Marijuana Addiction: Psychosis, Delusion, and the Fight to Get Sober | MMA Fighter/Coach Kyle

Marijuana is often framed as harmless. Non-addictive. Even medicinal.But for some people, chronic use can lead to addiction, psychosis, delusions, hallucinations, and suicidal ideation—and those risks are still widely misunderstood.In this episode of A Beautiful Rebellion, Linsey Dara sits down with an MMA fighter and coach who tried to quit marijuana over 100 times before finally getting sober.Together, they talk openly about: • How marijuana addiction actually develops • The link between heavy or prolonged use and psychosis, paranoia, and delusional thinking • Experiencing hallucinations and suicidal ideation • Why “it’s just weed” kept him trapped for years • The mental battle of trying—and failing—to quit repeatedly • What finally made sobriety stick • And why honesty about cannabis matters, especially for young people and high-performersThis conversation isn’t anti-marijuana—and it isn’t fear-based.It’s about telling the full truth, breaking denial, and making space for people whose experience doesn’t match the cultural narrative.If you’ve ever struggled to stop, wondered if weed is affecting your mental health, or felt alone in something no one talks about—this episode is for you.
