If you're going to be able to talk about cannabis in a way that makes sense to people who use cannabis, you've got to be able to talk in their language and give the respect to listening to what are their subjective experiences and try to find a way to bridge the gap between the objective science that we know and the subjective experience that people have.
Cannabis is a hot topic, but few discussions manage to strike a balance between science and personal experience like this one. Psychiatrist Timmen Cermak sits down to chat about his book, 'Marijuana on My Mind: The Science and Mystique of Cannabis'. If you've ever wondered how cannabis impacts the mind and body, or if you're curious about the spiritual aspects tied to its use, this episode is for you.
Cermak doesn't just rely on dry data; he delves into how cannabis interacts with our brain and nervous system, providing a nuanced look at its effects. Whether you're a casual user or someone concerned about the risks, Cermak offers sensible guidelines for safe use. He even dives into the often-overlooked endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in how our bodies respond to cannabis. But it's not all about the science.
Cermak also touches on the cultural aspects of cannabis, making it a well-rounded discussion. From genetic research to public health concerns, and even parenting tips for those navigating cannabis use in their homes, this episode covers it all. Perfect for healthcare professionals, policymakers, parents, or anyone keen on understanding cannabis better, this episode offers a comprehensive look at a complex topic.
