Micheal Kydd spent a lot of time working in politics and government as a conservative. While he did try mushrooms once at the age of 19, Micheal has always been as anti-drug as you can imagine. When Covid hit, Micheal found himself asking where his life was going and what type of impact he was truly making. Around the same time he came across some research on mushrooms. He found himself identifying existing problems in the industry and wondered what the government was doing on the regulatory and policy side. His lobbying work on the matter soon transformed into the unique space he is in now. Micheal focuses on clients looking to access psychedelics for end of life care. He's come to learn a lot about the benefits for those suffering from depression, PTSD, and other mental health issues. With a lot of other people waking up to the potential of plant based medicine, there's a frustration with the government telling them they can't use a natural plant that's been used for healing for thousands of years. Micheal does believe there needs to be some sort of regulation, but the question is, how do you regulate a natural product? While Micheal thinks psychedelics can help with everything from mental health to addiction, he does think there's negative consequences of trying to rush it through too quickly. He was noticing a lot of commercial investors getting ahead of themselves. The market has since hit a snag and there's not much investment coming in. Micheal sees the silver lining as an opportunity to get the research caught up and out to the masses. Like with any other medicine, there can be adverse effects, and Micheal wants to make sure we know enough about those to avoid them. With all of the passion Micheal has for this space, it may surprise some that he just took his first real psychedelic journey a couple weeks ago. He attended a luxury retreat that specializes in psychedelic-assisted therapies. Beyond wanting to better be able to discuss the process with patients, Micheal also had some of his own childhood trauma to heal. Going in skeptical, Micheal now says he can't stress how much it did for him. Feeling loved, cared for, and respected from the first moment there, Micheal was able to hit the reset button and experience profound healing. What You'll Learn: What the Section 56 process is in Canada. Why the psychedelic market slowing down is a good thing. At what dosage we begin to see therapeutic effects. At what dosage we start to see adverse side effects.

Kevin Tansey is a 7-year pro hockey player whose career was saved by cannabis. After high school, he accepted a division one scholarship and was excited to chase his dream. Working at a hockey school, on his way to work at the age of 19, Kevin got assaulted. He was hit in the back of the head, suffered a cracked skull, a brain bleed, and was put in a coma for two days. He originally used the painkillers properly, but when a doctor told him he shouldn't play hockey again, Kevin began turning to them for emotional relief. He found himself abusing prescription pills on and off for two years when he decided he wanted something helpful but not habit forming. Kevin had grown up around cannabis, but didn't know the first thing about CBD. When he was introduced to it, it was mind blowing. He truly believed in the product and that athletes should have a more sustainable option that doesn't do damage to the body long term. He quickly became an advocate for CBD use in professional sports. He's found the level of stigma differs around the world, but no one is immune from it. From straight up banning CBD use to losing sponsorships over it, there are still many hurdles to face. Through his own CBD company, ImpACTIVE Cannabis, Kevin's mission is to help reduce the use of painkillers in sports. What You'll Learn: How CBD differs from THC. What physical relief you may experience with CBD. What mental relief you may experience with CBD. How advocates are fighting the stigma.

