What happens when veterans turn to medical cannabis after conventional treatments leave them exhausted, foggy or still unable to sleep?Former Canadian Armed Forces medics Natalie Forcier and Rob Sipes share how PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety, nightmares and service-related injuries shaped their journeys with medicinal cannabis.Together with cannabis nurse Kala Knudslien, Natalie and Rob discuss administration routes like cannabis gummies, oils, creams and other non-inhaled products. Then they get into how various cannabinoids like CBD, CBN, CBG and lower-dose THC, cannabis tolerance effect their individualized care. Natalie also explains how non-intoxicating cannabis topicals can help cautious veterans and first responders reconsider medical cannabis as a pain-management option.The conversation also examines Veterans Affairs Canada cannabis coverage, including the three-gram daily limit, reimbursement reductions and the widening gap between recreational and medical cannabis prices. It raises important questions about access, veteran advocacy and whether commercial interests are influencing Canada's medical cannabis system.Listen now to hear two veterans speak candidly about PTSD, sleep, pain, cannabis education and the struggle to access the care and benefits they earned through service.

The Reality of CHS and the 1,100+ Patient Study Dr. Peterson highlights the scope of his landmark survey, which gathered data from 1,134 CHS sufferers. The study reveals that CHS is not an acute reaction to a single session, but rather a chronic, low-level dysregulation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) that predominantly impacts heavy, long-term consumers. Frequency of Use: 96.5% of study participants consumed cannabis daily, and 45% consumed more than six times per day. The "Buoy" Metaphor: Dr. Peterson explains the ECS as a master regulatory buoy. While occasional cannabis use gently nudges the buoy, chronic high-dose THC overstimulation completely knocks it over, triggering the cyclical vomiting state. Vapes vs. Flower: The Onset Timeline One of the most significant findings of the paper is how the method of inhalation changes how quickly CHS develops. Vaporizing: Exclusive vapers reported symptoms starting within 1 to 2 years of beginning use. Smoking Flower: Flower smokers took significantly longer to develop CHS, with the most common timeline being 10 years or more. Debunking the Pesticide and Neem Oil Myths A popular theory in the cannabis community is that CHS is actually pesticide or neem oil poisoning. Dr. Peterson challenges this theory using clinical toxicology: The Sourcing Data: Sufferers in the study reported identical CHS symptoms regardless of whether they got their weed from licensed dispensaries, illicit sources, or their own pesticide-free home grows. Neem Oil Toxicity: Ingesting neem oil causes immediate nausea, alongside severe clinical signs like liver damage, seizures, and brain swelling—none of which are observed in CHS patients. Pesticide Toxidromes: Known pesticide exposures (like organophosphates) present with highly specific chemical "toxidromes" that look nothing like cyclical vomiting. Gender Differences in Symptom Severity The study revealed a stark contrast in how CHS manifests between sexes: Men: Frequently reported shorter hyperemetic episodes, often lasting only 1 day. Women: Suffered statistically longer and more severe episodes, with the most common duration being 3 to 5 days, and over 10% suffering for 10 or more days of continuous vomiting. Recognizing the Prodrome and Navigating Recovery The Prodrome Phase: This early warning phase involves morning nausea, abdominal pain, heartburn, and hot/cold flashes. It can linger in the background for years before a full vomiting episode occurs. The Path to Healing: While the clinical textbook demands absolute abstinence, Dr. Peterson shares real-world data showing how patients actually navigate recovery, the limitations of hot baths as temporary relief, and the potential future role of minor cannabinoids like CBG for harm reduction.

