In this episode, I sit down with my good friend, Weston Judd. Weston and I discuss substance use and how its prevalence and perception have changed in our culture over time. We talk about what factors lead individuals to use substances at a high rate, and why we feel the need to numb and escape certain emotions. We relate this to pornography use and seeking validation from friends and romantic partners. We discuss healthier alternatives that lead to long-term rather than short term solutions.
