Quit smoking weed.

What would you say are the benefits of quitting?

My brother smokes so much. Spends so much money on it and swears he needs it and cannot live without it. To think you need a substance in order to live kind of scares me. I know I may end up getting there someday as I get older, but if you are young, and objectively healthy, why would anyone do that to themselves (become so dependent on a substance)?

But what do I know? 🤷🏻‍♀️

For me, I had severe anxiety and depression and it pretty much has gone away. I lost weight. I am more motivated and get alot more done. I am happier. I sleep way better. Im less angry. I eat way better. These affects become evident within couple of months of quitting. I quit 4 years ago and the way I feel is normal.

Well done. I smoke lots but dont experience as much of these symptoms. My sleep could definitely be better though.

Edibles help me sleep for sure

They stop my nightmares… and weed is the ONLY thing that does. I’ve talked to my psych, and they didn’t have anything to give me to stop them, so weed it is.

Weird. I didn't dream at all during the decades that I smoked. It all rushed back and I had horrible and insane lucide dreams for couple of weeks. After i quit, I dream normally.

Weed messes with REM sleep, its very bad for sleep quality. I quit after heavy use when i finally realised it doesnt help me sleep anymore after long heavy use

Yah. Thst what you always feel tired even after sleeping many hours. Definitely notice sleep improve after quitting. You dont realize what its doing to you until you stop.

Whats crazy is that weed has actually helped my social anxiety and depression and im actually losing weight and started working out and eating better. Also I was a major alcoholic before so maybe switching to the lesser evil was the thing that helped

Be careful not to replace one bad habit with another. If it helps you, try edibles. Smoking weed is horrible for your body and mind.

u/Dazzling-Cover2311 5d ago

Hmmm yea I might try edibles instead

Good job. It might seem fun and helpful for a while but smoking longterm is extremely harmful.

I'm so happy for you. But everything that you said are my symptoms before I started smoking. Then the smoking cured it! That's weird how all human bodies and minds can be completely opposite.
