In this video I share my subjective experience with marijuana addiction and how / why I went about quitting marijuana to further educate people on the subject and giving those struggling hope. Weed addiction was prevelant throughout my use and quitting weed was one of the more difficult substances to let go of. THC addiction was easier to rationalize use because of social acceptance with availability. On top of that, upon quitting marijuana I experienced weed withdrawal that a percentage of the population goes through. A lot of people, to this day, still wonder if there are properties that make weed addictive. Anything psychologically pleasant, even at times unpleasant, can be addictive and it depends on the individual. As a former weed addict I can tell you I found cannabis addicitive and am glad I got away from pot addiction because I have a lot more mental clarity. If you’re struggling with marijuana withdrawal you’re not alone and I hope this video w/ the comments helps validate that there are things that make marijauna addictive. Quitting marijuana is possible and there’s no shame in reaching out for help! It’s a far better life on the other side.

    Dependency isn’t addiction. Weed isn’t addictive. I could quit rn if I wanted.



  3. HaikesXO on December 22, 2020 at 10:41 pm

    Tbh I think I’d rather be dead than continue this psychological warfare. It just never ends.



  4. flat logic in heaven on December 22, 2020 at 10:43 pm

    I really need to quit, it’s had it’s use for me for a while now it’s time to say bye… I was able to quit for a week and then for no reason I just started up again in the very first time I smoked again I had a really bad trip and I just kept smoking and now I’m back to square one but it’s possible



  5. Sam Connolly on December 22, 2020 at 10:43 pm

    How old were you guys when you first smoked it ?



  6. Lewis Donnison on December 22, 2020 at 10:44 pm

    I don’t smoke that much weed but i smoke often. I buy like 4 gram of bud at the start of the month and smoke when i have free time, i will normally finish off all of it after like 17 days and then will not smoke at all for like another 15-20 days with no bad effects at all



  7. Chris Fortune on December 22, 2020 at 10:44 pm

    Been weed free 5 years. I know I can’t smoke it once and put it down.

  9. veyronpc on December 22, 2020 at 10:46 pm

    God damn my withrawals have been torturous, when I finaly manage to sleep I have the most vivid realistic nightmares ever, like getting caught by boss with nasty aluminium pipe and having to deal with it like its real life! Sometimes I would get I was dreaming and instead of waking up I would switch limbos in dreamworld to end up in the most random places, so fuckin scary! Compensating the crave with alcool made it even worse, like the time I was in a island with 80% of people trying to rob me without me realizing, and then after a lot of helicopters and blood rain and shiit like that I remember finding weed ina valley and feeling dopamine amazing, only to wake up drowning in sweats smelling like putrid gore without anything to smoke! Feels fuckin bad I feel you bro



  10. Cycablyat on December 22, 2020 at 10:51 pm

    You just don’t have discipline



  16. DemJem on December 22, 2020 at 10:54 pm

    Bro u have so many fucking ads!!!! 15 mins in and ive watched 8 ads already, all full length. Jfc dude



  17. Adam J on December 22, 2020 at 10:55 pm

    It’s a hard thing to quit. It might not be addictive from a physical standpoint but it’s mentally addictive n the anxiety I got from quitting was pretty bad and still is. Not saying it’s a bad thing because there is a tremendous amount of benefits bud just be careful when you use.



  18. Caleb Houle on December 22, 2020 at 10:55 pm

    That’s literally the same exact thing that happened to me. Everytime I would swallow it would feel like that. I forced myself to smoke weed to fit in socially and I wish I hadn’t because I’ve been addicted for the past 5-6 years and im 18

    Great advice man. Great hair too. πŸ™‚



  21. CourtRedHanded on December 22, 2020 at 11:03 pm

    I smoke daily and I dont know what to do. I only have my mum where I live in terms of family, and she has a neurodegenerative brain disease called huntingtons that is incurable. I see her getting worse over time and I know she can never get better no matter what anyone does. She will die from this. Shes only 49 and in fulltime care. The fact she is slowly dying before me does not compute with my brain and I cannot stop smoking/ Any tips anyone???



  22. Rocco Ferrazzano on December 22, 2020 at 11:05 pm

    U don’t trip of weed



  23. BARRY AWARRE on December 22, 2020 at 11:05 pm

    I never thought I could get addicted to such a safe and warm plant that made me so interested in talking to my smoking friends and actually bonding for once In my life but now I realize I should have learned those skills sober



  24. #De best of Tiktok on December 22, 2020 at 11:08 pm

    I heard it gives depersonalization or anxiety attacks

  29. David Britt on December 22, 2020 at 11:11 pm

    He said peak use 1-2 grams a day β€œI smoked heavily” 🀣 cmon



  30. Lee Feebeck on December 22, 2020 at 11:12 pm

    I genuinely thought weed was nothing but benign until I tried to stop. I couldn’t do it, I always relapsed, always felt that high me was normal me. I went six months sober, and now I do buy a couple grams from time to time. But after that hiatus I feel so much more comfortable with taking time off. I’m not certain if I’ll ever fully quite because it does genuinely help me with my anxiety and depression but it’s testimonies like this that make me wary of becoming dependent again. Thank you for your channel, it helped me kick my other much more serious addiction to nicotine and alcohol.



