All I know is when I sober up or wake up from a "weed coma" in the morning I literally hear a voice in me that says "please stop smoking". But then I see/know of people that smoke 4-5 blunts a day and still be "productive", drive, operate like normal and it makes me feel like "well hey, if they can do it, I can do it." & the cycle begins all over again. I am not them; I am me. Me tells me that smoking slows me down. I don't even complete my self care task and I overeat after im done. The younger me was all for it but as im maturing I have to be completely honest with myself and stop. I'll do it on special occasions but not make it a daily/weekly habit. I thankfully don't experience withdrawals so I can stop whenever I feel the need to and be okay. We got this y'all!

I was spending $40 everyday on an eighth. If weed isnt, blunts are 110% addictive. Health was suffering, gym gain, mindset. Everything. 2 months sober, bank account is growing, fashion and health are upgraded! Never going back . #teamsober

Weed is like wine , I disciplined myself on allowing to smoke when and after I achieve all my tasks and goals on a daily scale because if I didn’t then I would smoke just to get by , gotta lock in and treat it as a reward to yourself.

Use to be a weed head.... but quit 5 years ago now I am more focused, and disciplined, and finally pushed my business cross the million dollar a year line. I wanted my biz to be where it is now in my 20s but it took letting go of the smoke and limiting the drink and everyday party life to finally see a Million now at 43

This came on my feed for a reason, I’m 4 months off and I want to see how far I can take it. Been smoking for over 20 years but now my grind is relentless and God has given me everything I need. Blessings to everybody here 🙏🏾

So nice to see someone affected just as bad as me. I’m terrible with it and when I try to quit I can’t tell nobody cause all they say is weed ain’t bad. All I have to say is if you acting like a crackhead, and spending 500 a month between that and backwoods… ISSA MUTHA F’N PROBLEM! 😭😂.

This is so true , I been sitting around thinking about stopping for a min now. Bc I’m a creative person , I’m a MUA , creative director etc but everything is moving slow for me and I been wondering why … I been focused on getting my like on track and letting God lead me to my career and to turn my hustle up some more. Then I seen this video, this is my sign to put the blunt down. It’s time to put the money mindset first. Thank you

Facts! Weed is a hell of a drug. I stopped and I’m much more present, totally available for my family. It takes about 2 weeks to get over the withdrawal but once you do your high will come from what you are now able to accomplish! Great episode, keep going strong!

You speaking that real. We all have distractions it's about recognizing them. Matter of fact the cell phone is a strong distraction

This is the most realest inspirational video on this topic. After I quit smoking weed I realized that weed kept me in my comfort zone, and in order to achieve success in life, you need to live a lifestyle outside of that comfort zone.

When you first smoke weed it generally opens up a part of our brain we normally don’t have access to n you have amazing ideas n thoughts! Like anything soon as you abuse it, things start to go left (addiction) n become lazy

Facts bro I stopped for 2 weeks due to nausea and have been more productive than ever

Facts! i stopped for one year before and its true. I was surprised at how much money i had saved and i enjoyed being sober. i started smoking again but this gave me the push i needed to fully stop smoking. 🙏🏼 thank you bruh! weed is a fuk it lifestyle. time will pass you by

It’s tricky because everything he’s saying is true to certain degree, but it’s not the actual work that gets you to where you want. It’s the mindset that gets you where you want

Truth is a hard pill to swallow. Got my glass of water ready. Thanks.

When I smoke weed I don't feel like doing shit all day

I stopped smoking weed after a bad trip when I was 17. I told myself never again but about 4 years later, I ended up smoking weed again. I smoked 24/7. From wake-up to sleep to lunch breaks at work. I failed my online college math class cause I was too high. And I just get really addicted. This happened two periods in my life. It really makes me procrastinate serious activities and want to play around listening to music and sleeping like a child. I don't smoke anymore but I know fr how it is!

Eish bro, You just made me realize something, Im fucken unemployed and I smoke weed daily bro, Im really tripping dawg, thank you for this late night episode bro

Boyy o boy this couldn't have came at a better time. I've never seen this podcast before but it popped up in my algorithm and this was simply a thought of mine. Haven't searched for anything nor talked to anyone. I just made a decision that I need to slow down on my weed and this kicked it in gear! Thanks man! New subscriber!

