    QNH BSM/Qaneh Bosem/Kaneh Bosm/Kannabis/Cannabis is in the Holy Anointing Oil, this is a sacred medicine from God so we don't have to use man-made synthetic junk (pharmakeia). Genesis 1:29 gives us permission to consume all plants. God spoke to Moses from the midst of a burning bush.. God appears as a pillar of smoke and as a pillar of fire.. There's an underlying theme here for those with discernment.

But remember feeling ashamed can also be a way of recognizing where you are, and where you want to be. Which, to me at least, is a very important start. I’m just starting now and on Day 2. Take care of yourself, you got this.

    Think of thc as a correction officer in prison. It is his/her job to take that time away from you as you age and the world in front of you slips by. Missing out on all the great things you've missed cause you wanted to sit, be bored and smoke. Work isn't easy. It never was, but when you work you are rewarded with compassion, money, and great things to spend it on. Now you have that time out of prison of addiction you see how great and fun gardening is to you. You get delicious veggies and herbs from it. Not a bunch of burnt ashes. Enjoying life is what you make out of it and what you work towards. Your doing amazing my friend, keep it up!

    55 days off THC for 30 years. I watched this post before falling asleep last night. I had a dream that reminded me of something weed stole from me. That's time. The times I was bored I'd smoke, then smoke more, for hours. After years things dissappear in life. Think of the people in prison. I could have spent time with my dog who got cancer and died. I could have spent time giving my grandmother a call to just talk and say hello, she is now dead. I could have taken time to take enjoy my kids as kids, take them on vacation, but now there becoming teens and Disneyland just wouldn't be the same. I could have taken the time to go see my family in CT but I sit here in California my kids never meeting with my parents there entire lives. I hear the same from people telling the stories from prison. That time was taken from them. When prison time is over, so much time passed you can never get back. Don't let thc imprison you into thinking your bored. There is a whole world out there for you to see. Loved ones that wanna just spend time with you. Boredom is truly what you make out of life. It's easy to sit and smoke not notice until 30 years of sitting slip by. Then you see all the things you could have been doing during those boring times.

    My biggest issue is that I crave the feeling of being high. It made everything more interesting. It made simply sitting on the couch not as boring. I can't think of anything that will give you that same high feeling. Sure there's natural highs from working out etc but it's not the same mental state and feeling. Thats my biggest struggle with quitting right now is knowing no hobby will give me that same feeling of being high.

    @@timothymailloux7257 ya time is so precious. You don’t want to see yourself in 5 years from now in the same position and regretting you didn’t pursue your goals. It’s having to deny yourself and give up that high for a more fulfilling life. I’m a Christian and I quit for the reason it was poisoning my body and I kept feeling chastised inside my spirit. I had a nagging feeling. I know the struggle to give up that particular high. It’s better than being drunk, because you just observe and feel things amplified. I think I lied to myself that the high was making me more spiritual because I was starting to depend on it. It was a struggle I never experienced but I hate addiction. I really hope you get free of this. These videos really help!

    I think being bored as a result of stopping smoking weed has got more to do with how it affects dopamine in the brain, not having more time. If you smoke consistently for a period of time then eventually your brain will become dependent on it in order to seek enjoyment from activities and its hard to derive the same pleasure from those activities without it. So usually you have to wait a few days before you start enjoying the things you used to like without it again, hence the boredom.

    I gave up THC for 3 months with your help, then I relapsed. Today I begin again. The reason I failed was because I didn't have a plan to succeed. I had allowed myself to eat whatever I want and be extremely lazy and I put on an extreme amount of weight, which led me back to THC because I love to exercise on it and it helped me control my appetite. So basically I failed at my last attempt because I just channeled one unhealthy addiction into another. I've still been listening to your videos on and off because I find you so helpful and you were able to help me quit for three whole months after like 8 years of trying. This time I know I'm going to be successful because I'm planning to start my own business and I finally found my passion which is that I want to be a personal trainer and I want to help women and the elderly become strong and powerful. That passion will be my new addiction. I love your channel keep doing what you do.

    On weed, I’d often spend my evenings playing Nintendo 64 games from my youth. There was something about that combo of weed and nostalgia that felt like it was about to lead to pure joy, but it always stopped short. Then I quit, and now those games might be fun for a laugh once in a while or with friends, but major anhedonia in trying to marathon like I would on weed. People underestimate weed addiction. “Literally everything is a good bit less fun” is a hell of a side effect of quitting. But also, “eventually things balance out and then you don’t have to smoke weed in order to have fun” is a hell of a benefit.

    At 15 years old to you helped me quit smoking carts. Carts caused me to get chs and then stomach ulcers that led to me getting h pylori that’s caused me to almost loose my life with having appendicitis that led to me getting my appendix removed because I waited so long to go to the ER bc of me constantly smoking the cart and numbing the pain the er doc said I was lucky to get there at the time I did or else I would’ve died that same night and it was 10pm when I went after that I got cleaned and you help me realize that there’s so much more to life and the life outside of addiction and life is beautiful and has so much to offer

    You have some good points. Personally I don't plan on stopping but I am very anti addiction. I take breaks every few months just to detox and know I'll never be in a place of addiction. I do the same with drinking as well. Personally I believe being able to control consumption without having to demonize it or be scared of it is the ultimate way. I don't have a fear of substances I have a fear of addiction. Knowing I can see when my consumption is increasing and just flat out stop cold turkey for an indefinite time is my favorite feeling. Sometimes I see how long I can go without pot might be a week, might be a month. Might hangout with friends and go wild.

    It's a mix of boredom and not wanting to do or finding pleasure in the things I did when I smoked - even making art. I know this feeling will pass, but all I feel like doing is just kind of sitting and doing nothing. I'm on day 4, so I'm very early into the process.

    One of the best ways I've dealt with withdrawal is to completely disrupt my daily life and environment. One time i was driving across country and quit, lasted 2 months (couldn't deal with the anxiety dreams eventually relapsed.) Another time I traveled for 5 weeks to South America but smoked as soon as I got home. But both times I had almost no issues or discomfort except a little trouble sleeping. Which can be a real problem if you have a full time job. So vacations are an excellent time to get sober and rest as needed.
