Anything that feels good can become an addiction. Eating food, whacking off, getting high, playing video games, and even exercising can become addictive
I'm high as hell and just lol'd when I read "whacking off" 😂😂😂
And I have 4 of the 5 addictions you just listed 😂
@@WeMustSecureABetterTomorrow most people do lol🤣
I do all of those , help me
I'm addicted to hot foods even though I shouldn't be eating them. 🤣
“Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.”
My new answer for anytime anyone questions me about my smoking habits
Very well put.
@@tomcarr8831 Same, but ima say it for heroin.
@@jasongay4831 I'll say it about pickle tickling too
K. That's all drugs though lmao
“It puts you in the moment” this is powerful because it really does. This is why so many people enjoy it, especially the ones who suffer from mental illness.
It contributes to mental illness
People who suffer from ptsd and schizophrenia will also find a use for it.
@@sammicoporsammicopor can also cause schizophrenia
@@zancudo7797 that’s not how it works
@@davidisthecoolestperson9627 yes it is.
“I’ve never talked to God, I’ve only listened.” Damn

Hooray!
I smoke after work every day! After dealing with rude clients and having to deal with management. It's definitely an escape for me. Nothing is better than smoking a joint after work, listen to some music and eating some good food.
It's definitely addictive but in a good way for me.
This is what my brother does too. Smokes every time he gets off work. It's understandable though. After being awake very early, dealing with people, with work. At the end of the day, you just wanna unwind and blaze up.
Amen
Thing is though its only temporary until you return to work
Yes sir. Everyday after blue collar work
Does nobody have a job that randomly drug tests you?? No good paying jobs lets you smoke.
Yes it is 100% mentally. I am addicted for sure
I was psychologically addicted for 20 years. I quit tobacco and it cured me of my weed addiction too.
@Perko Sherry there are no physical withdrawals from weed. Anything you witnessed was psychosomatic.
@@alsimmons1870 I agree. But sweating, shaking and sleep/digestive desorders thou psychosomatic, the manifest physically.
@@gravity_hurts That’s because, like I said, it’s psychosomatic. There is no scientific evidence that’s it’s physically addictive. Me personally, I’ve been smoking for 16 years. Sometimes I’ve taken a week or so break every few months or so. Zero physical withdrawals. If your mental withdrawals are manifesting themselves into cold sweats and what not, that’s a psychosomatic effect. Your mind is playing tricks on you.
Same here. I consider myself addicted to weed. I dont get sick but I become very uncomfortable and agitated.
"To some people."
Tommy nailed it with that sentence alone.
Exactly, totally agree with you, man.
this man really just played himself on that 70s show what a legend
I always forget he played that character well himself lol
Ohhhhh wait that was him??? On the that 70s show?
@@ghostcat8244 Yeah he was Leo lmao
I knew he looked familiar. Imao
Wait... none of you have seen Cheech and Chong?
yes its addictive, smoke everyday for a month and see how well you sleep when you stop
Op is right. It isn't just some people, it's just wether or not youre willing to deal with the side effects for a few days when you stop. Sleeping first few nights kinda difficult, eating full meals is very difficult when you quit and most of all you get a sense of feeling bored which leads most back. I've on and off smoked for so many years. The side effects arnt shit at this point, literally the bordom for the first few days is the only thing that is abit annoying when I quit now. It's mostly a mind thing, but it's side effects definitely can have some minor physical side effects. Let's also not forget that the inside of that pipe is exactly what our grass Is making our lungs look like. So that's not great either.
slept like a tired baby
When i take tolerance breaks i take 5mg of melatonin like 30 min before i go to sleep. Usually does the trick
Well weed makes you sleep better so obviously you arent gonna sleep as good if you arent smoking lmao
Its a proven fact you dont experience any withdrawals when you stop smoking so its not addictive, just habitual.
I smoked everyday for 8 years straight then had to go a month without smoking, and I didnt even think about it much, i think about it more when I can smoke just can't get any lol
@@TMeek94 could you reference that please? Or share your credentials if your an expert. You making a bold claim.
I love how expressive Steve-O's face is when the guests are talking; hilarious & adorable.
