People are likely watching the Marvel Shang-Chi trailer, or the Jake Paul fight, or Drag Race like us WITH THE MUNCHIES THESE DAYS! I have been thinking about the neurophysiology of quitting weed since being stuck at home, it’s more of a habit. It turns out the brain changes a lot with weed, also there physiological symptoms I didn’t know before, and all the science is not cutting edge. This video goes through the scientific evidence of how your body changes after consuming weed.

  4. @davidescialpi6560 on September 25, 2024 at 7:47 pm

    I didn’t experience any of those withdrawal symptoms



  5. @waketfup8864 on September 25, 2024 at 7:47 pm

    Check this out. I’m a daily smoker and I’ve done t-breaks before. It would be super hard and get a lot of the usual symtoms + craving it a lot.
    I have an operation in a week to fix my deviated septum and been 3 days sober. Was super nervous for all the symtoms and cravings again, but even though I have weed in my house, I have no urges at all and the only symtom was difficulty to sleep the first day. I was smoking every day sometimes several times. This makes me think that is all in your mind. Its crazy how little I crave weed rn.

    I’ve smoked daily for around 20 years and I spent around £500-£600 a month at my worst (last 5 years) I’m Currently on day 6 of no weed. This video has really helped to make me see I’m not going crazy and it’s just the process. Thank you for making me see the end line.

  11. @rajibdey8346 on September 25, 2024 at 7:55 pm

    I never thought subliminals could make such a huge difference in overcoming addiction, but Borlest proved me wrong. After a couple of weeks, I felt a massive shift in my mindset. If you’re stuck in a cycle, this could be the solution. You’ve got nothing to lose.



  12. @IcetrapMoney-c1h on September 25, 2024 at 7:56 pm

  24. @sargentsandwich4343 on September 25, 2024 at 8:09 pm

    Just like anything, too much is going to be detrimental to your health. Alcohol, video games, p*rn, sugar, cigarettes, coffee, etc. Remember to moderate yourself, weed is not bad, just remember to not use it as an escape as per most things 🙂



  25. @someguysomegame on September 25, 2024 at 8:10 pm

    25 years of smoking all day every day. Never took a break for more then maybe 12 hours in all that time. I tried to slow down or stop multiple times with no luck.

    I never got depression or anxiety from smoking, in fact, I really like smoking. I love the way the plant looks, I love the smell, and I enjoyed the vast majority of the time I have spent smoking. I am also sharp as a tack and never had issues with memory or any of the things experts claim. I have noticed that my friends who drink had those issues, but I never did anything but smoke and my brain is still functioning great, maybe even better then when I was young.

    I have however noticed that as the day drags on, and I smoke more, on occasion, I can feel "crappy" late in the day, especially if you are eating junk food from all the munchies you get.

    When you tolerance is so high (pun not intended), you have to keep smoking pretty much all the time just to keep a steady buzz. You never actually get stoned, just a steady buzz. I did start to get a feeling of depression from the fact that I smoked so much and felt that I could never quit. I like it, but too much is too much. The problem is I have no support at all, (my wife says she does not care if I smoke or dont) and I never had a good reason to stop.

    That all changed recently after we were forced to move. I have an opportunity to do something I have wanted to do for the better part of a decade and never had the opportunity to do it till recently. I decided I wanted it more then I wanted to smoke. Hardest thing I have done in my life to this point is muster the willpower to stop, but I did it. Everything feels surreal now compared to when I was buzzed. I went through a day and a half of moderate withdraws, Chills, headache and nausea, but that went away and I feel fine now… beside the surreal feeling that has not went away.

    I Stopped a few weeks ago and am not sure what the future will bring, but ultimately it is not that bad. I was not sure what to expect, but if you are going through a similar thing, just know you will be fine on the other side.

    My advice though is to have someone to support you who does not smoke and to find things to do to occupy yourself so you do not just sit around and think about it. It also helps to cut down for a week first and only smoke at late night or maybe once a day for a few days to ease yourself into it.

    Otherwise I just wanted to share in case someone else is doing what I just did. You can do it if I did, I was the poster boy for not quitting. Have faith and stay strong.

    Im into neuroplasticity to rewire my mind. Quitting weed was the first thing to do. Life has chapters. Almost 1 week sober after 13 years of daily use.

    If you’re struggling with addiction, you HAVE to try the subliminal affirmations on Borlest. They helped me so much when nothing else worked. It’s subtle, but the results are powerful. Trust me, this could be the key to your recovery.



