How Weed Became the Escape — And Then the Addiction

In this episode, I sit down with Jacob, who opens up about his powerful journey through trauma, self-discovery, and addiction. What began as an attempt to find healing through weed quickly became something much deeper — a battle with dependence and a search for true recovery.