It's that rock solid, sober attention span. Love it
Dudes really listening
It's weird and creepy. Reminds me of Nicolas Cage meme.
@Deez Not doze super wet
@@sia3415 is that rite
Holy shit... when he himself says "I got smoked too much last night, I got too high"... I'll bet that was like a 26 on my personal 1-10 scale of highness.
Oops I fucked up the wording & syntax, but it's okay: i'm high and that's my excuse and it's sticking to me.
Gavin Valentino Bro im high af watching this and i could tell you were high before you said it💀
Dude visited other planets..😁🤣👽👽🚀🛰
I cant even imagine how much he smoked, like he has to have a big tolerance
Maybe he's on concentrated too...
I needed to hear this, having a rough time, lost my best friend and best dog in the world last night. Much love to everything and everyone
Sorry to hear that. Hugs for you 🤗
Sounds like your ex boyfriend owned a dog
they walk with you always and forever
@@stephenmcmonagle6946 haha exactly what i was thinking
Lmao that look Steve-O has is like he’s battling himself in his head about if it’s ok for him to finally blaze up again, and listening to Tommy is like don’t be tempted by the weed guru. So conflicted inside so funny.
Fr
He really is, but I don't if he will ever do it again. He was actually fkn addicted to almost everything 🤣🤣
He's said in podcasts before that he would like to smoke weed again, but worried because he smoked at the same time he did other harder drugs that he was addicted to, it might lead back to those addictions to hard drugs
steve o would have a panic attack and be self conscious if he smoked the good stuff now.
@Q Daddy i feel you man. Sometimes I'm fine but then other times I'm having a panic attack. My brain is honestly fried from hard drugs tho I feel like that has an impact
I’m in my 50’s. I smoked daily since I was 16, but I had to stop when COVID came around. Didn’t have the scratch to pay for it. I had no craving at all after about 4 days. One thing I noticed is my dreams are way more vivid now. I’ve even been having lucid dreams lately, which are wild.
Because pot suppresses rem sleep and dreams
@@benthompson7221 for some probably but not everyone
@@TheLordsBlood it's pretty well known science and I've experienced it myself being a 10+ year pot smoker
@@benthompson7221 I'm 22 yrs every day smoker definitely doesn't suppress mine in any way. Dont use your own experience in these kind of things everyone is vastly different in infinite ways.
@@TheLordsBlood I have to disagree I think you're full of crap
"It puts you in the moment" that is fact.
I like this because it's the way I've been looking to describe how it affects me.
Simple tasks like making dinner, or cleaning up are just more fun when stoned
i love when steve is listening and making that face he does. fully engaged makes for a great listener.
Anything that elicits a positive stimulus in the brain can be addictive. It’s different for everyone
I used to smoke everyday for 12 years straight. But even though I quit, I still fully support marijuana 110%. However, I will say that out of everything that I've done, and have gave up - quitting smoking weed was one of the hardest to deal with, and it was almost entirely mental. I was fully dependent on my bud, and when I split away from it, I wasn't myself for at least 6-8 months later. I eventually balanced back out. But I do know for a fact, that for those of us who are prone to addiction, (and even for some of those people who are not) - it is definitely something that can lead to mental, and physical dependency. It's "withdrawals" or whatever you want to call them, won't cause as much pain and havoc as say, an opiod. But it still messes with you in more ways than one when you stop - especially when you do it like I did.
What made you decide to quit after smoking for 12 years straight?
@@austincharles967 I enlisted into the Army.
That would have been the same with any habit that becomes routine. We are routine/habitual beings.
@@atodaso1668 Yep. This exactly. I've been a pessimistic/down on myself/own worst enemy, kind of person for most of my life and due to that, i struggle immensely today w/ myself.
I hate the idea of being dependent on anything outside of myself. Because of that, I never let anything like weed become a habit.
Love this clip! TC explains himself very well and it makes so much sense. I suffer from other addictions and mental health and use marijuana to help me with both. I've stopped taking more than half my meds because of being able to smoke MJ. It just helps me in so many ways.