In this episode of The Consult Room, I explore a topic popping up all over our social feeds: CBD and CBG products for pets.Marketed for everything from arthritis to anxiety, these products are either seen as a healthcare revolution or expensive hype. But what does science actually say? In this episode, I step back from the noise to look at how cannabinoids interact with the animal body, the confusing UK legal landscape, and where the research is genuinely promising. Most importantly, I address the gap between consumer demand and scientific reality - particularly when it comes to pet anxiety.While there is exciting potential on the horizon, the unregulated market requires pet owners and vets to approach these products with a healthy dose of caution.In This EpisodeWhat CBD and CBG actually are, and how they differ from THCHow cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid systemWhy the strongest evidence supports treating arthritis and chronic pain, not anxietyThe nuanced research surrounding CBD use in canine epilepsyThe distinct lack of veterinary data supporting the rise of CBGPotential side effects and the critical need for veterinary oversightThe widespread issues regarding product quality and label accuracyThe complex UK legal position and the stance of the VMDKey TakeawaysAnecdotes are not evidence: Personal success stories do not equal scientific proof.Demand outpaces the science: Marketing for pet anxiety is massive, but the clinical data remains highly inconsistent.Label accuracy is a major hurdle: Many products do not contain what they claim, and some even contain psychoactive THC."Natural" does not mean safe: Potential side effects and drug interactions mean professional veterinary guidance is essential.Good medicine demands balance: We shouldn't dismiss cannabinoids outright, but curiosity must be paired with caution.
I was scanning Facebook this morning and came upon a post about building a CBG neck with an integrated fretboard. Here is the post (name withheld) "Question for the brains trust I normally make my necks from a piece of timber with another thin piece with pre rounded edge glued to the top as a fret board. My question is, is it really necessary our can I simply round off the single piece then cut in and fit frets." What a great question. I had some thoughts about ways to do it and where you can see videos about it to help if you have the same question. Here is Del doing what he does best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdnUk7CvMag The incredible Mike Snowden at 13:34 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDrCtp7c118&list=WL&index=29 Check out CBGs AUS here https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1GTSMAVqop/ You can see what I'm up to at www.birdwoodguitars.com Order KILLER STRINGS at Australia - www.killerstringsaustralia.com USA - www.killerstrings.com Thanks to all who are supporting the podcast and The CBG Builder Group https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1LQ5ffdhw3/ See you next time Adam.

If you train four to five days a week and still feel out of control around food, this is not a mindset problem. It is a fueling problem. And nobody in the fitness space is telling you that.In this video we break down why the standard advice around having a healthy relationship with food completely fails athletes. The fitness industry has been selling discipline and guilt removal as nutrition strategy. It is not. The real issue is that most hard training athletes are chronically under-fueled and their body is responding exactly the way it is supposed to.What we cover in this video:Why chasing perfect eating is destroying your relationship with foodWhat a healthy relationship with food actually looks like for someone training hardWhy discipline alone will never fix an under-fueling problemHow diet culture is the single biggest reason athletes look the same year after yearWhat changes when you start eating in a way that actually matches your trainingBook a free call with the CBG team: https://cbgonlinenutritioncoaching.com/application-ytFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cbgnutritionIf this is the way you want to approach your nutrition, subscribe so you never miss what we put out every week.#athletenutrition #functionalfitness #nutritioncoaching #bodyrecomp #healthyrelationshipwithfood #nomacrotracking #underfueling #cbgnutrition #consistencybreedsgrowth #eatforperformance

This week we sparked up Black Maple from Dragonfly, and right out of the jar… yeah, the name tracks.Dark, sweet, maple syrup vibes. Not the fake pancake syrup from childhood. We're talking the thick, rich, Costco real-maple kind that makes you question every breakfast decision you've made before now.Black Maple comes in as a true hybrid bred from Dulce de Uva x Sherbanger, and this one hit interesting.For us, the effects came on pretty head-first. Forehead, temples, behind the eyes, that “okay I definitely feel this” pressure, but without tipping into couch-lock territory. It had some lift thanks to the pinene presence, but didn't fully commit to being an energetic daytime strain either.Basically? It lives in that weird middle ground.Top terpenes:Beta-CaryophylleneLimoneneAlpha-PineneBeta-PineneCannabinoid profile included trace amounts of:Delta-9 THC, THCV-A, CBG, CBC-A, CBD-A, and CBG-ATranslation? More going on than just “big THC number go brrrr.”And honestly… that became part of the conversation.Because somewhere in this episode we started talking about how chasing the highest THC is still one of the dumbest shopping habits in cannabis.Black Maple wasn't bad. Not even close.It looked great.Smelled fantastic.Flavor was solid.Effects got better as it settled in.But compared to some strain combos we've mixed lately? It felt like this one might actually shine more as a pairing strain than a solo act.Which led us down a whole rabbit hole of cannabis blending, terp stacking, entourage effect conversations, and whether more people should be intentionally mixing strains instead of always hunting the newest hype jar.Best reported tendencies from this one?HappyRelaxedFocusedMild pain reliefWould we smoke it again? Yeah.Would we reach for it over some of our favorite custom combos? Probably not.But if you've had Black Maple from a different grower or batch, your mileage may absolutely vary because cannabis is wildly batch-dependent.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.Find everything in one place here:

