Breaking the Stigma: Personal Stories of Herb in Everyday Life
For generations, herb has been misunderstood, misrepresented, and often judged. But times are changing—and so are the conversations. At Get Bak’d, we believe in giving voice to the truth: that herb is not a vice, but a vehicle for wellness, identity, and connection.
This post is dedicated to those who live unapologetically, those who use herb as a tool for healing, creativity, and clarity. These are their stories. Raw. Real. Relatable.

Jazmine, 32 — “Herb Helped Me Reclaim My Peace”
After years of battling anxiety and prescription side effects, Jazmine turned to CBD and low-THC cannabis to restore balance.
“I started with CBD tea in the evenings. Over time, I realized I was sleeping better, waking up lighter. Herb didn’t numb me—it helped me be present again.”
Today, Jazmine is a yoga instructor and mental wellness advocate who proudly wears Get Bak’d gear during her community sessions.

Marcus, 26 — “I’m a Creator. Herb Fuels That.”
As a digital artist, Marcus found his spark through music, art, and herb. For him, it’s not about escapism—it’s about expansion.
“People assume it makes you lazy. But for me, a microdose unlocks flow. I lose track of time—in the best way. My best pieces were born under the influence of clarity.”
He credits cannabis with helping him manage ADHD and connect deeper to his own voice as a Black creative.

Sofia, 41 — “Cannabis Is Family Medicine for Us”
For Sofia, herb isn’t just personal—it’s cultural. Growing up in a Latinx household, cannabis was both taboo and tradition.
“My abuela used herb-infused oils for joint pain. She never called it cannabis—it was just part of our healing.”
Today, Sofia blends tradition with advocacy, educating others about the natural benefits of herb and wearing her beliefs proudly in Get Bak’d’s eco-conscious fashion.

Dylan, 29 — “It Helped Me Come Out. To Myself.”
Dylan describes cannabis as a “mirror”—something that helped him process his emotions and step into his identity as a queer man.
“It quieted the noise. Allowed me to feel without judgment. It’s strange to say, but herb helped me accept myself.”
Now a counselor and speaker, Dylan uses his platform to normalize herb as a part of emotional and spiritual healing.

Changing the Conversation, One Story at a Time
Each of these voices proves what we already know: herb culture is human culture. It’s not about stereotypes. It’s about:
• Healing naturally
• Expressing yourself without fear
• Breaking cycles of stigma
• Living your truth
And that’s exactly what Get Bak’d stands for.
