Anyone that says you cant be addicted to weed, has truly never been a pot head. Big ups
CBD ♾
Its all in your head. You can control it
Facts I’m tryin to stop everyday never thought I would have a addiction it’s real
Or they are lying to themselves
Bro or they're the BIGGEST pot heads. It amazes me how people can believe it
"Weed makes you ok with being bored and when you're bored thats when you should find a hobby or do something with life" - Randy marsh
Yooo this %100 true
Damn I felt this one
Exactly .. I was a lazy bum on weed now im sober working two jobs i feel happy finally...
I felt this
Wowww...this comment got me speeches
I was in denial for a long time, but emotional addiction to weed is real. The thought of coming home from work to an empty night without it, is absolutely unbearable. It's like suddenly having to work on a holiday that you've been looking forward to. That one safe bubble where you recharge and decompress, is gone.
perfectly said
Hows it going now?
Soooo ur still smoking..
This is a huge factor for me but ive been trying to learn new coping mechanisms that make me feel safe in my body like cannabis did. Breath work and yoga is a huge component in helping me stay sober and feel good.
Summarised perfectly man. Such a tricky relationship with it, still struggling to this day.
Every time I’m high I say it’s the last time smh
Same
You got to start somewhere. One day that will be true
Same
Onnnnn meee 😭😭😭😭
@@bigbaggs1989 been sober 2 days today longest in 10 years
To everyone that’s stopping rn. It’s just a week you have to get through. One week of all out pain and you’ll be feeling great afterwards
I hope so bro 🤞🏽day 1 since going hard for 6 years... im trynna watch these videos and stay strong
I’m bout to do it should I wait til after this blunt or start now? 😭
This is very true the first 3 are by far the most brutal but after a week sober you feel great and not dependent anymore
@Sky Blue facts
Naw bro, more like after 4 weeks. The 5th week I felt amazing but it was for sure 3-4 weeks of hell if you're a heavy smoker.
Just passed a year sober, also quit drinking, cigs, and coke. Smoked weed for 15 years and almost every day for over 10. It controlled my life. Anytime I wanted to go somewhere or do something I wanted to be high. Now after a year I've learned why I was getting high, and what I was mentally running from and am now dealing with the consequences of running away for so long.
Weed can be good for people who really medically need it, but we need to be honest that it *is* a drug, it can be addictive, and even though you don't get sick like heroin or the shakes like drinking, it can take over your life
last year i made my first attempt to quit. i was doing good for 2 months feeling so great then some bs happened wit family an i was super stressed an i relapsed an been smoking everyday since then. im about to try again but i need advice on how to resist in stressful situations
@@fatboygoon4592 First step is to get rid of everything. Lighters, Pipes, papers, grinder, stash box, whatever else. Get a sober friend that you can call. If you can find a support group, even better. Take it a day at a time. If it's a crazy craving, get through 10 mins at a time, then 20, then 30, and so on until the craving passes. Reward yourself with something positive that you enjoy that's not drugs/alcohol after you get through the tough times. And remember, you're not a failure of you fuck up, you're a failure if you stop trying altogether. Do you have control over your life, or does bud? If bud has control, are you gonna let it stay that way?
@@dividad1 great comment
Well said!!
@@dividad1 thanks man! 🙏🏻
“If you’re at a lower frequency, weed brings you to a higher frequency. If you’re already at a higher frequency than weed, it brings you down to its frequency.” That really got me man. Very well explained. Honestly, I think that was the missing piece I needed to finally actually quit.
Ohhhh my gawd I thought I was the only one who knew/felt like dis! 😩😩😩🤦🏽♀️
Same !!! I’m gonna stop too , good luck ❤️
Me too . I’m super smart I need weed
@@warriorsage2305 This was my biggest reason for quitting. High IQ usually means you can see the world for what it really is, and quickly. And honestly, the world is full of horrible people doing horrible things for money and power and all at the expense of good people. I could see that but I couldn’t ignore it, but I also couldn’t change it and that felt so fucking bad. I couldn’t consciously will myself not to care that that was happening, so I needed some chemical assistance. Weed helped me not care about all the horrible things going on in the world. Even now I get so angry when I see it or when I think about it. I still don’t know how to let go of the anger, but I no longer try to mask all of my feelings just to manage one. Weed is not a solution, not even a bandaid. If you’re using it to have a nice time it can be fine, like a drink every once in a while. But if you’re using it to mask your feelings about something, it’s hurting you more than it’s helping, truly. Don’t dumb yourself down, try and find a way to use your high intelligence for the betterment of yourself and the lives of those around you. Don’t dull the sharpest blade you have, or it won’t be useful for anything it could have been useful for.
@@taylorbaker9588 I love u for this bro
The biggest mistake people make in life is not listening to their conscious in time
Yoooo if this ain’t one of the realest comments in a while 💯💯 follow my Instagram @hustle.to.corporate
That voice that’s like stop doing this or okay thus the last blunt lol
so true!
I have schizophrenia and I would like to smoke marijuana. Do you know something about marijuana? Do you smoke marijuana? What to do? Can you help me?
@@juanpedro4083 I suggest that you seek professional help instead of resorting to recreational substances. Find a counselor if you are struggling w schizophrenia.
Day 2 man. Currently 2:06am. Can’t sleep and this shit fucking sucks. But we push on. Good luck to everyone man. Shit ain’t easy
Edit. We 2 weeks in baby. I’m feeling great
congrats
Thank you g
any update ?
Buy OTC Unisom. Helped me get sleep ASAP ‼️
It’s been a month my guys. I feel like a different guy man. Energy levels are nuts. I can think straight. Weed is cool man genuine. But has to be in moderation.
I’m on Day 7. The first 3-4 days are always the most difficult I was very irritated and tempted. It seems like every time u try to stop trying to smoke the most shit starts to happen, but I realized that those are tests. Once you realize that weed is just a constant cycle of “temporary pleasure” it really doesn’t phase u no more especially when you have GOALS in mind. I’m way more in control of my thoughts, I can actually remember my Dreams Again and I have WAY more energy thought out the day and in the Mornings getting up
There’s nothing wrong with WANTING to smoke but the need to feel like you HAVE to smoke due to stressful situations is what causes unhealthy Habits and it’ll drain you.
If you’re trying keep pushing 🤎🤎🤎 it’s gets easier once you get past the self doubt I promise.
Peace
Thank you
Thank you for sharing 💕
This day 1 of quitting and it’s tough lol I needed this post fr
Thanks I need to read this ❤️🩹
This really made me feel better. Thank you.
When I found weed I fell in love. It became a social thing, it then helped me through my darkest time in my life but now I realize that all I did was numb myself to my true feelings and years later I’m paying the cost and trying to heal myself. I’m trying to stop but damn.. it’s hard
I relate so hard. Hope things get better for you - I'm still trying to quit.
I felt that's hows it been going?
Just work with it take controlled amount of eddies that’s enough for ur fix make a schedule for it or something
I don't know what to do anymore. I just smoke so I'm happy but still ain't happy .
I relate to this so deeply
I'm 44 and I've been doing this since I was 21.
23 years of not wanting to be present. 23 years of spending money that I could have saved for something more important. 23 years. I really need to quit. It has to happen. It's been 23 years since I've last dealt with real Shannon. I do believe it's time.
Thank you for this. You have no idea how many people you're helping.
2 months has past since your comment, how are you doing, Shannon?
I believe in you Shannon
Yesterday on a long walk I looked over at this beautiful house...I thought how I could buy it with cash if I had every dime I ever spent on weed and alcohol...I felt disappointment with myself...then I thought hey...I'm still relative young...I quit alcohol nine months ago...so now I'm quitting weed...
@@richardlawson6787 i feel you Richard! You won’t regret it, quit weed 3 months ago after smoking daily for over 10 years, best decision I’ve ever made! You can do it!!! 💪💪💪
Where you at? Try it for a month at least
Every single being who watches This video know that you are STRONG ENOUGH . THIS IS YOUR SIGN! You CAN do it ! I have faith in ALL OF YOU if you wish to stop . Much love 💜💜💜blessings along your journey
thank you fr❤️
Loads of love dude
Thank you im a very heavy smoker on my 3rd day off thats why i came to this video I needed to read that right now thank you
@@garethturner7174 I got you 💯💪🏽 we aren’t perfect so no that , accept yourself . But do your best . Prove yourself wrong
@@Vontaejack , again thanks bro 🙏
Damn, reading all those comments I realize how it destroys one's life. Smoking some shit feels great man, but in the long run, you are fucking with yourself. everytime I thought about going to my guy, I was asking myself how I was going to feel afterwards, what influence it had on me and if I will be happy. Most of the time, I was true to myself, but at other times, I just ignored my inner voice and just went for it.
And that's the problem. Stay with your inner voice. Stay with the person YOU want to be.
Be self-conscious about yourself. Be self-aware. Write down or think about your goals and about whether you could achieve them if you smoked one today.
Sometimes I didnt even want to smoke but did it anyway, cause I had nothin else to do. Find something to fill the void, something that takes all your energy and focus. Find something that makes you happier.
Be self-disciplined. I tried to always be the best version of myself, but I fell down anyways, I've had problems and challenges anyways. I was young and thought, if I am being great and still struggle, whats the point in trying to be a good man?
Looking back, I can only say: If I only did or did not do that. Because life is rewarding you for the things you do for the long-term. Most of the things that satisfy you in the short run, will be coming back to you in the future.
Love yourself so much, that you do something right now that will be of profit for you in the future, even if you do not feel like doing it. Do it anyways. Because it will come back to you in a positive way.
Stay true to YOURSELF and ask yourself: Do I really want to continue what I'm doing right now?
O wow, thanks for the motivation. X
Thx
Thank you
This comment deserves a reward. That was so inspiring and deep, much love and thx because i needed to see that
Great words of truth
Bro, I quit! Of all the videos I watched it was yours that gave me the missing piece I needed to understand why I wanted and needed to quit so bad. Thank you for sharing your story with us. You’re helping others work towards their healthy goals in life. Now all of my success is your success too. Happy to be on a higher vibration with y’all.
That's awesome!
I'm next. Pray for me!
@HoboGardenerBenI quit weed. I already don't drink alcohol. One day down, tomorrow will be Day 2. Thanks for the support
Super dope. Congrats fam 💪🏾
@@DougFLTRX how the journey?
Been sober for 1 month now after being high daily for 10 years straight. It feels amazing, first 2 weeks was a nightmare, but i feel so good now, like ive been born again! If i can do it, anybody can do it, just know that it Will get better, even if you feel like crap for the first couple of weeks, just allow yourself to go through it. You wont regret it, trust me!
Ive been smoking since 16. Im 23 now and Im making another attempt to stop cold turkey. 🙏🏾🦋 good luck to everyone on the same journey.
Follow me on Instagram @hustle.to.corporate its time to try to quit

