My New Favorite Drug

I’ve used cannabis continuously for 42 years, and I talk about living without it as well as my strength training methods during three live, interactive calls every week on “Bill’s Bro Science”, so please use the link if you would like to join the chat. https://www.skool.com/old-bro-science... After 42 years of near-continuous marijuana use, I decided to make a drastic change. In this video, I share what happened when I went cold turkey from a heavy, daily 200mg THC habit, and the shocking discovery I made about the relationship between cannabis, sleep architecture, and mental health. If you are using marijuana to help you fall asleep, manage anxiety, or handle depression—but you still find yourself struggling—the very thing you think is helping might actually be holding you back. This is what 70 days clean taught me about the ultimate performance-enhancing drug: high-quality deep and REM sleep. • Why sedating your brain with THC isn’t the same as actual restorative sleep. • My personal data from tracking deep and REM sleep metrics before and after quitting. • How swapping caffeine and cannabis for optimized sleep architecture completely changed my mental health. If you're considering taking a break or trying to figure out why your anxiety won't budge, I hope my experience gives you a roadmap.
