So that for us has been, honestly, the best way to approach this industry, is just to be as transparent as possible. Cannabinoids will affect the serotonin receptors, so it's very smart to talk to your physician
And this happens all over the sort of developed world as to who is going to control the supply of medicines, but also these illicit drugs, like opium. Cannabis eventually became part of that conversation, and cocaine when it was invented. All three of which Queen Victoria was quite partial to, incidentally.
age because at a certain point an ancient tree becomes Hollow it starts to Decay bits of it start to fall off the Cannabis starts to retrench and it becomes a fantastic resource for wildlife but not that great for Timber if you're looking for an ancient tree look in Estates uh
happened was really interesting in the 1980s they discovered a a system of receptors throughout the body that cannaboids respond to um however we we don't have receptors in our body to respond to substances in plants just doesn't make any sense we we don't that's not what what our bodies do
endorphins that our bodies produce and it's called opium and here's the big difference between opium and cannabis in opium there are receptors in the part of the brain cells that control the heart and the lungs which means when you take too much opium the brain starts freaking out and it shuts down those centers and then you die cannabis there
chemically um other people may have different experiences I don't know but um I think the idea that you use cannabis to go out and have a great wild time is sort of crazy actually it's it's it's a to me it's a a thing that in engenders intimacy and uh can be very obviously music tastes
And most people think of the Victorians as being uptight. Cannabis 1964, it was mapped.
That's not going to cost you a nickel. Cannan is the biblical word for what is now Long Island.
That's actually not the problem-solving algorithm at work. Cannamen proved in his studies that people value losses twice as much as the gains.
And then you see the huge trash truck come and dump it in. Because cannabis is now legal, and we have a whole cannabis area.
So the legal limit is actually 0.4% derived from the hemp plant. So cannabis sativa is the parent plant. And you get the hemp plant, and you get the cannabis and marijuana plant.
economically in some of the free states and I looked at Colorado First by the way Colorado I looked at the regulations of cannabis versus guns in Colorado Cannabis there are 228 word 228,000 words in the regulations and the gun regulations in Colorado are about 18,500
And here I am decades later. I integrate medical cannabis in my patient care. I help patients work with other physicians, work with their specialists, and integrate cannabis safely.
Sure. I can address that. So the cannabis plant is a very, very complex plant. It's a plant medicine with over 500 unique compounds.
I think a common misperception is that all CBD tinctures and oils are created the same, and it's not. It depends on the cannabinoid profile, the terpene profiles, and everything around it. The compound itself-- as they say that CBD is CBD is CBD.
But what surrounds the compound makes it very different. Are there other cannabinoids in the formulation? Are there other terpenes in that formulation?
He didn't get a full night's rest. So when he started cannabis, he started sleeping through the night. His stomach didn't upset him as much as it used to, and he felt like he was getting a life back.
So that for us has been, honestly, the best way to approach this industry, is just to be as transparent as possible. And the cannabinoid profiles or the terpene profile for those particular cases studies.
Some of the climbs were ferocious in the rain and in storms. There's also some cannabis cream that's pretty good stuff.
He then proceeds to hand the Romans the biggest military defeats that they had ever had, including one of the most lopsided victories in history, the Battle of Cannae, in 216 BCE, in which Hannibal's army defeats an enemy army that's about twice the size of his, and in which he carries out one of the gold standards of tactical achievement on the battlefield--
And one of the decisions confronting jurisdictions is do you try to put a limit on it? There are dozens of cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. THC's the one that gets most of the attention.
couldn't find the answer so my next Port of Call was to Israel because Israel has been the capital of cannabis research since 1964 um and why of course why in the
you take too much opium the brain starts freaking out and it shuts down those centers and then you die cannabis there are no cannabinoid receptors in that part of the brain stem so nothing with the heart nothing with the lungs which is why in fact no one has ever died from an overdose of canabus ever in the history of recorded time very
scientists in Mam's lab and they're doing amazing research uh one of which is uh one researcher was studying the effects of cannaboids on bone healing they found that in fact they make bones heal more quickly another one is doing research on CBD and type two diabetes which is an enormous Scourge around the
um but yet and then it goes beyond that it goes into culture when you're in places like California that that have had medical cannabis for a long time I mean you go to cocktail parties and there there are people my age and older in their 60s or or 70s even talking about different strains or how to how to
whereas you just come up with a simple formula that you know you're going to kind of like cover some bases for people. And they celebrated Bob Cannard, and then Bob Cannard-- he's a farmer there-- then he starts celebrating the farmers, and I feel like that's where we're at.
