This episode is a little more personal than usual.

Today, I’m sitting down with my daughter, Ruby and we’re having a conversation I’ve been quietly avoiding for a while.

Because while I spend my life educating people about the plant…
Ruby had an experience that changed her relationship with it completely.

We talk about:

• what it’s like growing up with a parent in this space
• the stigma that still exists (especially in younger years)
• her first experiences with cannabis
• and the moment everything shifted after a difficult “greening” experience

But this isn’t just about one night.

It’s about what came after the anxiety, the fear of it happening again, and how that feeling can linger long after the plant has left your system.

We also explore:

• why edibles can hit differently (and sometimes unexpectedly)
• the importance of dose, timing, and environment
• how CBD can be used as a harm reduction tool
• and what honest, open conversations about drugs actually look like in real life

This episode isn’t here to convince you of anything.

It’s here to show the nuance that the plant isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that education, safety, and self-awareness matter more than anything else.

If you’ve ever had an experience that didn’t feel right…or you’re navigating this with your kids, your friends, or even yourself this conversation is for you.

IN THIS EPISODE

• Growing up around cannabis: stigma, secrecy, and shifting perspectives
• First experiences with the plant (and expectations vs reality)
• What “greening out” actually feels like
• How one experience can lead to ongoing anxiety
• The difference between THC and CBD (in real-life terms)
• Why edibles require a completely different approach
• Harm reduction: what we wish more people were taught
• The gap between school education and real-world drug use
• Navigating this as both a parent and a young adult

A NOTE FROM KYLA

This one stretched me.

It’s one thing to talk about the benefits of the plant it’s another to sit across from your daughter and hear how it impacted her in a way you didn’t expect.