Purpose of the conversation: Ian Jessop continues his interview with Robin Swan of Swan Apothecary, covering product safety, scams in the cannabis market, success stories, and how cannabis supports cancer treatment. "Backyard alchemists" defined as home cannabis producers ranging from passionate plant medicine enthusiasts to dangerous unregulated sellers; once selling to hundreds online, safe handling protocols and regulatory compliance become non-negotiable. Scammers targeting desperately ill patients via Facebook and Instagram DMs are rampant in the unregulated cannabis market, often collecting thousands of dollars before disappearing. Robin Swan stresses lab testing as essential—third-party labs verify both potency and contamination levels; buyers should call the lab directly to confirm it is a real, legitimate facility. Swan Apothecary ships to the US, Canada, UK, Scotland, and Ireland; its 30,000 clients have all come through word-of-mouth and podcast appearances due to advertising restrictions on cannabis businesses. Of Swan Apothecary's 47 products, most are CBD, CBG, and CBC-focused with only trace THC; flagship product Fire Kitty—infused with frankincense, myrrh, calendula, cinnamon, rosemary, and cannabinoids—tests below 1% THC and is used for neuropathy, seizures, and arthritis. Education is Robin's primary tool against scammers; an informed consumer is far less likely to be defrauded, and she positions herself as an advocate for consumer protection in the cannabis space. A 2015 leukemia case at St. Jude's: a three-year-old's improvement on Swan Apothecary cannabis oil prompted her mother to arrange a live speakerphone call between Robin and a room of oncologists; the girl, now 14–15, is in remission and has become a backyard herbalist herself. A second pediatric case involved a two-year-old with an ocular tumor at Rady's Children's Hospital; suppositories made from cartel-sourced "El Chapo" flower (200 mg THC, 600 mg CBN per gram) caused the tumor to reduce and the eye to retract for hours at a time—the child outlived her prognosis by 18 months and visited Disneyland. A pivotal 2009 case involving a power company executive named Lisa: two grams of cannabis oil administered over 12–14 hours stopped an active brain bleed, moved her out of the ICU, and gave her 30 more days of life—this experience cemented Robin's unconditional commitment to the plant. Cannabis plays well alongside most chemotherapy (except immunotherapy), acting as a protective shield that helps target chemo more precisely and reduces damage to surrounding cells and organs, which is why patients using it report fewer side effects. Fire Kitty applied before and after chemo infusions, combined with a light soup-based diet for two to three days prior and a high-fat, high-protein meal immediately after the session, is recommended to reduce chemo-related neuropathy and sickness.

Welcome to the show! Thank you for supporting the show by listening and sharing it with your friends. This week Joe Oltean from Clutch Creations and I (Adam Harrison) discuss our feelings about the use of AI as a tool for promoting and building cigar box guitars. Does AI have a place in CBG building or does it go against the ethos of everything we do. We also talk about the use of CNC machines to mass produce parts and even instruments. Is there a place for these tools in our hobby? Obviously this is a divisive issue. CNC has been around for a very long time and is used widely in the production of musical instruments at a commercial level. Joe makes a good point that the level of accuracy and consistency is wholly dependant upon the skill of the operator whereas AI is 'dumbing down' society as a whole.

On this episode, Dr. Riley Kirk welcomes Dr. Emily Gogol to the Bioactive Podcast to discuss the science, cultivation, and accessibility of cannabis from both a research and real-world growing perspective. Drawing from her background in biomedical science and her work leading Infinite Tree and Grow It From Home, Emily shares her journey from infectious disease research into cannabis farming, and how she applies data-driven methods to breeding, field trials, and terpene selection. They explore the process of developing stable, uniform cannabis genetics, the role of sensory evaluation (“the nose”) in selecting cultivars, and the importance of simplifying cannabis cultivation for home growers. The conversation also dives into practical growing techniques, including seed starting, drying and curing methods, and how to assess plant health and readiness. They discuss common challenges growers face, from germination myths and hermaphrodite stress to the differences between indoor and outdoor genetics. Additionally, they explore the evolving landscape of cannabis access, including home growing, seed distribution, and the impact of hemp regulations on small businesses and patients. The dialogue further highlights DIY approaches to cannabis as medicine, cannabinoid differences such as CBD, THC, and CBG, and the importance of education in empowering growers. Finally, they touch on the broader vision of making cannabis cultivation more approachable, sustainable, and accessible to communities nationwide. This is a conversation for anyone who wants to better understand the science behind cannabis cultivation, explore practical growing techniques, and gain the confidence to approach cannabis as both a plant and a tool for self-sufficiency.

