decided to quit cold turkey after smoking weed since I was 14. I'm 35 years old now and it's been close to ten days and I don't plan on smoking again. God bless all of us in our pursuit of sobriety 🙏
@Ohzeeyaydang guys it's so hard for me and I've only been smoking since I was 16 and I'm 21 almost 22 I quit vaping and it's not nearly as hard as this yeah you don't get much physical withdrawals like nicotine but you literally have to relearn how to do life without weed, about to go to work so I smoke a bowl well not now so what do I do before work, In between games go smoke a bowl not anymore all those times you'd be high is missing on top of not being able to enjoy things even if you tried so you're forced to just be depressed until it fixes itself or go back to smoking
How bro. I keep relapsing after 2 or 3 days. It’s so hard, I’m nearly 30 been smoking since 13, daily smoking since 16. I fucking love weed but I know I need to quit and I want to.
I think its also just that my life isnt what i want it to be and thats depressing... the "stuff" was a coping mechanism and now i have to just deal with reality
@@TheRealDTV that's what the weed tells me too 🙃 so yea, no. If it's making your life worse, please put yourself first above it. I'm working on this daily. Difficult but it will be worth it.
Hey guys, I quit from smoking 2 weeks ago and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever had. You become a whole different person and your best version of you gets closer and closer.
I allowed weed to take over my life. Been smoking for about 12 years now. I’ve always loved it. Never saw a problem with it. Went through a pretty rough patch the last few years and I got to the point to where I was smoking sun up to sun down 24/7 just to numb myself. I maintained work, sucked at relationships. Intimate or not. my mental health completely deteriorated. Depression took over completely for the first time. My stomach started hurting every morning, like the worst nausea you could think of. To make a long story short I fucking hated waking up. The only “joy”I found in life was my weed. That is until I found your videos. I’m 7 days clean thanks to this channel. You helped me realize I need to stop. I can honestly say i feel 1000x better than I did a week ago. (Other than anxiety and literally no appetite) it feels good to be sober, to be in tune with what I’m feeling. The goal is to get to a point to where I can live my life without wanting it. I hated feeling like I needed to get high. The weight that has lifted off my shoulders from that feeling alone is tremendous. For anybody struggling to make the decision, do it. If you’re contemplating then it probably means that it’s time. Do it for you. You’re worth it.
I am in the exact same situation except I have not quit. I just discovered this guys channel and watched a few hours of videos. Every word you wrote is 100% true. Im praying for you David.
Trust me guys, ITS only tough the first month or two, but It Will get better Trust me, I was smoking since 17 and Im almost 23 and have a daughter on the way, so I had to stop, It was giving me anxiety, couldnt smoke like when i was younger, It was hurting my lungs , my relationships also sucked, I started to stay at home and It was all mixed up with depression/panic attacks, I also started having urticaria from touching the plant wtf? My body developed some kind of Allergy to weed this two last years which I didnt have when i was younger nd neither all those other symptons I mentioned before,so enough Is enough, remember, when u smoke It daily ITS an addicion just like with alcohol or heroin (Sorry for my Bad english)
I thought I was the only one going through this until I read your message... I was thinking maybe I should jus depart from this world but now I have hope thanks to you. God is not done with me yet
Don’t even try smoking weed kids. It’s not even worth it and I would love to restart my life and choose to never of picked up that pipe. Smoking marijuana ruined my life and it made me so insecure but I got plenty of girlfriends and It made me paranoid paranoid around police. I am here back in high school in the late 90s we would roll around in our drop top Lowrider Hondas and just smoke blonde after blonde after blonde after blonde and I smoked way too much and that’s why I felt the way I did. And that’s too much for a growing mind. nowadays I take a few hits of the best weed on the planet and I’m good for hours. Everything is all about moderation, so I’m not here to try to teach you guys anything like some my thing in their little brains. Just try to do the right thing in life and do everything in moderation because I did way too much of it and I really wish I would not have.
@@nbfjay1608 yes I have quit smoking weed every day back in 2004 and now I’ll take a hit once in a while if it’s around and I’m usually drinking with it so it enhances the alcohol buzz but yeah I don’t ever have pot in my possession because I’d rather drink otherwise no drugs at all
After smoking weed for over 10 years. I recently quit cold turkey and have been clean for 33 days now and I have been noticing I've been getting sad and mad alot and I have nightmares often. Also I have been getting headaches alot, but its time to take control of my life so I'm pushing through...
