Breaking a long-term habit is rarely a linear journey, and for those navigating the murky waters of substance dependency, the first step is often the steepest. Bella Rose, the digital creator known to millions as OnlyJayus—who utilizes they, her, and him pronouns—recently pulled back the curtain on a decade-long relationship with marijuana. In a candid reflection on their sobriety journey, Rose is challenging the cultural narrative that cannabis carries no addictive weight.
For years, a pervasive social script has suggested that marijuana is a “soft” substance, easily set aside. Rose, however, is pushing back against that consensus with the authority of someone who lived it.
“No matter what anyone tries to say or tell you to convince themselves… it is [addictive],” Rose stated bluntly. After ten years of daily use, the creator reached a breaking point, realizing the drug had woven itself into the very fabric of their daily existence, bringing with it a host of negative consequences they could no longer ignore. “After ten years of smoking, I’ve finally been able to acknowledge this and decide that it’s time for me to stop.”