Weed is that friend you can’t hang out with everyday 😂
nah
@@doperat9630 I mean yea but you’re still smoking a substance that’s altering your state everyday. Do you and get high if your succesful but if your successful and happy why not take a few days off ?
@@doperat9630 i doubt it
Daym that shit hit like a ton of bricks
@@doperat9630
Facts. Definitely not for everyone 💯
Almost 40 and have been smoking since I was about 16. Trying to quit is one of the hardest things ive been through. Anyone that says it isn't a drug hasn't been smoking long enough.
Being broke is starting my sober journey. Even these last few times smoking I’ve been wanting to stop and told myself it would be the last time. My wife and I want to enjoy life sober but being stuck at home this whole pandemic with nothing to do or go is making it so difficult. Great to see you all here though.
The pandemic also lead to more drug and alcohol use to a lot of people…I’m glad I finally committed to quitting….I used sober October as my first test…so far I’m enjoying it…I’m dreaming again and vivid dreams are nice plus I remember them…no more smokers cough
Yea I can’t quit crack rn
@@johnkreese4706 i can relate to that my usage got really bad during the pandemic
Smoked for 13 years and I'm finally taking a break I'm 2 months 6 days sober =)
congrats on your journey ! the break will clear your mindset and free you for a while til its time for your relapse .. i smoked for 16 years straight
how you feel now ?
@@adamliddle2060 3 months & 25 days sober currently I’m not going to sit here and lie they are times where I do miss it and want to smoke socially with friends but I remind myself to stay grounded.
I also feel more clear headed and deal with Emotions I was masking with the smoke 💨
@@moiwarning i havent had a sober week for years now, need to figure out who i am whithout this smoke
@@adamliddle2060 Do you know now who you want to be?
Weed makes me lazy. I need to smoke when I wake up and before I go to sleep or I’d literally get out of bed and roll up. I’ll be late to whatever to make sure I smoke smh. And truly I spend way to much money that I could be investing into my future with is crazy to realize. I hate being sober and I hate that I feel that way. It’s just weed right ?? Hell no lol it’s a crutch, anti depressants, a friend, and everything else in between. I smoked my last spliff yesterday and I’m making this comment in effort to make myself actually take action.
Your comment, is my everyday struggle, smh. It can be 3am & I will get up to roll up before going to sleep & wake up later in smoke after im up again🤦
Bro Fucking trust
Tbf, the weed isn't all to blame for being lazy. U could just be lazy. But I get our point. I've been smoking for a year, but nothing has gone wrong. I've been off it twice in that time without even realizing it lol. But now I smoke everyday, but I still exercise, still watch what I eat, etc. And my mental health is 98% good. Autism and weed is a nice combo btw. But all in all, it does depend on the person. Now I won't lie. 1 week after getting off, I did feel the best compared. But I still do feel great even when I don't do anything. Just got my 2nd covid shot, and I'll tell u, it hits HARD. Anyway. Hope u push thru, but don't worry too much. Addiction is nothing to cross out at all, but you'll be fine guaranteed. If you don't have any, find motivation or a passion. Mine is MMA, and I plan to fight professionally. Might as well enjoy the weed now when I can't have it later.
@@thorn3802 one year of smoking weed wont change u drastically. Weed does make people lazy. It slows down your brain cells thats why u move slower and more relaxed. When u make weed a habit ur body gets used to being in that relaxed state which active ppl could call lazy lol
@@goddessinnerg9744 U actually don't move slower with weed. I practice mma, and if there's anything I've noticed, it's that speed isn't affected. Also ur brain cells don't slow down. Stop believing the bullshit they tell u on TV and ur schools. Weed doesn't always make u lazy. It makes u okay with being lazy as well. Lots of people who smoke weed lack motivation. Also u need to learn more bro. Ur muscles relax. Not ur brain cells. Also weed brings out creativy and as for someone with Autism, it actually helps me concentrate and remember
Came back to the comments to say I quit! The first day was the hardest for me personally. It was a huge mental hurdal more than anything. After 11+ years of everyday use, I feel so much happier now that I’ve quit. My energy is up and so are my spirits. I have more patience and less mood swings as well. I find myself feeling like a literal ray of sunshine. Life is good. The only negative was the appetite decrease and bad sleep for the few first days but it doesn’t last long. The mental clarity is amazing as well as the ability to speak more fluidly without saying ummm a bunch of times. I use to struggle to find the right words or remember stuff correctly. I feel more confident, competent, and social than I have in a while. You can do it!!!!!!!!!!! You got this! Believe in yourself. :) it is such a relief that it is not controlling my life like it was. If this message resonates with you, just know I hope all of the best for you. I know you can do it!
I recommend staying busy and using a sleep aid to help get through the restless first few nights. :)
U still clean?
Bruh this shit randomly came up 🤣 and I stopped yesterday man God is powerful
Bro I'm in drug classes for probation and I'm smoking a bowl right now and this shit just pops up lmao I think I might stop too but fuck it sucks not being high
Your phone just listening to you bro cuz same here
I came here cause I ran out of weed and I’m acting like a crack head cause I can’t get any. So I’m realizing I clearly have an issue if I can’t function without it...making the beginning of this video EXTRA funny and true.
Omg 😱 lmao 😂 damn I remember that feeling smh 🤦🏾♂️ you took me back into some memories when I read this comment lol follow my Instagram @hustle.to.corporate
clever girl! You must be the right onex can I get your number?
@@dgccccc Goodluck
I hope u can be strong and find success
@@dgccccc bruh
The worst part about being addicted to weed is thinking that the addiction isn't "as bad" as other drugs so you keep ignoring it, today I am starting my sober journey after smoking literally everyday for two years straight. Ive been diagnosed with cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome recently because I was smoking so much. its time to take my life back. But jesus I haven't been sober in forever I hate this feeling.
That’s so true
thats the hardest part ! the realization that it definitely is addictive ! majority of everyone doesnt believe it is addictive and i was one of those people too, i smoked for like 15 years straight so you have the power to stop ! or at least take a break
Dude CH syndrome is no joke. Ive never been diagnosed but I feel your pain. It’s horrible to not be able to take a breath bc your stomach feels so bloated.
How are you doing now? Still sober?
Have you ever tried it?
I'm two days in and I came here for the motivation. I was almost tempted today, really hope my will power for what I'm doing this for keeps me going strong.
