This week, I’m answering anonymous listener questions about cannabis, including:

• How do patients manage driving under Australia’s current presence-based laws?
• How far away is legalisation?
• What do you do when family members judge you for taking cannabis?
• Can cannabis become part of your identity?
• How can you reduce smoking without necessarily giving up the plant?
• Are you reaching for cannabis intentionally—or automatically?

We unpack the difference between medicine, habit and ritual, why stopping smoking can feel like losing part of yourself, and how curiosity can help us make changes without shame.

I also share details of the upcoming Brisbane rally for fair, evidence-based driving laws, an update from my latest questionable Wellness Field Note, some wonderful personal news and why “heyyy” is not a conversation starter.

Clarification: The reference to Fisherman’s Friends reflects personal anecdote only. There is no reliable evidence that mints prevent THC detection or alter roadside drug-test results. They should never be relied upon to avoid a positive test. Never drive while impaired.

Mentioned in this episode

Fair cannabis driving laws

The peaceful rally will be held outside Queensland Parliament House in Brisbane on 25 August 2026, from 12 pm to 2 pm.

If you cannot attend in Brisbane, organisers are encouraging supporters to stand peacefully outside their local MP’s electoral office.
