Vanlife: My relationship with weed. (Boulder Colorado)

[@alexanderdefender]

Just wanted to say that I used to be a pot advocate. Did it daily for a couple of years, but it wasn't until I got really sick when I realized weed does not help improve health imo. I struggled with mercury poisoning and I found that whenever I would vape I still got terrible headaches, dissociated, poor memory, etc... I stopped for months, and every few weeks I would test out when I could start vaping again. It always left me feeling worse off than when I was sober. The point I'm trying to get at is if you are buying from someone else, you do not know the true source and you are inhaling pure pesticides, insecticides, heavy metals, fungal spores, etc. I noticed these things only when I was sick because they caused me to feel more ill. I am in a phase where I do it socially but so far in the past 6 months it's been a hand full of times. I love the high you get, but it puts me into a fog and honestly most of the time I feel more clear headed and have more fun being sober doing my hobbies. It's fun every once in a while but I've learned it's too much of a vice for me. I have the attitude now that for all those days I spent lounging around getting high, I could have spent time actually doing those things instead of dreaming about them. Wish I could enjoy it casually but it's addictive to me sadly.

[@Wheelsss]

Bro don’t ever feel pressed to explain how you’re out here enjoying yourself especially when comes to weed others out here hooked on caffeine and alcohol

[@Wheelsss]

Smoke uppp

[@keatonthomas5036]

Weed is mother nature’s way of loving us ❤️

[@wearejungians]

Hey Dude. Idk what your name is and I don't know how you did it but you've just opened my eyes and literally changed my life. I just got off the phone crying with my mom because I realized my life has been going to shit and it was primarily because of synthetic marijuanna. I've been smoking every day and I didn't even know what Spice or synthetic marijuanna was! I've isolated myself from my friends & family (to the point that I'm actually alone and only have my mom who I Can talk to). I was getting close to suicide and had contemplated it a few times (I would never because I can't leave my moms alone). I was on the phone with my mom and I'm not very religious but your video was watched today which is almost may 1st and my dad actually passed away on may 1st 1998 (I was 2). A few days ago my mom told me that she was actually praying to my dad to give me some guidance and direction and 10 minutes ago I was super depressed. I've looked into the symptoms and effects of this synthetic weed and it is AWFUL. Thank you so much for sharing this brother. I greatly appreciate it and I am a life time sub now brah! I'll be joining van life soon enough because Im in miami and the cost of rent is too high. hope to meet you one day and shake your hand. God bless you brother! Also my mom said thanks haha. Told her some random dude helped me XD to anyone who wants the long details on synthetic weed and the damage it can do to your psyche check out www.mtregis.com/addiction/synthetic-marijuana/effects-signs-symptoms/

[@byates59]

If I didn't smoke a little MJ at the end of the day I would go postal! Thanks for the video!

[@WizardDream]

hahaha see! So beneficial for you

[@arriagada1957]

Weston..So far your videos are great ..! Just do what ever you f@#$ing feel doing..!

[@WizardDream]

hehehe thank you

I first smoked weed when I was 18 y/o with a girl I met in a nightclub in Panama City Beach, Fl., in 1976. It gave me a nice feeling, as I walked on the beach with a beautiful full moon out. And I didn't smoke it again until I was 31, and I smoked it from the time I woke up till the time I went to sleep. And I smoked it for two years like that. Then I quit and didn't smoke any until I was 40, and it made me very paranoid. And then I smoked it at 53 y/o and again, it made me very paranoid. It was so unnerving to me, cause I was constantly getting up and looking out the window thinking that the cops were coming, and was going to stop at my apartment. And that was the last time I smoked any, and now I'm 59 and feeling great without anything. My pain meds make me feel relaxed, which I have to take for a crushed L5 vertebra, but it's definitely not like a high. It's just something that relieves my anxiety, as well as my pain. And I don't have the desire to do any kind of drug or even drink alcohol. I'm happy the way I am, and I'm much more creative without any kind of high from anything. And plus I have good relationship with God, and that has certainly been a blessing for me, although I'm far from perfect. That's the kind of life that I wish for you and everyone else. I'm still the hippie that I used to be, I just don't get high any more. Have fun, with much peace. :-) ✌

[@Alexotronic]

I KNEW it! (that you guys were high in that one vid) Really nice to hear someone being so open and honest about it. -- Just moved to Seattle a week ago, and resolved not to smoke until I can figure out my life out here ... and it's weird... but it feels really good to just be sober

[@cam-bo11]

I had a bad experience once with weed and also felt like I was losing my mind. It ended up getting kind of trippy, I panicked and laid down, not even really sleeping, but "woke up" 20 mins later totally straight up sober and clear headed. It was bizarre. It's never happened again, but the paranoia about it lingers. A bad experience is going to completely fuck up your day at least, if not make you feel mental for a few hours.