You still clean?
you got this… only the first week is hard after that you will crave it less and less until you can’t stand the smell anymore lol
I'm on day 2 without vape cartridges. Been smoking pretty consistently since I was 17, I'm 26 now. Basically everyday for 9 or 10 years. I've been a shitty person for weed. I've used many people and friends, lost most of them because I was just too faded. I'm in a good relationship, but have had troubles being a good partner, and I think it stems from my weed addiction. Never even considered quitting weed, but now it's time. I managed to quit cigarettes 6 months ago with one short relapse. I wanted to quit that for so many years. And now, I just need to grow up and become disciplined. Only I can change myself for the better. My current goal is 7 days without weed. My next challenge will be 28 days. I'm basically allergic to the herb, so I need to get better.
Update ?
Every time I get high now I get low. I get paranoid I can’t control my consciousness anymore. I feel you 100%. It just throws me into my head instead of being with the one. Getting high just isn’t worth it in the long run. I’m missing out on my life
Omg yessss it just made me paranoid and anxious
Live life while ur high it's even better.
Getting addicted to weed though is no joke, can definitely be a bad thing to smoke a lot.
@@BriasRocks lol it sound like you addicted and want other people to smoke so you can feel comfortable with yo self
@@RichFlowMenace
No kid but good assumption. No where near addicted
@@babygirl1807 that’s how I feel rn everytime I smoke weed I get anxious and nervous I’m thinking about stopping
To anyone who needs to hear this, you can do it, and ur #1 goal everyday should be to get past 24 hours without breaking, soberness from weed is one of the most rewarding feelings especially cause u go from forgetful to mental sharpness 💯💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Thanks bro this is dope and I’m not a weed smoker really I do it very seldom .. It always made me feel unproductive .. the only time I probably would smoke it recreationally is if I didn’t have absolutely anything to do!!! God bless yaw be strong 💪🏿
I used to look at heavy drinkers. "So glad I ain't addicted to nothing." Like weed is 'nothing'.
Pot meet kettle!
Congrats man! quitting here, so would you say your mental sharpness improved after you stopped smoking? tips for sleeping? thanks in advance
Thank you mate❤
Day 3, currently 3:30 AM and I still can’t sleep. But I’ll keep on going because I know it will be worth it in the long run. Stay strong guys!
How are you doing now bro?
If your suffering from weed withdrawal let me offer some advise...never ever ever use meth or opiates...I've never had the first withdrawal symptom from weed cessation....but opiate withdrawal is hell
U lying
its comforting to know that other people are going thru the same thing. everytime i would smoke i’d feel so guilty and say it was the last time , then once that buzz wore off i would go straight back to it. today is the start of my journey , i hope i make it. 💯
With a name like that Taurus gall you supposed to make it.
I really needed this video...I’m struggling so hard...
No one believes that weed addiction is a REAL addiction but it controlled my eating behaviours...sleep patterns...I couldn’t even spend nights at friends and families because I was too scared of not being able to blaze up whenever I wanted. It’s nice to just listen to you and for someone to validate the addiction because it is so f’ing hard! I’m new to quitting and I’m staying strong but the urge is real...
man its so crazy that the majority don't think its addictive, i really did a number on me, all the things your going thru i maxed it out, try taking short breaks often ! you might relapse a few times before you really tell your mind your done with it, at that point you'll have the power and self belief to quit
Jessie Ford I totally relate with you on that. I’m trying to quit now and what you said was a big reason. I felt like a piece of shit bc I would make up excuses to leave, avoid family get togethers, etc all because I’d be worried about smoking when I want and especially before going to bed. I’ve been trying to remind myself that I’m gonna be so much more present in my life and my loved ones life and really make the moments we have count. I’m happy for you!! You can do this!!!!
Lauren Williams you both got this 🙌🏾 small steps wins the race 🏆 don’t be hard on yourselves
Same bro when I don’t smoke I can’t eat sleep or drink and it sucks
@@jacobiglesias9298 its the worse thing ever !! it you finally reach past this though its so powerful
Currently 2 weeks clean. Even after being off it for a little bit, I’ve had a lot more energy and I’m not as anxious. I would just smoke when I was bored because I thought it was helping me feel better but in reality it was just bringing back my past demons. Keep strong y’all it’s worth it fr.. 👌🏻
Just imagine how much more money we'd have if we didn't smoke weed
Dont even wanna look at my cash app receipts on how much I spent on weed
I recently loss my ex to a motorcycle accident and I made the decision to quit smoking yesterday. It's hard, especially with everything I'm dealing with but I know it's best. I'm on day 2, and today has really been rough. But I'm going to keep going. It's great to see other people are doing better from not smoking anymore. Y'all give me hope ❤️
Stay strong 💪 ❤️
im so sorry to hear about your ex. i own a motorcycle myself and its a struggle when people dont look out for you. but we look out for our own community. you can do this, stay strong, dont let the demons win. it never works out trust me
I'm so sorry darling, angels are with u always. So strong bc i would never be able to quit in that situation so very proud of u!! Lots of love
I stopped for a few months after my mom passed away. Take advantage of the emocional motivation.
I’ve been sober for a little over a year now also. My mind feels much clearer and my thoughts process faster than when I was smoking over day. Congrats to you!!
Thank you 🙏🏾 really appreciate you commenting 🔥🔥🔥 I need to make more content 😩😩
that’s the problem with me rn my brain feels so foggy and i feel slower than my usual self, i think i have depersonalization
Am trapped 😞 trying hard
Imma try
@@tjgotbands My head felt foggy too. Been 1 month sober and have a lot more energy and think clearer
I’ve been smoking everyday since 2013, I don’t think I had a day where I didn’t smoke wee. It’s august 30th 2021 and it’s been 3 days since I stopped cold turkey. I haven’t had an appetite since I stopped, I can’t really sleep and my anxiety is through the roof but I’ve been thinking about the end results, feeling more energetic, gaining my weight back & just being a more productive person, good luck to everybody cuz we got this !!
Yeah the anxiety u feel in your chest and depression bruh it sucks but we got this!
For sure but I’m still going strong ! Appreciate that bro
How’s it going bro?
Try the wim hof breathing exercise brother foreal, slows anxiety and blood pressure, makes you much more calm

