The Real Reason I Quit Smoking Weed (real)

[@lydia2032]

I quit two years ago and haven’t looked back; I’ve improved my career, my relationships, and my healing journey. I love your transparency. I would love to see you ACT more, I saw that short film with Molly something from Instagram and it was dope

[@allaalla3454]

Love how real carrington always is

[@Emmy_nicole]

I was just thinking of stopping smoking again and I found his account and this was the first video I seen and I was thinking the same thing. He seems like he’d be such an an amazing person to hang with.

[@autumnele999]

I smoked from the ages 15-22. I'm 23 now. I couldve been super productive while on that loud, but I chose not to. I literally rotted away and didn't do anything productive. I would tell myself that I would smoke it for medicinal benefits, but that was an excuse to not tend to my mental health the correct way. I now only smoke socially, I'm an office administrator, and I'm currently on meds for my mental health. I'm reading more too, writing more, and prioritizing myself more.

[@coop1563]

i actually needed carrington specifically to tell me this. his story just feels so much more relatable than any other stop smoking story

[@enzoh9007]

first video i watch from you and this really spoke to me man, id say i feel the exact same rn lol i wake up do the bare minimun and have alot of "free time" that i use to fuck around when i know im capable of more and i could be doing something USEFUL that helps me accomplish what i want out of my life and reach my full potential. this made me think alot! sorry for any grammar error or whatever greetings from argentina g

[@Haunteddwolf]

CALLED OUTTTT!!!! 2 weeks clean here. SICK and TIRED of feeling SICK and TIRED. Mr Carrington the realest inspirational AF OG here 🗣️📢💯 Lets all ROCKET out this ditch were stuck in. Kno I will 🙌 LETS ALL GO

[@bigpharmaiskillingus]

i'm glad your story is actually realistic. there's this common misconception that in order to want to quit or have the motivation necessary, you have to hit rock bottom. it's completely untrue and keeps a lot of people stuck on it because they'll think to themselves, "oh well why bother even quitting? it's not like it's even a big problem for me," which is a ridiculously harmful mentality because that's the kind of mindset leads to serious addiction personally, i smoke daily and don't see a need to quit. i have adhd and anxiety, so it's strictly medicinal for me. i enjoy getting high, and thankfully because of my circumstances, cannabis really just levels me out and allows me to focus on individual tasks like schoolwork and personal responsibilities without jumping between a million different things in my brain or getting a ton of anxiety and deciding to just lay down or play video games to forget about my issues. then again, i do have a doctor's recommendation for cannabis use so it's a little different for me than it is the average consumer. nonetheless, i really liked this video and i absolutely agree with all of the points you make!

[@faieriss]

“im leaving that in 2022” 😭😭

[@dvlyvn5056]

bro did NOT stop smoking

[@xxapotheose]

Your motivation and passion are actually really inspiring

[@sweetkiller1311]

So much wisdom and beauty in this video MWAHHH how are you not the most popular KZbinr yet???

[@sweetkiller1311]

I love how your videos don’t have any editing but all you said was invaluable information that can be applied to literally any situation. You inspire me so much. Keep preaching, King! Xx

[@KCIM.]

yea man im trying to stop and its not hard or anything or atleast i try to tell myself that. when you said i stopped cause i want to stop being a lower functioning version of myself i was like bro same. when i smoke dat cartnite i smoke it casually but the times that i do i start to realize the lower functioning version of myself and it kinda sucks. i've always tried to ignore it and kinda just brush it off thinking that it doesn't effect me as a person in the present/future but after watching this it made me realize its something i shouldn't be ignoring. there are so many other things i related to while watching this banger too that seriously made me realize what i've been doing wrong in terms of smoking dat mary jaejae watt. thanks for making this video and bringing out some of my thoughts that i forced myself to bury away that were keeping me from quitting. i actually feel like i can quit now without having the urge to do it casually or at all. so glad u a chillass dude thanks bro dont stop uploading here i love watching ur vids.

