The Johnston children from 7 Little Johnstons have grown up before their fans’ eyes, with most of them now adults leading their own lives. However, Amber and Trent still show a keen interest in staying updated on their children’s lives. Despite their best efforts, there are times when someone can slip through the cracks, and this was the case with Jonah.
Amber and Trent have always been diligent parents to all their kids, but somehow Jonah found himself “trying” a drug. Although this incident is from the past, and the 7 Little Johnstons star is now clean, he believes that the drug had lasting effects on his life.
Jonah had a distressing experience with a drug, which he promptly informed his parents about in 2021. He suspected that someone might have tampered with his drink, as he felt strange. It was later revealed that he had unknowingly consumed Delta 8, a synthetic variant of cannabis. Jonah had initially believed it to be a “legal drug,” but that turned out not to be the case. However, he has since overcome his struggles and is now drug-free. In an interview, Amber mentioned that the incident was a one-time occurrence and explained that Jonah was dealing with severe anxiety at the time. Both Trent and Amber have denied the rumors of Jonah’s substance abuse.
Jonah himself has opened up about the incident, describing it as a “dangerous” experience. He has made the decision to stay away from drugs from now on. However, that doesn’t mean there are no consequences. Jonah may still be facing some mental health issues as a result of his encounter with Delta 8. Nevertheless, he has found healthier ways to cope with it.
The 7 Little Johnstons star has discovered a passion that brings him joy and occupies his mind. During a lunch with his sisters, Jonah spoke about his mental health and revealed his newfound love for barbecue and smoking meat. Engaging in this activity takes him to a “happy place,” and he hadn’t realized how helpful it would be until now. Jonah’s sister Liz expressed her happiness that he is staying on a positive path.
While Jonah acknowledges the challenges he has faced, it is evident that he is actively seeking healthier outlets and focusing on his well-being. Fans of 7 Little Johnstons continue to support him on his journey, cheering for his continued growth and happiness.
