yes. It's hard sleeping without it once you get used. also after using it daily, without it you get angry easily for a few days. but… it's way less addicting than nicotine, which is a nightmare.
Weed actually almost gave me kidney failure , there's this somewhat rare condition called Cannabis Induced Urinary retention that makes it so that your brain cannot send the signal to your bladder to actually excrete urine. After speaking to doctors they told me that if I continued my cannabis usage I could be facing kidney stones , bladder stones and possibly even kidney failure in the coming years. I'm not sure how many people can relate to this but it happened to me and its what convinced me to go sober .
U definitely get physical withdrawals from weed I use to be extremely addicted to carts 🛒 I’ve since quit smoking and definitely feel so much better, weed showed me that I didn’t need it.
I love demi lovato but i feel both of them are living in denial. Which i guess we all have at some point in our smoking years .Demi is a addict shes just become addicted to a lower grade substance to get her through. Cannabis is 100% addictive
Uh, did you just say that you were going to define what “physical addiction” was and then just proceeded to read allowed an article describing possible/potential symptoms that can be associated with physical withdrawal? Describing some of the POSSIBLE/POTENTIAL symptoms that are associated with physical withdrawal doesn’t define what physical withdrawal is.
Hes too caught up with his perspective. He works out like crazy he has great discipline and structure in his life and doesnt smoke enough to really feel that dependence. Which is great for him im sure if we all took control of our lives like that we wouldnt have as much of an issue with it.
I definitely struggle with quitting its always so hard but I definitely have some things that help me through the first few days and are always good to keep up but it definitely messes with my appetite but I also have mad anxiety that does that which is why I smoke but what I'll do is exercise like crazy, go on a long walk 5 miles or more and generally that would bring my appetite back and then it also helped with the sleep since your just so exhausted from exercising. Physical activities are a secrete drug to helping you quit.
Hahaha no withdrawals? I ended up in the hospital last time I went off it because of CHS. I can tell you from personal experience it’s physical and psychological!
He is right to a certain degree, because the only true way to smoke weed is through flower and I recommend in paper and not a blunt cuz it’s tobacco, but when u receive thc through a black market cart ur gettin chemicals, or dabs that is such a high concentration of thc u can get addicted but to me that’s not real weed, and u can get addicted to weed if u abuse it but if u abuse almost anything U can get addicted to it.
Rogan is a idiot…. there are withdrawals both psychological and physical… I have and many many others have experienced it so sorry Joe…just STFU about weed and stay with your alien podcasts.
As with nicotine withdrawal (so mild as to be almost imperceptible and doesn't even wake you up) physical symptoms can occurs, due to mental deprivation. These include.. insomnia, sweats and irritability.
Physical withdrawals is a very real thing! Insane sweating while just sitting still on my couch, insomnia for about a week, my head & brain feelings totally "zonked" & out of it. These are just a few physical symptoms I went through while quitting high THC weed. Your videos keep getting better & better! Keep it up!
You are the one person who has been able to help me quit weed and actually stick to it. I’m at 28 days now, this is the longest I’ve been off it in 3 years and my motivation and energy are already miles better. As a result of not having the munchies now I’m also eating healthier too. This is the best I’ve felt in a long, long time. I can’t thank you enough!!!
I’m on a tolerance break now. I’m coming off of liquid live resin carts and concentrates. I starting using them because my tolerance was extremely high. I think that people should proceed with caution when using products containing higher amounts of THC.
Ive never experienced a physical addiction on weed. Its just a matter of making the decision to want to quit and break the habit. When i quit i remember the first day coming home from work i had no urges all day. The second i got home and would normally smoke up I got the urge but let it pass and thats that. Occasionally i may smoke with a friend every so often maybe once a month but it is no longer a daily thing and I had very little trouble after that initial urge after work. Now nicotine is a different story i cant get that damn monkey off my back.
Do you know if physical symptoms come back after the 7 day mark?
The first 3-5 days were insane for me. But I’m surprised how great I feel now. I’ve replaced weed with working out, so it’s not like I’m gonna go back. I was always afraid of the physical pain. If it’s all mental from here, then let me thank you for getting me through this. I’ve tried to quit many times, but I’m finally done now.
Awesome video Dr. Frank, I have been sober from weed since November 2021 and your videos have helped me so much in understanding the dangers of this addiction and it’s potential effects long term
I’d say I agree. For someone to say there’s NO physical addiction with weed is incorrect. Although there’s no dangerous withdrawal symptoms, there are still withdrawals. Trouble sleeping Nd psychosis being the biggest 2 for me in the past
Well done Dr. Frank! You’re speaking truth to the “power “of this famous podcast… is generalizations are unfair to those who have struggled for years with the physical and psychological effects of using marijuana to mask unaddressed emotional issues. Thank God I’m free of the grips of Mary Jane. You are by far the best channel speaking the truth about the harms of marijuana. I do not wish to limit other peoples freedoms at all… But for many it can cause big problems and hold us back from achieving what we really want to achieve in this life