Growing up, both of his parents struggled with drug addiction. JaMarr's father, who was killed when JaMarr was nine, became addicted to heroin after returning from the Vietnam War, where he'd fought as a marine. His mother, who was addicted to crack cocaine, saw the pain and suffering her addiction caused and pledged to live her life differently. She started attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings and bringing a teenaged JaMarr with her. “I would see her share her story very vulnerably and very emotionally, and I would see people transformed by her speaking,” he recalls. “I knew that I wanted to do that one day for people with my stories.” Life in the 1990s New York City, though, threatened to set JaMarr down a different path. Held back twice, he described himself as an angry and scared teen who, although he was naturally gifted in school, “wasn't motivated to do schoolwork. I was motivated with staying alive.” That was when a New York superintendent noticed JaMarr and decided to transfer him into a specialized high school devoted to communication, both written and oral. That act, he recalls, was where he shone — learning-driven all the more home for him at 18 when he spoke in front of 2,000 people at New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel. Since then, JaMarr's path has taken many turns. After an accomplished 14-year career in the military, he found his calling in a decidedly different public speaking format — stand-up comedy. A self-fashioned “entrepremedian,” he's merged his natural talent for words and humor with his business acumen. And today, as Chief Marketing Officer of Club Nirvana, he's applying all of those skills toward achieving a new goal: transforming the cannabis industry. In this episode of “Good Dudes Grow,” Gary and JaMarr talk about what inspired JaMarr as a comedian-entrepreneur to take on cannabis, what inspired him first to enter entrepreneurship while stationed in Japan as a naval officer, and the power of putting yourself out there. What You'll Learn: Why, as a marketer, JaMarr says there's “an audience for everyone” (and how he found his on ABC, NBC, and MTV, among other places) Why he believes in the importance of “flow state,” and how he's seen it manifest in comedy, in business, and the military What sets Club Nirvana apart in the cannabis, CBD, health, and wellness spaces And much more!

Kevin Tansey is a 7 year pro hockey player whose career was saved by cannabis. After high school he accepted a division one scholarship and was excited to chase his dream. Working at a hockey school, on his way to work at the age of 19, Kevin got assaulted. He was hit in the back of the head, suffered a cracked skull, a brain bleed, and was put in a coma for two days. He originally used the painkillers properly, but when a doctor told him he shouldn't play hockey again, Kevin began turning to them for emotional relief. He found himself abusing prescription pills on and off for two years when he decided he wanted something helpful but not habit forming. Kevin had grown up around cannabis, but didn't know the first thing about CBD. When he was introduced to it, it was mind blowing. He truly believed in the product and that athletes should have a more sustainable option that doesn't do damage to the body long term. He quickly became an advocate for CBD use in professional sports. He's found the level of stigma differs around the world, but no one is immune from it. From straight up banning CBD use to losing sponsorships over it, there's still many hurdles to face. Through his own CBD company, ImpACTIVE Cannabis, Kevin's mission is to help reduce the use of painkillers in sports. What You'll Learn: How CBD differs from THC. What physical relief you may experience with CBD. What mental relief you may experience with CBD. How advocates are fighting the stigma.

Today's guest, Peggy Van de Plassche, shares how she went from negative and anxious to positive and fully engaged in life. The key was psilocybin. Working in finance for the last 20 years, Peggy spent half of that time on a healing treadmill. Wanting to stay away from prescription drugs, or any drugs for that matter, Peggy was hesitant when she started hearing about psychedelics for mental health. After much research, Peggy decided to give psilocybin a try as it was plant based. When she started to feel its healing effects, Peggy closed her business, stopped all public speaking on finance, and started spreading the word about psychedelics. She wrote a book chronicling her journey, Paris, Mushrooms, and Me, in just 10 days. Peggy doesn't want to shame anyone that uses traditional mental health treatments, such as prescription drugs, she just wants people to better understand their role. Prescription drugs are great at reducing symptoms, but they don't actually solve the underlying problem. If you need a temporary crutch to lean on during a tough time, prescription drugs work great. If you want to actually rewire your brain, to change the way you think and move past your mental health struggles, psychedelics are worth looking into. What You'll Learn: How to figure out the right dose for you. Why you need to be intentional about psychedelic treatment. What neuroplasticity is. And much more!