FIRST OFF: The entire channel is vibe. Love it! I stopped drinking & smoking a year ago. Weed never relaxed me. It made me mad anxious, paranoid and contemplating all of life's meaning lol. It just ain't for me.

Man I purchased $1,000 courses a year ago and still haven't implemented all of what I have learned. And I know its because i was getting high from dusk to dawn. Good content bro, this topic should be a series. So many truths in it...Only you know what's holding you back, needing to smoke before everything, the fu#k it factor. The transparency, knowing that you would not have created nearly as much content if you were high! Shit don't get any realer

Truth ! I️ was a heavy weed smoker years and years ago and it really slowed me down ! I️ was so unproductive and lazy. I️ gave it up for a long time. I️ started up again 2 years ago but I️ stick with smoking only before bed. Works great for me now. Although I️ have friends who are heavy smokers and I️ can see it doesn’t affect them negatively at all. I️ think it all depends on the person. Everyone is wired differently

I stopped smoking a year ago today Honestly the first month was hard asf but I truly was able to get alot more done, Feel better mentally and physically Saved a hell of alot more money too😂🙌🏾 Stay focus and believe itll get better 💯

Last night I literally said to my brother “weed slows you down” and this pops up today! 🤯 defo a sign to quit weed rn to level up in life!!

I’ve been sober from weed for a year and 4 months and for the most part it’s been easy but about a month ago i’ve started having crazy cravings to start smoking weed again and I gotta keep telling myself to keep making that gap bigger. This episode really helps me keep widening that gap since my last hit

I’m gonna smoke what I already have and go on a 30 day fast, and go from there. I’m not saying a going to stop all together, but if I can narrow it to only on vacation or occasionally, than that’s major progress.

Im glad you made this video bruh cause i felt the same i felt like weed was slowing me down and i had became addicted without even thinking bout it foreal but i started to overthink alot and talk myself out of alot of opportunities and etc so yeah i need to give it up and u right it do make yo body feel lazy

I came across this video AT THE RIGHT TIME. I’m at that point where my life is changing for the better and I do see weed hinders me. Thank you for this message. It is a sacrifice that has to be made. Salute King 🫡

New subbie here. This video just popped up on my feed and it was right on time. This is very relatable and inspiring and absolutely right.

Aye beloved this message was needed at this time. I was on supervision too and kept catching violations for smoking. So I quit for 5 months so I could drop clean and get off papers. I look back at how productive I was when I wasn’t smoking and it’s crazy. I’ve been contemplating over this whole topic for about a month now. This confirmed it. Lmao I was smoking in the joint too gang so it’s like I never quit. 3-6 month break is needed. Once i reach that milestone see if I can go a year

Man this video popped up exactly when I needed it. I was just thinking to myself I should chill out on my vices, cause I felt it was stopping me from reaching my highest potential. Highly appreciate it my man

I agree to a certain extent. It definitely helps with creativity but it’s the excessive spending and the control it has over you. I just realized the other day I can’t even sleep without it. Thanks King ✊🏾

Great affirmations at the end. I received so much confirmation in this video.

This is real. Ppl be in denial with it. But it’s real, if you smoke/drink/pop pills so much that it’s controlling you and you not the one in control…. Shiiiit! It’s not about the substance it’s about who is in the driver seat🌜

This just came into my feed today, and I needed it. I appreciate it very much, I gotta cultivate a better and stronger mindset.

I like your channel ! Determination, hustle, ambition we gotta to put the WORK IN ! We have to go HIGHER AND HIGHER !!! Financially, mentally, spiritualité, physically !! I pray to God every each one of us will reach that GOAL that mark ! It feels to good to reach your goals !!

I stopped smoking about 2 years ago because of heightened paranoia and increased anxiety. This new weed hit different then say the weed from the early 2010’s. I’m thinking because it’s mass produced now and probably a lot less natural.

The realist conversation that need to be had

This topic came out of nowhere and this is what I needed to hear, and It's great to hear a different perspective about it. I'm glad that someone have the courage to talk about it.

This video came on my time line at the right time, I was just talking to my cousin yesterday about this then when I thought about it I have been smoking weed damn near everyday since 2019. Thinking about All the money I could’ve saved, procrastinating because of weed, waking up getting high immediately etc. it’s time for a change so I’m stopping, will most likely do it in moderation on holidays but anything else is a no go. Appreciate the video Big Bro just found your channel.