Key Points Cannabis Health Radio podcast interview with Robin Swan of Swan Apothecary, exploring cannabis medicine's evolution, therapeutic applications, and patient guidance. Over 20 years, cannabis shifted from stigmatized to mainstream medicine — doctors who once feared calling Robin now send referrals from around the world. Key breakthroughs were driven by public advocacy, Rick Simpson's 2005 film Run From The Cure, and social media amplifying real patient stories globally. Modern cannabis strains have been hybridized to reach 35–40% THC, far above the 16–20% of the 70s — Robin flagged this as harmful, as it diminishes the whole-plant profile. Spraying chemicals on high-THC crops is contributing to chronic illness in cannabis users, a growing concern in Western cultivation practices. THC (2 molecules) targets cancer cells via apoptosis, while the C-family — CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC (60+ molecules) — reduces inflammation, repairs the myelin sheath, and supports healing. For cancer treatment, Robin's 30,000-client experience points to 500–1,500 mg of THC daily for six to nine months as the effective therapeutic range, not the commonly cited 60g over 90 days. Rick Simpson's gram-a-day protocol was based on naphtha extraction (~90% THC yield), but a gram is a weight measure — cannabinoid content varies by plant material and extraction method, so not all cannabis oil is equal. Strains matter when smoking but become irrelevant in concentrates — multi-strain compounding creates a richer cannabinoid bouquet, and dispensary sativa/indica labels are driven by terpene profiles, not plant genetics. Suppository dosing allows patients to absorb high THC doses without psychoactive effects — it absorbs into the colon wall within 3 minutes but takes up to 6 hours to reach the bloodstream. Robin recommends combining a nightly suppository with an oral dose using a 4:1 THC-to-CBD ratio, while daytime low-THC oral formulas allow patients to function normally. Cannabis and immunotherapy cancel each other out — science shows they are contraindicated, with neither working effectively when used together. On diet, Robin has not seen a single client survive who pursued aggressive restriction protocols (fasting, juicing, 20+ supplements, enemas) — nurturing the body and eating whole, simple foods with fewer than 5 ingredients is the preferred approach.

Most functional fitness athletes are leaving their best recovery on the table every single night.Not because of their training. Not because of what they eat during the day. Because of what they do, or don't do, in the last hour before they go to sleep.This video breaks down exactly what to eat before bed to keep your body building muscle and burning fat while you sleep. Two mistakes to avoid and one thing you can start doing tonight.No tracking. No complicated meal plan. Just one simple habit that changes how you wake up.
Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-19-2026: Dr. Dawn warns that stacking multiple gummy supplements can cause GI distress from sugar alcohols like xylitol, sorbitol, and mannitol, with symptoms persisting up to three days after stopping. She recommends limiting sugar alcohol intake to 6mg daily and switching to non-gummy formulations if experiencing bloating, cramping, or diarrhea. An emailer asks about finding treatment for abdominophrenic dyssynergia, a condition causing progressive abdominal distension after meals. Dr. Dawn recommends using AI search to locate physical therapy centers offering EMG-guided biofeedback, and suggests ruling out SIBO and low stomach acid. Researchers at the American Chemical Society have created modified psilocybin variants designed to release the active compound more slowly, potentially reducing hallucinogenic effects while maintaining therapeutic benefits. Dr. Dawn expresses concern that such patentable alternatives could prevent legalization of natural psilocybin for addiction treatment. Japanese researchers used PET imaging to discover that ketamine rapidly relieves treatment-resistant depression by altering the distribution of AMPAR glutamate receptors in the brain. Within two weeks, patients' receptor patterns normalized to resemble healthy controls, with enduring changes tracking symptom improvement. A study found CBD and CBG improved fatty liver disease markers in mice by increasing phosphocreatine energy reserves and reactivating cellular recycling centers. Dr. Dawn notes the compounds were injected directly into the abdominal cavity, making the results impossible to translate to oral consumption, an example of headlines exceeding reality. King's College London research found that root canal treatment for apical periodontitis improved blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation markers over two years. Dr. Dawn advises regular flossing and periodically tapping teeth with a metal instrument to detect painful teeth needing attention. An emailer asks about Crohn's disease and the gut-brain axis. Dr. Dawn explains that the vagus nerve serves as a bidirectional highway between brain and gut, with gut bacteria producing serotonin that affects mood, while stress increases intestinal permeability and worsens inflammation. In medical news of the weird, scientists discovered that malaria parasites contain tiny iron crystals powered by hydrogen peroxide—the same fuel used in rockets. This first-ever biological self-propelled nanoparticle could inspire new approaches to powering medical nanobots.
If you're training hard, eating clean, and still not seeing your body change, this video is for you.In the next 5 minutes I'm going to give you one dead simple shift that every functional fitness athlete I've ever coached has made, and it's the reason they finally started seeing the body composition results they'd been chasing for months.No macro tracking. No calorie counting. No complicated meal plans.Just the honest truth about why your body isn't responding the way it should, and the one thing you can do today to change that.This is the most important nutrition advice nobody ever gives functional fitness athletes. And once you hear it, you'll wonder why it took this long.
Where are you listening from?A kid goes from hospice care to riding bikes again, and suddenly the cannabis conversation stops being theoretical. We sit down with Sasha, Executive Director of Realm of Caring, to unpack how that kind of outcome sparked a nonprofit that now helps tens of thousands of people navigate cannabinoid therapy with less fear and more facts.We talk about what “taking the confusion out of cannabis” actually looks like when you're a patient, a parent, or a caregiver. Sasha explains the biggest misconceptions she still runs into, why cannabis stigma stays so loud, and how Realm of Caring creates a safe place for basic questions and high-stakes decisions. You'll hear how their free one-on-one support works, what to look for in safer products (yes, certificates of analysis), and why tracking small changes like sleep, anxiety, or daily function can be more useful than chasing instant “miracle” results.We also dig into cannabis research and why scientific validation matters, including Realm of Caring's partnership with Johns Hopkins University and the value of long-term real-world data on commercially available products. One of the most powerful takeaways: improved outcomes can reduce caregiver burden, strengthening the whole family, not just the person using CBD, THC, CBG, or other cannabinoids. We close with concrete ways to help, from joining research (including options for non-users as controls) to donating monthly and sharing resources.

