When your loved one turns to marijuana after recovering from harder substances, it can stir up a whirlwind of questions. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', the hosts tackle this very issue, prompted by a listener concerned about their son's marijuana use. Is it a step backward or a manageable part of his recovery?

They look at the young man's overall well-being, his ability to connect with others, and how well he's communicating. The hosts emphasize the power of open dialogue, positive reinforcement, and the crucial role of community support. They explore how to help someone understand their own substance use without jumping to conclusions. Whether you're grappling with similar concerns or just curious about the nuances of marijuana in recovery, this episode offers thoughtful perspectives and practical advice.
