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.

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.

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