This episode is honestly just me talking.
No heavy editing.
No perfect structure.
Just a real conversation about my history with weed, dependency, creativity, comfort, escape, and the role it played in my life for a long time.
I grew up around it.
A lot of my friends smoked.
It became part of hard times, good times, relationships, routines… life.
But I also started dealing with serious stomach issues and episodes that sent me to the ER multiple times. I was never officially diagnosed with CHS, but once I stopped smoking, those episodes went away completely.
I’m not here to judge anyone or tell people what to do.
I just think if you’ve been dealing with unexplained stomach issues, anxiety, nausea, physical symptoms, or weird health problems while smoking heavily — especially with how potent and mass-produced weed has become today — it might be worth experimenting with taking a break and really listening to your body.
This one’s messy and unfiltered.
Even Kiki makes a few appearances in the background.
But maybe that’s what makes it honest.
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.
