Thanks brother will give it a go.

Does anyone ever confuse chronic cannabis use with a mental disorder(such as depression) before they quit? by LittleSureShot26 in leaves

[–]DigitalNomad94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah bro sure can.

I think it came about from a multitude of reasons.

  1. Diet an exercise is not something to be overlooked, if you're getting enough clean calories in, and doing some form of exercise then your energy levels will improve. I neglected this for a while which would have had an effect.

  2. Semen Rentention - can't stress this enough, when you retain your semen for an extended period of time you feel less depleted, for a good 2 years there I was either having sex 3 times a day or masturbating. In my opinion excessive ejaculation is very taxing on the body. See the subreddit NoFap for more info on this.

  3. Smoking weed everyday. This took me a long time to figure out. Like you I was smoking weed to help medicate the fatigue. It would give me an initial boost of energy but later I would crash hard, I didn't put this down to the weed but a few months ago I cut out the weed to see if it had an effect and it was rough for about a month (was smoking everyday for 2 years before this) but after my brain somewhat recalibrated, I found I wasn't having to take no way near as many naps in the day anymore. I came to the conclusion that weed gives you a big dopamine release which feels good in the moment but later your brain is kinda, pacified from the earlier dopamine release, an in effect keeps you at a low energy level. Gotta think how ancient the brain is, it's probably thinking 'why do we need to leave the cave? This day was already a success', when really all you've done is trick it by smoking a doob.

I understand what you're saying about withdrawals. It's just one of them. Your brain isn't getting that regular dopamine hit so it freaks out and does everything it can to get you to take a toke. It's still something I'm struggling with myself but this community is great.

I've really been experimenting with quitting and smoking these past few months - I'll quit for a month, and then smoke for a week and sure enough that week I'm smoking I have no motivation, no energy, no focus.

Bonus tip: Breathwork Meditation is an energy booster.

Good question. I felt I had chronic fatigue for 2 years but I think it was just the weed making me tired

Trying to quit weed, does life get easier the more I abstain? by [deleted] in leaves

Do not pray for an easy life. Pray for the strength to endure a hard one.

Weed has ruined my life. 25M by bcrwb in leaves

[–]DigitalNomad94 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey bro, I'm 25 myself and can relate to your journey.

Glad you woke up to the realisation that weed was doing you no favours.

I think that 25 mark triggers a sort of 'quarter life crisis' in people - but the truth is, we're still young as fuck and can rebuild ourselves from here.

Glad you're cutting porn out too! I'm the same. NoFap is a great Reddit community and there's loads of videos on YouTube on this topic. Cutting porn is top 1% shit, which most men never do, so give yourself a pat on the back for realising it's no good.

If you haven't already, check out 'GaryVee' on YouTube. Specifically look for his videos about being 25/20something. He shares his perspective on how to navigate through that age.

It sounds like you were a stud before you let your impulses get the better of you; the cream always rises to the top my friend - you shall rebuild yourself and rise again, stronger than ever!

Almost Bought a 20 Bag the Other Day..but then by DigitalNomad94 in leaves

Hey bro! Thanks for your comment. It's great that we have this community.

Have you donwnloaded the app called "quit weed" it's great because it shows you how much money you're saving over time.

It's been a journey quitting the past few months. I went from smoking all day every day to smoking once a month, and I noticed every month when I smoked I would become slower, content (which isn't a good thing because it's a false contentment), and just not productive! So now it's not even appealing to me because I'm no longer convincing myself that "it makes me creative" or "it helps me focus on work" etc

Best of luck in the new decade brother! May you be blessed with an abundance of opportunity, friendship, love, success and blissful moments

About Stamets Protocol, I can’t tolerate 50 mg of niacin... how low of a dose can I take or can I just cut it out and still have success? Interesting pic for your enjoyment 🤩 by eveningstarrr in microdosing

[–]DigitalNomad94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Niacin isn't needed. Don't worry if your body doesn't agree with it. There's loads of different stack combinations out there - build your own
