I know people say you can’t get addicted to weed, but you can definatley become addicted to not being sober.

It's more believed by many that, addiction is actually the want to reachieve the same feeling on the first high, and the first high that person felt amazing but it's an addiction through the intense amount of dopamine the drug or hobby produces. PC gaming is addicting has no drug chemicals in it. Nothing being eaten. Addictive still.. it's easy to achieve dopamine, when the mind finds am easy way to achieve dopamine, it repeats the known process to achieve more and the mind over time becomes numb to this and normalizes it so you don't realize it after a while. All addictive drugs really just create alot of dopamine easily and so the urge to re experience is there always.

@@DDA532 the want, in your brain to achieve a dopamine hit.. the brain always attempts to achieve dopamine using 2 methods... physical stimulation (pain) or non physical stimulation (happy thoughts of pleasure like when you win a video game the feeling you get of achievement etc) its all there. That's a dopamine hit... your Bains objective is to achieve dopamine hits.... the easiest way possible.. when you can sit and be lazy all day and play a game.. achievement after achievement.. you lose your focus so time gets distorted since your focus isn't on time, after many years of this you have no true sense of time, your brains normalized the new reality like the movie click. Getting up to do anything becomes an excessive task you discovered happiness can be achieved from sitting all day motivation fades there the addiction. Trying to continuously re achieve the same happy feeling from the very first few gaming experiences you had or to bring back those childhood memories of Mario. Dopomines the addiction not nicotine.

Namaste, Cannabis was a huge part of my awakening. The plant vibrates at a higher frequency than most people. it wakes you up and also tells you to quit. When our own vibration has increased through spiritual practice, then we'll vibrate higher than cannabis and it will no longer serve us. The old impression will be there most of the time and many who have quit will go back trying to enjoy it again but only to realise that it lowers their vibration. The same goes with other psychedelic plants. So raise your vibrations my friends and reach the state of oneness. God bless

quake3quake3 this is exactly what happened to me. I feel like weed has served its purpose in my life, made me the person I am today and made me realize everything I have learned.After through going through a beautiful spiritual journey and reaching non-duality I feel this strange calling to stop smoking and begin my true purpose. I now have started my major in environmental policy and management and want to end the deception told about climate change and the horrors committed to our own people and planet. Stuff's insane...

I smoked weed for years because I was afraid to not have it. I felt that if I didn't have weed I was missing out, I was 'without'. I got paranoid, suspicious and was filled with anxiety when I began to run out. I hated handing over wads of cash to the dispensary and them acting as though they were doing me a big favor. Since Ive quit I don't miss it. I can breathe better, I have more cash, my thoughts are not paranoid (well no more than is normal) and I am having amazing dreams that I can't believe.

But I am still trying to stop it, it's slow but I try every day. It's not like it's a big addiction like heroin but man.. this weed gets you so lazy and out of this world, I realized that my logic was so fucked up on weed, I wouldn't care about no jobs, I would find a job work for a week and then just don't come to work because I didn't care, and now when I think about it it's fucking dumb, and the main thing that I realized is that years PASSED SO QUICK while I was on weed, now everything seems slower and I have a whole day to do what I want and what I need, plus that, I found a great job, really really great job that wasn't even possible for me, and I'm more positive with my lyrics in my music.

I went cold turkey but had a drink on the weekend and had a couple of roll ups.. (tobacco) now i know i cant drink as that involved smoking.. im super charged to just leave it behind my now and accept ive had my time with weed and its time.to move on... thoughts clearing up... socialising a bit more.. less brain fog... and i just know after goijg like a decade with the mentality "today is the day i give.up and start counting the days" and then going back n smoking and KNOWING if i have 1 toke i will think straight away what was the point i no longer even like the feeling it gives me alot of paranoia and self sabotaging thoughts... which i dont get when not smoking. I reckon its the skunk and stuff but still... im.tired of the feeling and living my life stoned .. its shit man i have so much potential and stuff i want to do in life its like wishing ya life away being stoned as like u say nothing gets done bro .. big up to your self for coming down off 5-10g thats a mad amount of smoke, id say 2g a day has done me.foe a long time but i hear u about the jobs the amount of 1 weeker jobs ive had cus i didnt give a shit... i hope the clarity of mind coninues and i done this while living with a smoker .. my mrs...so.its been difficult but just go for it mate 1 love 👌

Wow. This video is spot on. I’ve been smoking since the end of my freshman year in high school and I’m now a freshman in college. I’d say that I started to feel this way about smoking waaaaay earlier in the year. Yet I continued to smoke. Why? I literally have no idea, it got the point where I didn’t even enjoy smoking anymore and every time I did I regretted it. Yet I continued to smoke? I’ve been in the habit of smoking every day for so fucking long now and I’m just so tired of it. I absolutely believe that it’s hindering me from fulfilling my greatest potential. I’ve quit before but only for about 2 weeks at maximum. And because of this, I know for a fact that I feel 100% better and more ALIVE when I’m completely sober. As the days go on you start noticing more and more positive benefits from quitting and start to wonder why the hell you didn’t just quit earlier. I loved getting high when I first started smoking, but it’s completely different now. It’s nothing like how it used to be and IM nothing like how I used to be. So i’m making the decision to let it go for good. I don’t know if I’ll never smoke again in my LIFE, but I do know that I don’t even want to go near weed for a loooong long time. Giving weed up isn’t even something that’s difficult for me either. I’m perfectly fine when sober and don’t feel like I crave it or anything like that, the only reason why I’ve stuck to it for so long is because I’m just so USED to it. I’ve gotten into the HABIT. All of my friends smoke, my brother smokes, so I’ve always been around weed. It’s so easily accessible to me. But starting today, I’ve decided I’m done. Completely!! I can’t wait to start this journey and to see how much I change from it in the coming months, love this video, thank you for affirming everything that I’ve noticed from smoking the past 3-4 years. Wish me luck!

Oh my gosh man. I am so thankful that you made this video. This gives me so much inspiration. I too am also realizing that how weed affects me has really held me back over this past decade. This will be the hardest thing I've ever done. But I am done being high and sitting above my problems because when I come down they are still there waiting for me. I have been a daily user for almost 11 years now. 1 day at a time. Much love and many blessings in your life. Thanks again!

brother, hosnestly amazing video. my head and heart feel so clear on what i need to do now and how to brake my routines with mj, i smoke $320(aus) worth a week and my life isnt growing and i dont even get high anymore, i feel weak if i dont have it but in saying that i feel weak when i smoke, its a recurring mind process that i cant brake, befor i eat, after i eat, when i wake up, even poping in on work lunch brakes to have a cone, i feel as if i keep going im going to lose everything, your video has honestly inspired me to change my life, after watching this i couldnt help but just ball my eyes out, if there are any extra tips you could help me out on that would be amazing.