@Vahid that is awesome!! Congrats to you :) I just recently hit 6 months. I definitely feel normal. But struggling with boredom and still needing to find new things to do with my time. Also have to constantly tell myself “no” to smoking weed. Because I’m still surrounded by people who smoke a lot. Feels good though not letting that addictive voice win
@Vahid yeah thinking about the withdrawals and not wanting to go through that again, is a big thing that’s helping me to not relapse. It was really intense. Got no sleep. Emotions completely unregulated. Deep depression. Yeah, I don’t want that again lol keep up the good work though! I hope we can both find new hobbies and what not to replace the weed smoking 😆
Im on 2 months clean and feel great you cant tell your in a hole while in the hole I lost both my life long friends to depression and feel weed played a role 😢
Be careful who you help quit. Traumatic stress often leads to chronic stress disorders. Stress produces cortisol. An overabundance destroys the brain. People with chronic stress are likely to have brain damage due to this. The symptoms mimic those attributed to the stereotypical stoner. Furthermore, one part of the brain that is damaged is the endocannabinoid system. One correcting this deficiency with natural cannabis - consuming as medicine - should not just quit. Now, there have been 100s of millions of violent alcohol related crimes over the past 60 years, including the sexual abuse of 10s of millions of children, all primary causes of PTSD and other stress disorders. However, the war on cannabis, the only competitor to alcohol, and most chosen alternative of the traumatically stressed, added decades of trauma upon trauma and stress upon stress, sending multitudes into chronic stress. You know how those were historically treated. In other words, multitudes need cannabis. 10s of millions of Americans are strung out on prescription psych meds because of these things. I would argue half of them wouldn't be if they had access to high quality cannabis. They certainly wouldn't be traumatizing one another by the millions a year with alcohol related violence and sexual perversion.
Same the smallest things will set me off into a rage and I have no control over it. Been off it for 3 months and I do plan on returning to it I love my bud.
The first time I quit I didn't get either of those things. I just had really bad cravings and withdrawals mostly with a bit of depression and anger in there but not that much. Coffee also helps you calm down too and helps your brain be active in a way.
Currently on week 1 of quitting crying my eyes out for at least two hours of day. Its fun. But i know i rather be sad then “fake” Happy and calm. It just numbed me nothing more.
Just finished crying my f*cking eyes out for like 20 minutes for no reason, I feel this. I'm currently on day 3 after 15 years (half my life) of heavy weed use. I feel awful, but keeping my eyes on the prize. I hope you're doing well!
@@shakariwebster embrace it i was sober for 6 months too and still felt disinterested ive been smoking again since a month or two ago and instantly went back to permastoned. Quitting again cus i again realized that its not how i wanna live You might be alittle unmotivated but on the plus side (and i hope u can agree) its alot easier to be productive regardless of the no interest and ur anxiety will be super low again and youll feel alot more confident generally
i did notice it was alot easier to appreciate the little things without it. i would be super depressed at times but something silly like a nice lookin sky or talking to an older person would really make me happy
Just quit carts after 3 years everyday all day. Not depressed but I don’t really find anything fun anymore not even playing warzone or gta I’m just bored out of my mind but I just signed up for the gym so I hope that becomes something I can enjoy
Lmao Same! I was trying to figure out what he was going to do with the eggs the whole time 🤦🏻♀️ and why is there so many!? Dude, fucking eat them or put the lid back on!
It’s the opposite for me, I am depressed when I am always smoking and it’s because I’m smoking and doing nothing active, productive, or creative. When I stop, my spirit opens back up to actually doing things and I’m not longer depressed. Because I’m not smoking.
That's exactly like me... I've smoked it for over 10yrs had my good times with it.. but now I'm done.. Its held me back for years.. Go to work all I think about is getting home to get stoned then all the stuff I wanna do in my life gets left till tomorrow which never comes... I don't smoke at work obv and I'm full of good intentions and think I'm going to do this and that but never happens... I'm determined to stop and I know my life will change drastically for the better... Just gotta do it.. Easier said than done... Good luck to u👍
I've been off weed for 3 weeks and 2 days. At first it was withdrawal, but after this break, I just realised lots of shits sucks without it. Back to the joints
The problem is when it interferes with you ability to work. My work is heavily intellectual and based on problem solving. It's hard to get anything done
This right here. When I started my job I had been clean for 3 months. Then I regressed into doing multiple dabs a day every day. It's just not sustainable. I make more mistakes at work, and I'm completely unmotivated if not checked out because all I want to do is smoke and stay inside. Did you end up staying clean? If so, how you doing? Edit: I quit, and while I noticed that I'm more stress-reactive (for now, as my brain receptors return to normal), I am more motivated and productive both in and out of work.
@@strelok5661 well seeing as the one thing everyone can agree on is that weed inhibits creative problem solving , learning and working memory. I'd say that the weed isn't helping you focus, it's probably helping you mentally forget negative feelings. Which negative feelings can make it basically impossible to code (i know from experience)
@@IDontReadReplies42069 I disagree with it inhibiting creative problem solving. I find that it helps a lot to come up with multiple approaches to a problem. For me there's a clarity. I agree that it's not great when you're trying to learn something though
So what if the same thing happens when you come off anti depressants or adhd meds? Maybe the marijuana was just treating the depression and it isn’t time to come off. Some people cant come off their meds. Not every user of drugs (controlled and/or uncontrolled) is an addict.
I’m on day 8 and although I do get the urge I’m more short tempered and experiencing headaches. However my teeth feel better and clear brain when I wake up. I think long term will be worth it
I take notes I enjoy learning about my body systems, these videos have kept me so motivated to quit and now it feels like I have a real reason other than just my conscious😂. (Been addicted for a year and since my last relapse 2-3 months ago was smoking every day) now that I understand my body system and why I “really” feel the way I do it is very helpful.
