The AusCannaPodcast: You’re Probably Using Cannabis on Autopilot with Daniel Robinson Croft

How often do you actually stop and think about why you’re using cannabis? In this episode, Christina sits down with Daniel Robinson Croft, founder at Let’s Budvocate to explore something that doesn’t get talked about enough: the difference between intentional use and just doing what we’ve always done.Because whether it’s chasing higher THC, sticking to the same habits, or not questioning our patterns… It’s easy to fall into autopilot without even realising it.We get into:* What intentional cannabis use actually looks like 🤔* Why tolerance breaks don’t have to mean quitting cold turkey 🔄* The role of harm reduction in everyday consumption 🛠️* How stigma still shows up — even for people who use cannabis themselves 🧠* And why learning to advocate for yourself as a patient really matters 🗣️This isn’t about telling you what to do; it’s about giving you the tools to understand your own patterns and make decisions that actually work for you.If you’ve ever found yourself going through the motions with your cannabis use… this one’s worth a listen. 🎧Chapters:* Rapid Fire (2:00)* From Mental Health to Cannabis Advocacy (13:03)* Why Cannabis Education Is Broken (17:43)* Where Cannabis Stigma Comes From (19:20)* Harm Reduction (What It Actually Means) (22:15)* Tolerance Breaks Are Done Wrong (25:32)* Can You Use Cannabis Daily Intentionally?