after going on 36 years misdiagnosed with ADD today I found out why I smoke weed and what's actually wrong with me, doing an EEG scan we discovered i don't have ADD and i'm actually stuck in fight or flight mode, it all really comes down to 1. nutrition, I eat hardly any thing that feeds the brain 2.not having enough energy to feed the brain yet over adrenalized and ready to fight T-REX for me i smoke a small bong hit ever 30 mins mainly the effect i chase is that initial calm and soothing of the brain and almost realignment. I would say after doing more research, addiction comes more from what your body is unable to supply you with and resorts to the next best thing regardless of the negatives it poses, i have quit for say a who day but come night time I'm still in flight or fight mode and if I do not have something to bring that down i prefer to just have 1 or two bongs and calm down. hopefully with some real effort in the next few weeks changing diet and doing more exercise I will be able to try quit as i want to get a pilots license.
Now ur trying to justify it this is bogus non-medically backed and basically your opinion you have no school papers to back this no University research papers there is not a physical dependence for weed when you have done heroin benzos methadone like that for years and then try to get off that's physically addicting you are just one of those guys who thinks that he knows everything it's only psychological and I know this from experience you must have been smoking that spice chemical s**you're not a doctor I'm not trying to talk s** just vaguely stating facts I disagree with you spreading fake news yeah there may be a mood change might not feel up to par but that is not physical that is all in your head I think you're a weak minded person to think that you're physically addicted to WEED MAN SMH
im on day 10 now and doing weights everyday i think im getting stronger like doing more weights then i ever did when i was smoking nightly, im not working atm (job change) so im only getting the upset tummy and sleeping in till about 11 am in the mornings i do have a low case of crohns and do use a drop of cbd oil (no thc) at night to calm down before bed etc
I'm three weeks after quitting weed and I have fucked up dreams and wake up often at night. When I wake up again usually after 4 a.m., I can't sleep anymore, every day for 3 weeks after quitting, no matter what time I fall asleep. Massacre. Something is definitively misregulated, fucked up. I don't know if it has anything to do with melatonin because I keep a diet and don't eat anything from 6 p.m. to 10 a.m. In addition, I walk around the house as if I had a menstrual period, I have massacre mood swings and sometimes I shout at my household members for no reason. In addition, a few years ago I got nail psoriasis, a massacre, I don't know if it has anything to do with the diet or the endocannabinoid system. Gastro was killing me, I ate a lot of sweet, I could not control myself. I will definitely quit it and never smoke this shit again, and I have smoked DAILY FOR 15 YEARS AND I WAS LOVING IT !!! Certainly marijuana gave me something positive, I woke up and my consciousness is different, better, it's harder to deceive me, I recognize people better. But what she was supposed to give, she already gave and I will not get more from her, only more problems so… QUITING IS A MASSACRE BUT WORTH IT FOR YOUR HEALTH. Give it a try and you'll see that the withdrawal effects are physical like a motherfucker. Greetings to you from 40 years old marijuana smoker who has SMOKED CONTINUOUSLY FOR 15 YEARS !!!! And he is already a non-smoker 🙂 AUU AUU AUUUUU !!!
It’s just a plant bro, I can quit whenever I want. It’s not addictive I just need it to get to sleep and to get appetite. Scratching in your grinder for 30min to get the last bits out is totally normal when you’re out of weed. I swear it’s better than alcohol and it literally cures cancer.
Hmm.. what did you just say? I forgot the question, what were we talking about again?
Week 2 of no weed and already it's the best decision I've ever made. I quit my deathcore band 2 weeks ago and cut off any ties with most in my life who do it, because we couldn't get through practice without smoking that, and everytime we'd practice I'd have to play them the songs we've been practicing for months so they could remember it. Almost completely killed my passion for music as a whole. 1st week wasn't very great but I think most of the short term effects have passed now, I've been going to bed and waking up at more reasonable times, I've been getting a lot more done and I'm releasing my first song for the first time in 5 years and couldn't be happier that I quit. And cutting ties with a lot of people was very tough, made me feel isolated because almost everyone around me/most of my friends, outside of family does it, but this channel has shown me that I am not alone. Peace be with all and good luck on your recovery it is worth it, it absolutely is
The people that think weed addiction is real probably think the earth is flat and I'll be gladly to push them off the edge. It's all in your mind and if you have a weak mindset you'll be "addicted".
Not sure where the consensus came from that its okay to be psychologically addictive but not physically addictive. Hell that can be worse then physically addictive.
Went to a rehab to get off of weed—which I was smoking for over 6 years trying to stop, but failing every time—and I just want to say that this video is extremely accurate. I appreciate all the work you do on this channel. I watched you for a year before actually quitting, wondering how people got sober. It wasn't until I went to a rehab that I was able to quit. I am 106 days clean and, in my recovery, one of the hardest issues is people not even acknowledging that there is serious potential for addiction. Or calling it only psychological when smoking clearly has physical effects as well (ex. red eyes, sedation). Plenty of people have laughed and snarked at my explanation of my issue with and recovery from it, and besides devaluing my own experiences, I think it is a real shame for all. Your work will save many almost wasted lives one day sir! It takes acknowledgement, acceptance and then willingness to take action! God bless you and have a good morning. 👍