“If u don’t like bein a sober person, that’s the original human.” Straight freakin truth, ur original self
Funny story: I smoked a lot in high school, then I quit my senior year and joined the military. Did really well for a few years, but reconnected with the habit towards the end of my career. After retirement, I smoked consistently for 2 years and went from being an active and fit being, to someone who barely made it off of the couch. Desires to improve and achieve were overpowered by my desire to get lifted. I quit for 2 weeks each month now and notice the return of passion and desire to get better at things that I love, but each time I go back, the passions dissipate. Weed can be a fun vibe, but there is no greater vibe than purpose and discipline to see it through.
Currently I am 3 days sober. Thank you for this video
Yeah it’s not addictive but you can become dependent on it. The biggest drawback of weed is not wanting to do anything, for example if you have work at 11 and you wake up at 9, you are probably just going to sleep and maybe jump up and get your ass to work last minute but a sober person would just get up and take a shower, eat, and go to work…
Well thats why u use it in moderation..people go from o to 100 and than complain about the plant..find your own strain,frequency and dosage and it wll improve your life..daily is not the key
6 days sober ... smoked weed for 6 years consistently. I’m suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks. Just shows you how dependent my body is on this. I can’t eat, sleep, or think! But it’s the process of my mind getting used to being sober! I’m so sad right now and I cry almost every night for whatever reason I don’t know.. but I believe I’ll be at peace and happier when I’m fully recovered! If your feeling like shit, just know we’ve all been thru what your going through right now!!! You are NOT ALONE . KEEP PUSHING FOR GREATNESS.
I think Thats the withdrawals it breaks down all the toxins and the body is rebuilding itself
Ong same here. As im trying to quit, i notice how my anxiety is incredibly bad and causes me to go into panic attacks sometimes
Pineapples help
@@theleroyloveshow7926 what do they help with?
@@ChrisSmith-zv1qd anxiety. Also kiwi
for y’all saying it’s not addictive, it’s not like physically addictive with a chemical compound but u get like mentally addicted and think you need it, so in a way, yes it is TOTALLY addictive
Exactly well explained‼️
Fr
I've been smoking for 28 years and its addictive. Not like crack or heroin but you still spend a lot of money on smoke
no mate, that's not right, THC is the addictive chemical compound of cannabis. You can get terrible withdrawals like nausea, insomnia, brain zaps.
Think use addicted to the leaf or whatever tobacco product use using to roll up in
It's crazy how people lie to them selfs that they can control their urge of weed but smoke it everyday. Lying so damn much they start to believe it themselves.
I’m people😫 I’m sick 😅😅!
2 months sober and I still crave weed. The first few days were hard! The withdrawals were the worst: irritability, impatience, anger, major depression etc. After the first week, I started to feel clear headed, collected, calm, more my self. I’ve struggled with depression for years but I smoked a lot of weed to cope. The beginning of the second month I had a depression episode. Managing my depression sober was challenging because I was clear headed yet was feening more than the first month, it took all of my will power to not smoke. The episode has now past and I feel proud for pushing through. November I’ll be starting my 3rd month my cravings are decreasing and my ability to say no and mean it is getting stronger. So if you’re on the journey, stay strong! like he said when you have to deal with your emotions sober it’s a humbling experience.
It’s nice to hear your story man. I would recommend getting something or someone in your life that you love that can motivate you to become sober. Cravings for weed are because you don’t have a good enough reason not to smoke. My biggest reason is that I simply don’t need to. My answer to “are you addicted” has always been No, I can take it or leave it. And that is totally true. I had cravings when I was in a bad place but quit cold turkey when I was in a good one and it was easier than anything I’ve ever done really