Tommy Chong is definitely a great influence on me... smoking marijuana helps ME clear my mind... and be able to look at the world, and accept things for how they are. Helps me slow things down, and remember to stay calm
Exactly
Very cool discussion!
Keep on going, Steve-O!
You are a legend & a role model🤟
If you want to know "how bad marijuana is" for you, remind yourself that this man is 84 years old. Here he is having very mentally sharp conversations and still doing daily exercises and happy and eloquent and loving life. At 84! And a chronic smoker! Or how Willie Nelson is still touring at 90 years old and he's another stoner. Meanwhile, the angry stressed out drinkers in his generation (who largely hated "stoners") are now either dead and gone, or in WAY worse shape. Marijuana has some chemicals that aren't great for your lungs just like cigarettes, but two HUGE differences are that most people are puffing maybe half a joint to a joint a day, not 3 damn packs like cigarettes, and also, there's anti-inflammatory and anti-tumoral properties in cannabis that roughly offset the carcinogenic harm to bring it roughly net-neutral in terms of lung cancer risk. On top of that, it's psychologically de-stressing for people, and stress itself is terrible for immune health and inflammation. Most old stoners are people where weed helped them take life a little easier than their dead peers.
To pretend as if he's fully there is quite a stretch. He's definitely got "burnout" energy. It's proven marijuana has long term negative effects on cognitive function. No disrespect to tommy but he's definitely not "sharp" if you will. He'd be alot better off not frying his brain for 50 years
@@trident5523 Well Timmy-Boy, Tommie Chong is 85 years old. He's a self-made millionaire. He also has millions of fans. He also has a successful cannabis business. He's also living a fully independent life and conversing on podcasts for two hours at a time at 85. "Burnout energy", huh? I highly suspect that "burnout energy" of his has earned more money, more fans, more fame, and a longer healthier life that you ever will have. Humble yourself, cowboy. You're an ABSOLUTE NOBODY compared to him. His life has TOWERED over yours, and you have the nerve to act like he's a burnout? What's that say about you? Sounds like you're perfectly sober and wayyyyyyy less successful in every meaningful metric lol.
@@Hollowsmith he's an anomaly, 99.9% of people who waste their life away being high 24/7 amount to nothing. He's the 1 in a million. One movie made him and everything he is. I'm not hating but your defending him so hard it's rather bothersome. I'm simply stating the facts you can clearly see he's cognitively impaired from years of marijuana abuse.
You know nothing about me, you don't know what I've already achieved, what I'm currently working at, and what I've got ahead of me. You couldn't fathom it. I'm 22 with 3 houses and 3 businesses going strong. My net worth is already "millionaire" status. I just hope that one day when I'm as big as Tommy you lick my boots and defend me in the comment section as well.
Bro, and if you use edibles there's practically no way you can have any health problems. But I would probably say that the social and physical harm of things like mushrooms or LSD is lower.
a joint a day? i smoke like 10 blunts a day maybe lmao
3:57 Stevo looks like he's trying to hold in a shit or trying not to laugh he looks very tense
Man, I can really relate to what Tommy said. Also, it is so great to see Stevo on a solid path. Keep it up brother!
Really spot on when he says it enhances whatever you do in the moment, definitely makes things feel either more intense or more profound
"Psychological Dependency" is the clinical term for "I like this so I want to do it".
Thx.. real nice conversation
Loved this podcast
Just gonna watch this as I'm lighting a joint.
Same.
Same lol smoke everyday
At this moment I breaking up a bowl while watching Tommy and Steve-O on a nice sunny day in the Midwest where we haven’t had many sunny days lately and I must say it’s really relaxing.
This helped me majorly. Thank ya!
I’m not a marijuana smoker myself but I find it fascinating to listen to other people and their experiences/thoughts with it
Tommy is forever a legend to us all.
Addiction doesn’t have to do with the thing itself, I feel like addiction is more depending on the user or who’s ever using it. Like anything in life can be addictive some people are addicted to video games
Just gotta change what your addiction is some people are addicted to making money heard this somewhere on the internet
i can literally get addicted to everything. i only choose bad habits bc I am dumb af.
