you haven’t even tried weed yet
@@wescaldno joke 😂 2007 weed can't touch today's stuff. Smokin on some 32 percent animal cookies. I'm cooked
@@Ricozazalol I think he means 2017 yall
I think im done with weed. The weed today when habitually smoked leaves me in psycotic episodes. The only way i see it managable is probably every other month one time. However i got to a point that i learn nothing new while high so for me it has run its coarse in a positive way. With that i think im done for good. Great video!
I hear you Josh. It almost becomes boring. My soul wanted to advance and it sounds like yours does too. Thanks for your support!
Lol don't blame the marijuana on your shitty life
That's quite uncommon. It only happens to people predisposed to psychosis. I'm glad you recognised it was doing you more harm than good
I appreciate your intentions and your effort.
Thanks Dharmaholic. Dharma for life
Gave a like for the title alone! Nobody talks about this.
Appreciate you
Super true man ive been sober for 7 months and although i get some cravings here and there im definitely way more healthy mentally and physically i workout way more eat way healthier id also suggest to anyone wanting to quit weed get into a physical hobby wether its working out or bike riding i skate alot ao that helps also video games are pretty good i think if you want to get your mind off smoking but thats what i found helpful to me personally,much love.
Thats awesome man. Totally agree, gotta find things to have fun with and stay focused on. Physically activity has been my saving grace 100. Thanks for sharing and the reminder to prioritize fitness.
I'm 45 now been smoking flower since then.Evertime it works. I get the legal medical now. It's great.I ain't ever gonna stop!!
i love when my food sounds great
As a coping mechanism for teenage angst., shyness and stress pot saved my life between the age if 15 to 22. At 23 I had a psychotic episode that I was hearing things friends Saud and misconstrued what they were saying. Nearly choked my best friend to death. Another good friend had to physically assault me to stop. Absolutely frightening. Then it took me ten weeks to get off pot. The withdrawals were horrible. Bashed so many people I lost count. Have been 25 years clean since. It saved my life and Nearly put me in jail for life. Be careful.
crazy story man. Thanks for sharing. I’ve had family members that went into psychotic episodes. Great you made the change and stopped
@@SobrietyUniversity It served its purpose. Plus it's true pot is really an anti social herbal that inhibits natural growth in your life. For music, art and sex uts great. For true clarity of life and real decisions making in the real world, an emotional inhibitor of trye growth. Like I said, when I was young it saved my life but as an adult man escapism is not realism. Thank you.
started smoking about 2 years ago when i first entered college at 18 and although i enjoy it i'm beginning to see how it's affecting my motivation on a day-to-day basis. i'm still trying to get this degree and although smoking can help me detstress at times, i'm starting to see it as a chore and a huge money grab. it's to the point where i would spend my last dollar on weed so today i'm trying again to stop for good and hopefully i will be successful!
Very similar story, can relate. In college it was a fun until it wasn’t. Failed an exam or two because I chose to smoke over study. You got this man. Want to invite you to join the community with other people aiming to live a happy and successful life. Would be great to have you.

I replaced it with a natural high, if you find something that gets you going daily and you'll have the same high.
Thing I hate about weed is, you cope with it and you're complacent, constantly rewarding. It's good in small small doses vacation on the second day or Thanksgiving or Christmas, daily use not for everyone/most and not a good idea period. Seems harmless and that's the dangerous part that goes over the heads of most that daily use.
I quit when I was 15 and my grades went from Cs and Ds to As and Bs. It got to the point where it would just make me tired. I also got tired of visiting losers just to keep a supply. It was in the seventies when most were toking. I had no friends for like a year but not that big a deal. I met some positive people and started going after my goals. Its not physically hard to quit. Its like getting a monkey off of your back. You feel better and with new energy and brain power. Good luck!
Appreciate the motivation man. Good you got out when you did. Some of the stuff today is insanely strong
Good info, thanks
Can ypu please tell nema of thr song in background.
You’re welcome. Sorry mate, I can’t remember. I got it from a royalty free music site called epidemic sound under the soft house genre
Weed is amazing, and so is alcohol, LSD, schrooms, MDMA, and even cocain and opioids are great.
The issue is always that people start abusing the drug.
If you do something on special occasions while being mindful and responsible, you will not develop any issues.
It's only when people start doing it regularly, and eventually daily, that these substances cause problems.
The way to combat the many side effects of drugs including the addictive properties, is to have social rituals connected with them.
When you start doing anything outside of a predetermined scheduled ritual you start developing a unhealthy relationship with it.