[@xoxo626]

I’m very happy for u! I hope you have a long, happy, healthy, and successful life❤️

[@nebulotl]

I love this part of you that wants to talk about these topics many people choose to not talk about because of embarrassment, it's very interesting and is a different perspective, thank you.

[@yeblakey2]

aye man i relate to this more then i can explain and lowk i think i might now, when you were talking about just sitting in your bed and having your thoughts just say "do it, do more" when you were only doin a lil bit when you know u should do more is honestly like the worst part about smoking and the way how u explain life getting more and more bland is just yeah and hearing how much its helping you, fukit might put the za down till im up something to look forward too. Appreciate u man fr fr

[@Hala-dl5up]

i love how u realized its bad for you and you can do better without it and i support you forever

[@blake4685]

he legit said he plans on doing it in the future

[@Crashypeng]

Bro I smoked for years like a half ounce a week. replaced weed with caffeine too lol trying to quit caffeine and beer now. Bless up

[@Skiity007]

Super real af, you gotta show up for yourself at some point and face “the challenge of life” love that quote btw

[@hollowed47]

i love this dude especially his tiktoks, bro is the most beauitful human being ever lol

[@richardmoore3749]

You should do a monk mode video teaching your viewers how to self discipline themselves . You are off to a good start . Congratulations on quitting . I would be heartbroken if any of my sons started any kind of smoking or vaping . I am going to start following you .

[@Ryan-xq3kl]

monk mode by finger paint man, lmao you people

[@hgprocks9161]

Carrington ur so fucking hilarious and relateable and ur videos are so real and entertaining. I relate a lot to the reasoning behind why ur quitting but I cant bring myself to do the same just yet. Congrats to u for quitting I respect it so much

[@supermeansadie6753]

Bro, your conversation style is very much like mine and I have bad adhd to the point I cannot function highly without being medicated for it because my mind jumps around all the time I am hyperactive as well with all of the energy. ADHD also causes al lot of anxiety so I give you props for confronting anxiety by posting on social media... The ADHD brain also causes you to self medicate and it makes your ADHD worse! I'm way older than you but I'm in recovery from much stronger drugs than weed but I will say the first drug I tried and started using weed, I don't desire any drug since being treated for ADHD (sometimes I forget to take my meds even and then I'm all over the place or hyperfocusing on something that doesn't matter). You're taking some pretty dope steps it sounds like, I do recommend that you get tested for ADHD and seek treatment even if you won't take meds and it'll help you be productive and you think more fluidly and communicate more effectively, etc. There are totally non-narcotic treatments for it now too!

[@maijahermant3026]

Which medication are you on?

[@chikamae1]

definitely bro. i stopped last month because of these same exact reasons and I can't wait to keep on improving myself. good luck bro! i hope to see more KZbin videos!

[@robotekreagan]

This slaps for me rn ngl thanks

[@Sienna-wo9pu]

my fav quote in this vid is “I don’t like to label myself as anything but carrington” 🤣🤣🤣

[@jo4stuco914]

This is so chaotic and I love it.

[@ezrileave183]

You’re so real for this, love u Carrington 🖤

[@alvinxiong]

I love the message, motivation, and those books

[@galixx2891]

You should do some workout content just like go to the gym with me or something like that and maybe why and how you started working out😊much love ❤❤

[@ruediments]

needed to hear this after wasting my whole day on edibles when i have an exam i need to study for.. i think i'm gonna take a break for a while, thanks

[@jhudjhud]

this reached me at a really good time i have remaining half of senior year before college, got in my dream school, gonna get my shit together to make the most out of college, thanks carrington

[@64devil]

You're already addicted sorry your life is ruined

[@jhudjhud]

@@64devil oh

[@jhudjhud]

[@enzo.6586]

lmao u be cool to smoke with. but nah fr i agree with you. your reasons are very similar to mine and we are the same age. I won't hit the plug next week and i am going sober 2024

[@chocoflavoredcookies5649]

I've been thinking about quitting or cutting back but I usually just do it before the gym or practice the gutair. I don't just lay in bed high. I don't think it's good to be high all the time for sure, time and place. Being high at work or school is possible but it kills your high because you gotta do shit you don't want to and you're not on your A game.