No, it's chemical addiction. Study the affects of weed on your brain, and you'll see. You get addicted because it fucks up the natural distribution of certain chemicals.
This was awesome man thanks for the vid Steve-O
Bud is the only thing I’ve willingly gotten myself addicted too
Anything fun is addictive to an extent
Sex, sports, competition, drink...true
My strange addiction just proved anything can be an addiction if you associate it with pleasure hard enough.
Steve looks like he took shrooms before this podcast
Thats the best description of being high I have ever heard. The way you really notice all the details in something it puts everything in its simplest form and you see things for what they really are. You will notice parts of things you didnt notice before.
Steve-O's constant expression is, "man this dude is on cloud 9"
The look on Steve's face like "get it out already man!" Lol
Hahaha his face was tripping me out
He looked crazy!!!
I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that 😆
Tommy boi is just to ChiLL for y'all face paced ppl. And that's a fact jack! ✌️✌️
He was holding himself back so hard to respect Tommy and let him talk lol high energy Steve-O
This is why I love Tommy, the thinking part was so damn relatable.
It's like art you have never seen before ... that was so funny man and stevos face was the best
Smoke every day for a while and you can really feel how it affects your mind, your sleep, your emotional states, your moods, when I stopped for a while I could feel it in my body, it's not like your body hurt but it definitely you feel different
LOST IN THE MIST
@@hankwylderson7196 well I’m not complaining rn bout being in this mist it feels nice all day
Tommy makin Steve 0 wanna light up a joint again right now lol
I love how usually the people who tell you it’s not addictive and that they could stop whenever they want, have smoked every day for the last 10 years lmaoo
Yes addicts come up with all sorts of rationales and reasons to continue their drug of choice.
I like to smoke myself, but absolutely hate when people call it "medicine" or "staying medicated"... call that shit what is is... getting high
I absolutely love Tommy Chong's analogy about feeling high but you don't remember what you did. Those times when you're just sitting there feeling really good but you don't remember doing anything to get a buzz. Because honestly sometimes that just happens you feel almost like you're high, when you did nothing to get high. That's the amazing thing about life and the human body, sometimes even if you're a heavy user like Steve was at times you just feel good because of endorphins in your body naturally.
Still find it unbelievable Steve is stone cold sober for so long though, the guy really used to be an animal.
"Do you talk to God?.. No, I never talk to God.. I only listen.." The Legend himself Tommy Chong..🤘
I brought you up at my first twelve step meeting Steve-O. I was like if someone that wild can pull it together and kick ass as much as you are I can too. Peace brother.
I was in rehab back in January 2019, mainly for alcohol. I've managed to not take a drink since then, but decided to get high sometime in October of that year. I didn't choose to quit smoking again until February of this year. For me, quitting smoking pot was in some ways harder than quitting drinking. Praying that I keep up with my current sobriety. Just one day at a time
Keep it up man! 2 years sober isn't easy, and that is great that you were able to get off the weed too. If Steve-O can do it, you can as well. One day at a time is an excellent way to look at it.
That's awesome and wishing you the best everyday
After You quit, did You felt sick? Like no appetite, and that kind of syntoms?
@@TheAndreseao no appetite, very irritable, difficulty getting to sleep, and feeling unable to relax have been my withdrawl symptoms. My therapist even confirmed that these are real withdrawals. Felt better after a few weeks though. I still get cravings like a mofo, but I got my appetite back and the other withdrawal symptoms have lessened. Dont feel like you're alone on this, because you're definitely not
You got this dude, you are strong
steveos fave while tommy is talking 🤣🤣
Love this vibe tribe brothers
I just gave up smoking after blazing Daily for over twenty years. It's definitely physically addictive. I couldn't sleep for a month
Thats psychological, physical means like cramps, diarhea, cold sweats all day, flu symptoms, u feel like dying and need the drug to function, weed dont do all that it fucks things like eating, sleeping, and stress but none of these are gonna physically distress ur body into pain
@@arlyvla Cannabis withdrawal can include cause, headaches, sweating, stomach issues, chills, insomnia. Most definitely physical.
