In this episode, I share my personal experience with long-term weed use and the symptoms I went through that resembled Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS). I want to be clear — I was never officially diagnosed. This is not medical advice. This is simply my lived experience.

After more than 25 years of using weed, I noticed patterns in my body, my motivation, my energy, and my overall quality of life that I could no longer ignore. I talk openly about the symptoms I experienced, what improved after I stopped, and why listening to my body became more important than defending a habit.

This isn’t an anti-weed episode. I don’t believe weed is “bad,” and I don’t judge anyone who uses it. People’s bodies are different. Some people may tolerate it well. Others may not. Length of use, frequency, strain, quality, and individual biology all matter.

I also address some of the conversations and theories around modern weed — potency, pesticides, chemicals, and conspiracies — and explain why, for me, none of that mattered as much as one simple truth: something wasn’t working in my life, and I feel better without it.

If anything in your life is lowering your quality of life — weed or otherwise — it’s okay to pause, stop, and see what happens. You don’t need permission. You don’t need a label. You just need honesty with yourself.

This episode is about choosing clarity over comfort, honoring your own truth, and giving yourself a real chance at feeling better.

Coming Back Online is about honesty, healing, and personal responsibility.

I share my lived experience — not medical advice, not judgments, and not instructions for anyone else.

For a long time, I used weed to cope.

It started as a way to feel less, to quiet my mind, to escape the weight of things I didn’t know how to process yet. Over time, what felt like relief slowly turned into numbness — and I didn’t even realize how disconnected I had become from myself, my purpose, and the life I wanted.

In this first episode of Coming Back Online, I share the real story behind my relationship with weed, how it became a crutch, and what finally made me want something different. This isn’t about shame or labels. It’s about honesty, self-awareness, and choosing to come back to yourself when you’re ready.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, or like you’ve been living on autopilot, this is for you.

This podcast is a space for reflection, healing, and small steps forward — one honest conversation at a time.

Welcome.
You’re not alone.