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we're covering a mix of patient advocacy, strange real-world stories, policy progress, and promising new research. Macky kicks things off with news of Patient Protect, a new initiative designed to support UK medical cannabis patients who face discrimination in workplaces, housing, and everyday life. It's a step toward better protection and awareness for patients who still struggle with outdated attitudes. He also shares a bizarre story from New Zealand where a bag containing cannabis and cash was accidentally donated to a charity shop, leaving staff more than a little surprised when they discovered it among the usual donations. John brings big news from the United States as Virginia lawmakers reach a deal on a final bill to legalise recreational marijuana sales, potentially moving the state closer to a regulated retail market. Smee reports on a new UK grant supporting the development of hemp varieties specifically suited to British farming conditions, a move that could help strengthen the country's agricultural hemp sector. And Dr. Margaret wraps things up with promising medical research showing that cannabis compounds CBD and CBG may help combat fatty liver disease, adding to the growing body of evidence around the plant's therapeutic potential. Another packed episode covering advocacy, science, policy shifts, and the occasional “you couldn't make it up” moment from around the world.

Not all gassy strains come in hot and punch you in the throat.This week on Cannabis School, we break down E85 from Buzz, a gas-forward flower that is way smoother and more balanced than the name might make you think. No, it does not hit like the worst gas station decision you could make for your car. This one is actually pretty damn nice.Using the Storz & Bickel Volcano, we found E85 to be smooth, mild on flavor, and surprisingly easy to enjoy for a gas strain. The aroma leans gassy, but it is not an over-the-top diesel bomb. The flavor stays pretty mellow, and the whole ride feels more polished than harsh.Where this strain really starts to stand out is in the cannabinoid and terpene profile.Top Terpenes:LimoneneBeta-CaryophylleneLinaloolAlpha-PineneBeta-PineneNotable Cannabinoids:CBGA: 10.2 mg/gCBG: 1 mg/gCBD: 0.9 mg/gThat combo matters.Higher CBG and CBGA levels can be especially interesting for people looking at cannabis for daytime pain support, especially in colder months when joints start acting like they are collecting rent. This episode gets into exactly that, how certain strains can help with pain without dropping you on the couch, and why those minor cannabinoids deserve a lot more attention than they usually get.We also get into topicals, homemade balm, tinctures, dabs, vaporizing, and why finding the right cannabis protocol is about way more than just smoking flower and hoping for the best.What We Talk About in This Episode:Buzz E85 and why it is smoother than most gas strainsWhy limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, and pinene make this one interestingHow CBG and CBGA can matter for daytime pain reliefWhy winter makes aches and inflammation hit differentHomemade cannabis balm and the very real impact topicals can haveWhy vaporizing can completely change the experience of a strainThe role of set, setting, and conversation in how a strain landsWhy some strains hit better solo and others shine sociallyConcentrates, tinctures, and dialing in cannabis beyond just flowerUtah cannabis laws and the weirdness around flower, flame, and enforcementHow E85 Felt for Us:This one came across as:EnergeticHappyCreativeFocusedChattySocialSmoothIt has enough lift to keep you engaged, enough calm to stay comfortable, and enough clarity that it feels useful instead of foggy. That makes it a really solid option for a Saturday strain, a social strain, or even a daytime work strain depending on what you are doing.It is not sleepy.It is not heavy.It is not one of those gas strains that makes you regret the inhale.It is just smooth, functional, and easy to like.Best Fit For:Daytime useSocial hangsSaturday errands and projectsCreative sessionsPeople looking for a smoother gas strainConsumers curious about CBG-rich flowerThings to Note:Heavy cottonmouth showed upSlight dry eyesSmooth vapor, very little coughingMild gas flavor, not overpoweringE85 from Buzz is one of those strains that reminds you why looking past THC percentage and into terpenes and cannabinoids actually matters.