Thank you for this. I quit smoking 5 days ago (longest I’ve gone without THC in 6 years, which is when I started) and I was so shocked from how depressed and unmotivated I felt the first couple of days. It’s already started getting better. I’m so happy I’m taking control of my life again.
Day 30 for me and the body aches, fatigue, depression are still lingering. I just want to sleep all day. I never used to be like this. Praying for all of us 🙏🏼
I don’t even get enjoyment from a smoking a 3.5+ a day atm or multiple strains a day which is my current habit , fed up of it tbf sometimes it’s more than a z a week
Trust me guys, ITS only tough the first month or two, but It Will get better Trust me, I was smoking since 17 and Im almost 23 and have a daughter on the way, so I had to stop, It was giving me anxiety, couldnt smoke like when i was younger, It was hurting my lungs , my relationships also sucked, I started to stay at home and It was all mixed up with depression/panic attacks, I also started having urticaria from touching the plant wtf? My body developed some kind of Allergy to weed this two last years which I didnt have when i was younger nd neither all those other symptons I mentioned before,so enough Is enough, remember, when u smoke It daily ITS an addicion just like with alcohol or heroin (Sorry for my Bad english)
i tried to quit a lot of times but never make it through...i dont have any close friend around me anymore and that makes life so boring and lonely when you stop smoking weed...i hate what i have become
I’m 28 and on day 3, I’ve smoked pretty much everyday since I was 17/18 I have stopped weed twice in that time for 6 months and a month here 2 weeks there so I’m used to it, I always go back to it when I’m “normal again” because I think right I’ve stopped now I’m fine again, I’ll have 1 to enjoy and not make it a habit, but long and behold the cycle always continues, weed has both positives and negatives for me, or I’m just tellling myself there’s positives lol, I just like smoking weed I like the feeing of being high, it is the ultimate boredom solver,I’ve smoked it for that long that it doesn’t effect my work what so ever and I can drive fast cars whilst smoking a joint and be totally fine and in control 100 percent but my relationship with my girlfriend and family suffer when I smoke weed, I’m short tempered, paranoid, abit delusional, emotionally unavailable, I can control the weed for a short while but it always gets out of hand, and the other big problem is money, I could of saved 10s of thousands over the years and now I have a baby daughter I feel so guilty spending any money on weed knowing I could be saving it for her and my dreams, I’ve already got a really nice car but other than that I could be sooo much further on in life, I’m lucky to have a few nice things somehow cos I could be absolutely fucked and homeless if I wasn’t lucky, this time I’m gonna try stopping for good or until I’m rich enough where money doesn’t matter
Dude im 28 and my situation us exactly the same. Only difference is that I have a a son. I feel guilty spending money on weed when I could be spending it on him and experiences. Right now is not our time to be high. We have too many people depending in our success bro 💯
Ur story looks like my husbands story..but we have Son and daughter...im tierd of him have 6 chances over 13 years....this is the last time I'm giving him chance ... Last time I left home didn't want to be wit him..but family reUnited us..
I stopped a month ago.. I don’t want to ever smoke again bc I was concerned about my lung health. I find my anxiety and depression are so much worse than they were before weed. How long will this last?! It was my only friend, my companion. It was my comfort every single time a person broke my heart. I hate being without it as my life is miserable and lonely and the negative thoughts about how ugly and fat I am never end. 💨 stopped me from overthinking too much but I knew I couldn’t do it forever. Anyone have any advise? I wish I never started.
I've become a mental mess lately and for the past months I've felt really bad from smoking. Now I'm on day 4 and although yesterday was absolutte hell, Im feeling positive rn. Today I gave away my bong and my tray to a friend, and I actually don't even want to smoke agien, because I know that it will only lead to the same repetitive and loanly days home alone with noone to talk to
I have quite weed 1 week ago. It is very true that you find no joy in anything when you first put it down, you can literally stand in a corner for seven hours straight and do nothing, no joy 😂
First time trying to give up weed since I start smoking 17 years ago, haven’t smoked it in a few weeks now replaced it with hash to help as I didn’t like it but kept the cravings at bay now that’s gone too the depression starting to kick in but that ok I know it’s to be expected looking to start 2023 clean and focused on what I want in life
7 days into quitting never felt better I don’t think I’m in the pink cloud I genuinely think I’m happy about the choice I’ve made and I can feel emotions again and excitement in my heart
I have quit weed before so I understand the depression part but man I do not miss it...Im a month into my second time quitting and almost nothing helps when the depression hits but those days are getting fewer and far between! Wish everybody the best on there quitting journeys WE GOT THIS!!!
@@nesquik5528 I have disappointing news…I’m smoking again but…I did manage to quit for a little over 6 months and at 6 months I still had some depression but way less then it was. It really just takes time man and if your committed enough you can do it for sure. I’m back to smoking by choice though so I guess I failed but hey stuff happens and there is always time for it again.
I smoked constantly for 10 years. I quit smoking for a year and never was able to get back to balance. I smoke again now. I want to quit again now. I'm scared that I will emotionally beat up on my girlfriend because that's what it looked like in the past. I'm scared that I won't be able to produce my own endoscanabinoids again. The whole time I wasn't smoking. It always felt like there was an edge that was there that it was impossible to get rid of.
