100 Days Without Marijuana. Here’s What I Learned.

100 days, no marijuana. Feeling clean and clear. I can definitely say the addiction has been broken, but I’m much more aware of my patterns now, so I’m going to keep this going indefinitely. I’m not anti cannabis, but for me, it’s not the season. One thing I’ve noticed return is my sense of urgency with all the projects I want to work on this year, and I’m more energized than ever to make huge strides. It was very hard to quit and most won’t tell you how addictive weed is, and how deep you can get into the haze. But if you’re struggling, my advice would be to open up to others and take it one day at a time. It gets easier.

[@crtrinity1783]

I am on day 100, but I feel close to relapse, even though I remember why I quit in the first place. Marijuana is like one of those f*ck up friends you have that you know causes more harm than good but for some reason you still want to make room for in your life. Smoking marijuana is akin to being in a battered spouse relationship, now that I think about it; you inevitably try to defend the abuser, while bearing all of the hallmarks of being abused.

Congrats to you!! You are strong. I completed 30 days on October 1, 2020, and I feel great. I came all the way from Philly to Tulsa, Oklahoma for it. What was supposed to be a 3 month travel nursing assignment, was actually my ticket out of the weed addiction. Hey, I'm glad I followed where God was leading me, because I asked for deliverance from it and here I am. I've had the opportunity to ask for it and buy it from some people in the hotel where I'm staying, and I guy at my job who whispers "weed out" to me when he sees me at work, he showed me some good looking weed too...but I didn't fold. I just enjoyed the smell, and kept going strong. When I get back to Philly, I'm not going to get back involved with it either. I'm more productive at work now, and I love the vivid dreams. Weed took so much time out of my life, for example, I would go to the park/waterfront in the morning to exercise, but would always get caught up with rollin' up, smoking, wasting time because I'd be spaced tf out. I would smoke before exercising at the gym, which I found really mellowed out the high, but I would waste mad time sitting in the car smoking before I even set foot in the gym. Then, had to roll up after the workout. Weed is okay, but for me, I've found that I'd rather have a good reason to spark up....such nas when I graduate college...or go on vacay to Jamaica. Besides, after so many years of abusing it daily, I miss the hysterical laughter it used to give me..Once it became something to do more out of habit, the fun and laughter was gone. I haven't gotten back just yet to a regular sleep schedule, plus working nights doesn't help much with that, but I have been writing, and trying ti get myself organized and back on track. In the meantime, I'm feeling great, and taking it one day at a time.

It’s a job that demands 70+ hours a week & that’s just not gonna happen when I smoke.

I’ve been smoking weed since 2014, and I can honestly say my anxiety has always been through the roof. I experienced sweating, overthinking, stuttering, and even a sense of panic. Adding weed to the mix gave me paranoia like no other but I forsure shoved it under the rug while I was chasing that high. I recently decided I’m absolutely fed up with the way I feel and I find myself in a constant loop, whenever I was out Of weed i would be on my way to re-up when I have a boatload of other errands I needed done, but I put marijuana first. So sad. As of today I am 7 days in and I plan to get clean so I can join the army and better my future. I’ve been using the army and my future as my motivation and I feel in full control of this addiction at the moment knowing if I fold I will destroy changing my life and that SCARES ME.

Thank you so much for this video. I have been smoking weed every day, multiple times a day for about the same years as you, 3-4. I resonate so much when you said you were still pretty functional, throughout my heavy use I still remained As & Bs in college, I worked throughout this time, at one time working two jobs. So people would look at me and think everything is fine but on the inside I felt like my marijuana addiction was eating at my spirit. I had no energy all the time, during my free time I just wanted to lay down and be high, I’m asthmatic and the constant smoke to my lungs caused me to wake up almost every morning, wheezing and struggling to breathe (because I would always smoke before bed). I realized I wanted a change, I wanted to remember my life sober, save my money, and stop using marijuana as a crutch for stressful situations in my life. My goal is to remain sober free for 4 years + to make up for the years I smoked everyday. It’s hard, the withdrawal is frustrating, the people in my life still smoke but I’ve decided to let it take a back seat. It’s not important and I haven’t been functioning at my greatest level.