What is Pure Michigan actually built to do?Pure Michigan is not a “wake up and conquer the world” strain. It's usually a heavy hybrid that leans indica in feel, built more for depth than sparkle.This cultivar is commonly bred from Oreoz x Mendo Breath, which already tells you something. Both parents are known for dense structure, rich flavor, and body-forward effects.From Beehive Farmacy, batch specifics always matter, so check your label. But here's what Pure Michigan typically looks like chemically.• THC often in the high teens to mid 20 percent range• Very low CBD• Minor cannabinoids like CBG sometimes present in small amountsTranslation: this is THC dominant. If your tolerance is low, it can get heavy fast. This is not a microdose-first strain unless you intentionally keep it that way.Common dominant terpenes in Pure Michigan:• Caryophyllene• Myrcene• LimoneneCaryophyllene is the spicy, peppery terpene that also interacts with CB2 receptors, often associated with body relief.Myrcene leans sedating in higher concentrations.Limonene can add a slight mood lift or brightness.When myrcene and caryophyllene sit high together, you usually get that “deep exhale” body experience. Muscles loosen. Thoughts slow. The edges soften.Not guaranteed. But that's the tendency.At moderate doses:• Strong body relaxation• Slower mental pace• Warm, heavy calm• Possible couch gravityAt higher doses:• Sleep pressure• Brain fog• Hard pivot into “I'm done for the night”This is typically not a strain people use for high productivity. It leans evening. Recovery. Decompression.Who is this for:• People looking to wind down• Evening use• Body tension• High stress daysWho should be cautious:• Anyone sensitive to sedation• Anyone needing mental sharpness• New consumers jumping straight into large dosesThe real takeaway here is this: Pure Michigan is more about weight than sparkle. If you're chasing heavy body calm, it usually delivers. If you're chasing clarity and energy, this probably isn't your lane.And like we always say, strain names are branding. The batch chemistry is the truth. Always read the COA. Always start lower than you think.Utah cannabis makes more sense when you stop chasing names and start reading numbers.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

Most women training 4–5 WODs per week, HYROX, or functional fitness are doing the exact opposite of what builds muscle and tightens body composition. Eating less often leads to worse performance, slower metabolism, and a softer look — not leaner.In this video you'll learn: • Why calorie cuts stall recomposition • What actually drives fat loss + muscle gain at the same time • How to fuel training without tracking macros • Simple rules you can follow right awayLeave your questions or future video topics in the comments.To learn more about what CBG offers: https://cbgonlinenutritioncoaching.com/application-ytAt CBG, the goal is simple: improve performance, build muscle, and reduce body fat without obsessing over numbers or food tracking.Subscribe for weekly videos on nutrition and performance.Follow the Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cbgnutrition#recomp #womensfitness #crossfitnutrition #hyroxtraining #musclegain #fatloss #wod #performance #nutrition
In this Utah strain review, we sit down with Cap Junky from Dragonfly and do what we always do, slow it down, smell it, smoke it, question it, and talk honestly about how it actually feels.Cap Junky is a hybrid made from Alien Cookies and Kush Mints, and on paper it looks intense. High THC, loud genetics, and numbers that usually scare people off. What surprised us is how smooth and controlled the experience actually was.We talk about the dryness a lot of Utah flower picks up in winter, how packaging dates matter more than strain hype, and why climate plays a bigger role than most people realize. We also compare Dragonfly flower to Beehive's bud straight out of the bag and break down why “sticky” isn't the same thing as “good.”The high itself is mostly heady and light, not overpowering, no chest tightness, no racing heart, no panic. A big part of that comes down to terpenes like limonene and a noticeable amount of CBG, which helps mellow the ride and smooth out the edges of a higher THC strain.We also get into why THC percentage alone is a bad buying strategy, how terpene profiles tell you more about how a strain will feel, and why some high THC flower can feel calmer than lower percentage options.This episode is part strain review, part Utah cannabis reality check, and part reminder that intent matters more than numbers.Strain notesHybridHigh THC, smooth experienceHead-focused, light body feelNoticeable limonene and CBGCalm, controlled, and surprisingly chillIf you're in Utah and you've tried Cap Junky, or if you've had wildly different experiences with the same strain depending on brand or batch, let us know.

