Ever wondered why our culture swings so hard between cocktails, cannabis, and “California sober” trends? This episode of Girls Gone Gritty unpacks the real conversations people are having, but rarely out loud, about alcohol, THC, CBD, responsibility, and how much of it is tied to stress, identity, and shifting generational norms.Jen and Farley open up about post-holiday overwhelm, family emotional hangovers, and how alcohol intensifies everything, from anxiety to exhaustion. From there, they break down why drinking culture feels different today, why Gen Z is stepping away from booze, and how cannabis products have exploded into the mainstream. You’ll hear honest takes on safety, moderation, the emotional reasons people “take the edge off,” and the surprising ways THC helped a family member battling cancer.The hosts don’t shy away from the hard stuff either, like packaging that appeals to kids, hidden potencies, SCROMEDY (yes, that’s real), and why both alcohol and cannabis require serious self-awareness.They wrap with reminders to stay responsible, stay hydrated, and stay informed because knowing how these substances affect your mood, sleep, energy, and habits can change everything.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:50) Post-holiday exhaustion, alcohol anxiety, and emotional hangovers(3:02) New holiday traditions and consumption awareness(4:59) This week’s “Top Three” headlines(7:03) The rise of drinking culture and its impact(7:56) Gen Z swapping alcohol for cannabis(9:01) Cannabis stereotypes and early life experiences(10:14) Legalization, stigma, and shifting norms(12:10) Why adults use THC vs. alcohol(13:49) How low-dose THC beverages affect mood(15:10) Driving, safety, and the Uber reminder(16:01) CBD vs THC explained simply(17:17) Personal experiences with medical cannabis(18:39) Alcohol highs vs. THC highs(19:53) Potency, edibles, seltzers, and hidden risks(21:00) Keeping THC away from kids and teens(22:02) Trend shifts post-COVID(23:33) Economics, health, and generational shifts(24:47) Alcoholism, addiction, and SCROMEDY(26:07) Pros and cons of THC, CBD, and alcohol(33:00) Big alcohol vs. cannabis industry changes(34:04) Moderation, health benefits, and medical approvals(35:27) Gratitude for listeners + Got Grit award(37:35) Song of the week + hydration reminder(38:20) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty
