49 - My Daughter, The Plant, and the Anxiety That Followed with Kyla de Clifford and Ruby Skues.

This episode is a little more personal than usual.Today, I’m sitting down with my daughter, Ruby and we’re having a conversation I’ve been quietly avoiding for a while.Because while I spend my life educating people about the plant…Ruby had an experience that changed her relationship with it completely.We talk about:what it’s like growing up with a parent in this spacethe stigma that still exists (especially in younger years)her first experiences with cannabisand the moment everything shifted after a difficult “greening” experienceBut this isn’t just about one night.It’s about what came after the anxiety, the fear of it happening again, and how that feeling can linger long after the plant has left your system.We also explore:why edibles can hit differently (and sometimes unexpectedly)the importance of dose, timing, and environmenthow CBD can be used as a harm reduction tooland what honest, open conversations about drugs actually look like in real lifeThis episode isn’t here to convince you of anything.It’s here to show the nuance that the plant isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that education, safety, and self-awareness matter more than anything else.If you’ve ever had an experience that didn’t feel right…or you’re navigating this with your kids, your friends, or even yourself this conversation is for you.IN THIS EPISODEGrowing up around cannabis: stigma, secrecy, and shifting perspectivesFirst experiences with the plant (and expectations vs reality)What “greening out” actually feels likeHow one experience can lead to ongoing anxietyThe difference between THC and CBD (in real-life terms)Why edibles require a completely different approachHarm reduction: what we wish more people were taughtThe gap between school education and real-world drug useNavigating this as both a parent and a young adultA NOTE FROM KYLAThis one stretched me.It’s one thing to talk about the benefits of the plant it’s another to sit across from your daughter and hear how it impacted her in a way you didn’t expect.If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who might need it.You can find more conversations like this at Canna Curious — where we explore the plant with curiosity, not assumption."Send us a message"Support the showConnect with Kyla de CliffordInstagram: @cannacuriousausTikTok: @cannacuriousauYouTube: @cannacuriousIf you enjoyed this episode, please follow, share, and leave a review - it helps the podcast reach more curious minds just like you.Sovereign Creator • https://sovereigncreator.ioDisclaimer:We are not doctors, and this is not medical advice.