[@Rio-ej4jp]

How to keep weed safe during van life pls

[@MrStifler8000]

Definitely spot on re dampening your fire. Contentment great. But too much and there's not need to complete your desires. Both my brothers smoke it like coffee. Lost their motivation a long time ago. It's always "I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that". Don't get me wrong... occasionally great. Good stuff West. As always

[@visualtraveler5263]

And by the way, Pearl Street was an awesome place to be, back in 1981-82, when I was out there. Even back then, at every yard sale in Boulder, nearly every one of them had a pot pipe for sale, some small ones and some big bongs.. lol. :-)) ✌

[@dantravels9269]

I was gonna make a video, but then I got high. I was gonna film for youtube but then I got high. Now my subs have dropped and I know why.......Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high!!!!!!!

[@SlimTravels]

Dan Travels LMFAO!!!! 🌿🌿🌿👈👈✌👍✌😇👊👍👌✌😜😊

[@ifarted6381]

Dude...close to home for me. Went through the exact same thing with spice, couldn't even smoke weed for like 2 years because of it and had severe panic attacks. All good now though...word to everyone, stay with the real thing

[@playhard23]

Made me laugh when I saw the title! Love your videos buddy!

[@WizardDream]

heheh thanks :D

[@DazeyChaineMusic]

i smoke it here and there too. and everywhere. lol

[@tonidoyle6503]

I will make my first trip to Colorado when I get my rig.. glad you are cool.... yay

[@WizardDream]

haha maybe we can smoke weed together!

[@stephenlockecyclonedrifter6876]

Hey man thanks for posting from my childhood canyon. I've been in that exact spot!!!!!!

[@WizardDream]

haha cool! I camped out here for a few nights with no problems at all!

[@erinwelsh1636]

I smoke medical cannibas daily for MS. It’s a life saver♥️

[@griffingriffin3769]

Good video, Colorado is the perfect place to get on the road footage, Stay safe

[@willsmooth45]

I love that toy smoke ❤️❤️ gonna try slowing down from being a daily user

[@GeorgePencilArt]

Legalized weed seems the way to go. I only tried it once decades ago and got really sick, but that's likely because it was a party and I had combined drinking with weed. I wouldn't try any now as I can't recall my workplace's strict anti-drug rules exactly on this subject. I know one can drink on their own time, but they can't come to work under the influence, etc. I wonder if there is a standard for weed that determines when one has had too much to work, to drive, etc.

[@WizardDream]

I agree! Legalization is the way to go! :) Yeah I wonder too. It seems like everyone handles weed a little differently. Oh and I have met tons of people who get supper spinny while mixing alcohol and wee.

[@GeorgePencilArt]

It was like a scene from the Exorcist. haha!

[@WizardDream]

hahaha I would not want to see that lol

[@vonblocko2431]

Well said, thank you!

[@WizardDream]

Thank you :)

[@UntoldRelic]

Everyone has an opinion, which is fine. What is not fine is when those opinions infringe on one's personal autonomy.

[@WizardDream]

agreed!!

[@therollingcaveman4427]

come to conifer we gotchu ..keep up the great work man!

[@JumpingWatermelons]

I think weed is useful only in slight moderation. I'd say the right amount to smoke is only enough where you feel only a little bit high. If I get significantly high, like Westin, it really dulls the fire in me. Basically, I feel stupid. Sometimes I'll feel stupid even the next day or two. I have a naturally high tolerance, but a couple puffs can be a nice way to relax and feel a little bit different without any noticeable negative effect. I have friends who smoke very heavily and have a pretty strong addiction. They come home from work and smoke within 15 minutes, get super high, and reduce their brain functioning to about a 4th grade level or lower. They're sober only at work and then essentially ruin the only time they have to themselves. It's a very strange existence.

