Cannabis and Sobriety: Tawny Lara's Journey with Plant Medicine

Plant medicine can be one more tool in the sobriety toolbox. There is no shame in the medicine game, plant-based or otherwise!
Tawny Lara opens up about a unique aspect of her recovery journey in this episode of 'Recovery Rocks'. When her anxiety reached an all-time high, she faced a tough choice: increase her antidepressant dosage or add Xanax to her regimen. Neither option felt right, so she turned to plant medicine. Now, under the careful guidance of her general physician, a cannabis doctor, and her therapist, Tawny microdoses cannabis to manage her symptoms.
This episode dives into the concept of 'California sober', where individuals abstain from alcohol but may use other substances like cannabis. Tawny discusses how this approach fits into her broader recovery toolbox and emphasizes the importance of personalized care. The conversation also explores the relationship between cannabis and mental health, highlighting both the benefits and potential drawbacks. With a supportive network and professional advice, Tawny navigates this challenging time with a new tool in her arsenal.
For those curious about alternative recovery methods, this episode offers a candid look at one woman's journey with plant medicine. Plus, don't miss the Music Minute featuring tracks from Bleachers, Diana Ross, and The Beatles.
