CannaRecovery

CannaRecovery is an online support group dedicated to fighting the stigma of harm reduction practices in recovery. Our mission is to create a safe and inclusive environment for those seeking alternative pathways. We believe connection holds power and foster this idea through meetings, fellowship, and sharing our lived experience. Together we are committed to making a positive impact in our community and carrying a message of hope, strength, and healing.

Alcohol, behaviors, and drugs other than marijuana, plant-based medicines, psychedelics, or prescription drugs. 

Secular (Pro-Use)

Many peer-led recovery communities—like GRASS or Wellbriety—develop organically among participants seeking support, without forming structured organizations with formal founding histories. Documented records about the specific history or founding timeline of the CannaRecovery organization—such as its founder(s), date of inception, and early development—as these details don’t appear to be publicly shared. CannaRecovery appears to be shaped by their collective mission rather than geographic or institutional origins.

CannaRecovery is defined primarily by its purpose—to challenge stigma around harm-reduction and create a welcoming, inclusive recovery community where cannabis (and, where relevant, Medication-Assisted Treatment) are accepted as valid paths. 

The organization functions entirely online, hosting peer-led Zoom meetings, providing a member-curated handbook, and sharing resources like crisis hotlines, MAT support, and tools like Never Use Alone.

Their guiding principles emphasize harm reduction, neutrality in belief systems, self-supporting funding, anonymity, and respect for diverse recovery journeys—suggesting a philosophy deeply rooted in peer-support traditions
