Cannabis is often labeled as harmless—but is it really? In this episode, we take a science-based look at marijuana use and explore when, why, and how it can start doing more harm than good. From brain chemistry and motivation to mental health, sleep, memory, and long-term dependence, we break down what research actually says about frequent weed use. 
We discuss how cannabis affects dopamine, productivity, emotional regulation, and anxiety, why quitting can be harder than expected, and what withdrawal really feels like. This episode also examines who is most at risk, how tolerance quietly builds, and why “everyone’s doing it” isn’t a reliable measure of safety.
This is not a moral lecture—it’s an honest conversation about health, habits, and making informed choices in a world where weed is increasingly normalized.