How are you going budd i just started today
Weed smokers hate to admit these points but it’s absolutely true! Weed can have some horrible side effects on you and it’s DEFINITELY ADDICTIVE
Nah fr it is. Pros is that it did open my mind like 3rd eye type shit even manifesting type shit💀😭 made everything fun and I started slow then eventually I did it morning and night. Eventually it made me slow. I wasn’t playing sports anymore. I wasn’t going outside as much. I lost some friend cause I ain’t wanna hangout I just wanted to smoke. I couldn’t eat without it or sleep. So yeah you right. That’s why I’m stopping
@@Woahbo that shit deep im about to stop too
@@Woahbo this is straight facts bro
It’s not addictive at all for me. I’ve used weed daily for many years, but if I run out, or go a week or two without weed for whatever reason, I experience no withdrawal at all. It’s very easy to do without.
@@Ryannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn it’s the mindset you have when u first started that manly drives it. Also brain chemistry and personality definitely play a factor.
I started smoking at age 13, i’m 25 now and just ran out AND move to a new state! Please pray for me that get through it 💜
I’m 18 and I was 13 smoking a gram every morning until I was 14 because I was smoking them fake carts and my lungs started hurting bad but now I can breathe fine thankfully

I been smoking weed for about 30 years. As a Veteran who had PTSD, it was my go too, until yesterday. What you said made sense. You are going to have to face your sober self after all this time. I think I might like meeting him again.
You got this bro same here.
Same here bro
Right on man.
Like when we were little kids we used our imagination. We didn’t need weed.
We can can get that back.

Im planning on making a video concerning weed. Weed isn’t something to mess with. Started smoking when I was 14, made it a everyday habit from last year summer to this year fall. I haven’t smoked in two weeks and It doesn’t sound like a lot but I’m very proud of my self and I honestly don’t wanna go back to that habit. I pray and hope that anyone with this addiction can break out of it🙏🏽❤️
great job ! takes a lot of will power to even make it that far if you usually smoke ever day, so be proud !! and try to look at it as your new norm
happy for you and what you've accomplished, not an addiction though. I smoke every day, I've quit cold turkey its not that serious, stop the misinformation.
@@KR-ys1io youve quit but you started back right ?
@@KR-ys1io any substance or habit that u abuse that’s not mandatory or a necessity of life is an addiction. Pornography can be an addiction even gabbling can be an addiction. Just because it doesn’t have nicotine doesn’t mean it’s not an addiction. And it is something serious. I forced my self to believe it’s not an addiction just so I could enjoy it and think it was okay
@@raygood7986 by choice yes I did, mostly for insomnia and adhd. cut out everything else but extracts though these days for the most part. As I become busier again my consumption will continue to go down. Sorry for late reply I don't leave many comments so I forgot to check.
I’m on day 10 of quitting and watching you smell it made me want to smoke. That smile on your face is so damn relatable! Good luck to all try to quit, we can do it!
The thing for me is that there is sooo much ahead of me “good things” I can see it and sense it but I feel like continuing to smoke will hold me back from achieving everything that I potentially can reach if I’m sober, when I smoke I feel like I’m outside of reality which is good for the moment but over long run is bad because you can not escape from reality it will hit u no matter what so starting 06/30/21 is my last day pray for me brothers and sisters really need your support god bless y’all!!
That's so true I feel the same
I'm 31, i started smoking weed when I was 14 and a lot of other drugs have been used along the way....more than half my life!

I’ve been there 😂
Thanks for uploading this. I started when I was 15. Now Im 31 and trying to find a way for the thousandth time. Weed makes me too comfortable with having absolutely nothing going on, it’s like my life could be completely falling apart but if I got weed I’m still “happy”. Ive smoked about a quarter of high grade a week for half my life. It’s helped me get through the pain of losing my mom in a house fire and my sister to cancer 3 years after, but using it as an escape to drown out my senses has had bad long term effects, it always catches up. Would love to get this monkey off my back it’s the only drug I’ve ever enjoyed but you’re 100% right bro when you said you can’t love yourself if you’re not sober.
You’re frequency explanation is the best Ive ever heard someone explain it too. You get brought way up with weed when you’re already low self esteem. But when you’re sober and working out being healthy you are well above that frequency, so it brings you down actually and is unenjoyable to smoke once you’re sober and better. Good stuff 👍
As embarrassing as it is to say, my addiction was so bad to the point if I ran out of weed and had no money I would go outside looking around on the ground for roaches to collect. Since so many people smoke in my city I felt that was the way to go. WRONG. Smh, I’m not on that now but I’m still starting my no smoke journey today. 🙏🏾💯