@@arlyvla it's not as physically addictive as heroin, but you still sweat get cramps, chills, insomnia etc. It was still hard to stop and took me about a month to get back to normal. Weed not being addictive is just pro weed propaganda.
@@arlyvla I’m 2 years late to this comment, but I just want to share that I got night sweats and constipation for the first 2 weeks of abstinence after smoking for 20+ years. Weed is 100% physically addictive.
I’ve been smoking weed every day since I was 14 I’m 31 now married with 2 kids but I still can’t stop smoking so in my experience it’s highly addictive but not a negative way 🤙
Because if you have your shit together like you seem to have. What’s the point of not smoking, especially if it’s not bringing anything negative in your life lol
I'm 38 single no kids and smoke like Snoop Dogg lmao
@@eXcaliber7 hellz yeah
@@yokoh691 i had to stop because it fucked with my short term memory, started to give me anxiety and i noticed i was going for it whenever i was feeling sad or depressed. Had to stop and look at my life and why im turning to substance abuse.
It was much easier to stop and realize what was actually wrong with my life when i stopped and asked myself "why am i going for a bowl right now? What am i feeling thats making me want to go for this?". Now i dont know if i want to go back because the clarity i feel without it is astonishing in comparison. Even though i miss it all the time i try and remind myself the reasons i quit.
So true.. thanks tommy thanks steve you guys are legends
I use it to think too👌 I have adhd and a constant worry of stuff I should be worried about when I’m sober. But when I smoke it makes me productive.
Feel suicidal everytime I quit, no matter how long.
Me too
@@smesniklipovi5332 feeling it right now not even a full day without. Just wanna take entire pill bottle of xanax. Hate life. Not worth living at all for anything or anyone.
It’s addicting because it makes you feel so damn good. Of corse I wanna do it again 😂
watching steveo face while chong brought up the bible and not meditating , was hilarious , steve o you should do a group meditation on here , start a steve o meditation , you being quite for an hr would be pricless and its like ying and yang you meditating , and yes i heard about you meditating for a yr now , seriously congradulations on that , yogananda talks about a certain number of hrs of meditation to reach enlightment or something to that extent . and meditation is the one thing i will stand behind in this world and promote it your doing fantastic work brother !
I'm not getting all in a state when I run out these days... Things just get a bit boring af and frustrating but it's good to have a good break
Lmao steveo looks like a thumbnail
Aside from the positive affects like treating pain, anxiety or lowering blood sugar or cholesterol: One can develop Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) - This means that you develop such an ironclad tolerance to marijuana that you have to consume increasing amounts to feel the same euphoric sensations. Other draw backs are that some people may develop respiratory problems and as it increases heart rate can have cardiovascular affects and cannabis withdrawal is also related to watering eyes, depression and restless leg syndrome.
It's not a disorder. It's just drug addiction. No need to overthink it, or give it its own name. The flood of chemicals that pound your brain when you smoke it causes extreme imbalances after awhile, which in turn causes issues in the person's thinking/behavior/life.
Pretty simple stuff.
Idea for Steve O: If you found a way to put your mugshot + the consumer’s first mugshot on the other side, that would be really dope. 😂
God is the constant force of love that drives the bus...thank you, Mr. Tommy Chong & Steve-O!
The expression on Steve O's face is like he's waiting for this massive surprise... lol.
It can for sure be addictive. Not like hard drug addictive, but most certainly mental. I was smoking everyday 3-5 times a day, it wasn’t even fun it just became a routine. Been 7 months sober now and I feel great. Just always have control and a limit to whatever you do and you’ll be fine.
That’s why I stick to one gram a day no more no lesss
Have you still quit? How are you feeling? I noticed the high itself wasn't so great anymore, not like when you first start.
Powerful A plus my friend
Steve-O's smile while Tommy was talking made me smile
Damn wished I could enjoy weed as much as Tommy or others. Everytime I smoke now I just end up couch locked, paranoid of my surroundings while thinking retrospectively on my life. That constant self-reflection just puts me in a semi depressed mood, so I'm not able to really enjoy being high.
so true, when I smoke I think about anything remotely questionable I've ever done, even if it was 5 or so years ago
when I smoke concentrate and play video games I feel like my whole body is being sucked against my chair and it’s hard to get out words
It fucking sucks and it’s been fucking my stomach up lately but yeah
don’t smoke so much brotha
Try smoking more indica weeds, sativa’s makes you more and more thinking weird shit.