It's honestly very similar to sweet foods. Like, if you only indulge in ice-cream occasionally, and only as desert after having had a full meal, it's probably not going to harm you at all, but if you observe yourself eating a whole cake for breakfast on a Monday.... You have developed a unhealthy relationship to it.
Alprazolam is also incredible.
You seem like a lovely young man :)
Thanks for your work!
Thank you friend! You’re very welcome
I relate so much to this video
Great you were able to relate Jill
I quit smoking grass about the time it became legal. Been using fentynal since however
When weed stops being fun...you stop using it. Later on, it's fun again. Learn to find the pleasures of moderation.
I put this comment on another of your videos. I used hemp to avoid marijuana withdrawals. Much, much easier.
Thanks for sharing!
bro i needed this . thx
You're welcome bro. Great it helped you
I’ve been addicted since I was 15 and now every time I quit I make bad life decisions like doing harder drugs. Every time I try to quit my body gets manic and tries to replace
That sounds tough man. Don’t give up
You rock man
🙏🏽
Moderation is key inna meditation 🎼🌀🌀🎼
I used to smoke weed a lot back then I was a stoner for like 3 years and I had a similar experience I lost a ton of weight and I wasn’t getting high at all so I decided to quit on my own and I’ve been doing way better since I quit I gained like 30 pounds.
Congrats man, that's awesome. Interesting hearing that some people have the opposite effect and lose weight. Glad to hear you're doing better and got back to a healthy weight
Maybe you have an addictive personality that ain't addicting
Go Try some HEROIN
Reality is different word!
I used to smoke & drink daily
But then at age 33 I moved away from my degenerate smoking & drinking buddies
& bam! All of a sudden drinking & smoking just felt stupid. Instead of being a fun social thing it became 30 minutes of either no thoughts (alcohol), or weird thoughts (weed) followed by naptime.
Eventually I was like this shit is stupid. I don’t actually enjoy this. I’m done.
That’s awesome man. The people we surround ourselves with play a huge impact on who we become and our habits. Life’s too short not to remember any of it
i don't even get high anymore , i just do it so i can feel normal , the same thing was happened to me when i am addicted to Cannabis , and that is why i quit Cannabis completely , from Last 8 months i am clean and i am going to stay clean for my whole life.
Congrats brother. That’s awesome. Come on the podcast to share your story if you’d like
Going into college soon and want to cut back on how much I smoke (daily) to atleast once every 3-4 days. No way I can fully focus etc getting stoned 24/7. Also smoking every couple days is way more enjoyable than smoking daily and feeling nothing
That’s a good mindset. Sounds like a doable goal. I tried that at first, but my willpower and discipline at the time wasn’t strong enough
In the long run you'll find yourself stoning on a daily, the only way is to quit it totally
If you’ve never been to College before, it’ll be a little bit of a slap in the face. Because the teachers don’t care how well you do or don’t do. Start smoking pot, and College are going to hang out with all the other people are smoking pot. That’s not why you’re going to college. Watch a little David Goggins and kick yourself in the ass. Don’t go easy on yourself… Go hard, decide to become a great success and make a difference in the world. The only way to do that is to put your nose in the books and not lift them up for four years. Pot and pussy will ruin you.
Weed completely lost its psychoactive effects on me...the mild hallucinogenic feelings that I had once gotten simply are not there anymore. I literally just feel groggy and then kind of slowed down the next day. So the problem solved itself...I just have no more desire to do it. However I replaced it with kratom which is probably worse, since I'm still hooked on it. The reason I got on kratom was because it was a very mild high that helped me like my awful life more. I want to get off everything now, including caffeine and TH-cam videos, but I feel like I need meditation and yoga to get to that point. My mind is a chaos of disjointed thoughts, and an ever-present accusing voice yelling at me that I'm terrible. Maybe I should start drinking.
You should definitely not start drinking
@@TJs.Shootingahahahahaa it's true but my god that made me laugh. One little drinky poo
Your mind is reminding you of your discomfort; pay attention to this important conscious message. Simply your brain is pounding at you because you truly don't enjoy the situation you are in. When someone doesn't enjoy their situation; the appropriate action is to grind and deal with the hard work. Weed and other substances help mute this voice of courage and makes the consumer comfortable. Unfortunately, if you don't like the situation you are in AND you try to make your mind comfortable, you will inevitably have a mental battle. Exercise and become serious on your sleep. It will be sobriety battle but it will be a new you. Trust.
I noticed the vast difference between those who were just abusing the herb and those who use it respectfully as a meditation.... as a person who was first enjoying the relaxing feeling... then, after multiple injuries to my spinal cord and the battle of 2 cancers at once... for over 30 years...
