Cannabis for Pain: Beyond the Smoke and Mirrors

In Search of an Argument

Join us as we welcome back Dr. Joanna Zeiger, an Olympian, cannabis epidemiologist and author of The Champion Mindset. In this episode, Joanna shares her journey navigating chronic pain after a serious bike accident, leading her into the world of cannabis research. We delve into the science behind cannabis, its potential in reducing pain and suffering, and the regulatory challenges that make research so complex.

Expect candid conversations about the misconceptions surrounding cannabis, from the evolution of anti-doping rules for athletes to the frustrating hurdles of U.S. cannabis regulations. Joanna's own story—how an unexpectedly strong cannabis patch gave her more than she bargained for—is both enlightening and hilariously humbling.

We also debate whether cannabis is really safer than your favorite beer, muse over Snoop Dogg's surprise Olympic presence and wrap it all up with a little election trivia that’ll surprise even the most dedicated political buffs.
