7 Biggest Benefits of Quitting Smoking Weed

Today's video I want to discuss with you the 7 biggest benefits of quitting weed from my personal experience.
I was a very heavy smoker, at my worst I was smoking every hour without skipping a beat. So results may very from person to person. However if you're a heavy smoker these are some benefits you'll see.
1. More productivity. I always dreamed of uploading KZbin videos consistently and now I am. Chances are if you're burning, you're letting your projects sit on the back burner. Quitting will shift your focus to the projects you truly wish to accomplish.
2. More happiness. I used to suffer from cognitive dissonance. That's where your daily actions don't match with who you truly wish to be in your head. Most of us who are not doing the right things suffer from this. Now that I'm working on my projects this feeling is gone and it feels so good!
3. Whiter smile. It's so important to have a smile you're proud of because the more you smile the happier you are. It's a proven fact. Having yellow teeth can cause insecurity and keep you from smiling which stunts your happiness. I feel my teeth are 5-7 shades whiter now just from quitting.
4. Better shape. Once I stopped smoking pot I started to lose weight and develop a mini 4-pack. When you quit your diet will change which will improve your shape. I also learned coughing causes you to swallow smoke which creates intestinal inflammation. Quitting actually made my gut disappear!
5. More sociable. The fact I'm happier, smiling more, and feeling more confident about my body has caused me to go out more! Instead of spending my weekends at home smoking, I'm out with friends actually enjoying my time now. It's SO freeing!
6. More money. I used to spend $800 a week on herb. Never again. Now all that money is saved for better activities like my hobbies. No more mental herb poisoning me making me a lifeless zombie. Never going back to that my friends!
7. Smarter. Your brain will heal drastically and memory will improve. This is a huge reason to quit. Operating at 70% brain power vs. the full 100% is a huge reason to quit smoking and give it up.
There are so many benefits and throughout the timeline of your journey these benefits will grow and get better and better.

Very true bro, my reason for quitting weed now is because I genuinely believe that weed has altered my mental state even while I'm sober, not just high

[@Chararacter]

Wow

[@brithneynewberry]

Honestly same here

[@-ABC-]

6es this is very true and something I've noticed. Even sober, even 16 hours without smoking it was still affecting me. Everything from mood, to mental clarity, to focus, to even my vision was altered in some negative way. This wouldn't be the case for people that use cannabis moderately like a couple times week, but doing it every day and multiple times a day will change your sober life. It's like you're committing your life to it. Glad I quit.

The best part of not smoking weed for me... I finally feel somewhat attractive, and far less self conscious of myself when around females. I actually enjoy talking to girls when I'm not in my weed smoking routine, but when I'm in my routine of smoking weed I get very derped out and even paranoid around girls. Lots of people, like Snoop Dogg can smoke a blunt in a jacuzzi with titties in his face and not give a fuck, lol, but that is just not how I respond with it.

[@caddy_man_reaper1016]

Very true. Whenever I smoke with girls or people I don't really know, I get paranoid and it ruins the moment for me. Snoop Dogg is already a big success even if he wasn't smoking, there would be titties in his face. Don't beat yourself up about this, but yeah, quitting weed is a way better way of living.

3 months sober!!! I feel so much happier. I use to be pretty depressed and life seemed like crap. My life isn’t that much better yet except for the fact that I’m not depressed anymore. I still have crazy dreams but they seem to be less often. I also still get sad from time to time but it seems like it’s for normal stuff that would make anyone sad. I literally was sad everyday and weed would make me feel better but the reality is it was making me sadder overall. If you have depression issues and smoke weed quitting will only help you get past it. I hope anyone reading this with depression issues tries quitting weed.

[@erikatrujillo83]

Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m crying right now because I’m going to withdrawals. I felt like giving up because this feeling sucks so bad but I know I’ll be better after. I’m asking for some prayers. Today is my 3rd day and I’m going through insomnia. It’s almost 4 am I’ve been up since 3 am when I’m always a person who sleeps from 9ish to 7 am .. I will push through! I did it once but I hanged around with the wrong crowd again but this time I’m pushing through. I know my future will look better. I just graduated with my BA so I’m trying to get into law the only way I’ll get through it is if I stop smoking and focus on my goals. Please keep praying for my brother and I. We both quit the same day. I know for him it will be a bit harder because he’s been smoking for years, I’ve smoked for around 3 years. P.S Thank you for your videos, they really helped me this morning. I started to cry in the shower but I’ll get past this. 🙏🏼

[@BetterYouNow]

Yep, exactly. The people who say smoking isn't an issue are the same people who smoke every day lol of course they wouldn't see an issue with it but just going sober like how you did it's an immediate way to see its a huge difference!