Dude that whats cool is you STOP getting high from it.... yet the pain relief and less depression again... those who ise it respectfully as medication. Herb isnt for everyone just for those its for.
True true. Well said
Smoking a bowl right now to each his own
Lol you didn’t even really talk about the negative of effects of smoking too much, just tolerance. It’s negatively affected my life in every single realm of life. I recovered mostly, but still feel like I would be a better person now if I didn’t have that rough stretch 5-8 years ago. I still smoke everyday but only low thc strains that are vaporized. Otherwise, I get uncontrollable, scary cardio reactions with my breathing (basically a panic attack every time I smoke). With the vaporizer, I still get headaches, dry eye to the point that it is affecting my vision significantly while high, straight up depression, and breathing problems if I can’t control myself on a given night and smoke too much. I also absolutely cannot be social while high anymore because my confidence gets destroyed guaranteed.
You need to take tolerance break to reset your sensitivity, not do more. Probably not doable if you're an all day every day addict though
Can't tell if he's a better person because of weed or just very charismatic
I think the main theme in these success stories isnt necessarily the weed or substance itself but more or less the mindset and traps/snares that relying on a wordly "fix" instead of finding meaning and restored purpose when you finally learn to face those demons and controversies and come out sharper and better than ever before. Its all about "flow" , rhythm snd balance, anything in excess or deficit is not good for you besides the creator of the Universe
Damn, i thought I was just the only one feeling bad eveytime i smoke a joint or a hit on my pen. After 8 years of smoking weed. I think my body is telling me to move on.
You’re not alone brother. It’s time. You have our support
i'm 20 and have only been smoking for 2 years and feel this exact same way. every time i hit a bowl now its in the back of my mind that this is bad for my health and i should stop for good
@@HTXLemarc seems like weed is different now a days.
@@octoberbasa7053Weed is different these days. The THC content is just way too high. I don’t understand why dispensaries don’t make low THC weed. Or at least make strains that are balanced with a good CBD ratio. This is why I decided to quit smoking weed.
Same, I still want it tho. Its also super expensive
Yes, the amount of money I realized I was spending on weed was painful
Bruh, tolerance break or, take/smoke less than you normally do and itll pull your tolerance down in two days. For example, if you take 7 puffs to get high, start taking only 4 puffs. Do that for two days and you’ll get high with only 4 puffs.
It says in the Bible we lived on cursed ground that we have to sweat and break the soil with hard work, we plant, the earth waters... But GOD makes the increase. Sacrifice is the key to prosperity as also shown and proven through God's ultimate act of love, putting his only begotten son on the cross to be whipped ,beaten, spit on, mocked ,ridiculed, tortured, and literally hung by nine inch nails and suffered untill his dying moment nailed to that rugged cross ....
It's hard for us to even fathom or use our imagination to comprehend the pain and suffering the mighty and pure unspotted lamb was hung to the cross. It all seems over right but no, God honored this sacrifice and the ground shook and the seal between God and man broke and a covenant was bound in blood, the blood of the Lamb . He is and will be The King of Kings and Lord of Lords and we will rise and celebrate his glory and salvation for all of eternity!!! When you take a leap of faith with THE LORD. He will NEVER forsake you no matter how dark and distant you think things get... yeah I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear NO evil. For tho art my Rod, my Staff my Comfort.
And boy is that Holy Spirit the ultimate comforter, there is nothing on earth that can ever fill that void
Everyone just talks about these scenarios for people who smoke the weed what about edibles does this also apply?
I’ve always been jealous of people who can smoke and function. Also, help anxiety.
I get the bad side effects every time I smoke, paranoia mainly.
So that’s kept me from smoking which I guess is a good thing.
I used to get jealous too. Now I’m grateful. Remembering how rough it was puts things in perspective
Addiction and dependency need to be two different classifications. People use dependency as an excuse to say weed isnt addictive. Ive never had a problem with addiction and most days the only substance I have in me is caffeine I consumed on accident because I didnt know it was in my drink (non alcoholic). But I have had to go to rehab for a dependency to a medication I was prescribed. But at the end of the day the outcome is the same, you do the same shit every day, you eventually need more than you used to, and it fucks up your life. Sure weed might not make you dependent and so it is SAFER than something else that will but you can still become addicted and you wont know it until it happens. If you can 100% objectively say you arent addicted then good for you but it never means its not possible and that it wont ever happen to you. Thats the mindset that starts the addiction in the first place.
Weed is only not fun when you don’t have any😭
Benzo addict here. 4 years from benzos. It still effects me from time to time. I wonder why weed is so illegal.