5 months later; still anhedonic. Had to stop vaping nicotine and smoking mj after a cardiac event, but debating on if low quality of life is worth extended lifespan.
Yo! I vaporize herb (not carts) everyday, but always in the evening, and the amount per day is like 0.2 grams. How much does daily amount factor in to all the effects you mentioned? Like is my endocannabinoids not poppin off anymore?
Every time he says quitting carts, this is the second time I’ve watched this. I keep thinking he says quitting carbs. 😅 cannabouse 😂 I just looked up as I’m slowly trying to dwindle off of it why it says marijuana with a H apparently that’s the original spelling, but I don’t know about the cannabouse caboose 😅 No, you don’t have to tell me I know I should be a comedian. I’m hilarious! ☝🏻🤣
Believe it or not. Jesus came to me. The Holy Spirit came to me. Dreams returned to me. Joy was suddenly available. If you're newly on this journey. Even half a percent interested in good news. Lean in on Christ and love. You'll have no depression. You'll have no withdrawal symptoms. Your flesh may. But the holy spirit within you will persevere.
I’m only 2 days in & woke up at 4 am after the worst nightmare ever. I let weed control my moods when I had nothing it would put me in the worst mood. I couldn’t go a day without a spliff or if I went out I couldn’t wait to get back to have A smoke. I told myself I’m strong minded after what shit I bin thru how am I letting a plant control me so I’ve stopped after 28 years of daily smoking 😫
'Nother tip: try to run regularly, it'll help boost endocannabinoids and thats how we can experience the 'runners high' Plus it's something to feel good about :)
I think all these things take a lot longer than weeks and can take up to a year depending on the number of decades weed was used😣… BUT eating very high animal fat carnivore has reversed that trend for me - though I needed to nourish myself that way for 18 months before it rescued me from addiction
So does smoking CBD with less than 1% is not beneficial for quitting in the sense that you're still getting your cannabinoid intake from elsewhere and not from your body naturally ?
All those struggling with the withdrawal symptoms Learn n practice a breath work technique like wimhof or pranayamas to start activating indocanabanoids naturally in the brain. Also drink more water n indulge in a new hobby like climbing or dancing Pray n Practice self love Alots of it 🙏🌞
I got this the first time i quit. However not as bad as you say. And the way you prnounce things proves you never smoked as much as any of us did. Quitting carts? 😂they didnt have carts when i started. And now they have such innovative designs and ways of smoking far surpassing carts 😅 either way quitting has been great minus the vivid dreams i hope i dont sleep talk cause i probably sound tarded in my sleep hahaha
Reason #1 you were depressed before you started smoking reason #2 your still depressed after you stop smoking, problems won’t go away until you get understanding no healing some pills to thick to swallow which is the truth it’s hard to tell yourself the truth
After smoking for over 30 years, I found myself reaching for a joint whenever I felt my high slipping away. However, I am proud to say that I am now almost three months clean. To those who believe that there are no withdrawal symptoms from marijuana, I must respectfully disagree. The first month of my journey was incredibly tough, as I battled depression to the point of tears. I am currently working on putting together resources to start a Marijuana Anonymous group in my area. My heart goes out to anyone going through the detox process - I want you to know that it does get better with time. Today, I am able to sleep better and recall my dreams at night, something I have not experienced in years.
@@eskaban_edits_beats_and_more I regret so much I remember being such a big pothead when I was 18 it turned me into someone I despised wasn't the weed that changed me it was the fact that I had an addictive personality it does get better eventually eventually I want to get to a point where I only smoke during social settings and that's it
So recently I’ve been taking a break from weed and I have to quit smoking it but I can still ingest it but I’ve had depression before and I’m feeling that the weed has no effect on my depression, because I feel the same as if I were still smoking every day but I seem more irritable
What's crazy is that when you think weed, is the only thing that helps with certain things but it doesnt actually make you feel any better, many times it just makes you feel worse, and at some point just sort of numb.
I’m almost 9 days into quitting and I felt this for the first few days today I have struggled at all weirdly. I took the step and threw everything away bong hot straw torch tools and it felt like the last step of this chapter.
I never felt like I needed weed. It was just something that I enjoyed, and I was very productive while using it.... But the same reason, which is me not needing it, is the reason that I decided to quit. I told myself that if I really don't need it, then why am I smoking it? I disagree with the depression thing, I think that comes down to the individual. I'm very strong minded and have felt absolutely no depression or side effects from quitting weed.
I try so hard to not watch your videos because your voice is so untrained and unpleasant hear , but you are the only one on TH-cam gives good info about it , why don’t you train your voice and speech

Furthermore, one part of the brain that is damaged is the endocannabinoid system. One correcting this deficiency with natural cannabis - consuming as medicine - should not just quit.
Now, there have been 100s of millions of violent alcohol related crimes over the past 60 years, including the sexual abuse of 10s of millions of children, all primary causes of PTSD and other stress disorders.