I needed to hear this. Thank you.

i’ve always realized weed isn’t for me but it’s something i do because i like to smoke and it helps me out with some things but hearing it from someone else instead of myself helped me realized that i need to chill and get my shit together because i have a lot of potential and i’m letting a plant mess up my grind

Facts !!! Weed slows you down period

It's been a week since I took a break and this came at the right time

No lie, I gotta wasted all weekend and missed work cause I was still drunk. I scroll on KZfaq to see you speaking on being slowed down and let me tell you that just those words alone damn near mad me feel guilty about my decision. I'm eager to live life without vices and see how far I can get. I don't even remember what it's like to live sober. Thank You!

When I say I’ve been avoiding this Ep just cus the title 🤧cus I’ve been telling myself everything you saying. We really don’t like the truth as people and we gotta get out the mindset. Salute💪🏾

Needed this video man . Been having this mindset of stopping because im not where i want to be with my business and using all my time smoking, being high instead of creating content. Successful but not satisfied yet! Keep going with the motivation!

just recently discovered your channel and this is the first vid i stumbled upon. thanks for the game and advice. gratitude and blessings family 🙏🏾

Especially when you start young which most people do start in their teens before the brain fully develops so they suffer from it the most. People who started after 25 probably feel a different way about it

All facts!! 🔥🔥🔥 I'm working on leveling up and this hits home.

Man this couldn’t have came at a better time 💪🏾💚 I needed this, appreciate you. Love the content, keeping pushing.

I respect the message you're putting out to the community. Phenomenal work!!!

The worst part of smoking for me was affording it without selling, especially being a middle class guy. I wouldn’t say it was making me lazy, but it was too big of a factor in my life with laws the way they are

We gotta be triple double out here. Folks are solid in one area and hang their hat on that….nah…we gotta have finances, health, network and relationships operating at a high level. 🤝🏾💯💰

I agree. I have a dispensary and I tell our customers that the best way to better yourself is to reduce the amounts of weed you smoke. I now smoke only when I am on vacation. But mostly I prefer to be sober. Real Talk. I appreciate you.

if u tried to stop or want to stop but can't that's when you know addiction has taken over.

Thank goodness I seriously started getting high after my 20s because I would have struggled heavily with it in my teens. With that being said, I hate being addicted to weed, yet everything else I can completely disdain: alcohol, cigarettes, crystal, Adderall, etc. I am finding a lifelong strategy to walk away from weed and I know it's possible, for those who are hooked as well. Thank you for this episode 🔥

Bro I watch 1 show on your podcast about 4 months ago and I been rocking with you every since💯💪🏽 keep it going king

I had to acknowledge this painful truth. Thank you for the insight brother.

Finally someone that speaks the truth about weed 😪 ima 9 year smoker and always thought this about weed that’s why this year was the time to stop

I’m about a month off smoking and my quality of life has drastically improved, including my bank account. However, I don’t think I’ll completely stop smoking weed, but do it when I’ve accomplished one of my main goals. Kind of like how some people bring out their favorite aged-liquor during a celebration.

I just went cold Turkey on weed about 45 days ago after 14 years! It was not easy but it allowed me to see everything more clear and at a conscious level

Deadass been on the fence for months. This was Confirmation. Thank you. Homage. 🙏🏽

Starting next week.. Can relate to about all of these comments. Love and respect to y’all.

I understand the point that you’re trying to make but weed completely changed my life around bro. It got me to ask questions about myself that never would’ve been asked and made me more introspective. If you’re a lazy person weed is going to accentuate your lack of drive and ambition.

Weed drains your energy. If u have big goals and are serious about achieving them, smoking weed ain't the answer. For the simple fact it throws off your biological clock. You need your biological clock working right so U can prepare for success today and execute the plan tomorrow. Can't do that sleeping all day and up all night. 😂

So true. I only smoke on Friday night now. It had me all the way lazy.

I'm from the UK and have stopped smoking for 6 months now and feel soooooo much better for it, sleeping well, dreaming eating well, and can think properly the best thing iv put on weight so in the gym I'm a beast my family are so happy as they have seen me like this. I was also slim..if stacked soooooo much money..be strong people don't let the drug control youm.