Congrats man. I’ve had friends hooked and it’s no joke. My gut says it always comes back to the money. Someone in gov is profiting by having control over it. Although lots of states are legalizing it so maybe they’re seeing more moneys available if it’s legal
I stop smoking because at some point I wasn't high anymore and I started to think about how I wasted my time doing it
Smoking all day everyday was fun for a while but when the introspection hitten me it was my warning alarm
It's been 1 year since I stopped and yes it happened when I got some friend who has some but it's few puffs a week and that's it
Great you listened to that inner intuition. So you’ve been clean a whole year now?
@@SobrietyUniversity
yes
like I said few puff not a full joint and even so the vibe isn't there anymore
it's like meeting old friend that you lost contact and you realise that we both move on in life and we are almost strangers to each other
@@hugonubario I feel you. Great that’s working for you. Thanks for sharing
How do I stop smoking weed if it isn’t really causing a problem in my life ? I just smoke 2 hours before bedtime so I see no purpose in going through 2 week withdraws but just want to improve my cognitive function
You answered it in your question. You don’t have a strong enough why to be quitting. You need to identify a bigger purpose for yourself and your life.
Dude got so stoned he had developed an appreciation for the sound of food...
Honestly could care less if people keep waisting money on addictions and screwing their body, how else will they learn. We gotta stop caring for people who create their own problems
It’s not bad or addictive imo but if you allow it to just take control of you’re life like that then yes it can be bad. It’s not like hard drugs like heroin where if you don’t take you’ll start to get withdrawals. I compare it to like junk food, every once in a while is ok but every day is bad for you’re health
I’m smoking a half pound a month..
I don't like tripping out, after a while it just wasn't fun
Agreed. Life is trippy enough as it is
Taking a break in oct
Weed is a psychedelic there is a time frame you have to take between breaks
Never had that discipline. Was an all or nothing guy. Respect if you do
And those of is that need it for medical purposes? What about us big man?
probably find another channel. This channel is for those that want to quit and don't find it helpful
2 weeks sober life is boring I developed anhedonia anxiety and depression. I hate weed
It takes a few months for the neurochemicals to reset and simply thiings to start feeling good. Stay with it
Weed would make me do stupid dumb shit but I'm schizoaffective and bipolar usually when I'm manic I was smoking weed and doing stupid shit. My psychiatrist switched up my meds and now I'm sober not wanting to smoke and happy. Not doing crazy stupid shit.
That’s great man, congrats. My close friend has bipolar and weed didn’t mix well either him either. He quit recently and is doing much better. Here’s to happiness and not doing stupid shit
Luckily I never been a person who felt the need to get hi all the time. Weed never took me to a dark place. But for the life of me me I never understood super stoners. Weed only gets u so hi. It gets boring. Ppl who have to smoke b4 they do anything are annoying af.
What are "dabs"?
nick name for thc concentrate /oils / oil pens
they just take the thc off of the plant and make concentrates, so thyere stronger hits blasting up your tolerance and normally causing a bit of a crash after the high..
some people will prefer slowly smoking flower/tree themselves instead as people say tree can be a more mellow high
Weed is like anything else in moderation and occasionally take a month or so off from weed then its enjoyable again
I've had experience with weed all my life. I am 60 and can tell you for most people, it is self limiting., I have never Overdosed on weed, I have had a few bad experiences in my youth but nothing these days. I love the claims that weed is sooo much stronger today, well, it's not. There may be more THC in the weed but it's nowhere near what it was when I was growing up. Perhaps the targeting of terpenes screwed it up. I know people are saying I am just immune by now but that is NOT the case. Good weed will STILL stone the hell out of me., . I worked as a high functioning, high end I.T. director and PROGRAMMER for over 31 years running multiple companies. I left when Covid hit and companies became woke. But I am giving my own personal account with weed., I still smoke it. (Only smoke it as flower is pure). No Vaping. No Dabbing,. No CHEMICAL process to extract THC., Just weed
Weed stops being fun after high school/college, then it just becomes a relaxant.
...a relaxant until the anxiety and paranoia kick in eventually after enough use.
Everything is fine in moderation I think but my problem is if I've got weed sitting at home I'll probably devour it like I would a packet of cookies and sweets. Still far better than the booze though.
Carbon monoxide is not fine when inhaled into the lungs and weed smoke contains carbon monoxide. In moderation it is less harmful but it's still bad for you. I do however agree that it's not as bad as alcohol.
@@timorthelame1 yeah smoking isn't good for you but then there's always juicing or eating edibles etc instead but I'm not doing bad for someone who smoked daily for 30+ years, now it's only occasional though. I think marijuana is a natural gift but often people who abuse it I hear blame the plant rather than admitting they lacked self discipline to moderate their use.
