In a relationship with someone who loves their weed. This is brutal but true. Thank you for the science behind the behavior. Yes. The weed will always be there…. The people you love might not be.
As someone who had an off and on relationship with a guy who kept saying this is not me every time he smoked weed. This makes so much sense now. It was his brain operating without crucial function. I knew it wasn’t him, but it still hurt. Because it was getting harder to recognize what was him and what wasn’t him. No matter how much I loved him.
Sadly, I’ve said goodbye to too many relationships when weed/alcohol entered and I realized addiction had taken over. So many possibilities destroyed. Thank you for this honest look from the eyes of those I loved
Question, how would you approach someone who is using... sending them the article? Probably too late as this person isn't in my life anymore and hasn't been for years but wondering how it would have landed.
Can you talk/write further about the fact that you recently wrote that weed helps you, and that it’s part of the harm reduction that helped you quit alcohol?
Well written article. I was once asked why I didnt get high anymore., and I told the person " I make bad decisions when im using:
I met my ex husband when I was drinking. Lol it takes some of us getting our head caved in more than others before we stop
Good article. Very informative
What an amazing and well written article. Bravo! I will share with my clients.
And the doctors are giving Rxs to people to help them keep high all the time. 😢💔
This is one of the best explanations I've read of the real impact of weed on the brain.
Cody, this is phenomenal.

Thanks for this post Cody. It really helped me as a partner of a habitual cannabis smoker.
That relationship recently broke up, for the very reasons you highlighted.
I was beginning to question myself and wondering if I could have done more.
Your post has massively reassured me. Thank you so much💜