[@CaptainDustinAllen]

baller, smoke bud whenever you feel like it period

[@vansionliving]

"Some adult say no" ...you are an adult. lol. I never thought you were always high,.just high on life! Enjoy it! I did when I was in Colorado :)

[@WizardDream]

hahaha sometimes I still talk about myself as if I am a kid! But yes I just turned 25! Wth lol and I am glad :) so high on life!

[@SlimTravels]

Good talk...happy 420!!!

[@WizardDream]

[@Tracks777]

Awesome video,Keep it up!

[@JonPeacock]

Dude I had a similar experience with edibles as you did with spice, and have not touched it since. Kinda felt like I was out of my mind for the longest time, haha. Good vid man, keep it up!

[@WizardDream]

haha crazy right!! Same with me. Took me a couple years to get back to it. thank you :)

[@deshong5047]

This question is for any recreational smoker that lives in their van. What problems come with smoking weed and living on the road? Is it hard to find hookups? Is the law a problem? etc etc.

[@knightryder5292]

Cool beans with your relationship with weed it just depends on your lifestyle me personally not interested in smoking anything but I'll occasionally social drink. I like to face life clean and cut with a little Guarana for the extra boost if needed glad you doing great ✌

[@jimmies327]

does he talk about weed in perspective from van life at all? dont really care about personal opinions. just trying to figure out the laws and how I can live in my van with weed.

[@WizardDream]

c. b. Laws depends on state! This video I was in Colorado where it is legal, so I had some weed on me at all time cause I'm not worried. Here in Arizona I barely have weed on me. I am not a heavy smoker and I'm a bit paranoid about cops. If I do smoke I like vaporizers! Easier to hide the smell lol hope that helps

[@jimmies327]

Thank you! Yes I was wondering if it is ok to just live in ones van and always have weed in a place like Colorado.

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

I had a similar experience with getting freaked out on some bad stuff, in my case it was weed laced with meth and that is not a happy thing, not sure why anyone would want to do that! it ruined me for weed. that happened in like mid 1990's and ive never been able to smoke it since without feeling super freaked out which is kinda sad because I remember before that it was just a cool mellow thing. Interesting to see that you can think your way out of that "PTSD" situation. I never really TRIED to work thru it I just quit out of fear of losing my mind.

[@WizardDream]

That is so scary!! Yeah it was scary kinda facing it. I slowly worked my way back into weed and stayed aware of my mind. I would just get triggered and want the experience to end. So a little bit of acceptance and welcoming of the "bad" feeling made it kinda go away. Maybe one day you will try to think your way out lol

[@SwollenMustache]

I love weed, but it's like a once or twice a year thing for me.

[@WizardDream]

yeah! I used to be like that. Now I am always around pot so it is a little more often. its a nice treat :)

[@danemoore6632]

Great vids keep it up

[@banannie7687]

i watch these videos with my child and im afraid she is going to get the wrong idea so id better take a short break for awhile. my daughter actually asked me if she can live in a van when she gets her license omg! i told her no because its dangerous but when she turns 18 i know i cant stop her so im going to try to block her from the idea for as long as possible

[@WizardDream]

hey! And hopefully she doesn't get the wrong idea. You are the parent, but I think you should definitely encourage her! I think it isn't as dangerous as people think. I know a bunch of amazing women who travel nomadically and are having the time of their lives!! :D

[@bippyfuckerson4985]

Love your videos man, hope your doing well

[@WizardDream]

Thanks so much!

[@bippyfuckerson4985]

Wizard Dream really glad to hear that, keep it up man

[@Andy-qp7eq]

You're a wizard, Weston I'm a what?? A wizard But I'm just Weston :D

[@bradleybam]

weed is cool and you have the weed account. other states need to chill and follow co., or., wa. and cali on the cannibis income wagon. acapulco gold, ganja rasta , kauai electric, U of Calif humbolt, cheech and chong.

Cool fire... ;)

I think a billion people would NOT do MANY things if everyone else was unable "to know they were doing it "

[@lilSarahtonin]

a few years ago you bought me a shot, I wish you had bought me a blunt instead haha, jknot really I love your videos youre awesome!

[@WizardDream]

hahaha Sarah!!! What a beautiful day that was. thank you :)

[@ThePaulgillett]

Come to Fort Collins, I'll hook you up.

