Episode Description
- Sasha Carr was raised by her father alone after her mother left when she was a baby, creating a unique upbringing where a 20-year-old male raised a female child.
- Her father was raised in an abusive, emotionless household which influenced how he raised Sasha, training her not to show emotion and lacking compassion in their relationship.
- After her father died of colon cancer in 2016, Sasha entered a destructive cycle of binge eating and taking handfuls of Tylenol PM to sleep because she didn't know how to process emotions.
- When Sasha visited her primary care physician for depression and sleep issues, she rejected the prescribed antidepressants and sleeping pills, choosing to explore natural holistic approaches instead.
- Cannabis entered Sasha's life when someone offered her a joint, and it helped her express emotions comfortably for the first time, calming the internal storm and enabling her to connect with people.
- Cannabis helped soften the edges of pain rather than dull it, allowing Sasha to experience and work through negative emotions instead of hiding them.
- Sasha taught herself to decarboxylate cannabis and make edibles, Rick Simpson oil, and other products, later attending St. Louis University's Cannabis Science Program where much of the curriculum she had already self-taught.
- Since Sasha had no friends who used cannabis, she created a local Nashville Facebook group for cannabis users that grew so large she eventually sold it, building a community from scratch.
- Women between ages 35 and 50 are becoming primary cannabis users for emotional regulation and trauma healing, taking control of their mental health with natural alternatives.
- Cannabis serves as a spiritual ally and meditation enhancer for Sasha, helping shut down her brain and achieve the calmness that meditation provides.
- For people experiencing deep loss, Sasha emphasizes they are not alone and can find welcoming cannabis communities through simple searches, even on platforms like TikTok.
- Sasha's father, who worked as a psychiatric RN, told her he felt like "a legal drug pusher" rather than someone helping people, which gives meaning to her natural healing approach.