Can cannabis and psychedelic drugs make breast cancer treatment more effective? Today's guest, Nicole Dimonda, says yes. She's experienced the success first hand as she incorporated it into her own cancer treatment. Prior to her own diagnosis, Nicole operated a delivery service in the recreational cannabis industry. During this time, she started to get a lot of inquiries on how to dose for everything from autism to cancer. Wanting to help, Nicole began to research the medical side of both cannabis and psychedelics. Then, in 2018, Nicole was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She took all the knowledge she had gained and the success she had seen with others, and she advocated for herself. Not wanting to face a long road of chemo, radiation, and a hysterectomy, Nicole decided to give cannabis and psilocybin a try. In just 5 months, with only 3 chemo treatments, Nicole's doctors were amazed to see no more metabolic activity. Crediting those drugs with saving her life, Nicole set out to publish the first ever case study proving that cannabis and psilocybin can aid in cancer treatment. Beyond promoting the case study and getting it out to as many doctors as possible, Nicole says there will be clinical trials starting in London to test the formulations. What You'll Learn: How cannabis aids in the chemo process. What other countries are doing in the medicinal marijuana arena. How to advocate for yourself with doctors.

When physicians recognize the power of (and need for) CBD, big things can happen. Just ask Dr. Mary Clifton. A board-certified and licensed internal medicine doctor in Manhattan, Dr. Clifton is also a noted CBD and Cannabis expert. She's the best-selling author of “The Grass Is Greener: Medical Marijuana, THC & CBD Oil: Reversing Chronic Pain, Inflammation and Disease,” founder of CBDandCannabisInfo.com, and she's also the creator of “The Cannabinoid Protocol,” a highly respected professional certification course. Earlier in her career, though, there was a time when Dr. Clifton “knew nothing” about CBD and Cannabis. She'd had patients report positive experiences with both, but within her practice, she was “basically staying in my lane,” she says. Until the hospice experiences of her brother and a close friend, who died within three months of each other, indicated to her that CBD and Cannabis could be helpful end-of-life medicines. So, she started researching. “As a doctor, you have to read an hour a day, every day, if you're going to maintain the level of expertise you need to maintain. I've been reading over my whole career, and I'd never read any of this. I thought, if I'm in this position, there's a whole bunch of other doctors in this position, too.” How to Get Involved: Gary Roberts is the founder and CEO of Pure Body Zen, a company based around creating and selling high-quality CBD products that work to heal mind and body alike.

You might say Anthony Pagliaro has done a little of everything. He has been a volunteer firefighter and an EMT. A medical assistant, a phlebotomist, and a registered nurse. A nutritionist, a personal trainer, and a wellness coach. An MMA fighter and an Air Force vet. And he's also an actor and a stuntman, with credits that include work as Chris Pratt's stand-in. As he goes from one challenge to the next, what's the one thing that helps him maximize his body and mind? CBD. But that wasn't always the case. “I never believed in CBD,” he recalls. “I never believed in the whole ‘marijuana's going to save you' this and that. I thought of it as ‘You're getting high. Leave me the h*** alone.” As a pro fighter and nurse who was used to getting randomly drug tested, Anthony wasn't interested. Until his work within the wellness space ultimately changed his mind and opened his eyes to the healing powers of CBD. On this episode of Good Dudes Grow, Gary, and Anthony talk about the need to keep not only your body but your mind sharp as a fighter, how Anthony came to advocate for CBD as a tool for wellness, and what some of his best “backstage” stories from acting are (hint: they star the drinking talents of a couple of notable actors). What You'll Learn: How Arby kicked his pharmaceutical addiction How we can ensure the plant stays in the people's hands (and not in Big Pharma's) Why Arby thinks the hemp industry can help solve some of the planet's climate problems And much more!

