I honestly believed I’d smoke weed forever.

At 15, I discovered cannabis. It felt great. The rush of new ideas, instant relaxation, easy connections with friends. Weed quickly became a constant companion. I smoked when life was good and when it wasn’t. Morning or night, busy or bored, weed fit every situation. Soon, it wasn’t just something I did. It was something I was.

Years later, the cracks started to show. Weed, once an escape, became a cage. I was tired, anxious, and struggled to sleep. My workouts felt pointless because I binged on junk food while high. I even developed allergies, sneezing and sniffling every time I lit up. But quitting felt impossible.

I tried quitting more times than I could count. I bought lockboxes to restrict myself, then broke them open. I promised I’d smoke only on weekends, but made excuses to smoke no matter what day of the week it was. Each failed attempt left me feeling defeated and stuck.

Then one night, while struggling to fall asleep, clarity hit me. I needed more than just willpower. I needed structure, accountability, and support. I started keeping notes about how often I smoked, how much money went up in smoke, and what symptoms hit when I tried to stop. I studied withdrawal timelines and mentally prepared for every tough moment. Most importantly, I leaned on friends who listened without judgment, reminding me that each relapse taught me something valuable.

That system finally worked. I stopped using weed, and the fog lifted. My sleep improved, workouts mattered again, and anxiety loosened its grip. The cage had opened, and I stepped out.

But I knew I wasn’t alone. Millions of people struggle to quit, stuck in cycles of trying and relapsing. Quitting cannabis is notoriously tough because withdrawal feels awful and cravings feel endless. I knew my approach could help others if it was simple, always available, and genuinely understanding.

That’s why I built 4:21.