  29. @widowpolaris on September 25, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    I smoked every single day since I was 16, I’m 22 now and after moving I decided to quit due to my frustrations with being dependent on it and lack of ability to get it, and it wasn’t just a one two puff puff here and there, it was atleast 4 bowls every 2 hours for the entire day and that’s been my life since I was 16, I knew coming off of it wasn’t gonna be fun but I did not expect to feel like shit every waking moment of the day, sleep issues, anxiety, constant stomach aches and nausea, the constant inability to get comfortable no matter if I’m laying down or sitting up, I can only be standing for about 20 minutes before it’s unbelievably uncomfortable and I have to rest, I’ve been almost bed ridden for over two weeks, I’ve had stomach flus with less discomfort, weed is a medicine, and it’s very useful for people, I will die on that hill, but becoming dependent on it and using it almost 24/7 is what gets you, and after a while it stops helping, when you start it’s all new and exciting but 6 years in and you have to take excessive amounts to even get any benefits (I mean more so in mental cases, physical cases are different, it’s very good for Parkinson’s and nausea caused by cancer treatments) but you still feel like you need it even tho it’s stopped working like it used to, if this is how bad I feel after 6-7 years I can’t imagine the people who’ve smoked for decades, withdrawal is not fun, homies



  30. @EneestiiäEneestiiä on September 25, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    I been smoking weed for the last 4 years and stopped last week, man it feels fresh and i dont even feel an urge anymore. 🎉



  31. @dragoon1090 on September 25, 2024 at 8:20 pm

    I’ve been a heavy smoker for 14 years. From morning till night. That’s all I would do. Before work, during work, after work etc. I’ve neglected my pets, my kids, My friends and family and most importantly my health.

    As of typing this I am one week sober and for the first time I have actual obtainable goals. I can’t wait to finally beat this and be the person I deserve to be.



  32. @JuwonBromet on September 25, 2024 at 8:21 pm

    God damn your voice just made my withrwals worst..



  33. @billyrobinson6803 on September 25, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    Ive been watching many videos on the experiences of giving up pot and for some reason you just hitted right on with how youve explained this experience



  34. @x1boricua21 on September 25, 2024 at 8:24 pm

    Im on day 4 and I felt them headaches big time hopefully I can make it to day 7 😅



  35. @TheWolfGamingF on September 25, 2024 at 8:25 pm

  36. @MEGANOOB-u5w on September 25, 2024 at 8:25 pm

    If you ever listen to anything while reading comments, let it be this – go to borlest and find the subliminal affirmations for overcoming addiction, then come back and thank me



  37. @miryamishot on September 25, 2024 at 8:26 pm

    I am so thankful that I don’t have a marijuana addiction, I can’t imagine having to puff and puffin, puff and puffin. Just the smell alone is so disgusting….. I feel really bad for these people that have a marijuana addiction. It’s like having all this weight on your shoulders and never being able to let go like a a nonstop feeling



  38. @I_M_GAMER339 on September 25, 2024 at 8:26 pm

    These subliminal affirmations on Borlest for addiction have been a total game changer for me. I feel stronger, more focused, and the cravings are practically gone. I wish I found this sooner—it’s worth every penny!



  39. @phynsta on September 25, 2024 at 8:30 pm

    Absolutely no mention of whether these quitters mix with tobacco or not. I have personally only ever suffered withdrawal when I used tobacco. Green and clean, no withdrawal



  40. @Kuwanthen on September 25, 2024 at 8:30 pm

    Bro, sadly, every year there is always a generation of innocent young people who are seriously damaged and become active addicts



  41. @GaffarShaik-fg5rt on September 25, 2024 at 8:31 pm

    The fact that nobody talks about subliminal affirmations for overcoming addiction on Borlest speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance



  42. @divyasaini2382 on September 25, 2024 at 8:32 pm

    I can’t believe how much the subliminal affirmations on Borlest for overcoming addiction have helped me. My cravings started fading within days, and I feel more in control than ever. If you’re serious about quitting, you need to try this. It’s honestly life-changing.



  43. @stephanehuguenin6775 on September 25, 2024 at 8:35 pm

    Having smoked weed everyday for over 10 years with rare exceptions here are two things that helped me quit: 1) The first day of trying to quit I always felt very depressed. I found smoking CBD on that day helped as a sort of ritual and to take off the edge. Every day after that was always easier! 2) Personally I really enjoyed the return of more regular dreaming to my life. I’ve always enjoyed dreams (pretty much no matter how weird) and used that as motivation. Hope this helps someone out there 🙂



  44. @RajaAadivasi-ld6zu on September 25, 2024 at 8:35 pm

    you can find everything related to these matters in the subliminal affirmations for overcoming addiction on Borlest.’ Find it, you’ll be shocked.

  49. @FlashBarry-w2z on September 25, 2024 at 8:43 pm

    It’s been hard to quit at 17



  50. @vinodkarmathakur6620 on September 25, 2024 at 8:45 pm

    I was skeptical, but Borlest’s subliminal affirmations for addiction are the real deal. I’ve tried so many methods, but this one actually works. If you’re struggling, this could be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for. Don’t miss out!
