Rosanna Pansino Smoked Her Dad's Ashes, Faces Backlash

YouTuber, entrepreneur, TV Host, executive producer, baker and New York Times Best Selling Author, Rosanna Pansino recently opened up about a moment of catharsis that has captivated her fans and sparked conversation. On her new podcast, Rodiculous, Rosanna Pansino revealed that she smoked her dads ashes. The immediate head jerk reaction could be expected.

Pansino revealed that after the loss of her father, she found herself struggling to cope with the intense sorrow that followed during her mourning process. She shared that she chose to honor him by using his ashes in a way that most would never expect—by combining them with cannabis, an act that she believed would help her connect with her father in a deeper, more spiritual way. This decision has raised eyebrows, but it also brings to light the way many people approach grief and healing in their own unique ways.

Rosanna shared all this on her first podcast episode, which she titled, “Smoking My Dead Dad.”

Rosanna’s vulnerability and willingness to talk openly about her experience offers fans and social media users a chance to rethink what it means to process loss and how different rituals, even unconventional ones, can help provide solace. The story goes beyond just the shock value—it’s about breaking the stigma around how we grieve, and how unconventional healing methods, like using cannabis in such a personal way, can offer comfort to those struggling with loss.

Rosanna’s journey is a testament to finding peace on your own terms, and it resonates with readers who are searching for stories of strength, healing, and self-discovery.

Still some fans were not here for the revelation and they quickly took to social media to share their disapproval.

I’m sorry even if it’s his dying wish that’s just weird

She didn’t smoke her dad’s ashes directly. She grew the plant using the ashes as part of the “fertilizer” for the plant and smoked the plant.

Rosanna has since replied to fans questioning her choice, explaining that she, “did not roll my dad’s ashes into a joint and smoke them. You should never smoke ashes directly” The clarification was helpful for those who didn’t understand what she was trying to say.

Thanks for the support on my first ever Podcast episode, @dramaalert!

Just a quick Correction: I did not roll my dad’s ashes into a joint and smoke them. You should never smoke ashes directly.

My fathers ashes were mixed into soil in which a cannabis plant was grown. I smoked… https://t.co/FGlQZE2TnE