[@-ABC-]

Using cannabis is fine, it's when you do it every day, and especially multiple times a day, does it become a problem. It's called abuse, I would even argue drinking multiple cups of coffee a day is another example of abuse. It's too much too frequently. So someone already a stoner it's good to first quit for months to years, then never go back to using everyday if they want to use it again at some point. Moderation is key, multiple times a week or less, and using consumption methods other than combustion is the way to go using cannabis products.

Great video. I'm on day 7 of quitting. Already feel more energized and motivated. I've been on 2 runs so far- something I've always wanted to get into but never had the motivation to do. Can't wait to feel like my old self again. For 2 years I've had absolutely no personality, no goals, no drive. 7 days ago I just got so sick of it. Sick of never having anything to contribute to a conversation. Sick of forgetting things at work all of the time. Sick of doing nothing but going to work and coming home and getting high. I lost 2 years of my life to weed- they were all a blur. I am excited to find myself again. Thanks for the daily boost!

[@somebody3158]

62 days now i feel a lot better than even the last time i quit which lasted 300+ hundred days. I think a big part is getting rid of all the negative associations/influences in your life (as much as it sucks and you want to go back) you can stop the act but if you don't change the environment and your perspective you're just going to go right back into that habit you need to evolve. I spent the last 2 years clearing up that aspect of my life while still smoking here and there. Until 62 days ago i wasn't ready to give it up completely, i feel a ton better without that influence in my life. I've had to move, change my job and get on a better path, limit contact with my old friends that are bad influences, start doing activities that are good for me (they were never as fun as when i smoked). Now I've been going to school and working a lot more I cleared myself from debt and i'm ready to start a family soon. I didn't really want to quit the idea scared me, i feel a ton better without weed in my life my outlook has changed. Honestly, this quarantine has helped me as well i realized that all weed was there for was to numb me from the pain that i had in side and to keep me running from bad feelings I had to face myself and get used to feeling for once. Often even recently I would have major cravings and thoughts like "life just sucks, whats the point of it all might as well smoke" could not get any joy I think that's just your brain re wiring itself because you're constantly spiking your brain with hits of dopamine. So, it does get better and this is the time to really get introspective and consider your life and the choices you need to make. Also, I have the most intense dreams now every night. I used to not dream at all I mean just fall asleep wake up and repeat no dreams. Now i dream constantly every night. Just keep moving forward and find that reason to move forward.

[@mahdi_empi4276]

Brother if you see my comment after 2 years now how you feel?

[@caddy_man_reaper1016]

I am a writer. I remember a week ago I stopped smoking for about three days and my brain was functioning in a way I had never seen before, my thoughts were in order, when I spoke I was coherent, and when I wrote it clicked immediately. The day after I decided to smoke weed to reward myself and I have been smoking continuously since then. Today I am deciding to quit for sure, because now my brain is working a lot slower, I find it harder to find motivation, and when I do get myself to writing, it doesn't click like before. So I'm going to give it a try and see how this helps me. Awesome video by the way

I don't usually ever comment on videos. But in this case I had to thank you for sharing this information since weed is so socially acceptable, especially now here in Canada that almost nobody talks about how detrimental it can be for someones life. Also people who smoke get offended when you mention anything bad about weed. In my experience, weed made me - Super paranoid/anxious/antisocial, after smoking I couldn't even leave my life - Increased the chance of relapsing on other habits I had been trying to build (e.g better diet, sleep routine) - Kind of connected to last one but weed made me super unproductive which you described perfectly in this video - Also weed mades you straight up dumb, I dont care what anyone says it destroys your cognitive capabilities. (Memory, articulation, ability to process information, etc etc) I am on day 5 of no weed after 8 years of smoking moderately and just started dreaming again last night but my anxiety is through the roof this past week, though I know this will blow over and things will clear up.

[@-ABC-]

About that last point you're just misunderstanding what's going on in the brain with THC. It's not destroying your cognition, it's modulating the endocannabinoid system which puts you in a dream like state since the limbic system is incredibly dense with endocannabinoid receptors. Things like short term memory are side effects, not the effects of the compound. It's only when you're high as well. I say this as someone who's already long quit and won't deny it affected my mental state sober, but making you dumb cannabis does not. Once you read the pharmacological research on it like I have you'd see exactly why that's the case. It's understandable why people think it is tho.

[@-ABC-]

And keep in mind everything you've mentioned has to do with abusing cannabis, it's really no surprise abusing any substance will have such drastic negative effects. Abuse caffeine and you can heart attacks, burned out adrenals, debilitating anxiety, etc. Abuse Tylenol and your liver will fail. We as a society don't use caffeine or cannabis moderately, we abuse it and normalize the abuse. Smoking everyday, especially multiple times a day Is abuse. Couple times a week or month, not daily. Oral consumption or vaping, not combusting the flower. Using it to your advantage when you do use it, not consuming cannabis just to get high or have fun. There's right and wrong ways to use these things.