Blue Steel is one of those strains that doesn't try to impress you by knocking you over. It just quietly shows up, does its job, and lets you stay human.This episode is a solo run with Brandon holding things down while Jesse recovers, and it ends up being a really honest, grounded walkthrough of a strain that feels more like a tool than a party trick.Blue Steel is an indica-dominant hybrid that usually lands in the lower THC range, roughly 16–18 percent. In a market obsessed with chasing the highest number on the label, this one goes the opposite direction, and that's kind of the point.This episode explores Blue Steel in concentrate form, not flower, with a lot of attention paid to flavor, sensation, and how the effects actually unfold over time instead of all at once.Right out of the gate, the terpene profile makes itself known. Piney up front, with myrcene and beta-caryophyllene leading the charge. The flavor comes through fruity at first, then settles into something deeper and peppery on the exhale. It's noticeable, but not harsh, especially when dabbed at lower temperatures.The effects come on gently. Brandon describes it as a light dusting across the head rather than a heavy fog. Even though it's indica dominant, there's no haziness, no mental slowdown, and no derailment of your thoughts. The headspace stays clear and focused, while the body eases up, especially across the shoulders and back.As it settles in, Blue Steel shows its personality. Relaxed, subtle, quietly uplifting. It doesn't push you toward the couch, and it doesn't shove you into your own head. It feels functional. Present. Calm.This is framed as a daytime strain, especially for people who still want to get things done. For Brandon, who deals with chronic pain, it takes the sharp edge off without stealing attention or motivation. No chest pressure. No head pressure. No tightness. Just a smoother baseline.The episode also turns into a really practical conversation about dabs, dosing, and why concentrates don't have to mean getting obliterated. There's a clear explanation of why low-temperature dabbing preserves flavor and experience, how tiny amounts go a long way, and why pens can sometimes deliver inconsistent effects over time due to repeated heating and cooling.One of the most important takeaways here is that dabbing isn't about taking massive globs or chasing intensity. It's about control. Temperature control, dose control, and experience control.Blue Steel ends up being described as a genuinely beginner-friendly strain. Low THC, roughly around one percent CBG depending on the grower, and commonly used for pain, stress, and anxiety. It doesn't overwhelm or amplify anxious thoughts. Instead, it softens whatever edge you walked in with.This is the kind of strain you could use while working, hanging out with friends, or easing into cannabis if you're newer or more sensitive to higher THC products. It's calm without being dull, relaxing without being sedating, and clear-headed without being stimulating.Not flashy. Not aggressive. Just steady, pleasant, and effective.Sometimes that's exactly what you need.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

Goldstein's frustration with the medical system included long patient wait times of four to eight hours in emergency rooms and having to argue with insurance companies about necessary patient transfers to higher acuity facilities.A friend's breast cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy struggles prompted Goldstein to research cannabis in 2008, leading her to discover the endocannabinoid system and eventually work part-time in a medical cannabis practice in Los Angeles.Epilepsy and autism represent the top two conditions treated in Goldstein's pediatric cannabis practice, with one-third of pediatric epilepsy patients not responding to any pharmaceutical medications.Treatment protocols utilize primarily non-impairing cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, and CBDA, with THC used in medicinal doses that allow 70 to 80 percent of children to function without impairment.A remarkable case involved a nine-year-old patient with hundreds of daily seizures who progressed from being non-responsive in a stroller to saying "mama" at age 12-13, learning to crawl, feed herself, and use an iPad after years of cannabinoid treatment.Research demonstrates that longer treatment duration with CBD correlates with better outcomes, with patients showing optimal response rates at the two-year mark compared to one month or one year of treatment.CBD's effectiveness stems from its promiscuous nature, targeting over 75 different receptors including trip channels, adenosine enhancement, anandamide boosting, and GPR55 receptor blocking to reduce neuroexcitation and neuroinflammation.Different cannabis strains or chemovars contain varying amounts of similar compounds, requiring some patients to try 8, 10, or 15 different products before finding effective treatment, while others respond to any variety.Parents approach cannabis treatment with varying levels of apprehension, from immediate research after diagnosis to last-resort consideration after years of failed conventional treatments.Scientific literature now considers CBD an acceptable treatment for intractable pediatric seizures, with published research showing an 86% response rate for seizure reduction across multiple clinical studies.Environmental factors including increased chemical exposure, pesticide-laden foods like Cheerios, and processed foods contribute to the rising prevalence of childhood ailments compared to previous generations.Goldstein launched Goldstein Wellness in 2024, offering free comprehensive cannabis education to US licensed healthcare practitioners through 50+ videos and providing a free referral service connecting patients with educated clinicians in their states.Schedule 3 rescheduling will primarily benefit research opportunities and allow patients to cross state lines with their medicine, addressing the current problem where well children cannot travel to visit family members in other states.Research on autism patients revealed that children have lower levels of anandamide, an inner cannabis compound, and cannabinoid treatment can normalize biomarkers related to aggression, inflammation, and neuronal functioning while improving behaviors and family functioning.