  31. Pistol Pat on December 22, 2020 at 11:12 pm

    I’m never gonna quit 🚬 🌳 s



  32. DracosGirl1987 on December 22, 2020 at 11:12 pm

    I do smoke marijuana to function normally. I have suffered with anxiety, depression w/ suicidal ideation and attempts, insomnia, and PTSD since I was 13; I am now 33. If my doctor had not suggested trying medical marijuana I would probably be dead and my girls would be without a mother. Just my personal testimony, I enjoy your videos and tbh your story is giving me pause because I don’t want to be addicted to something. I have seen plenty of nasty, condescending comments from people that have no idea what they are talking about and want to put all marijuana smokers in a box; to respond to you, i spend about $200 a month on my medication; because that is what it is. Also, I only smoke about 7g a month. Keep your judgements to yourself and be glad that you don’t need to rely on a substance to keep your brain from trying to get you to kill yourself.



  33. Joshua fyb on December 22, 2020 at 11:16 pm

    Lol the weed makes you realize to stop smoking



  34. Adam Liddle on December 22, 2020 at 11:16 pm

    not smoked for two weeks until yesterday when i had a bong with a friend it and imediately made me feel retarded and extremely anxious, probably going to leave this substance behind for a very long time



  35. Mitja Hafner on December 22, 2020 at 11:18 pm

    the longest i was sober after started smoking was 1 month.
    then i relalesed and im i again
    it’s very hard to stop/stay sober for longer periods of time :/



  36. Otto Nemes on December 22, 2020 at 11:19 pm

    14 days clean πŸŽ‰



  37. NO Progress on December 22, 2020 at 11:21 pm

    It’s s different kind of addictive. For me I’m super depressed without it. But I was really depressed before ever smoking. So if I wasn’t depressed I don’t think I’d even wanna do it. I just need something for depression. Doesn’t have to be weed but it works the best for me. I’m "addicted" to not being depressed essentially.



  38. DemJem on December 22, 2020 at 11:22 pm

    I’m a stoner bro and thats me wit the memory thing. It’s embarrassing setting yourself up to make a point just to completely lose what the fuck you were even getting at



  39. ManneredCheetah on December 22, 2020 at 11:23 pm

    3 months clean a week ago. Been feeling a lot better since quitting



  40. Justas Susnys on December 22, 2020 at 11:25 pm

  41. LuRe_KiiNGz on December 22, 2020 at 11:25 pm

    1year were free for me πŸ™ŒπŸ½



  42. Artics on December 22, 2020 at 11:27 pm

    My dad died when I was 17 in 2018 now I’m 19 now I started smoking bud 5 months after he died and I still smoke now. I think I’m trying to block it out, It wasn’t until I spent time by myself because of coronavirus I’ve only just realised what actually happened to me, I lost 4 of my closest friends 3 months after he died. I wasn’t sad for ages but now I’m deeply depressed.



  43. Yoihenba Ningombam on December 22, 2020 at 11:29 pm

    40 days clean and I’m having post acute withdrawal symptoms mainly anxiety and depression, weed fucks me up psychologically hope I will be able to recover soon.



  44. Carson's World on December 22, 2020 at 11:29 pm

    Not trying to be mean but this video kinda makes you sound like a bitch



  45. Shroomed DemiGod on December 22, 2020 at 11:31 pm

    Honestly I just smoke because it takes my mind off of my stress while still being able to function. I’m clean from opioids now but yea weed is what I use to get my mind off shit



  46. M hansolo on December 22, 2020 at 11:34 pm

    It’s not addictive. I stop constantly and don’t smoke for a long time. It’s called your weak minded and that’s fine. Some people can’t handle shit. Some people also don’t know what and how different types of cannabis can affect you. But it is scientifically proven to be non addictive.



  47. Yasser Mustafa on December 22, 2020 at 11:35 pm

    oh bro,,,their will time suffering cause awakening ,,you will know me,,,,at some point of your life ,,,let me know when that grade i upgrade to me ,,lets see,,then i will take a day with me,,,, in that timeline you will amze..



  48. Brandon Smith on December 22, 2020 at 11:37 pm

    Marijuana may not be physically addictive, but it CAN be mentally addictive. You won’t get cold sweats or vomit or get sick without it (at least 95% of people won’t), but you can be mentally addicted to smoking. If you do smoke. Only smoke on the weekends. Smoke weed as a celebration NOT a medication.



  49. DubGod GT on December 22, 2020 at 11:37 pm

    0 seconds clean



  50. GORILLA BOY on December 22, 2020 at 11:37 pm

    started when i was 16 now im almost 20 and have just got to my second day of sobriety in 4 years, weed is addictive no matter what anyone says, you get into patterns of laziness and you dont want to do anything when you’re high all the time, enjoy life weed is fun and shit but keep it fun dont make it a problem where you have to smoke daily to feel happy not even high just happy.
