This video is 100% accurate. If I quit THC for a week or two my dreams come rushing back explosively. It's incredible how lucid and frequent they become every single night for almost a month straight.

Great video! Take a break guys! I am 27 and have been smoking daily since 18. Everytime I take a break for a couple months, the overall quality of my life increases. Sleep, conversations, and motivation is much much better. Your body holds thc for as long as 90 days. But within a couple of weeks of not smoking the brain fogginess goes away. I get that it’s very difficult to quit or take a break, but it is most definitely necessary. Discipline yourself. Find a hobby like going to the gym, or something healthy along those lines. I hope this helps some of you(:

I’ve been a heavy THC smoker for about 20 years. A few years ago, I moved to Texas and took a break from smoking. I almost never dream normally, in Texas however, I was dreaming, like A LOT, and my brain decided it wanted to relive my most painful memories while I dreamt. After a little under a year, I moved away, started smoking again and almost completely stopped dreaming This is the first time I have ever heard of a study backing my personal experience. Thank you, ASAP.

as a junior in college now, i just wanted to come on and comment abt the impact you guys have had on me!! ive been watching you since i was a preteen, and your work interested me so much, that it sparked an interest in pursuing psychology (now in college i study cognitive science). coming from a public education system that didnt ever explore science more broadly into this field, you both were an integral part in that discovery of my passion. love yall <3

As a male with PTSD, this was been wayyy better for me than other prescription drugs like Quetiapine and SSRI's etc.
@thomaswest2583
I can't speak for everyone, but it helps me sleep more easily and deeper.
@tubasungod
You're exactly correct about dreams. When I regularly use, my dreams stop. I actually started a tolerance break last weekend and my dreams started to come back a couple nights ago. Happens every time like clockwork.
@MediocreFilms
This was an excellent video and right on the money, although I was surprised you didn’t go into a little more detail about the differences between Indica and sativa strains. I have taken Indica for sleep for many years now and it has been a lifesaver! But I do need to take a break every once in a while due to increased tolerance, and those brakes are never fun.

Just turned 64 and have been a daily user of cannabis since the age of 13, I quit using after a major heart attack a year ago and went thru some insomnia issues after quitting. That was basically the only issue I was having but even now I don’t sleep the greatest but I do dream a lot so I do agree with a lot of the information this video provides. I have started to smoke every other day right before bedtime and the relaxation it provides is unmatched by anything else I have tried , I know it may make me sound like a stoner but I feel more in touch with nature and overall a better and more compassionate person and I truly believe it helps my heart relax like any other muscle in my body. I have found that if I smoke every night I do become lethargic during the day so every other night seems to work the best for me I do not consume any alcohol and never have and now believe everything in moderation.
@Sacto91656
Started smoking cannabis daily at 18. Tried repeatedly to quit during the 40+ years of daily use but couldn’t get past the withdrawal symptoms for more than a few weeks. At 64 now and have stuck it out cold turkey for 90 days and counting. Best I’ve ever felt in years. Dreaming again and sleep cycle has increased to 7+ hours a night. Cannabis helped during the rough patches but glad to be able to handle it on my “own”. Newly subscribed. Thanks for the great content.
@theydisintegrate
I started weed coincidentally right when the pandemic started and I've been a daily user since then, so over 3 years. It completely solved my insomnia and anxiety, but increased my experience of negative emotions in relation to society (I'm fine when I'm by myself). So it's one problem or the other, it seems. I'm taking a week off of work and life to try to quit for awhile. Moderation seems like the best idea, but my addictive personality has made this impossible up to this point. It's hard to give AF as you get older.
@mattymae7044
As someone who suffers from insomnia and almost daily nightmares when I finally fall asleep, THC helps me so much. I sleep and don't have any nightmares. I do develop a tolerance, which is why I usually take a 10 day break every month or so. For me personally, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I've heard from veterans who suffer from night terrors that THC is an incredible solution for them, as well.
@ek67
After being a daily smoker for over 3 years I quit a couple months ago for my pregnancy, and I was actually convinced my hormones were causing my dreams because I had never had so many dreams that I could remember so vividly in my life. Really interesting to learn this is the actual reason
@studyhistory2ctruth
I quit smoking weed and slept better after about a month. Lost a lot of weight and had a ton more energy. My stress was reduced which as well I always thought it was helping with it. If you have been smoking for years and want to quit cut back and only do it on weekends, then once a week then every other. I found was the best way to stop.
@RJSR
Ive been wondering about this lately. Crazy good timing, thanks for all the hard work 👍
@teaghanpeloski21
Love the balanced approach to your explanation! As a chronic smoker I’m still working on my relationship with cannabis 😅 This video was super helpful, and I’ll definitely be smoking smaller amounts, less frequently and taking an extended break eventually
@summerfadestowinter
I started using edibles to sleep about a year ago, always the same 10 mg dose. The longest break I've taken was a week. I feel better rested and still dream like I did before I consumed. I fall asleep faster. What used to take me 3-4 hours to shut off my brain now takes 30 minutes. I take a few days off if I don't have work, but it has helped when the thoughts won't be quiet and when I come home in pain from work.
@m0zkiii
thank you for this deeply compassionate video. its so nice to know i’m not alone