Mary Ellen began using cannabis at age 18 to manage PTSD symptoms from her brother's death by methadone addiction when she was eight, finding that cannabis smoothed out her restlessness, depression, and agitation.Stopping cannabis use in her late twenties led to everything going haywire in Mary Ellen's life, including doctor shopping for opiates, fibromyalgia diagnosis, postpartum depression, and five trips to rehab.After 11 months in a 12-step program following her fifth rehab, Mary Ellen read a book suggesting addiction was a choice and decided to reintroduce cannabis, which helped her life begin to simmer down and function properly again.During the years without cannabis, Mary Ellen's endocannabinoid system went into deficiency, and she believes seeking opiates was a sideways attempt to get rebalanced, though it only made everything worse.Cannabis creates homeostasis and balance by working through the endocannabinoid system's unique retrograde motion, where chemicals flow in the opposite direction from traditional neurotransmitters, acting as a regulator to slow excessive chemical signaling.Discovery of the endocannabinoid system's retrograde motion turned 100 years of neuroscience upside down, as it showed chemicals flowing from postsynaptic to presynaptic nerves rather than the traditional one-way direction taught in neuroscience.Mary Ellen was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare salivary gland cancer with no correlation to cannabis use, and received treatment from Dr. Gregory Weinstein in Philadelphia, who developed the surgical robot used for the procedure.Medical professionals at the treatment facility encouraged Mary Ellen to use cannabis during her cancer treatment, which she found unusual but supportive given her 40-year history with the plant.Five surgeries included endometriosis treatment, ruptured neck disc repair, breast reduction, hip replacement, and cancer removal, with the neck scan fortunately revealing the otherwise undetectable cancer.During cancer treatment, Mary Ellen took up to 60 milligrams of oxycodone per day but successfully tapered off following doctor's advice, using meditation principles and understanding that addiction thoughts are just thoughts that don't have to be believed.Cannabis continues to help Mary Ellen manage post-surgery symptoms including pain when swallowing, metallic taste from reduced taste buds, and lack of appetite, with small amounts motivating her to eat and care for herself.Remarkably, Mary Ellen's cancer surgery required significantly less intervention than planned, with surgeons avoiding skin grafts from her arm and leg that were originally scheduled, which she attributes partly to consuming CBG oils and RSO prior to surgery.People suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's likely have improperly functioning endocannabinoid systems that could benefit from cannabis intervention.Mary Ellen encourages people not to give up on cannabis if previous attempts didn't work, emphasizing that today's options are vastly different from 20 years ago, and even small amounts of CBD can provide significant behind-the-scenes health benefits over the long term.

Robb experienced extreme fatigue, weakness, and dangerous bleeding episodes due to his condition, which required him to take up to 16 different medications daily including high-dose steroids and undergo multiple blood transfusions.Medical treatments included experimental procedures and a splenectomy, but doctors eventually told Robb his options were running out and suggested either an expensive experimental drug costing $600 per week or radiation therapy.A young man from Robb's church suggested medical cannabis as a treatment option, which initially angered Robb who questioned how marijuana could help when scientists and doctors couldn't determine what was wrong with him.Research into cannabis led Robb to discover Rick Simpson's story, Dr. Rafael's work from Israel, and most importantly US Patent 6630507B1 which lists cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants for autoimmune diseases.After the splenectomy failed to improve his condition, Robb obtained his medical cannabis certification in Michigan in 2008 and purchased his first gram of Rick Simpson oil for $80 from a compassion club.Initial dosing began with tiny amounts using a toothpick to extract small portions of the oil throughout the day, as Robb considered himself a lightweight when it came to THC effects.Lifestyle changes accompanied the cannabis treatment including adopting an organic diet, eliminating processed foods, and studying the immune system to understand how nutrition affects overall health.Within one week of starting cannabis oil treatment and detoxing from prescription medications, Robb returned to work after being unable to work for over a year and a half.Robb became a licensed caregiver in Michigan, growing cannabis for five patients and eventually operating a 24/7 drive-through dispensary in 2016 with an on-site MD for patient certifications.Partnership with Dr. Calasperius beginning in 2020 created a comprehensive treatment approach combining traditional medical examinations with customized cannabis formulations based on patient needs and tolerance levels.Success story involved treating a six-month-old baby named Anastasia who was experiencing 100 seizures daily, using only CBD, CBG, and CBN without THC to eliminate her need for toxic narcotics.Frustration remains with public misconceptions about cannabis despite extensive patent evidence and 17 years of safe processing and provision in Michigan without any lawsuits or liability cases.Educational efforts continue to promote cannabis in all forms including hemp hearts for nutrition, emphasizing that the plant can provide food, housing, clothing, energy, and medicine while encouraging people to think independently about their health.Current operations focus on community wellness through the website communitywellness.life, offering various cannabis products including infused honey from a third-generation wildflower honey farm.
