[@MayaMaranz]

I’m not sure if you will see this- i am a smoker who has taken control of my life and formed a healthy relationship with marijuana due to you. Although was able to get out of true addiction and maintain a “special occasion” basis- i wish everyone would hear a few of their points. People don’t realize how insane it is when your brain mindset changes when you break out of the cycle. Thank you for your content. I have been vape free almost a year with no urges- but when i do get an urge, i head over to you. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@thoranevans4832]

So you only use real marijuana on a few occasions, and you quit vaping THC entirely? I'm in a similar boat.

I've been weed free since August 1st 2021. I fight off the addicted voice every day. It's not easy, but I am determined to stay sober...screw weed...screw CHS...I got this. Correction: I've been weed free since August 1, 2022, but nevertheless my sobriety is moving forward strong.

[@Eminem2Biggy]

congratulations, it is a hard task, hope you maintain

[@Retro-beat-em-up-games]

It's so hard to quit when you don't have a social life

[@pdispdat5813]

Right. One of the reasons why im quitting is to get a social life.

[@strangeosity6896]

I am doing AA for that (they accept weed addicts). Give up booze, give up pot, be free. The only drugs allowed in AA are caffeine, nicotine and actual medical drugs (prescribed by dr in good conscience). If you can't get boyfriend/girlfriend (I can't, long story), then you have only the bars and stoner/drunk friends and odd hobby meetup groups that meet up once a month where just three people show up. None of those will work. AA has people who show up and there's always meetings every single day. They also have social events. TONS of people in AA and you actually get to talk to people about life stuff (not just the odd hobby).

[@dreadwolfrising]

I resonate to this so hard from the point of view of both weed and alcohol. I work in the alcohol industry and am very upset with drinking culture and the normalization of behaviour that falls in the category of problematic/habitual usage. The "weed is an escape" "comfy clouds" "wake and bake" thing is so similar to the "wine mom" culture. Both substances, when used in moderation and with harm reduction, can be fine, but as soon as culture normalizes overconsumption or "self-medication"/escapism there's a huge problem

[@bryanhildebrand1435]

46 days strong with the help of your channel amongst other support systems, but this one has been the best!! I hope anyone who sees this and is very early in their journey will get some hope from this. I was a true mess. I would steal to get high. Went through 3/4 an ounce a week. Would have panic attacks if I didn’t have an eighth per day towards the end. If I can do it literally anybody can.

[@patient8098]

Give them some tough love, brother! Still clean! Thank you! ❤

[@philsynnott1619]

Dr Frank your probably not gonna see this but if you do. Thanks a bunch, I'm 8 days weed free. Your videos helped me so much. This is my second time getting sober, its much easier than the first time(which you also helped with). The insomnia is a bit** but I'm confident it will pass. I'm staying strong.

[@Jenny-vm3yu]

Most common stoner talk I’ve heard in the community: “Weed helps me calm down, I’m angry/anxious/ stressed without it. Weed is my medicine.” They don’t realise these are often withdrawal symptoms and weed is a bandaid. “I need weed to do XYZ it makes me more XYZ” Nope, it’s actually the opposite I reckon. I have even heard it personified lol “Mary Jane is the love of my life. She is so beautiful”. I don’t know where to start with this one 😂

[@cavetroll666]

ive never had a bad experience with weed. I just want to fix my coping mechanism.

[@leonsherris4368]

Hi, I really want to stop smoking weed, it's playing havoc with my mental health . I could go on all night but I won't! The fear of not having any frustrates the hell out of me! But I have just come across your channel recently and it's now time to listen to you . Thank you

[@fashionwatermelon]

very important topic! applies to all of the other addictions that your channel covers.

[@the_talking_muffin]

I love how brutal you are with this info. I think every stoner needs to hear this. Weed has taken decades from my life. All of my best years went to addiction. I wish more people could wake up and stop making excuses for their addictions. It's so hard, but you've only got one life. I've made a video on my Delta8 addiction and I wouldn't damn it on anyone.

I'm so glad I found your videos, I quit vaping a year ago, but I got some weed as a gift on christmas, just smelling it got me to smoke it, then I went and got a vape, I felt the nervousness coming back again, I was so bummed, I was losing weight and getting thing done, then it stopped, I told myself thats it, I'm clean for 5 days now, watching your videos are really helping me, thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I LOVE weed. I don't want to quit. On day 8 day but I don't want to stop completely. And this is okay because people drink alcohol all their life and don't quit. I maybe have chs but I'm taking a break and will be going back to weed soon. Not daily like i used to though.

i love this guy hes kicking weed ass

[@kaylynnbeign6499]

I have to stop beating myself up for failing. I’ve quit cigarettes and nic vapes. But weed has been so hard to quit. I am again on day one. If I can stop cigs then I should be able to do this. It’s just so sad that I’m on day one AGAIN.

[@landonmoore9765]

Day 16 and still not really better im through the withdrawals but still not happier when will this get better frank

[@sarahshoemaker]

Hey Dr. Frank this is a great video! I am 27 days sober and your videos help me stay on the path to recovery. I’ve noticed as of lately my mind is giving me that “stoner talk.” It’s always random but out of nowhere I start to miss smoking weed. I don’t know if I miss the action of smoking weed but I just miss it. Usually I just acknowledge it and move on with my day but I find the thoughts to be very annoying. I don’t want to reminisce about it at all anymore. I quit because I was tired of feeling like a prisoner. I guess maybe it could be considered a a withdrawal symptom but I just want to move on with life and put it behind me. Do you have any recommendations on how to stop reminiscing about it? I haven’t relapsed thank God, but I want to continue to reduce the chances of relapse happening. Thank you for all that you do, I really appreciate you for taking the time to make these videos.

[@saramaywlj5185]

I notice this comment was 4 months ago… how are you going now? I too have an issue with romanticising about weed. The addiction voice is a real strong one to overcome, I’m yet to conquer it… I hope you are doing well ❤🇦🇺

Also I just want my tolerance to go down. I do not plan on quitting weed completely because the benefits ( in my situation) outweight the cons.

[@Ivettepm]

im sorry i just have trouble relating to you because Weed isnt harming me directly but it seems like everyone around me wants to force me to change. Im just tired of having people up my buisness and constantly trying to fix me . Just because I smoke weed. I have a hard time relating to your points of weed being negative.

[@active96]

Why do you even care about what others think then?

[@danielbeardsley7846]

[@galaxydogs5828]

I can contribute something here, Kitchen Safe, if you want to see an aspect of your addiction you can't otherwise. spend 60 bucks and toss your stash in there for 3 days and watch yourself, are considering smashing your way in? Are you obsessed with how much time is left before it opens? In this way we can get a better about your potential to moderate yourself.

But like, what I'm getting at here is if I were to video my whole detox thing would any of you guys like watch if I go live when I can't sleep etc and wanna give up? Would anyone be willing to do that, also recommend any 24hr zoom mtgs that are good for people who've done the steps and know the program but are trying to come back around? Or just any good mtgs in general period - cuz even with 2-4 bars a day, two grams of concentrates, and pins and exercise etc all that crap.... Still am lucky to get 4 hrs of sleep....

Hi Dr. Frank, what do you think about replacing smoking weed with less edible use and then ‘slowly’ quit? Edible is a lot healthier than smoking.

weed is ok in moderation but thats for most things in life.there are far more risks starting hard drugs/prescription pills. i would suggest smoking biological weed from outside as its natural you can find. here in the netherlands its popular and cheaper than the fancy indoor weed with way to much thc. about vaping i can say its less popular as its uses more weed than a regular joint rolled with tobacco.