Regarding the "moderation issue". I was smoking marihuana basically daily for 4 years. I got addicted as the adult. After I finished university. At first it was to me like all my problems are gone and for the first time in my life Im actually a pleasant person. That was my biggest motivation. Overall pleasantness of the substance - it made me feel good and I was good to others. More than before. No mood swings. It felt like I found cure for my struggles: being really insecure about what kind of human being I am and how Im experiencing things and human contact. After several months of usage the ecstasy went away. Strike of empathy went away. What remained when I didnt use daily, was some state of calmness, some feeling of artificial peace. I found out that what I wanted to feel and I never felt it that much naturaly as I wanted was more empathy, some kind of inner grace. But what at first felt like cure, over the time more and more felt like poison. Well, more and more it felt like Im limiting myself from actually experiencing life, but that feeling marihuana helped me to be a better man was still inside and I was dead worried what quitting marihuana will show me about myself. I tried many moderation rules - to smoke once in a few days, once in a week. I never followed that rules. In March or April this year I stopped smoking cold turkey for 45 days. Then I smoked one joint and strike of "empathy" was that huge I bursted in tears and i was talking with my girlfriend about all our issues. The fact I stopped for a while helped our relationship tremendously - on the other hand, Im still not sure what would happen if I didnt smoke that one joint that made me actually discuss everything. What Im sure though is, that after one week i had another. And sooner than I realized, I was again a daily smoker. Now it is my second serious attempt. Im on my day 23. All suppressed sensations come back and to be clear, a lot of them are not pleasant at all. Im suffering from terrible headaches. But somehow I feel its worth it. For a few whiles in these last weeks I felt better than in years. I hope I can stay sober. I dont know what I feel and think about it, but I definitely need more time to find out. It would be such a waste to get back into the cycle, because I know - it doesnt end with one joint once you crossed a line. Now I know the only moment I will be probably able to smoke a joint without severe consequences will be when I genuinely wouldnt wont it. Anyway, thanks for amazing video Jan

You are so right. I quit about a year ago and I felt so good… I always thought that I had anxiety that’s why I was smoking but when I stopped I realize that my anxiety went away and I couldn’t believe it… Then I started to smoke again and I’m in the process of quitting again I’m like one week in and I started feeling like crap again when I started smoking again so this time I am not going back because all the things that you’re saying right now, I said when I quit the first time… The withdrawal I’m going through right now is nothing compared to the withdrawal I went last time because I was smoking for about seven years every day all day and this time it wasn’t that long but the withdrawal really does suck at it absolutely is not worth it

Me too, 50 years, well a bit more. I have thought about all those things that Daniel says at one time or another, and I think he is right. My life has been a mess and I'm often ashamed. However, human life is complicated and nowadays many people don't have a purpose, or don't feel that they have one. That's why people in poor countries like Morocco or Afghanistan smoke dope. Someone should be asking why so many people in the so called affluent west are turning to this form of escapism.

Day 0 trying to quit.. weeds so addictive no kidding and withdraws and feelings and lack of sleep is horrible. Weed held me back from who I was and wanted to be, I was never at my fullest.

Weed is only weed because of the marketing of one man, Bob Marley. Most addictions in society are the result of Marketing (Bacon and Eggs in the morning was originally a marketing campaign. The Marlborough man was an obvious marketing campaign, Alcohol is an ongoing marketing campaign (ever noticed how everyone looks sooo cool in those Alcahol ads)). Prior to Bob Marley weed was obviously known about but it didn't have that extra something needed to carry it into the realm of dependency for the young urbanite. I'm sorry but anything that is marketed by the mainstream in the long run is not going to benefit you...The mainstream has never cared that much...