Dr. Jacob Vigil was coming up for tenure at the University of New Mexico, where he still works as an Associate Professor of Psychology, when he decided to take a step back and truly take stock of his life's impact. “I started to look at my own work and a lot of the work around me, and it didn't seem like a lot of those efforts were actually amounting to improvements in our society,” he recalls. “I looked in the mirror and thought that I could do more than I'm currently doing. And at that time, I also opened my eyes to all the suffering that was taking place around me.” Everywhere he looked, Dr. Vigil saw pain, in his community and in society. Specifically, he saw a lot of what he calls “secondary victimization” — or a lack of efficacy from traditional pharmaceuticals, as well as the harm that comes from the culture of dependency they've created. There had to be another way to relieve pain more holistically, he thought. That's when he decided to dive deeper into studying cannabis. Today a noted cannabis researcher, Director of the Medical Cannabis Research Fund and creator of the Cannabis Connection University, Dr. Vigil shares resources and education around a topic that's been underpriortized by other academics. On this episode of Good Dudes Grow, Gary hears from Dr. Vigil about what some of those learnings are, and how they can be applied to treat everything from anxiety and depression to insomnia and chronic pain. What You'll Learn: Why Dr. Vigil calls cannabis a “super medication” and an “existential threat to the pharmaceutical industry” What impact cannabis has on the endocannabinoid system (and what exactly that means) Why big pharma isn't empowering people to take responsibility for their own health And much more! Favorite Quote: “I don't know how we got to this place in society where our own decision making over the most basic elements of our existence, like our health, has been stripped away from us.

As a youth, were you taught that cannabis is bad? Why is this negative stigma still around, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that cannabis is not harmful? Even though alcohol and tobacco result in hundreds of thousands of deaths around the world, their legality is never questioned in the same way. On this episode of “Good Dude's Grow”, Gary talks to Tommy Chong. Tommy Chong is a Canadian-American actor, director, writer, musician, comedian, and cannabis rights activist. He is widely recognized for his partnership with fellow comedian and actor Richard ‘Cheech' Marin. He was honored with the ‘High Times Lifetime Achievement Award' in 2013.

Stigmas are hard to break, but CBD may well be a better way to manage physical and mental stress for competitive athletes than traditional treatments--and may even be on its way to more widespread acceptance in the NFL, thanks to advocates like Cottreezy. Cottreezy was born into a football family with a father and uncle who both broke barriers as Black athletes in the NFL. He played for the Minnesota Vikings, the Frankfurt Galaxy/ RHEIN Fire, and the San Diego Chargers. Over the course of a physically-demanding career, Cottreezy's experiences managing injury drew him to explore the benefits of CBD for athletes. Today, he's an expert on cultivating cannabis and is focused on educating people about its benefits and writing and releasing his own music. On this episode of Good Dudes Grow, Cottreezy and Gary break down the stigma around cannabis to reframe the way we think about sports medicine and athletes' well-being. They discuss how CBD can support health and promote productivity on the field and in other workplaces, and how Cottreezy is leading conversations that he hopes will bring policy reform and culture change to the NFL, and help athletes in every sport thrive. Listen in for an episode that will debunk everything you thought you knew about cannabis in professional sports. What You'll Learn: How CBD can support athletes (and anyone) with pain reduction, injury recovery, PTSD, and anxiety--without clouding your mind Why the NFL's double standards for substance use (think opiate prescriptions and alcohol sponsorships alongside the league's strict bans on cannabis use)--do more harm than good What Cottreezy is up to today--from his work uniting Black and indigenous cannabis growers to protect the planet, to standing on the frontlines of the BLM movement and indigenous community issues, to releasing new music in 2021 (and why his forthcoming LP is worth the wait) And much more! Favorite Quote: “The stigma of [cannabis use] that people have to understand [...] is that the CBD aspect of it is 100% what you would need [in high pressure situations] because it doesn't relax you. It keeps you sharper. Hell, it even clears you out. The first time I had really good CBD [...] my eyes lifted up. [...] It literally cleared me off.