Stoned= indica’s
High= sativa’s
@Luke ye its called barf Syndrome 1.0
It depends on the person.If youre a more negative person and in a depressive state of life its easy to get into it and hard to get out of it because you just dig deeper and deeper with your thoughts. Also the longer and more regular you smoke it makes you less motivated to do or achive things.
Steve-O's interested listening face is the greatest thing ever.
Smoked for about 6 years straight. I was definitely addicted lol. Like he said tho, it's not physically addictive. It's a mental addiction.
Theres dependency and there's addiction. For 15 years I was dependant on it and addicticed to the tobacco that I mixed it with, without smoking cigarettes, only spliff. The line between the two got blurred. The nicotine told me I needed to smoke and smoking was only worth it if ganja was involved.
I had a year of just pipes, pure herbs, and I just smoked whenever the day/time allowed, no constant need to smoke, no addiction involved and so much better.
But next week will be one year since I've smoked anything and feel good for it 👍
Time to change your name rookie.
Yeah you've got it too right kinda how I am right now I've got a bong but prefer spliffs
Mixing tobacco and weed is the most idiotic thing people do. Like, do you pour whiskey in your wine? Why tf would you do that?
@@oldrigenovy Can't carry a bong everywhere. Not everyone can afford blunts all day. More discreet than a pipe in public. Many reasons, it's the most used form of consumption in the UK and most of Europe. Your analogy of mixing wine with whiskey is abit whack 😂
@@joshwilkinson947 It's the same smell as lighting up a cigarette while piping. People is noticing anyway. Mixing it ruins flavor and, as you said, creates physical addiction. So there's actually no good reason other than "cause other people do it".
this was a awesome sit down bro
Steve O, glad you became sober, this you is the best you, some people are meant to be fucked up all the time and your just not one of those people who is best at being you all fucked up,sure it gave us laughs and you’ve had stupid times, it helped you to get sober though, like I can see when you smile and are literally just happy to be alive and be sober. That’s everything man! Also I consider someone who smokes pot and drinks to be sober, as long as it’s not all the time thing and it’s every blue moon and special occasion’s
I used to get really salty when people would say marijuana is addictive. But then I stopped after months of hardcore daily smoking. I found myself back down to Earth in the worst way like Lord Chong was saying, mentally it can easily be addictive. I was really depressed, couldn't hardly sleep and I honestly hated my life because I got used to the enhanced reality that marijuana provided. Make no mistake as soon as I can start back I will in a heartbeat, because I like it, its fun. But I can definitely see how it can be considered addictive.
Well exactly! If you're day is improved with the chemical substance, what happens to your days without it? Going down in enjoyment. Most people don't see that until they stop the substance. When they're on it, they say it's not addictive LOL, once they stop, they see how it was addictive.
I smoked chronically for 2 years then quit cold turkey, what happened was my moods were so extreme that at 1:00 AM at night I felt insane so I rode my bike all the way to town raining and bought a bottle of gin and I barely drank back then.
What a powerful interview.
That was really insightful
Don't blame it on the herb
Happiness is like a horse without a spare tire
I'm definitely addicted. But it has no negative effects on me.
I just love the guitar revealed after he sneezed 🤧
Yeah it's habit forming like all drugs, but as someone with autism and ptsd it helped me teach myself guitar
Hey Steve-O happy you decided to stay with us a while longer, second time watching the Show and thankful for 'ol Chong sharing some knowledge with the world. Anyway, is weed addictive?? I'm an ex-addict that struggled with heroin for nearly two decades, as well as a ton of coke and the occasional meth. I'm Bi-polar II, with depression and crippling anxiety issues, so I've become addicted to Benzos for over a decade as well. Started smoking herb early in life and am now 43 and use marijuana as my attitude adjuster, to help with pain, anxiety and insomnia also, but when I run out I quickly decend into the "every minute of life is hell" mindset, literally becoming someone nobody wants to be around and that includes myself. I used to laugh at the people who called weed addictive, comparing withdrawals from hard dope to running out of weed and they aren't even in the same ballpark, but now I have a different opinion.
