The episode delves into Alex Cooper's extensive personal history with cannabis, beginning with her first high school experiences and the awkwardness of learning to use a bong. She recounts how her relationship with cannabis evolved through different boyfriends and the challenges of maintaining a tolerance while participating in D1 college athletics, where drug testing was a concern.

Cooper elaborates on the impact of cannabis on her sex life, describing it as an amplifier of sensations and a way to become more present in intimate moments. She shares how her creative process, particularly early in the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, was influenced by her experiences while high, allowing her to be more attuned to details and sensations. The host also discusses her current routine, preferring nighttime use for relaxation and creative thinking, and her preference for smoking alone or with her partner, though she notes she can now be more social with it due to increased tolerance.
The conversation extends to broader societal implications, with Cooper noting the increasing legalization and social acceptability of cannabis, which she views positively as reducing stigma. She shares a memorable experience visiting a dispensary in Seattle and the surreal feeling of shopping for cannabis legally. The episode also touches upon themes of self-love, relationships, fame, and the nature of song lyrics, all framed within a casual, conversational tone often punctuated by moments of cannabis consumption.