However, the war on cannabis, the only competitor to alcohol, and most chosen alternative of the traumatically stressed, added decades of trauma upon trauma and stress upon stress, sending multitudes into chronic stress.
You know how those were historically treated.
In other words, multitudes need cannabis.
10s of millions of Americans are strung out on prescription psych meds because of these things.
I would argue half of them wouldn't be if they had access to high quality cannabis. They certainly wouldn't be traumatizing one another by the millions a year with alcohol related violence and sexual perversion.
I don't get depressed I get violently angry
Same the smallest things will set me off into a rage and I have no control over it. Been off it for 3 months and I do plan on returning to it I love my bud.
Anger is considered a secondary emotion, Usually brought on by other feelings. Look into the cause of the anger. Look up the Anger Iceberg
The first time I quit I didn't get either of those things. I just had really bad cravings and withdrawals mostly with a bit of depression and anger in there but not that much. Coffee also helps you calm down too and helps your brain be active in a way.
@@sensfan7550coffee does NOT help you calm down caffeine increases anxiety and jitters
Currently on week 1 of quitting crying my eyes out for at least two hours of day. Its fun. But i know i rather be sad then “fake” Happy and calm. It just numbed me nothing more.
💯
Damn, it's medical for me. I gotta enjoy that Mario kart 64 somehow......
@@skriznacrunthunner2178haha I hear you. Can't anymore tho.
Just finished crying my f*cking eyes out for like 20 minutes for no reason, I feel this. I'm currently on day 3 after 15 years (half my life) of heavy weed use. I feel awful, but keeping my eyes on the prize. I hope you're doing well!
@@MesozoicZac update??
Im 6 months clean of weed and still disinterested in most everything.
Keep going
Bro any update 6 months of feeling like that it painful. I’m only a week in I can imagine feeling like this after 6 months
How u doing man @@shakariwebster
@@shakariwebster embrace it i was sober for 6 months too and still felt disinterested ive been smoking again since a month or two ago and instantly went back to permastoned. Quitting again cus i again realized that its not how i wanna live
You might be alittle unmotivated but on the plus side (and i hope u can agree) its alot easier to be productive regardless of the no interest and ur anxiety will be super low again and youll feel alot more confident generally
i did notice it was alot easier to appreciate the little things without it. i would be super depressed at times but something silly like a nice lookin sky or talking to an older person would really make me happy
The reason why is because life is a bunch of bullshit and weed helps the existential dread that comes with it
This found my recommendations right after a depression attack.
Been clean for 3 weeks.
I really needed this video thank you
Just quit carts after 3 years everyday all day. Not depressed but I don’t really find anything fun anymore not even playing warzone or gta I’m just bored out of my mind but I just signed up for the gym so I hope that becomes something I can enjoy
Mega props friendo! How you doing now?
@@rehanfarooqui2071 I’m doing great bro. Caught Covid though so I’ve just been inside for the past week
Me too I just want to stay home and not see anyone. But I had to stop because I was quitting jobs just to smoke and that’s not good

I’ve dealt with depression since early high school and I’m 52- I’ve been doing weed edibles for around 2 years and I’ve never felt better
What’s up with the eggs 😅
Bruh 😂😂😂😂
Possibly as they contain Tyrosine...which contributes to the synthesis of dopamine...may help with withdrawal...
mans can’t even eat his lunch

Lmao Same! I was trying to figure out what he was going to do with the eggs the whole time 🤦🏻♀️ and why is there so many!? Dude, fucking eat them or put the lid back on!
Make yourself some scrambled eggs then haha
It’s the opposite for me, I am depressed when I am always smoking and it’s because I’m smoking and doing nothing active, productive, or creative. When I stop, my spirit opens back up to actually doing things and I’m not longer depressed. Because I’m not smoking.
That's exactly like me... I've smoked it for over 10yrs had my good times with it.. but now I'm done.. Its held me back for years.. Go to work all I think about is getting home to get stoned then all the stuff I wanna do in my life gets left till tomorrow which never comes... I don't smoke at work obv and I'm full of good intentions and think I'm going to do this and that but never happens... I'm determined to stop and I know my life will change drastically for the better... Just gotta do it.. Easier said than done... Good luck to u👍
@@Bigbob458did u do it
Same for me. I can have the best day, as soon, as i light one up, i get depressed, anxiety, and sad. Thats why im stopping now.
Commenting for the algorithm. Thanks as always, Doc.
What if you already had Anhedonia before ever trying weed ?
I've been off weed for 3 weeks and 2 days. At first it was withdrawal, but after this break, I just realised lots of shits sucks without it. Back to the joints
The problem is when it interferes with you ability to work. My work is heavily intellectual and based on problem solving. It's hard to get anything done
This right here. When I started my job I had been clean for 3 months. Then I regressed into doing multiple dabs a day every day. It's just not sustainable. I make more mistakes at work, and I'm completely unmotivated if not checked out because all I want to do is smoke and stay inside. Did you end up staying clean? If so, how you doing?
