When he moved home from college during the pandemic, she noticed that he looked

Episode 262ABOUT THE EPISODE: Lynne’s first clue that her son might be using substances was finding a Google search: “marijuana for anxiety.” Outwardly, there was nothing particularly concerning about his behavior - at first. He had always made good grades, even as an elite athlete headed for college play. But inside, the looming life changes were causing a lot of anxiety. The first time he tried marijuana, he knew it was exactly what he had been looking for and it worked…for a while. Once he got
