You can’t fix an addiction to cannabis by just quitting. I tried. Multiple times. Documented the process and built community around it. Every time I quit, the self-sabotage just showed up somewhere else. I then noticed this same pattern show up around the globe.

Here’s what actually works: stop trying to fix your relationship with cannabis. Start healing why the self-sabotage exists in the first place. Tend to your nervous system consistently, it drives everything.

Self-sabotage is rooted in embedded pathways in the mind and nervous system. It’s what more metaphysical camps may refer to as stuck energy. It’s a scientific thing now.

Cannabis isn’t the problem, but it may be bringing to the surface deeper layers of potential dissonance. In essence, bringing to the surface what generally remains repressed.

I used w**d unconsciously for decades. But if you had ever pointed that out to me I probably would have laughed at the idea, maybe smoked another joint, and went on about my day. Largely because I wouldn’t totally understand what that meant, and just out of a nervous system reflex of defensiveness.

I realize now that it wasn’t such a terrible or bad thing that I was doing all those years. In fact, it provided a lot of much needed comfort and relief. But what shifted was when I began to address the deeper layers of my mind that were the source of the need for comfort and relief.

Those ideas would have sounded silly to me in the past, but I now realize plenty of science supports it. Dr. Gabor Maté is one source I recommend in this video.

When I realized all of this and began the work to rewire these deeper aspects of myself, everything changed.

“Subconscious” is a broad term to describe a lot of different automatic processes within the human mind and body. But from a more literal perspective, rewiring is the process of writing new neural networks and pathways that result in the pruning away of the old ones.

These aspects of ourselves are incredibly important whether we have cannabis in our life or not. But even more so when we do.

If you’re feeling stuck in a w**d cycle, this is a pretty important thing to look at, especially if you’ve been stuck in that cycle for a while. Your circle of influence massively contributes to the way you feel in daily life when you have cannabis in your life. This includes both the content we digest and the people we interact with. If you begin to curate what comes in through your circle of influence, you’ll regain a great deal of clarity, energy, and motivation. Quitting not required.

12/23/2025

Back and forth with w**d wanting more clarity is a very familiar territory for me, because I occupied that territory for a good bit of my life.

What I eventually discovered, though, is that I could get the clarity, motivation, and fulfillment I desired without letting go of the plant.

This came after taking multiple tolerance breaks, one of which was a year without, and still finding myself stuck after the initial motivation came from the breaks I took. It turns out what I really needed was regulation. Dopamine, serotonin, central nervous system. I found out that merely by creating screen-free windows in the morning and evening, right after waking and right before sleep, I gained an astronomical amount of clarity back, and without getting rid of the plant I love. There’s also certainly something to be said for deeper aspects of the self, repressed emotions, etc.

But if you have been in a back and forth cycle with w**d, commit to this shift for two weeks, and I promise you will have a noticeable increase in clarity and energy.

If you want a more conscious relationship with cannabis, it comes down to implementing consistent awareness around what you’re doing and how you’re feeling when you use it.

Are you disconnecting (screens, zoning out, avoiding emotions or your day as a whole) or connecting (nature, creativity, movement, spending quality time with people who lift you up)? (These are just a few examples for both)

If you fall in the disconnecting category or it’s a mixed bag, just set the intention to check in with yourself each time you reach for the plant. Then choose something in the connecting category.

The more you practice this awareness and choose connecting activities with cannabis, the more your brain reinforces pathways associated with intentionality and presence—making cannabis a tool that supports clarity rather than clouding it.

I created something for people looking to build a more conscious relationship with cannabis. If this resonates and you want to make some shifts, DM me the word “Clear” and I’ll send it over.

I was fun to be around. But when I was alone? Not okay.
I tried blaming my vices. Tried fixing myself over and over. Nothing stuck because I was focused on the wrong thing.

It wasn't until I stopped treating myself like the problem and started building an actual relationship with myself that things shifted. Self-love used to sound like complete nonsense to me. Now it's the only thing that's ever actually worked. I just had to understand why and what the practical application of it was.

I'm not an Abercrombie model or anything like that now. But I'm happier and healthier than I've ever been. And I'm grateful for that past version of me because that discomfort fueled the change.

If you relate to this, if being alone with yourself doesn't feel good right now, it's possible to come out of that fog. And it's worth it.

If you identify as a “lazy w**d smoker” and you want that to change, the plant usually isn’t the first thing to look at.

Being tired after a long day and wanting to relax isn’t a problem. But when laziness feels consistent, heavy, or foggy, it’s usually tied to something else that’s already draining you.

Relationships can drain energy and have a huge effect on what we get from cannabis. And the first one to look at is your relationship with yourself.

If your inner critic is louder than anyone else, that voice is shaping your experience with cannabis before it ever enters the picture.

Cannabis is psychoactive. It tends to amplify what’s already there. If your environment, your relationships, or your self-talk are loaded with tension, judgment, or emotional pressure, that amplification shows up as heaviness, guilt, or lack of motivation.

If you feel you’re not in a position to change those dynamics right now, taking a break from the plant can make sense. If you are able to shift some of those inputs, the effects you get from cannabis will change with them.

If people tell you w**d makes you lazy, I disagree. Society says if you smoke w**d and feel unmotivated, the plant is the problem. Cannabis is a psychoactive plant medicine that reveals where you’re already checked out: unfulfilling work, draining relationships, a life you may be tolerating instead of living. The plant isn’t the problem for most people. What you’re bringing to it is what creates any laziness or lack of motivation.

If you’re smoking w**d every day and feeling lazy, there’s a good chance you’re doing it unconsciously. But that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
Maybe even other people have called you a quitter or you start projects but never finish. Maybe it all feels like an endless cycle.

So perhaps you should quit. Quit the flower.
And then don’t quit quitting. Never stop stopping.

That’s one route.

Here’s the other:
What if the laziness isn’t coming from the plant at all?
What if it’s showing you what’s already there, buried under work and routines or relationships that don’t fulfill you?

If you begin to address these deeper aspects of yourself, you might find the laziness flutter away, without having to quit the flower. 🙏🏼

I used to think cannabis made me lazy and unmotivated.
It didn’t. It showed me what I hadn’t worked through yet.

If cannabis has ever felt like it was getting in the way of your motivation, clarity, productivity, or energy, there’s usually something deeper going on in the mind and nervous system that’s worth looking at.

When those deeper layers are addressed, the relationship with the plant changes on its own.

If this resonates and you want to start shifting your relationship with cannabis in a more intentional way, message me the word CLEAR and I’ll send you something I recently put together to help with that.

Do you control the w**d, or does the w**d control you?
If you’re unsure where you stand with it, or if you want more control, the most optimal path forward isn’t force or rigidity.
It’s looking at and addressing what’s actually driving the pattern underneath — the mind, the nervous system, and the parts of you that may feel out of sync.

When those shift, your relationship with cannabis becomes clear and intentional.

I recently put together something that helps people create the foundations for those shifts.
If this resonates with you, send me a message with the word CLEAR and I’ll send it over.

Lazy or unmotivated cannabis users aren’t that way because of the cannabis.

I work with a lot of people who think w**d made or makes them lazy or unmotivated, but once we start talking, it’s almost never about the plant.

It’s the job they don’t like, a relationship they’re unsure about, the nervous system stuck in survival mode, or negative thoughts running nonstop.
Cannabis tends to magnify whatever state is already present in the mind or the body.

The good news is you can shift the effects you get from the plant without letting go of it.
I recently put something together to help people who feel this way do that.

If this resonates and you want to make a change — message me the word CLEAR and I’ll send it to you.