Edit: I quit, and while I noticed that I'm more stress-reactive (for now, as my brain receptors return to normal), I am more motivated and productive both in and out of work.
i work as a backend engineer and feel the opposite i cant focus sober
@@strelok5661 well seeing as the one thing everyone can agree on is that weed inhibits creative problem solving , learning and working memory. I'd say that the weed isn't helping you focus, it's probably helping you mentally forget negative feelings. Which negative feelings can make it basically impossible to code (i know from experience)
@@IDontReadReplies42069 I disagree with it inhibiting creative problem solving. I find that it helps a lot to come up with multiple approaches to a problem. For me there's a clarity. I agree that it's not great when you're trying to learn something though
So what if the same thing happens when you come off anti depressants or adhd meds? Maybe the marijuana was just treating the depression and it isn’t time to come off. Some people cant come off their meds. Not every user of drugs (controlled and/or uncontrolled) is an addict.
I’m on day 8 and although I do get the urge I’m more short tempered and experiencing headaches. However my teeth feel better and clear brain when I wake up. I think long term will be worth it
I figured it was just because I have bipolar and this’s my life now
Same
I take notes I enjoy learning about my body systems, these videos have kept me so motivated to quit and now it feels like I have a real reason other than just my conscious😂. (Been addicted for a year and since my last relapse 2-3 months ago was smoking every day) now that I understand my body system and why I “really” feel the way I do it is very helpful.
Thank you for this. I quit smoking 5 days ago (longest I’ve gone without THC in 6 years, which is when I started) and I was so shocked from how depressed and unmotivated I felt the first couple of days. It’s already started getting better. I’m so happy I’m taking control of my life again.
I’m on day 7! I’m starting to feel depressed again but I am telling myself not to lean into it because it’s just a symptom
I'm on day 21 and I still feel some of the depression, but all other withdrawal symptoms are entirely gone 🥳
Day 30 for me and the body aches, fatigue, depression are still lingering. I just want to sleep all day. I never used to be like this. Praying for all of us 🙏🏼
@@FrancescaFrancescaCan i ask where you're at now?
@@FrancescaFrancescawe gonna be okay !!
I don’t even get enjoyment from a smoking a 3.5+ a day atm or multiple strains a day which is my current habit , fed up of it tbf sometimes it’s more than a z a week
Trust me guys, ITS only tough the first month or two, but It Will get better Trust me, I was smoking since 17 and Im almost 23 and have a daughter on the way, so I had to stop, It was giving me anxiety, couldnt smoke like when i was younger, It was hurting my lungs , my relationships also sucked, I started to stay at home and It was all mixed up with depression/panic attacks, I also started having urticaria from touching the plant wtf? My body developed some kind of Allergy to weed this two last years which I didnt have when i was younger nd neither all those other symptons I mentioned before,so enough Is enough, remember, when u smoke It daily ITS an addicion just like with alcohol or heroin
(Sorry for my Bad english)
i tried to quit a lot of times but never make it through...i dont have any close friend around me anymore and that makes life so boring and lonely when you stop smoking weed...i hate what i have become
Being depressed under the infuence of weed... Maybe its time to change drugs xd
THC saved ny life 🎉🎉🎉
And mine ❤fuck being one of these anti weed people 😅they all are sheep
I’m 28 and on day 3, I’ve smoked pretty much everyday since I was 17/18 I have stopped weed twice in that time for 6 months and a month here 2 weeks there so I’m used to it, I always go back to it when I’m “normal again” because I think right I’ve stopped now I’m fine again, I’ll have 1 to enjoy and not make it a habit, but long and behold the cycle always continues, weed has both positives and negatives for me, or I’m just tellling myself there’s positives lol, I just like smoking weed I like the feeing of being high, it is the ultimate boredom solver,I’ve smoked it for that long that it doesn’t effect my work what so ever and I can drive fast cars whilst smoking a joint and be totally fine and in control 100 percent but my relationship with my girlfriend and family suffer when I smoke weed, I’m short tempered, paranoid, abit delusional, emotionally unavailable, I can control the weed for a short while but it always gets out of hand, and the other big problem is money, I could of saved 10s of thousands over the years and now I have a baby daughter I feel so guilty spending any money on weed knowing I could be saving it for her and my dreams, I’ve already got a really nice car but other than that I could be sooo much further on in life, I’m lucky to have a few nice things somehow cos I could be absolutely fucked and homeless if I wasn’t lucky, this time I’m gonna try stopping for good or until I’m rich enough where money doesn’t matter
Dude im 28 and my situation us exactly the same. Only difference is that I have a a son. I feel guilty spending money on weed when I could be spending it on him and experiences. Right now is not our time to be high. We have too many people depending in our success bro 💯
Ur story looks like my husbands story..but we have
Son and daughter...im tierd of him have 6 chances over 13 years....this is the last time I'm giving him chance ... Last time I left home didn't want to be wit him..but family reUnited us..
I stopped a month ago.. I don’t want to ever smoke again bc I was concerned about my lung health. I find my anxiety and depression are so much worse than they were before weed. How long will this last?! It was my only friend, my companion. It was my comfort every single time a person broke my heart. I hate being without it as my life is miserable and lonely and the negative thoughts about how ugly and fat I am never end. 💨 stopped me from overthinking too much but I knew I couldn’t do it forever. Anyone have any advise? I wish I never started.
