Cannabis, Grief, and the Difference Between Medicine and Escape


Listen Later

What happens when every cannabis memory is tied to the person you lost?

This isn't just another cannabis podcast episode—it's a raw, honest conversation about learning to distinguish between using the plant as medicine versus using it as escape. When grief forced Marjon to confront her relationship with cannabis, she discovered a powerful truth: the same dose with different intention creates a completely different experience.

In This Episode:

  • The moment cannabis stopped being neutral and became loaded with loss
  • How altitude (Denver elevation) completely changed cannabis tolerance and awareness
  • The critical question that transformed consumption: "Am I using this to feel what I'm avoiding, or to avoid what I'm feeling?"
  • Real examples of cannabis as medicine: THCV for morning grief paralysis, THC + CBN for emotional access, topical infusions for physical pain
  • When cannabis as escape becomes obvious—and what to do about it
  • Why some emotions require full sobriety to process
  • Building an intentional cannabis practice during crisis and transition
  • The role of different cannabinoids: THC, CBD, CBN, CBG, THCV for grief support

Whether you're navigating loss, reconsidering your relationship with any substance, or learning to use cannabis with greater intention, this episode offers a framework for honest self-inquiry. No shame. Just awareness. And awareness is the first step toward healing.