I have to be high before I do anything and I hate that. I want to just be sober. I honestly feel caged by my addiction to marijuana, I really used to enjoy being high and my mindset is has changed and now it gives me hella anxiety when I think about achieving my goals. I feel like I can do it when I’m sober just not when I’m high and I think about it again if that makes sense.
Yea at first it wakes you up and make you feel like you can take on the world then after a while it makes you second guess actually getting things done... it’s a terrible cycle ... you can just take a few days off at a time and you’ll start to feel more in control ... just take short breaks if you know you do t want to stop completely... breaks help a lot
@@raygood7986 everytime I quit I get MAD , probably from no bandaid on the ptsd,

exact same thing happened to me. It reminds me of the idea that too much a good thing becomes a bad thing. I now havent smoked for more than a month and I feel a lot better, a lot less anxiety and I simply feel better about my future. I think that really what it came down to for me is I felt that my future was beginning to fade whenever I smoked simply because smoking wasnt enabling me be more productive and feel motivated to actually work towards my goals. I think weed is good to relax and ponder your dreams and goals you want to accomplish in life, but when it comes to actually working to achieving them weed then becomes a distraction, which led me to having severe anxiety as well as low self confidence because I knew it was no longer benefitting me and was instead hindering me. Anyway, i am feeling much better now without it and I commend you on realizing this for yourself. Good luck on your journey!
@@moses1007 i think you hit it spot on, being high makes you feel as if youve already accomplished your dreams, you even get to think up how everything is played out at the finished result, until your sober again and realize that you haven't even started chasing your dreams haha then you start to slowly become anxious and depressed
Became a stoner right out of high school. Smoked for 8 years on a daily basis, about three times a day. I’ve been a month sober so far. I told myself I would quit for atleast five years and see how my life changes. Who knows maybe I won’t want to start up again. But these types of videos are so motivating when u get that urge. Keep it up man 🔥
Apr 28, 2021
Update: So I think I relapsed after two months sadly... but I quit for 2021 and I’ve been sober for about five months so far. Longest I’ve gone!! The key is to find things to distract you from wanting to smoke. Just felt an urge to smoke that’s why I popped up here again to see what’s up and realized my comment actually got some replies lol 😆 but plan to quit for the whole year 🙌 take it day by day and they’ll add up ✊ best of luck to y’all 💚
Hows it going
👌🏼
See r/leaves on Reddit!!!
How did you get to a month being sober from 8 years of daily smoking ?!?! Liar.
How is it going?
Ray, your video really helped me stop smoking.
I’m a week in. Can’t sleep, can’t get an appetite.
But I just keep thinking whats the point.
I didn’t even smoke to get high. Just to maintain.
Thank you for putting yourself out there and giving me the words of wisdom I needed.
Bro I feel you on the childhood trauma bro. Same reason I started weed. When me mom found out and ask why I started I was scared to tell her I was sad asf. We just gotta build ourselves up and surround ourselves with people that love us and understand us. Keep pushing bro.
My mom died on Mother’s Day when I was 17. I Been a stoner ever since then for real
@@youngrickey4927 I'm so sorry for your loss dear one :( praying for your inner healing.
I smoked dam near every day for about 2 and a half years. It was insanely fun and created alot of good memories for the first few months. Looking back, I convinced myself I was still having fun for the years that followed, but in reality I was just trying to feel normal and rarely ever felt any crazy highs once the tolerance went up. Whenever I got high I immediately got paranoid and had negative thoughts, but still kept doing it. Now I’ve been 99% weed free for over a year. The few times I have smoked in the past year didn’t involve me seeking it out, and they gave me the highs that I used to feel back in the early days. The difference is now I see the rough effects of continuous use and withdrawals, so it’s easier to say no and stay sober 360 days a year. Alot of funny stories I’ll always be able to laugh at, but it feels good to be moving on.
Came here because I feel like I'm losing myself, my personality and my aspiration for life in general.
Yes, weed initially made the bad thoughts and negative feelings go away, but those feelings were replaced with other negative feelings.
Followed by a constant fog in my brain that blocks me from taking up positive opportunities and even figuring out who I am as a person and what I like and dislike besides weed.
My conversations aren't as vibrant anymore because I can't remember what to say or even forget what I'm talking about mid sentence.
Made me lose my drive to interact and have meaningful social interactions in general that weren't revolving around getting high, and I definitely realized it was an issue after I was counting pennies just to afford it.
Don't get me wrong tho, I still believe it's the safest damn drug in the sea, including alcohol; I just realized for ME and my addictive personality type it's ultimately counter productive if I cannot control myself and have limits when I'm around it. I'm not opposed to weed, I just think it's up to each individual to realize their limits, and if they cannot control those limits it may not be for them! Cheers.
Totally agree with your point

Hi neighbor, Inglewood native here ✌️
I really appreciate you being so real about this because I think it’s still a taboo conversation. I been smoking since I was 14 years, and now at 26 years I stopped. Its hard considering that most of my close friend smoke, and now confronting my daily feelings. I knew I wasn’t alone. I appreciate you!
Aye bro thank you for this video I'm one week sober after 5 years of smoking wax. I'm 23 rn and I'm trying to be sober to get my truck driving license. My coworkers who knew I smoked told me my face and eyes and way more clear. Thank you once again for the video.
Hit me hard when you smelled the weed and got a small trigger of wanting to get high. I still love the smell and I have learned that if I smell it and appreciate it in the same way as I would smell a flower outside then I get the nice effects of smelling it but can more easily move past the idea of smoking. Love the content man keep it up
Haha thanks for the comment ! Appreciate it like the flowers outside flowers 💐 🌸 🌺 Haha great analogy
The scent is a problem I stop smoking 2 days decide to clean my bong and bowl to put it away ... the scent alone triggers a craving
I was smoking before I watched this but tonight something clicked. I've cut down to just smoking a roach a night. But I kept feeling stuck still. But tonight I decided nah, I'm gonna give this shit to my dad. I'm done. Then I turned this video on. And man, this seriously motivates me so much. I'm very into the law of attraction so I'm just gonna watch videos like this all night long till I can fall asleep and try to attract sobriety because I'm tired of smoking man, been trying to quit for years. I really like how u described the whole frequency thing. That's exactly how I feel about it. I use to do harder drugs, but now it's just been a shit ton of weed and coffee. Tonight I'm deciding to get rid of those last 2 things and just enjoy full sobriety.
Life is so much brighter, better, and inspiring being sober. Weed has been bringing my vibes down for too long. I'm tryna be positive, happy, and succesful. Done wasting my time on stupid shit.
Thx for the video bro, take care and good luck on the rest of your journey
Good luck
10 days sober. 10 days of hell and I still feel like crap. Last time I quit I went about 7 months and the feeling of wanting to smoke never went away and I eventually caved. This shit is hard. If you're reading this never start.
@@MaryJane-gta5 in my experience every time I've gone back after quitting, even if it was just for one time, the cycle starts all over again. I'm also is a strange situation. I don't want to quit and I have no desire to quit, but I know I should because it's expensive and a terrible habit.
The frequency part at 19:00 really hit deep. I’ve been smoking non stop since highschool and recently (about a year) when I smoke it’s like it’s fighting me. I will feel myself vibrate then get a bit overwhelmed and it’s like I’m too high but not high enough at the same time. This video has given me a push in the right direction. Day 1 starts today.
I started smoking weed at 16 and I'm 24 and I can't stop because I'm severely depressed and that's the only thing that makes me feel good but is ruining my life at the same time, I'm planning on getting counseling and keep watching these videos.
I think that the weed is giving you depression because that’s what happened to me. The comedowns can make you so anxious and upset. Visit r/leaves for help as they are a community of people who also try to quit
Yep I think it causes acne too!! Quit now I’m on day 2
In a similar boat man... I feel like weed in hindering my potential, all I ever want to do in my freetime is smoke which is great when im enjoying it in the moment but I feel like shit whenever im sober just because I feel guilty about smoking so much and just end up being super lazy. I often think about what my life would be like if i didint smoke and just feel like id be a much better and more productive person. It sucks cause weed is something I really enjoy I just don't have a good relationship with weed, I think I find it to addictive. Hope you been doing well man, good luck to you and everyone else trying to quit✌
Or could they be going through some serious shit in there life and on a level as they stated its the only thing that helps.
I’m the same age as you- been smoking chronically since 10th grade. I grew up in a pro weed household. My mom gave me my first joint for my period cramps when I was 13 cus I hated pills. Growing up everyone around me (including mom) was on hard drugs or an alcoholic. I was a stoner but that felt mild and in control in comparison. I’ve quit for months at a time in my 20s but now I’m 28 and pot ruled my daily life. I was more concerned with when I’m smoking next then literally anything else. I’ve been sober a few days and I feel so creative, motivated and lots of energy. I really resonate with the frequency part you mentioned. My creative intelligence is high and I don’t want to dampen it. I’ve been with this plant half my life, getting to know myself sober feels like the new high. I realize how much I really like myself w/o it. My boyfriend still smokes and it’s important for me to be strong around it, hell the minute I see my folks they roll it up. Good luck to everyone in relationship to this plant 💚 we don’t want ANYTHING controlling our lives ✌🏼 weed isn’t going anywhere and it’s more available now than ever so it’ll be there but for now, I have some goals to crush!
thank you for keeping it real. today im done smoking and 3 days off booze. Amen.

