Ever wonder if you might be a little too into your weed? This week, Jesse and Brandon take a chill, honest look at Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) — what it is, how to recognize it, and how to find more balance with your bud.

We break down the signs like:

• When “the munchies” turn into a full rotisserie chicken at 2 a.m.

• Bloodshot eyes and regrets

• Needing weed just to feel normal (aka, not the vibe)

We also chat:

• What the DSM-5 says about CUD (spoiler: it’s a real thing, but not everyone who smokes has it)

• Why cannabis affects self-control, eating, and sleep differently in everyone

• Tips from experts (like Tim Pickett) to reduce dependency — including drinking ice water, choosing healthy snacks like Cosmic Crisp apples 🍎, and listening to your body more

This isn’t a “weed is bad” talk — it’s more of a let’s keep it real kind of sesh. Whether you’re a daily toker or a weekend warrior, this episode gives you tools to check in with yourself without the guilt trip.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

• Cannabis Use Disorder is real, but nuanced. Not all daily users have it — but if cannabis controls you more than you control it, it might be time to reassess.

• Physical signs like bloodshot eyes, fatigue, irritability, or constant munchies can indicate dependency.

• Mental signs like needing it to relax, cope, or sleep every day are red flags.

• Small changes like drinking ice water or setting intentional limits can help you rebalance your relationship with weed.

💚 Cannabis School’s Advice:

No judgment, just curiosity. Use this episode as a gut check. We love weed — but we love feeling good even more. And sometimes that means taking a step back, even just for a few days.
