In this episode of The Rabbi & the Therapist, the conversation delves into the controversial topic of cannabis use and addiction. With cannabis shops popping up everywhere, it’s easy to believe it’s harmless, but is that truly the case?
The discussion opens by sharing alarming data from countries like the Netherlands, linking long-term cannabis use to severe conditions like schizophrenia and a lack of motivation. From the rabbinic perspective, Rabbi Shea grapples with the moral implications, questioning why more religious leaders haven’t openly condemned it. As cannabis becomes more widespread, both hosts raise a crucial point: how can we prevent people from going down a path that seems so harmless but can have life-altering consequences?
This episode challenges common perceptions and offers a fresh perspective on the deeper issues behind cannabis use, making it a must-listen for anyone curious about the topic.

that they found some of the hallucinogenic compound of marijuana, can’t remember what it’s called, in cbd oil that was being sold. which wasn’t supposed to be in there. it was accidentally in the oil. even cbd oil is unsafe.
Emotional abuse
There is another side of cannabis if used correctly. My life long insomnia is gone. I have never increased the dose and only take it at night. For pain, it’s better than opiates as my drs agree. Under 21 when brains are developing and young people don’t always have good judgement, I agree. Dont make broad statements. Adults use of controlled cannabis can be extremely helpful.
brains are developing long after 21
That is your opinion, and you are making a broad statement.
It is not always helpful, even for adults, and it kills brain cells even in adults
I’m a little skeptical about this episode too, because I’ve seen a lot of propaganda and counter-propaganda pushing for both ways; that either there’s been a decades long smear campaign about Marijuana or that it’s really not as safe as the counter culture was telling us. I think it really does affect different people very differently… which is why you always gotta have a doctor you can trust and you have to be very aware kind of weed you’re smoking and how it’s making you feel.
for how somebody can heal their brain if they don’t use hallucinogens anymore.
Thank you for the great episode! May I put in a request for a follow up episode directed at adults who’s already formed an addiction… TIA & God bless!