Ray, you are godsend for me this morning.
I was just casually looking for videos to help inspire me to quit- just someone listing some reasons that they're glad they did or something- and I stumbled on this video. It was so much more to me than I expected.
Once you started talking about your mom, and there's some trauma you're hiding from with her being overbearing, you didn't even elaborate much but suddenly everything clicked for me. I've been addicted to weed for years because I've been hiding from similar feeling. My mother growing up was so overbearing- and I'm realizing right now so many many things about me (why I smoke so much, why the things that make me angry are the things that make me angry, etc.) are a reaction to that very aspect of my childhood.
I'm 30 years old and I'm shocked at how much I was hiding from this info that was right in front of me my whole life.
I really feel like this is the beginning of my journey to recovery- not just from weed but maybe even all the problems in my life. Thank you for sharing and being so genuine.
Smoked habitually from 23 to 38. 15 years quit cold turkey. Smoked 2 times in the past 6 months and the reasons why I quit and the conviction to quit is only that much more cemented in my belief that I made the right decision and I'm going to continue to live a sober life.
Same here. 21- now I’m 38. Time goes by
Smoked for 9 years heavy now I'm sober never felt better I'm 24 I plan on being sober for the rest of my life .

@@brooklynboy5834 but what if weed is something we just like? Not really neck scratching but just like it.

I think I'm in the same boat as you bro, I'm on my second day and its hella rough man I get cheesed at the slightest things and my withdrawals are affecting the people around me, its tough when we start so young and then realize what its actually doing to us once we get older
How hard was it in the beginning? As far as withdrawals?
Finally someone who made an "I quit smoking weed" video and stuck with it. Thank you so fucking much. I appreciate you.
For me weed was the glue between all my activities. Though I didn't smoke before work, it was my after work ritual. Then I would dive into my art. Then eat dinner. Then it was my after eating ritual. Then dive into my art again. Then smoke again, because it was my before I slept ritual. It sustained a flow and inspired me to keep going from one thing to the next. But then the glue got *sticky* and after an initial feeling of euphoria, paranoia would quickly kick in. Then rumination & confusion, followed by feelings of fear and anxiety. Then I would find myself looking for ways to calm myself. Once I felt calm and nearly sober, I felt compelled to smoke again. And the cycle continued. It's been 7+ months since I quit after 10 years of smoking everyday, multiple times a day. I find myself feeling empowered by living without a dependency but at the same time, due to the depression that existed before I ever smoked, I feel like a glue is missing. I find that I use eating (and over eating) to fill an emptiness that would otherwise be filled by the weed, which would jumpstart me and give me that feeling of looking at the next thing as exciting and enjoyable. My goal is to stop smoking for at least a year and that if I do smoke again, the weed must have less than 5% THC and balanced with a higher content of CBD to avoid sharp highs that throw off my endocannabinoid system/receptors. I hope anyone else who is struggling with a cannabis addiction knows they aren't alone and I thank you for making this video. Videos like these help me when I feel temptations, reminding me smoking vs not smoking isn't as simple as being high or not, its much more complex. There is a deeper meaning behind why we smoke in the first place and the side effects that occur during & after the high we love to romanticize.
Thank you for making it so relatable and I can tell that you are actually going through the same thing as me rn. But I can see you’re out in the other side it’s inspiring

very impactful video. i started smoking weed 3 yrs ago and have used it consistently to cope w mental illness and the hardships of life. i feel like i’m operating or starting to operate at that higher frequency now, and that weed is bringing me down and holding me back, i cant meditate when im high or use my whole brain, it feels like. but i know my mental illness didnt just go away because i’m more spiritual now, and i’m not in therapy, so i fear what my brain will be like without weed. but then again, i dont love what my brain is like on weed. so i think i’ll try to experiment w quitting. thanks for the vid man.
I’ve watched many videos on how to quit and honestly your video was probably the most relatable and helpful one. Everything you said Is facts so thank you for this video 🙏🏼
I got tired of relying on a substance (weed) for my own happiness and started to truly live without the need to her high before everything I do 36 days ago. I’m on day 36 consecutively without smoking weed and of course I do struggle with problems but it honestly feels so good to just be alive and sober. It’s a life changer for sure to be sober and definitely worth it in the long run. Weed only temporarily fixes whatever you’re going through and is harmful to the mind and lungs, not to mention you won’t grow as an individual if you revolve your whole life around it, been there done that, not going back any time soon.
22, been smoking since 14. Just hit 10 weeks a couple days ago!
Hardest part so far is the cravings for sure, things I use to connect with weed such as gaming, gatherings, cleaning and etc, it feels strange doing these things and not being high
Although on the same note, over time you learn that you can actually enjoy the activities you use to connect with weed, just as much! At least for me cause I was able to have a developed conversations and not be quiet, awkward and paranoid lmao
Long story short, the journey is worth it! I haven’t felt as much self growth in a long time