Ty I needed this

i just stopped smoking like 9 days ago and was thinking about how I feel like everyone should stop.... it's good to see I wasn't the only one to realize that the "benefits" from the heavenly cabbage is cap to say the least.

Damn bro. I was just saying this last week. You def confirmed that I gotta stop smoking. Thx for putting your experience out there. I can relate.

Thanks bro. I needed to hear this. It's been hard

It's 100 percent on you, don't blame the Green if you can't discipline yourself to use it as a tool, if you use it correctly it can take you far, but if you are abusing yourself and don't have self control, take a break until you got your goals and priorities straight. Everyone is different, but you can benefit yourself with it, if it's not a bad habit

I have my insurance adjuster license & my life/health insurance license. I can admit if I smoke before/during work that I’m less productive. Ive also notice because I have been smoking off and on since 14 being sober minded is a high in itself. I make better decisions and I feel better. Family listen to much of anything is bad for you. Keep grinding and working hard! 💪🏾🙏🏾💯

You spoke on something that most will not. Salute my brother !

i was at the event too and had the most powerful experience. since then i’ve actually stopped smoking weed and my dreams have been radicallll

This needs to go viral!

Been subbed since 9k keep going crazy finesse

This is facts! I remember when I was younger and I smoked a lot...I was broke...I couldn't get a job because I wouldn't pass a drug test...I realized how lazy it was making me, so I cut it...been doing good since...

I quit smoking 7 years ago 3 months before I went to trucking school and got my CDL, and never looked back. Rolling my own rig now papered up

There's different strains with different effects. There's sativa strains that actually energize you like Durban poison originated from South Africa. Plus mixed with munchies eating straight fats can cause sleepiness. You gotta know what your doing.

Imma be honest chief...glad I came across this video! I’m not gonna say I’m going to completely stop smoking but I’m fasure gonna cut back and just smoke on weekends after I close my shop. Just that alone will save me a lot more money and ILL BE MORE READY FOR THE MORNING GRIND DURING THE WEEK✌🏾

Weekend warrior, went from smokin everyday all day. I noticed the slacking in work and I work in tech, the money was too good to fuck up my opportunity, so I went to Fri evening thru sun, and I can honestly say, way more clear headed bro!

I listen to dude every morning when i get ready for work !!!! 🔑

Weed use to be 2-5% max thc. Now the minimum is like 18%-32%. Thats not even counting those 70-“% pens and etc

Depends on your self control, that simple . Millionaires and Billionaires smoke it

One of the best things i ever did was stop smoking weed. My life is progressing, and im getting rich.

I needed this, Thank you, so much!

It’s a eye sore watching bro smoke a cigar and talk down on marijuana. 😂

When I joined the military it forced me to stop smoking because you get randomly tested. As much I want too I don’t. I’m successful and have acquired a lot of things people i know who smoke weed everyday haven’t. Cant say that is a coincidence. Alot of my friends and family seem stuck in life and about to retire almost 20 years later with plenty of assets, a check for the rest of my life and be able to smoke a no worries. I flipped script. Alot people already hating too it’s wild.

Thank you for this video…it has me thinking, what do I get to give up to level up and weed has to go. Blessings to you for truth Man! Be well and here’s to the level-up

Been smokin since I was 12. I know this is the last little thing holdin me back from true wealth. Appreciate ya video. Smoked my last bit and as of 12/2/2022 3:46 PM , done

Man I needed to hear this…weed is most definitely my right hand when it comes to procrastinating smh I’m bout to stop cold turkey

This "Smoke" definitely went over some heads! Salute🔥🎯💯

Mannnn, no lies detected…..been smoking for over 30 yrs….stopped smoking for my career n saw my energy go through the roof….was definitely more productive…. Since money was never a problem, I would revert back to smoking…fast forward I’m like it’s time to let it go….I’ve been contemplating it for a while…This podcast grabbed my attention for a reason….Salute…..

The man ✊🏽✊🏽 real talk. Inspiration

Just finished my last joint in this 8th.. guess ill see what sobriety looks like ... appreciate you fam!

You can get addicted to weed and people are denying. They can easily smoke CBD for stress and pain but they choose weed cause it gets them HIGH so they are addicted to the high feeling it gives.

So happy I got to see this would listen everyday till I get at least a week sober

Quit weed cold turkey and i never thought i would be able to stop. Best feeling ever