At just 3 years old, the physical torture of Steven Twohig by his stepmother began. It would instill in him a deep-seated pain that he would carry on into adulthood. Desperately looking for healing, Steven was introduced to shadow work. He knew right away there was something there, and he began to study it in depth. For the next 10 years, Steven would work for world-renowned speaker, Tony Robbins. Studying how Tony operated, Steven continued to practice shadow work on the side. Through his work in the self-help world, he was introduced to ayahuasca. Unfortunately, he couldn't get away to attend a ceremony in Peru. When Steven and his family moved to Florida, he found that there was an ayahuasca retreat just 45 minutes from his house. So, for the first time, 3 years ago, Steven took an ayahuasca journey. As soon as he returned, he knew he needed to quit his job with Tony in order to start his own integration coaching company. He had discovered that shadow work together with psychedelics created a deeper experience, and he wanted to help others to achieve this. Now, Steven has participated in 25 ayahuasca ceremonies, and he describes it as decades worth of therapy in a few hours. He can't wait for this ancient form of healing to become more widely accepted, so we as a society can tap into its potential. What You'll Learn: How to get started with shadow work. How to prepare for a healing journey. What it means to integrate your healing. And much more!

Gary recently found himself captivated by an episode of the Shawn Ryan Show, where Shawn discussed his psychedelic experience (that episode can be found HERE.) Today, Gary sits down with Shawn to find out what led him to this controversial treatment. After high school, Shawn didn't have a lot of direction, but he knew he wasn't college material. When a Navy recruiter asked Shawn if he wanted to be a Seal, he looked into it and realized it was probably the best fit for what he wanted to do. After 6 years on Seal Team 8, Shawn transitioned to the CIA, where he spent another 9 years. When he left the agency in 2015, he wasn't in a good space, and had no friends or family around, so he turned to drugs to cope. Things got out of control and Shawn knew he couldn't continue down this road. He started seeing a therapist regularly for a few years, until he moved to another state. With his tactical training business, Vigilance Elite, picking up, things started to get stressful again. Shawn had also started his own podcast, the Shawn Ryan Show, where he interviewed a lot of his former colleagues. A common theme among them was psychedelic treatment, and the more Shawn heard about it, the more he thought there might be something to this. Still relying on sleep meds, anti anxiety meds, and adderall, Shawn didn't feel present in his life, not to mention the anxiety was still there. So, he decided to make the call. Having done a lot of research on the science behind it, Shawn still was going in as a skeptic. However, he says he came out of it a completely different person, and will forever advocate for this cutting edge treatment. What You'll Learn: Why having clear intentions is key. What the psychedelic treatment process looks like. How to extend the results of psychedelic treatment. And much more!

Cannigma is an evidence based approach to everything cannabis related, from cooking to medical research. Today we're joined by the CEO of Cannigma, Elana Goldberg, as well as the Chief Medical Advisor, Codi Peterson. Elana's relationship with cannabis started around age 15, but in her 20s she gave up all substances to start her motherhood journey. As a digital journalist, Elana was reintroduced to cannabis from a content creation perspective before she took up consuming it again, and then ultimately started Cannigma. Codi was working as a pediatric pharmacist in the emergency department when he decided to become a cannabis science expert. He was then recruited by Cannigma to oversee the scientific team. The content on Cannigma goes through a lengthy and expensive process before it ever gets published. They first decide what they want to write about by identifying questions a lot of people have or noticing current trends. Once the content is written, it gets reviewed by various experts, with about 10 different touchpoints. Their goal is to provide fact based knowledge in an easy-to-understand format. They acknowledge that people consume content in different ways, that's why they offer articles, videos, infographics, and even a podcast. Going forward they plan to integrate psychedelic content, a cultivation grow guide, credible brand recommendations, and cooking tools. What You'll Learn: What process the content on Cannigma goes through. What some misconceptions around cannabis use are. How urine drug screens are biased. Why cannabis is more stigmatized than psychedelics.