I’ve been smoking for the better part of forty years. I know damn well it physically hurts to quit
Weed actually almost gave me kidney failure , there's this somewhat rare condition called Cannabis Induced Urinary retention that makes it so that your brain cannot send the signal to your bladder to actually excrete urine.

Good information 🧠

I love demi lovato but i feel both of them are living in denial. Which i guess we all have at some point in our smoking years .Demi is a addict shes just become addicted to a lower grade substance to get her through. Cannabis is 100% addictive

Thanks for doing this brother.
Hes too caught up with his perspective. He works out like crazy he has great discipline and structure in his life and doesnt smoke enough to really feel that dependence. Which is great for him im sure if we all took control of our lives like that we wouldnt have as much of an issue with it.

Physical activities are a secrete drug to helping you quit.
Your whole channel is shitting on weed gfy
My stomach turns-like crazy when I’ve quit before.
Why quit? 😂
Hahaha no withdrawals? I ended up in the hospital last time I went off it because of CHS. I can tell you from personal experience it’s physical and psychological!

Joes in denial. Ask are most drug addicts who use a drug for pleasure on a regular basis.
You are the one person who has been able to help me quit weed and actually stick to it. I’m at 28 days now, this is the longest I’ve been off it in 3 years and my motivation and energy are already miles better. As a result of not having the munchies now I’m also eating healthier too. This is the best I’ve felt in a long, long time. I can’t thank you enough!!!
Those who claim that cannabis cannot be addictive propably never met someone who has quit / trying to quit
Joe would so lucky to have you on his podcast!
I’m on a tolerance break now. I’m coming off of liquid live resin carts and concentrates. I starting using them because my tolerance was extremely high. I think that people should proceed with caution when using products containing higher amounts of THC.

after going on 36 years misdiagnosed with ADD today I found out why I smoke weed and what's actually wrong with me, doing an EEG scan we discovered i don't have ADD and i'm actually stuck in fight or flight mode, it all really comes down to
1. nutrition, I eat hardly any thing that feeds the brain
2.not having enough energy to feed the brain yet over adrenalized and ready to fight T-REX
for me i smoke a small bong hit ever 30 mins mainly the effect i chase is that initial calm and soothing of the brain and almost realignment.

I love you Joe Rogan but Imma have to strongly disagree👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Rogan is right
Me waking up and wanting to pop a Xanax bàr under my tongue is not an impulse….. I also love JR, that's my dude – but I'm def addicted to bud
I used to like Joe Rogan a few years ago but he has no idea what he's talking about I honestly can't even listen to him now.
Now ur trying to justify it this is bogus non-medically backed and basically your opinion you have no school papers to back this no University research papers there is not a physical dependence for weed when you have done heroin benzos methadone like that for years and then try to get off that's physically addicting you are just one of those guys who thinks that he knows everything it's only psychological and I know this from experience you must have been smoking that spice chemical s**you're not a doctor I'm not trying to talk s** just vaguely stating facts I disagree with you spreading fake news yeah there may be a mood change might not feel up to par but that is not physical that is all in your head I think you're a weak minded person to think that you're physically addicted to WEED MAN SMH
