About the Book

This book is not about weed.

Yes, I am a woman of God. Yes, this book is full of blunts, edibles, strains, plugs, and ashtrays. So let me be blunt. This book is about freedom.

It is about the war for your soul that gets fought in the quietest, most ordinary places. A parked car, a bedroom floor, the spaces nobody sees. The smoke is just the language. It is the bridge between where I was and the truths God pulled out of it.

I did not come to Christ cleaned up. I came with everything still attached. My habits, my wounds, my coping mechanisms, my smoke. He did not flinch. He sat with me in the haze and slowly began breathing His clarity into the corners of my life that had grown used to the dark.

God met me in the smoke, but He didn't leave me there.

My Inspiration

Go Get Them.

The inspiration for this book was simple. The Lord told me to go get them.

What He brought me out of, what He delivered me from, He is having me go back and get other people who may be sitting in similar situations. He wastes nothing. The very thing that tried to keep me bound, He is now using as the metaphor that sets other people free.