Eat healthy,go jogging or walking, and give your life to the lord 🙏💯
3 months after still depressed, no job, no education, ima 22 yr bum living at home. Life seems overwhelming, don’t understand how people just do shit
I just turned my life around at 33 you got a lot of time my friend keep going.
In all facets
Bro your still mad young do something with your life
I’m a month and a half sober and I have zero motivation for anything. I’m just so blah all the time now
I've become a mental mess lately and for the past months I've felt really bad from smoking. Now I'm on day 4 and although yesterday was absolutte hell, Im feeling positive rn. Today I gave away my bong and my tray to a friend, and I actually don't even want to smoke agien, because I know that it will only lead to the same repetitive and loanly days home alone with noone to talk to
I have quite weed 1 week ago. It is very true that you find no joy in anything when you first put it down, you can literally stand in a corner for seven hours straight and do nothing, no joy 😂
First time trying to give up weed since I start smoking 17 years ago, haven’t smoked it in a few weeks now replaced it with hash to help as I didn’t like it but kept the cravings at bay now that’s gone too the depression starting to kick in but that ok I know it’s to be expected looking to start 2023 clean and focused on what I want in life
7 days into quitting never felt better I don’t think I’m in the pink cloud I genuinely think I’m happy about the choice I’ve made and I can feel emotions again and excitement in my heart
I don't know what's more depressing, quitting weed or that depressing ass boiled eggs n bacon
Reading has been a big help in distracting myself, one of the only things that doesn't feel boring
People shouldn’t have to feel guilty if weed helps them
I have quit weed before so I understand the depression part but man I do not miss it...Im a month into my second time quitting and almost nothing helps when the depression hits but those days are getting fewer and far between! Wish everybody the best on there quitting journeys WE GOT THIS!!!
Yo how are you doing now 9 months later???
@@nesquik5528 I have disappointing news…I’m smoking again but…I did manage to quit for a little over 6 months and at 6 months I still had some depression but way less then it was. It really just takes time man and if your committed enough you can do it for sure. I’m back to smoking by choice though so I guess I failed but hey stuff happens and there is always time for it again.
I smoked constantly for 10 years. I quit smoking for a year and never was able to get back to balance. I smoke again now. I want to quit again now. I'm scared that I will emotionally beat up on my girlfriend because that's what it looked like in the past. I'm scared that I won't be able to produce my own endoscanabinoids again. The whole time I wasn't smoking. It always felt like there was an edge that was there that it was impossible to get rid of.
"Cannabus" interupted my withdrawal feelings for a moment xD
5 months later; still anhedonic. Had to stop vaping nicotine and smoking mj after a cardiac event, but debating on if low quality of life is worth extended lifespan.
you're a life savor mate, keep doing what you do!!!!
White version of a crab 🦀 boil‼️😂😂😂 just kidding y’all don’t come after me…I’m also on the road of sobriety 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
What's up with the eggs? I eat a lot of them too.... do they help regulate dopamine? LOL
I get high and go to the gym lol.
I alreDy have this when smoking weed
Is anyone gonna talk about the eggs?
don’t worry about weed bro , but are those 3 eggs more deadly then the movie blow 🤡
Yo! I vaporize herb (not carts) everyday, but always in the evening, and the amount per day is like 0.2 grams. How much does daily amount factor in to all the effects you mentioned? Like is my endocannabinoids not poppin off anymore?
Every time he says quitting carts, this is the second time I’ve watched this. I keep thinking he says quitting carbs. 😅 cannabouse 😂 I just looked up as I’m slowly trying to dwindle off of it why it says marijuana with a H apparently that’s the original spelling, but I don’t know about the cannabouse caboose 😅
No, you don’t have to tell me I know I should be a comedian. I’m hilarious! ☝🏻🤣
Big thank you for these insightful and relatable videos. What's going on with the eggs?
What are the eggs for? 😂
Believe it or not. Jesus came to me. The Holy Spirit came to me. Dreams returned to me. Joy was suddenly available. If you're newly on this journey. Even half a percent interested in good news. Lean in on Christ and love. You'll have no depression. You'll have no withdrawal symptoms. Your flesh may. But the holy spirit within you will persevere.
Magnesium glycinate, NAC, & Creatine = the supplement trifecta for this.
I’m only 2 days in & woke up at 4 am after the worst nightmare ever.
I let weed control my moods when I had nothing it would put me in the worst mood. I couldn’t go a day without a spliff or if I went out I couldn’t wait to get back to have
A smoke. I told myself I’m strong minded after what shit I bin thru how am I letting a plant control me so I’ve stopped after 28 years of daily smoking 😫
'Nother tip: try to run regularly, it'll help boost endocannabinoids and thats how we can experience the 'runners high'
Plus it's something to feel good about :)
I think all these things take a lot longer than weeks and can take up to a year depending on the number of decades weed was used😣… BUT eating very high animal fat carnivore has reversed that trend for me - though I needed to nourish myself that way for 18 months before it rescued me from addiction
So does smoking CBD with less than 1% is not beneficial for quitting in the sense that you're still getting your cannabinoid intake from elsewhere and not from your body naturally ?