I love weed always, its very helpful for creativity and overall vitality and wellbeing
I’ve never had physical withdrawals from it but when I don’t smoke I get worked up easier so I go back to smoking. Idk if you would consider that addiction but yea it’s definitely in a grey area.
@Riley D I don’t get any of that bro I just get annoyed easier not no mood swings or heat flashes dawg and I sleep like a baby. I just feel with marijuana you just blow off little annoying things that happen throughout the day and when I’m sober it’s just in my face no escaping it 😂
He's so right that it keeps you in the moment like mindfulness does
Tommy was OD fried for this interview 😂😭 talkin like a collage kid being called on by the Professor
I’ll be 4 years sober of any alcohol or pills come Nov. 20, only thing I do is smoke and can honestly say it’s one of the big reasons I was able to quit pills and alcohol. Tried for 10 years to do it the completely sober way(Big Book, AA, 12 Steps, 100 meetings in 100 days) and it nvr took. Decided to take some teachings from everything I’d learned and added some pot into it and low and behold I’m happy and healthy now. But then again that doesn’t work for everybody either, everybody’s different.
Yes it's true, bud is good for a certain amount of people. I'm saying that because like any other medication taken for whatever, there'll always be side effects for a group of people. Also the problem is it does Infact make ya think too much like Chong said. It'll have you concentrate on negative aspects like mortality, the end. Or what is on your mind during this height
I'm glad it works for you brother. I can't because it just starts me on that spiral. But you do you. I'm happy for you I wish I could.
Best cure for addiction is a replacement
Or think of it like this: it worked for some time, but if you smoke enough, afterwhile the high isn't as good anymore, not like when you first started.
@@atmosrepair nah 2 years later and it’s still working fine for me
Yes, I cant eat or sleep without it
Love you Tommy! Wise words
AWESOME.. God Bless..
Tommy Chong is so wise with his words." I don't talk to God, i listen." Best words ever.
God is waiting for you to speak back. Wake up oh sleeper
I wonder if this is what cats talk about after getting wasted on cat nip
Informative video you know.
What is steve doing with his face starting at 3:22? Lol trioped me out
For the people who say “wEeD iS oNlY mEnTalY aDdiCtive”.......after people are clean from hard drugs (heroine, crack, etc) for like 1-3 months they aren’t physically addicted anymore, it’s the mental addiction that is so strong that it gets them back on the drug years after being clean
Lol wut
Yeah same thing happens to eating and gambling disorders and the like, that's what mental addiction has the potential to be. It's very different from what those physical addictions can do to you
@@amb600cd0 My point is, the mental component to addiction is much stronger than physical addiction. Physical addiction leads to short term withdrawal symptoms, mental addictions lead to relapse years after quitting. If physical addiction was the most crucial component in long term rehabilitation, why do most addicts have a relatively easy time quitting in the first few weeks/months but such a hard time maintaining sobriety over time? Easy, the body is only addicted to drugs/alcohol/etc for a short period of time and is completely non-addicted after detoxing, the mind however is addicted for life. Heroin, for example, is not so much dangerous because it's physically addictive (heroin withdrawal isn't even as serious as alcohol withdrawal).......it's dangerous because it's so mentally addictive that people OD trying to chase an impossible high.
@@TheBlashMusic at least with weed there is no OD in the same sense. But you do have a point, i meant my comment in more of a, mental withdrawal is wildly varying from person to person due to a lot of factors. But you are correct, mental addiction is a radically powerful thing, and it can totally break people.
@@amb600cd0 100%. Weed is definitely way safer than hard drugs, that's just a fact. But weed is definitely addictive (Because it's such an enjoyable experience for most people) lol
steveos face when he’s listening is so funny to me
I can't get over Steve's face during the split screen
Its definitely more mental than physical. No physical withdrawals which is a plus
I heard Tommy say some dumb shit before that turned me sour sometimes, but I knew there was something about him that he was alright!