[@harleyjames6065]

ugh I hate this stereotype like all van dwellers are like all hippies and smoke weed........I will be when I get my van and stuff but that just because I want to relive the old hippy days. it was so beautifull

[@FSTOPMAFIA]

Thats for the inspiration. Im making a weed video.. lol

[@WizardDream]

[@mercedescreates]

"Or I constantly get accused of being high in my videos" LOLOL

[@PinxPer17]

im gonna go smoke a big fat blunt

[@WizardDream]

haha have fun! Blunts tear up my throat

[@InquireWithin]

I was dumb enough to try that synthetic crap and it freaked me out like there was no tomorrow. I was young and under the impression that if you can buy it at a regular store than it must be ok............ stick to the real organic stuff people (as long as you are old enough)

[@mercedescreates]

bahahaha this whole video

[@WizardDream]

hahah :D I am so glad you enjoyed

[@urbancowboy9511]

😇💖🙏

[@WizardDream]

:)

[@annieroche22]

Learn the difference between sativa and indica. You wouldn't go into a bar and ask for a glass of "alcohal". The same with weed. Learn about what you're smoking.

[@WizardDream]

AM R agreed! 💓🙏

[@doublesawbuck]

bro. same. wow

[@toriellen9472]

Can we be friends?

[@williamcarnley3769]

weed is good, lol

[@WizardDream]

haha Agreed :)

[@swagboytv9749]

Bro yu probably was hilusinating when smoked spice

[@heavydoodie924]

First of all, I would like to say that if you have never smoked marijuana, your stance on marijuana is only an opinion. Opinions are like ass holes. Don't be an ass hole. Cannabis is the only antidepressant that works for me. Paxil worked back at the turn of the century, but I lost my job and had to quit cold turkey. I went through brutal withdrawals including brain zaps and intense awkward headaches. Since that time, no pharmaceutical antidepressant has worked for me, and I've tried half a dozen varieties. As soon as the side effects from the pharmaceutical antidepressants kick in, I quit taking them because I know marijuana is gentle, pleasant, and kicks in almost immediately while pharmaceutical antidepressants take AT LEAST two weeks. I only use pot two or three times a day. I smoke 3-5 hits and stop. I don't get stoned. I have been stoned, and it's not for me. Most people fail to realize that marijuana has biphasic properties. In other words, depending on how much you smoke, you get two different effects. Once I learned this, I started playing with dosage and found that 3-5 hits and a 20 minute onset was what I was looking for. It's insanely idiotic and indefensible that the US Government has a patent on medical marijuana and also claims it has no medicinal benefit (hence its Schedule 1 drug classification). If you are anti marijuana, and have never smoked it, you are a propaganda regurgitation machine.

[@plutoplatters]

biggest addiction on the planet...maybe even "higher" than cell phones.

[@Torin_by_the_Ocean]

It's an addictive drug. I know people who must smoke up at least once a day... if not multiple times. Personally I'd rather meditate. I achieve a mellow state of mind with only positive extra benefits.

[@justinojalapeno]

One Awesome Inch people with addictive personalities can turn anything into being addictive. And I would say in those cases it'd be more classed as a dependency rather than addiction. But yes totally agree meditation is great. I'll sometimes meditate after a puff or two and find a deeper state of meditation. But to each there own

[@WHEREVER-I-ROAM]

One Awesome Inch SMOKE THE MARIJUANA IT'S ------- OK NOW ;-)

[@terryl5878]

quit smoking so much pot. you have so much more potential.........

[@WizardDream]

What is bad about smoking pot in your opinion? It is not bad for you! www.alternet.org/drugs/pot-could-save-your-life-4-ways-cannabis-good-your-brain

[@terryl5878]

Weston, not meaning to be a bummer to you. to each his own.....When you spoke about your anxiety with the smoking, it is exactly how I am when I do it. I personally for the most part do not like being stoned, and rarely do it. sometimes it can be Fun though, I understand! I think just don't over do it. peace to You! you are a good man!

[@tomhertz1614]

+Wizard Dream You know that fire you're talking about . That's your Testosterone. Weed raises your estrogen levels and takes the man out of you. Its been proven. Im a trainer and right when I take a hit I feel my testosterone go. I don't feel sexual at all. Can't imagine working out on it.

[@JumpingWatermelons]

You said yourself that it takes the fire out of you if you smoke a lot. That is definitely bad.

[@tomhertz1614]

My Wild Dreams That's why he said he does it occasionally now.