I find this comical-the fact it was legalized. I did a report on this back in college in the late 80’s. Fast forward states realize how much money could be made to legalize it-so they do. Another way for our beloved states to be corrupt. First dispensary I stopped at was in Vegas off the south end of the strip. At that time there were 7 I think in Vegas. I was talking to the guy working there and asking how much state tax is being generated. He said that one alone generated over 2 million in state tax. 2 million out of 1 of 7 dispensary’s and yet where is that money going? Homeless would be in better shape, schools would be in better shape and yet nothing. We are talking maybe 14 million/annually and where does that money go????
That’s wild man. We talked about today on the podcast that the decision for anything always comes back down to money and who gets to profit. Crazy how much money is out there from chronic
i love smoking weed lol
Me too ,..for 30 years,.....check back in when thats ALL you love,..ALL you care about,...& ALL your money goes to,.........& you wake up and realize your whole life went to buying a feeling,.....best of luck buddy.
I never liked dabs, or felt the need for them, and I smoked every day for 5 years. And I quit because I felt like it, I never got addicted. If you feel like you need dabs, you are probably one of those people who can't handle weed.
Forsure, weed is not for everyone. Great you have a healthy relationship with it. Thanks for stopping by the channel
Oh did food sounded great? Wow
Yeah, weed turns dark when you're into it heavy.
it literally stops being fun when you get less high, when i get HIGH as shit like on edibles, shits fun as fuck again
Day 1... Again...
Never give up. Have you considered outside help and accountability?
@@SobrietyUniversity I haven't, yet...
@@hitmanxjak would you be interesting in booking a call with me? We can chat about where you are in you’re journey, how I can be of help to you and if working together would make sense right now
Smoke weed. Get high. Drink. Do drugs. Watch mindless content. Indulge.
People like myself, and my ilk profit and prosper from you being "high" and escaping reality.
Uhhhh, it doesn’t ever stop being fun
The weed did it’s job. It spoke to you to go do what you were passionate about. You neglected it and didn’t follow through. You needed to be reminded that you ignored yourself. That’s where the anxiety comes from. You didn’t listen to yourself. Go do it and then come back to it. It’s a medicine. Respect it.
Definitely. I did not use it in a healthy way. For me though, never going back. Sobriety is too good. Appreciate your share
@@SobrietyUniversity I stopped drinking alcohol in 2019. Best decision I’ve made. Also stopped smoking weed then but I’ve returned to it from time to time. Not a daily smoker anymore though. Sometimes weeks go by.
You were smoking too much. You need to take breaks to lower your tolerance. Sometimes just 24 hours is enough of a break for me.
Weed is harmless,tell the truth
When people use the word weed, it tells me they haven’t educated themselves on the benefits of cannabis. It is one of the greatest anti inflammatory herbs on earth.
When you smoke weed for a month or two everyday, it stops being fun. It doesn't even get you high after smoking everyday for a month.
2nd that. Makes life so boring and meaningless
You always need more and more
For you maybe.
I've been at it for nearly 30 years and it's always fun.
Each to their own
@@MrSoulsFull Yep, i'd still be using if I didn't have a problem with it
Weed is a gateway drug lowkey lol
2nd^
Smoking weed will make your life less than what it could be otherwise, and it's not a very effective pain killer either. Anyone with serious chronic pain who is being honest will tell you the same. Does it feel better being in pain while high? ...Yes but the pain is still there just as much as before. Smoking weed is trading your long term well being for a short term buzz. It will make you paranoid, anxious, lazy, moody, and depressed eventually if you smoke enough of it long enough. If you smoke it everyday, you wont even be able to get high off of it anymore. It will simply take the edge off and the craving to smoke it temporarily, much like what smoking a cigarette does for the cigarette smoker. It's called dope for a reason.
I don't think it should illegal and I don't think it's as bad as alcohol but it's bad for you period point blank. Anyone telling you different is lying to you and perhaps themselves. If someone tries to tell you that it will do you good to smoke weed, ask them what other forms of smoke would they suggest that you inhale into your lungs? They wont have a valid answer because there are no forms of smoke that are good for your lungs. Carbon monoxide is bad for your lungs, if nothing else and weed smoke contains carbon monoxide.
Weed is not even addicting, second off you're bad-mouthing something that gives great health benefits, just cuz you don't have any self-control there so many people cold turkey like me living in Georgia right now I don't have any access to a good weed, your videos is blasphemy, weed gives great joy Jesus is a great God for making such a substance
Great that god has given you a healthy relationship with weed. This channels for people who want to quit and who struggle with it. Thanks for stopping by the channel
Stop buying useless overpriced stuff and start growing