[@hutchzy9219]

Weed is very good at fooling the user, I've smoked for years and there's no denying that I've missed out on allot over the years through not being bothered or just lack of money due too funding the habit. I had a painful recovery from a motorcycle accident and for the first time in my life it genuinely helped me with managing the pain. Ive come to the decision to stop, I've tried before but always dip back in with the intention of doing it occasionally yet the next morning I'm rolling before I'm out of bed. It requires discipline of which I'm not sure I will ever have, at least untill I don't enjoy it anymore n then I won't want to smoke it. I find forgiving myself for wasted time is the hardest one, but I try to look at it as I was meant to be and it protentually kept me away from more troublesome situations. I have a friend who is still bang on it and swears blind he's a better man smoking it, untill he runs out and then he gets the major arse ache. Kind of helped me to see my problem though and I'll be there for him when he's sees the light. Great video and I believe these videos are greatly needed. Moderation is key with literally everything.

[@atom432]

I smoked for 5 years then quit for 5 years then starting smoking again the past couple years. I definitely notice some difference not all good and bad. I do still smoke but not a excessive amount. Usually before bed ill have a bong hit or 2. When i didnt smoke i had a really hard time with beeing alone, had a hard time with anxiety and getting in my head and sometimes id get really angry and not be able to just turn it off it would eat me up. But when i do smoke you know i am a bit more tired takes more energy to get out of bed, i am a lot more calm and my anxiety is gone. Theres positives to both but just cause you quit doesn't mean life is gunna be great. I do still take days off/weeks but will i quit forever? I doubt it. Smoking in monderation is key but if you have to wake and bake everyday and smoke all day everyday then id def try to quit and get away from that.

I started when I was 20 or 21 I believe. In highschool i was against weed only because I see how people acted with it. Until later on i realized it works for some people and it doesnt work for some people. I started drinking and weed at 20 maybe 21. I'm 22 right now and eversince I did those things that's when things went bad for me. I was never addicted at all thank god. For weed i was extremely analysis paralysis and I kept getting the wrong idea when I was with people also majority the times I got high it was a terrible ass experience I wanted to have good experiences like others it just never happened only a few times I would say I had a good high but other than that I think weed accelerated my anxiety and my anxious thinking. Total times I smoked would probably be 20 to 30 somewhere around there and I decided never touch it again including alcohol. I had extreme paranio, anxiousness, and panic attacks with weed. Trying to work with therapists and meditation, mindfulness, and clean up my diet as well.

I was a pothead for 3 decades plus! My birthday is also May 4th & I did this exact same thing. Quit one January (was suppose to take a whole year off) then decided I would just smoke from 4/20 thru my birthday. Wasn't able to stop again til the NEXT January. Having the same experiences with dreams & communications. Currently at 125 days clean, striving again for AT LEAST a year off! This was my 1st birthday in 30 years where I wasn't high/thinking about how I was gonna get high! As a visual artist also need to get to know myself as an artist without cannabis. Need to know I am great at what I do even though I feel I have done some amazing sculpture with it. Also an asthmatic, I would take my medicine and then smoke. (yea crazy I know, don't judge me!) In the last 125 days I have gone days before needing my meds. I was shot for a good month though, this is when I had to admit I was an addict. Now feeling so much better now but yes, I still have moments where I wish I could just smoke it. Like once or twice a month. But I now realize I AM AN ADDICT! MAYBE sometime after the next year but right now I need this year off! "If you need to smoke just to get to baseline, you're not at your full potential" This line right here... Yea. Anyways, wish me luck! Doing this thing one day at a time! All the best to you whatever season you are currently in & to all my fellow potheads striving to get clean as well! Jah loves us! This is doable! Let's go!

Daniel, I can so relate with everything you said. I've been addicted to THC and alcohol since my teens. The longest I have ever been sober was like 2 weeks. But like you, I have my own business, 4 kids, and a functioning addict. I always knew alcohol was bad and would take days off but smoked or ate edibles consistently thinking it had zero effect on me. Boy was I wrong. I quit both 6 days ago and am def having some withdrawal symptoms (insomnia, sweats, dizziness, etc) I thought I was getting sick but realizing now what is really going on.