[@camillelecoeuche3979]

I'm sorry but I laughed so much when you did stupid carrington 😭

[@Mariam-g8n]

Hope you’re doing well Carrington ❤

[@noahkabbaz99]

Becoming Supernatural in the book shelf 🥂

[@hopeg02]

8:54 I graduated 2020 and omggggg the way I relate to this so much, I didn’t go to college I just decided on getting a steady job and moving out… like yeahhh I feel good because I can take care of myself but what do other people think of meeeee 😭😭

[@toosadtosmile]

this the most engaging video i have ever seen about putting down that loud pack. thank u so fucking much

[@LavElan]

We might be the exact same person. Every single thing u said and talked about even when you thought u were rambling made 100% sense. Some ideas you didn't finish cuz u got distracted tho 😭

[@yungronny3944]

i used to enjoy weed, but now i get panic attacks from it. Smoked everyday in 2017, and till 2019 i smoked it a few times a week, other subsrances ruined it for me, i just cant handle it

[@sarahbogovich2574]

I'm that person that I can get any job because I don't like not having a purpose. like I wanted to help animals so instead of applying online I did its old fashion I showed my face and I chat with owners and told them. Yeah, I am looking for a job if you are looking for someone that is wanting to work let me know, because I am a hard worker and fast learner, and it helps with leveling up and that's how I got a job as an intern as a vet assistant. I walked in and they needed someone, and they were desperate and now a days that is what small business owners want they want someone that they can count on, so keep that in mind. anyone is worthy of getting that job they deserve just have to find the right time also if someone offers you a job say manager role go for it because it's good and that person believes that you can do it based off of the determination that you have don't doubt yourself. You can do it. Just do it.

[@-._U-w-U_.-]

I think that's the first time I have a crush on a dude xD, omg you are so pretty😍

[@Ryan-xq3kl]

thats what happens when you stop smoking weed

[@allegedly557]

you should do radio or podcast

[@psycmajor]

unrelated but he's the kind of guy that's so attractive but he knows he's attractive so it makes him less attractive because you know so many other people want him so you look at yourself and realize you're ugly and it would be embarrassing to even think you have a chance with him when you're not even close to his level of attractiveness.... also the video says 420 likes lol

[@alvinxiong]

Hopefully, it's ok if I repurpose this message to fit my needs rn because I don't smoke, and I don't hate people or the idea of smoking; it's just a choice I have made, but what I got out of this video is to get rid of the factor that is holding you back from reaching your highest potential at the moment and for me that is gaming. Like you said, you don't hate smoking, and for me, I don't hate gaming, and I don't hate that version of myself because gaming has really shaped who I am today. But where I am now and where I want to be, gaming is the factor that is holding me back. I say this because I work a 9-5. I don't have a lot of free time for growth, and I used to use it all for gaming when I got back home. This is not to say gaming can't help you grow in some ways, but it isn't helping me grow in the areas that I want to grow in right now. So my resolve for 2024 is to give up gaming for now. And this is not giving up gaming forever because it is a big part of me, it's so I can achieve the things I want to achieve by the end of the year. I think being able to give up something that had a big control on my life will help me regain that control so that in the future, when I game again, but have something more important to do, I can prioritize that first before gaming. Anyway, this is not to preach, just my personal interpretation and how I will use this message to reach my goals. Love the video, and keep them coming.

[@jadrobe3492]

Hell yeah, there is a message for you anywhere. Really cool you found one here despite you not being a smoker. Hope you can achieve your goals ❤