If you want to make a change bad enough you can do it. I am taking it one day at a time! I wish you all well in your journey of getting clean from Weed.
I started smoking when I was about 15 by myself and slowly made it into a daily habit. By time I was 16 I realized I was addicted, when it comes to my bad habits I’m really honest with myself cause I know that’s the only way I’ll change. Now I’m 18 and I’ve been on and off with smoking these past few years but now I plan to quit for good. I’ve realized every time I try quitting I end up being around people who offer and when I say to myself “just this one time” I end up slowly starting again. The main problem is that I don’t say no when I’m offered. Also when I’m sober my habits are all good. I read (and I’ve never really been someone who likes to read but I like how it expands my vocabulary, thought process, and my conversations flow a lot easier when I start reading) I meditate which is almost like a replacement for the weed and overall my mindset becomes more positive and I workout like crazy and follow a super strict diet. Once I started smoking again I slowly lost all of these habits and now I’m trying to get them back. I feel like I had things going so well and it all just went away. I’ve been sober for about a week now and I wanna smoke but I know I won’t. Slowly getting the good habits back already. I’m nowhere near where I used to be but I know I’ll get there soon lol just gotta hang on. Overall just tryna say weed can be addictive and ruin someone’s ambition. This isn’t the case for everyone but you know yourself better than anyone else does. If you know you could do more but weed is holding you back just think about where you could be. Life’s short so make the best of it!
thank you !!!! Just wow !!!!
“Just this one time” is my favorite line when I finally stop 😩
Shut up kid lol 😂
I can’t wait to say “I’ve been sober for 16 months” like is that even a real thing for me?
Yes it is! Good luck ♥️
Congratulations
I think it can be for sure! This comment is 6 months old, I hope you’re doing well. Hopefully one day we’ll be able to say it’s been 16 years, and then hopefully 50 years. I’m only 3 months in, and I find myself being irrationally grumpy, but I know I’ll get through this.
@@sowmindful1501 been 20 months for me after smoking daily for 10 years. Its been a long tough road I still crave it time to time but I resist the urge.
5 days sober and my goal is a year, these videos are helping me so much and I appreciate you and this comment section because it makes me feel less alone in this journey
I really hate the idea that people think you can only be addicted to hard drugs. You can be addicted to ANYTHING, depending on the feeling you get from it. I hope this quitting goes well for me; I've found over the years that it doesn't help my anxiety..it makes it so much worse!
Yes! It may not be as harmful as alcohol addiction but it’s still very bad for a person mentally or psychologically.
It is mind-altering basically, not like cigarettes(which are harmful as well). But mind-altering addiction is a big NO.
you described exactly how I’ve been feeling. I’m also from LA, around the same area you grew up. I was at Dorsey all the time cause I played basketball for my school. Knowing that someone from the same area and nearly same experience can stop for so much time and become a better person is definitely inspiring for me. Life has been feeling cloudy and anxious lately. I never get shit done I just wanna chill and get faded or I’m always worried about my responsibilities. I’ve been smoking since the beginning of 9th grade and I haven’t stopped. Now it’s my first year of college, I’m almost 19 and I’m disliking who I’m becoming. It’s definitely hard to quit in a city where everyone smokes and where weed is literally glamorized. It’s also hard when all your homies smoke and all the bitches smoke, then having to explain that you don’t smoke is just a hassle. But today marks the first day that I begin my sobriety. I’m tired of this and I know that if I stop I’m going to be more calm and less anxious those around me that still do smoke. That’s why I searched up “why do I smoke weed” on CZcams so I could learn more about my habit. You helped me discover apart of myself today, great video. All love
Thanks for writing this bro ! You understand the struggle !!! It’s stupid hard to quit when you grow up in the environment we come from... they will fuck around an call you a square or a lame especially the bitches.. they gonna just you just off that.. you still young .. maybe only smoke when they put you in a tough situation like when you tryna hit or something lmao I’m just being real bro... but I can tell you forsure I got more control over my life now forsure I’m a completely different person since I stopped and no one has that kinda influence on me anymore .. my mind is mine
I have a similar story as a youngin growing up in Northern California
If we can’t sit with ourselves in our true state, then there is a blockage.
We need to be able to be with our true nature with no “masks”
Spiritual evolution is not possible when your clouded.
Spiritual evolution is just a nonsense phrase. WTF is it supposed to mean?

Drugs actually are really good at helping you see a new perspective. Just in moderation.

Today is my 22nd day smoke free I'm 40 and have smoked almost on a daily basis since I was 12.... It was the only normal I knew and I couldn't even do anything unless I was faded. When I realized my daughter was turning 20 and her whole childhood was just a blur to me it's when I realized not only am I going broke to stay high but this shit is robbing me of life and taking away from my kids. It was fun while it lasted and I've tried to quit a thousand times before but kept the same friend circle and always took two steps forward and soon as I was around this circle I would give in and fall five steps back. Smoking isn't bad but when it comes to the point you don't want to get out of bed unless you smoke first or can't simply find the motivation to do what you love without smoking first that's when your not smoking it anymore that shits smoking you now. I've lost jobs lost thousand and thousand of dollars lost time with what matters most and that's my kids. Time flies by when you live high and take it from a 28 year veteran of the green it will take from more than your wallet if your a dad and it smokes you then it's taking away from everyone who loves you to. I'm 40 and it took me 28 years of smoking everyday to realize. Just make sure your smoking it if that's your thing cause one day you might realize it's been smoking you the whole time. After a week or so the withdrawals will fade but learning to live without it is the hardest part I just look at my youngest daughter and mush on cause I've finally realized there's no high that can compare to seeing a smile on her beautiful happy face
My friend who has a home theater complains if I want to smoke before the movie because I never remember the movie! I told him it's awesome because every time I see a film, it's like the first time, lol.
I’m so proud of you because I know the struggle! You’re very strong! Thank you for this video ❤️
