EP 462 - Marijuana Didn’t Ruin Your Life, It Just Kept You Stuck. Numbing Isn’t Healing.
Thu Feb 05 2026
Marijuana doesn’t ruin most people’s lives. It just makes staying the same feel comfortable.
In this episode, we take an honest look at marijuana as a coping tool and how something that helps you relax, numb out, or get through hard days can quietly turn into the thing that keeps you stuck.
This isn’t an anti-weed conversation. It’s a real one that you may need to have with yourself. We talk about why weed feels like it helps, how it lowers emotional urgency, and why relief without resolution can delay real change. When you use marijuana to cope with stress, anxiety, boredom, or dissatisfaction, you often stop listening to the very signals meant to push you toward growth.
We’ll discuss the difference between coping and avoiding. How weed mutes emotions instead of helping you process them. Why comfort can quietly block motivation and progress the lies you tell yourself about relaxation, creativity, and “deserving it”. What actually happens when you stop using weed to cope and why discomfort isn’t a problem.
This episode is for anyone who feels “fine” on the surface, but knows something deeper isn’t changing. If you’ve ever wondered whether marijuana is helping you heal or just helping you tolerate a life you’ve outgrown this conversation is for you.
xoxo,
Jeannet
