Don't Sprinkle weed at me and run, I rather go smoke crack

What do you do when someone’s first instinct isn’t honesty, but control when even friendship, being cordial, or cohabitation gets twisted into manipulation? In this episode, Lela reveals how John weaponizes drugs, sprinkling them into situations as leverage, holding “being cool” or “being roommates” as power plays.

What should have been recreational use of marijuana becomes another manipulative tool—his way of keeping the upper hand, forcing control, and blurring boundaries. Instead of partnership, it’s a setup. Instead of trust, it’s entrapment.

Listeners will hear firsthand how drug abuse becomes more than self-destruction it becomes a form of manipulation, and how Lela resists being trapped in yet another cycle of control.

👉🏾 Trigger Warning: Drug misuse, manipulation, toxic relationships, explicit language.