And his parents brought him in because one day he told his parents that he got some cannabis from a friend. And he started using the cannabis, and remarkably, he stopped running to the bathroom. He was able to sleep through the night.
So there's a pen, which is Beboe. Beboe is also the Hermés of cannabis. Laura Jones is there too as a gummy.
So that for us has been, honestly, the best way to approach this industry, is just to be as transparent as possible. But if you just look at cannabis, so you're looking at all the cannabinoids, including THC, there's a 9% dependence rate, which is the same as caffeine,
And now you have this third generation of kids on the street who have only been socialized in the norms of the drug war. They have several states which legally regulated cannabis for adult use.
And now you have this third generation of kids on the street who have only been socialized in the norms of the drug war. Canada has just legally regulated cannabis for adult use right across the whole country.
a lot about us. And I wrote a little bit about cannabis and botany of desire, and I wrote a long piece about growing opium in my garden back in the '90s.
And that's actually what's being debated in Vermont. You could also potentially have cannabis buyers clubs or cooperatives. This is what they're doing in Spain.
1964 um and why of course why in the 1960s the US US Government scheduled cannabis as a schedule one drug classified as schedule one drug which means it's has no medical benefit and is highly addictive the main problem with
break your arm you know the body sends all sorts of chemicals blood lymphoid white blood cells to protect that area what's happening is the receptor the cannabinoid receptors here are signaling to the brain it's like the emergency broadcast system we're in trouble help us
chemical reason for that and I certainly had no idea of why those things are true um and it was extremely fascinating to think about but cannabis is more than that even and if you look at um what's happening in America right now it's it's it's really interesting um we're on the precipice of
doing a great job by the way but look at the economics for a second Colorado last year sold $1 billion they made $1 billion in revenue of medical and recreational Cannabis that yielded $1 135 million in taxes which was $35 million more than they had anticipated
reporting Brave New World said to me you know I don't think that the Garden of Eden was an apple tree that Eve sampled she said I think it was a cannabis Bush and I said oh yeah why is that she said well think about it you get thrown out of Eden it's rough out there you know you suddenly have to you got to deal with the environment you've got to deal
dealers are now considered dispensaries um can you talk about that shift that or the trend that you think we're kind of seeing um around cannabis and weed in general yeah it's called normalization it's called taking something that has been vilified and made illegal and stigmatized and
and now our generation might have um have a new sentiment about it due to the branding or what cor corporations are now how they're branding cannabis um what do you think we could be doing as a society to kind of to make this movement more powerful or how can we drive it uh vote I mean if you live in any of the
thought because it's it's a it's a gentler plant we will have standards at a certain point someone will figure out how to make standards of of cannabinoids just as they have with alcohol so we know we don't do any math we know a shot is equal to a 6 ounce glass of wine is equal to a 12 ounce bottle of beer right
California um you know postmed talking about weed strange of cocktail parties and stuff I grew up in California it's sure I think Mar I think cannabis is is quite unique I think it's very swet swet generous and there's not much like it
Today, the first thing that I do is actually screen them for behaviors that are linked to ingestion of high-dopamine rewards, like video games, social media, pornography, cannabis, alcohol, all different kinds of drugs, including prescription drugs. And when I detect that an individual is consuming large amounts with high frequency, especially daily, then I usually recommend an intervention that involves
In my case, it's romance novel. Somebody else, it's cannabis. Somebody else, it's alcohol.
So then the question becomes, OK, am I going to continue to abstain or I'm going to go back to using pornography, video games, cannabis, alcohol, whatever it is. And the key when going back to using is to make a detailed plan.
It also helps decrease anxiety and uplift your mood. So it's a really safe part of the cannabis plant without altering your mind or making you feel sedated or euphoric. Amazing. So I'm curious-- Wendy, I went to visit you at Artemis after seeing that you stocked Potli.
Perfect. So when do-- you are the owner of the first woman-owned, minority-owned CBD shop here in New York. Historically in America, cannabis criminalization has led to incarceration for many Americans. Mainstream sentiment has really started to embrace marijuana, in particular CBD, into everyday lifestyle products.
I think that's a great start, but I honestly think that's just not enough. Studies have shown that white Americans take and enjoy cannabis as much as people of color, but the incarceration numbers, the possibility to lose your employment, housing, that does not add up to those numbers.
Yeah. The biggest misconception that I come across is, because CBD is derived from the marijuana plant, the cannabis plant, and also hemp, patients always ask me, can I get addicted to CBD? Is there a dependence?
So that for us has been, honestly, the best way to approach this industry, is just to be as transparent as possible. in your daily work related to CBD or cannabis and health?