[@marcusrosales3344]

Something that many people don't mention is weed actually sabotages your sleep! REM sleep is drastically reduced. Moreover, it is sometimes hard to get to bed since weed makes your mind wonder from one topic to another. I used to admit this when I was smoking and my friends would say it was in my head. I decided it was my own quirk, but I now actually believe they were just in denial. That or they were used to the drained foggy feeling: that was their norm!

This is my first official day since allowing myself to run out of herb. And I am just so tired. Like, physically. I’ve just gotten out of a 5-year relationship that was very toxic, and in the last 1-2 years I began relying on weed as a coping mechanism so that I didn’t hate my life so much. But now, I’m realizing that it just doesn’t serve me anymore and it’s just keeping me from feeling motivated to push further as an individual. I’ve fallen back on any discipline I’ve tried to engage in, be it working out, or reading more, writing more, even making the effort to have a social life again. I’ve been social distancing my friends since long before COVID. I’m hoping as the weeks go by, I won’t just wish deep down that I could get high. But for now, I’m just tired.

Great job making the right changes! Willpower and discipline are finite resources which become exhausted by the end of the day.

It happens my friend. Think of steroids, when someone takes too much testosterone their body stops naturally producing it. Well, when you smoke your brain no longer needs to self regulate the urge to eat or sleep, so when you stop your body slowly has to turn those systems back online. Give it about two weeks with no smoking and by the third week you'll feel so hungry all the time! You got this!

I put on about 15 pounds of muscle but haven't been able to exercise for the past 6 months because of all the gyms being closed =( The most important thing is to get your hunger back online. After a month of sobriety, you can chow down a lot and it's really easy to gain weight, but when I was smoking I couldn't eat like that so putting on weight felt impossible. Sobriety for life my friend!

I feel that but I’m sure they go away. I wouldn’t know im only few days in

[@MOLOVE0525]

What about smoking only on special occasions or rare occasions?

[@bishnusharma9384]

MO_LOVE Once or twice a month is okey.

[@bradenqw3765]

weed completely changes your sober mindset

[@BetterYouNow]

This is so true =(

[@BetterYouNow]

It's something you never really get back, you can just see some of the goofy stuff ppl do and think they've never smoked before, but that ignorance is bliss and the correct way.

I stopped smoking weed for 4 days now on going to day 5 and I just want to know how to get that thought of my head like I don’t even want to get high anytime at all anymore but for some reason when I smell the weed or listen to music I just think about relapsing just for the taste not even the high ?and would like some help

3 weeks in. I miss it. How can I let go?

[@BetterYouNow]

We will always love herb, there's deep rooted habits embedded in our brain's wiring from years of abusing it. That's why now we have to be super selective on who we choose as our friends. It would be so easy to get caught back up with pot being around the wrong people. However the thought of losing another 8 years being a mumbling, unproductive person isn't what I want. I don't want that for you either man! We have to find joy in our new life, for me it's uploading videos daily, being a better husband and father. You have to find your reasons, things which bring you happiness now. I know you can do this man, YOU GOT THIS! You're 3 weeks in, so it's natural for think about it more since it's been so recently since quitting. Give yourself time, I doubt you'll be thinking about it in 6 months my friend :)

@@BetterYouNow "We will always love herb" Is smoking something that we genuinely enjoy or are we just addicted?

[@jayboi7565]

I’d go to the gym bloated as hell 😂 finally occurred to me one day that it was from the smoking. Bunch of air in my belly lol

[@luzy2cold]

Wtf how can you smoke 3.5 grams a day wow. 800 bucks a month is 100 grams at least. So you tell me you smoked 3.5 g a day ? Crazy

[@BetterYouNow]

Yeah sadly, it's def a lot but nothing compared to ppl in California who rolling ounces a day it's pretty crazy

[@Islam-py7sb]

thats only 3-4 fat joints

[@laizamineli346]

When I smoke, I will get bloated because of the smoke? Hhahhahh oh my god where did you read this ahahhaha please give me a source, it sounds like full-fledged bro science

[@BetterYouNow]

Really dude... Take two seconds to Google "swallowing smoke irritates stomach", you realize when you rip a bong and start coughing when you swallow your saliva mid-cough, you also swallow SMOKE which can irritate and inflame the inner lining of your stomach after daily habitual abuse. Ripping ounces a week through a bong for eight years, IT ADDS UP. Think about it, use common sense, or Google.

😔😔😔😔😔gonna be so hard I’m so used to smoking it first thing in the morning but I really wanna stop coz don’t like the person I am anymore, it’s made me soooo para and my perception on life is fucked
