In the fourth grade, Paulina Pinsky was cast as Miss Piggy on Ice. At eight, she was praying to Elvis before skating competitions. By her twenties, she was smoking weed every day and telling everyone it was medicine.
Now she’s almost five years sober, writes the Substack newsletters Newly Sober and Process Over Product, and she’s our newest Sober Curator contributor, bringing something we haven’t covered enough: marijuana addiction. Alysse and Tamar talk with her about Muppets, Graceland, and the rhetoric that kept her high.