It makes me the person Ive always wanted to become✌️😁👍
All those struggling with the withdrawal symptoms
Learn n practice a breath work technique like wimhof or pranayamas to start activating indocanabanoids naturally in the brain.
Also drink more water n indulge in a new hobby like climbing or dancing
Pray n Practice self love
Alots of it
🙏🌞
Nah, I'd rather pray to God. That worked better for me
@@gabrielle-d1bdid he not say pray?
I’ve came off various opiates and benzos a couple times.. thc is laughable. Although it does mess with my appetite.
I got this the first time i quit. However not as bad as you say. And the way you prnounce things proves you never smoked as much as any of us did. Quitting carts? 😂they didnt have carts when i started. And now they have such innovative designs and ways of smoking far surpassing carts 😅 either way quitting has been great minus the vivid dreams i hope i dont sleep talk cause i probably sound tarded in my sleep hahaha
Reason #1 you were depressed before you started smoking reason #2 your still depressed after you stop smoking, problems won’t go away until you get understanding no healing some pills to thick to swallow which is the truth it’s hard to tell yourself the truth
After smoking for over 30 years, I found myself reaching for a joint whenever I felt my high slipping away. However, I am proud to say that I am now almost three months clean. To those who believe that there are no withdrawal symptoms from marijuana, I must respectfully disagree. The first month of my journey was incredibly tough, as I battled depression to the point of tears.
I am currently working on putting together resources to start a Marijuana Anonymous group in my area. My heart goes out to anyone going through the detox process - I want you to know that it does get better with time. Today, I am able to sleep better and recall my dreams at night, something I have not experienced in years.
This js completely taken over my brother life and fuck me his personal hygiene has a lot to answer for it’s making me sick
Every time he says quitting carts, this is the second time I’ve watched this. I keep thinking he says quitting carbs. 😅
Day 4 and I just beat the shit out of my living room couch. This is gonna be a journey.
Day 1 so far definitely rough
its tough i remember being a huge dick to people even my loved ones during withdrawal without selfcontroll
@@eskaban_edits_beats_and_more I regret so much I remember being such a big pothead when I was 18 it turned me into someone I despised wasn't the weed that changed me it was the fact that I had an addictive personality it does get better eventually eventually I want to get to a point where I only smoke during social settings and that's it
I relapsed. I can’t do it currently my emotions are way too out of control without it
@@jmag1410 it's such a massive bummer to realize it myself I'm just not happy without boof
Cannaboos?
So recently I’ve been taking a break from weed and I have to quit smoking it but I can still ingest it but I’ve had depression before and I’m feeling that the weed has no effect on my depression, because I feel the same as if I were still smoking every day but I seem more irritable
This makes sense when I’d exercise the good feeling wouldn’t stick you know what I’m saying
What's crazy is that when you think weed, is the only thing that helps with certain things but it doesnt actually make you feel any better, many times it just makes you feel worse, and at some point just sort of numb.
I’m almost 9 days into quitting and I felt this for the first few days today I have struggled at all weirdly. I took the step and threw everything away bong hot straw torch tools and it felt like the last step of this chapter.
3 weeks sober and it’s hard. I’m 26, been a stoner since 15. One day at a time
I never felt like I needed weed. It was just something that I enjoyed, and I was very productive while using it.... But the same reason, which is me not needing it, is the reason that I decided to quit. I told myself that if I really don't need it, then why am I smoking it? I disagree with the depression thing, I think that comes down to the individual. I'm very strong minded and have felt absolutely no depression or side effects from quitting weed.
Cool, just mind force
This is why I will never quit . Ever
I feel one smoking 4 puff and 2 month ago but I feel my brain melt and my hart melt I feel and dying plz solv my problem
Even after going a year sober I still find life a lot less enjoyable than it once was before I smoked. Will this feeling ever end?
How’s it going?
I think I'm going through that now I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with me It feels like I don't have a personality anymore
My thc receptors are fried, they don’t work anymore 😭😭😭
It’s day 7 and feel like I can’t hold on anymore this sucks.
Thanks doc :) went 5 days without weed then I smoked abit and got bad anxiety (like usual) now I’m back on track again almost at a week again!
I’ve already been depressed before smoking weed 🤦🏻♀️
ok, but why are you slowly opening this container of eggs and teasing the camera with them
Homie I didn't find pleasure in anything the only difference is, I didn't care.
I absolutely hate how the human body works. It adjusts to every god damn thing.
I’m getting around quitting after 15+ years nonstop smoking.
I’m scared, but I’m looking forward to reuniting with my sober self.
I used to watch porn while i was high but now i'm 2 weeks sober. Now porn is just a video nothing more don't get aroused .
15 days 🥳 , I'll never touch this🌿😐
I stopped smokeing weed and 6 months later I still find little happiness in things. I think weed fights depression not gives depression.
Lowkey
I try so hard to not watch your videos because your voice is so untrained and unpleasant hear , but you are the only one on TH-cam gives good info about it , why don’t you train your voice and speech