Chris Piazza saw his first glass pipe at the age of 14, and fell in love. He told all of his friends he wanted to blow glass. Eight years later he would find himself in Colorado finishing up some seasonal work at Copper Mountain, while playing with glass melting on the side. His roommate told him he should find someone to teach him glassblowing, and so Chris reached out on a forum. He ended up securing an apprenticeship with Rone Glass, whom he learned a lot from. Over the next 10 years he expanded his glass business, started a school, and taught others. While working with about 100 glass shops, Chris's partner suggested they open a distribution center. Thus, Canna Devices was born, and they now employ over 65 full-time artists. Chris says that when cannabis became legal, all the funding went after the growers, leaving the other half of the industry behind. This inspired Chris to start a nonprofit that helps small businesses, including glassblowers, to find capital and grow. What You'll Learn: How to create different colors in glass. Why you shouldn't purchase imported glass pieces. How glass blowers have impacted the cannabis industry. What Chris is doing to advance the glass blowing industry.

After a couple of decades as a midwife, Carrie Schell decided she wanted to keep growing in her practice as a primary care provider. She started researching the connection between mental wellness and physical activity. She became a personal trainer, got certified as a yoga instructor, and then took a position at a drug and alcohol treatment center. She had discovered that yoga, meditation, and physical activity were more useful in treating addiction than some traditional methods. Carrie would later take on a role helping veterans who had experienced trauma. She made a surprising correlation, that just like an addict would shift their moral compass by doing things while in the depths of addiction that they wouldn't do while sober, service members often had their moral compass shifted while being asked to do or experience things they wouldn't normally. Carrie is currently working on a moral compass program and book. She hopes to partner with the government to make it free to all service members. What You'll Learn: How a lack of connection leads to addiction. What the difference between a gray drinker and an alcoholic is. How yoga is a great gateway into fitness. What the difference between self-worth and self-esteem is.

Growing up with a strong family, at the top of his game in sports, Dylan Roos had a very big ego. That was until, at the age of 18, he didn't make the draft into professional sports. Fast-forward a couple of years, and a bad breakup would take Dylan down a few more pegs. Trying to man up, Dylan pushed his feelings down and tried to move forward. Instead, he found himself drinking too much, not taking care of himself, and ultimately unable to get out of bed. Finally, Dylan admitted to himself that he didn't have all the answers, and he went to see a psychologist. Formally diagnosed with anxiety and depression, Dylan felt both shame and hope.

Growing up, Len May struggled with focus and ultimately got diagnosed with ADD. To treat this, he was put on prescription medications that greatly dulled his emotions and feelings. One day before school, Len tried cannabis for the first time. He was amazed at the focus it gave him without all the negative side effects. Going forward, Len refused to take his prescription medication and chose to smoke cannabis instead. This resulted in his parents kicking him out of the house, as they simply saw him as a “druggie”. Through his journey, he found himself serving as the President of the Cannabis Action Network, where he met the first patient to ever be prescribed medical marijuana. Seeing it help her with her Glaucoma, and knowing it helped him with his ADD, Len became committed to educating others about the healing powers of cannabis. One thing Len noticed was that different people, taking the same product, could have vastly different results. This led him to research how DNA and our genetics play a role in our cannabis experience. Now, as a Certified Medical Cannabis Specialist in Medicinal Genomics, Len has founded EndoCanna Health, a bio-science technology company. What You'll Learn: Why genetics make a difference in the compounds you take. How different cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system. Why low and slow dosing doesn't work. And much more!

Most people have always viewed a firefighter's career as cool. Little might people know, this career can be mentally grueling. Do you know a firefighter? Ask yourself this: how well do you know the struggle they face on a daily basis? Both Police Officers and Firefighters are more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty. According to a study, 14% to 22% of firefighters are highly likely to have PTSD. 11% percent of firefighters struggle with depression, and about 46.8% of firefighters think about suicide sometime within their career. Reading these numbers, Gary Roberts was shocked and decided to dedicate himself to the mission of lowering those alarming statistics.

It's not like you spent all day just working out like most people think, sitting around, sleeping, watching movies and tv. If you get to do that in your department, chances are that's the only downtime within 24 hours you get. We are basically on the edge. We are waiting for that one call that anything can happen.

Do you know all the secrets buried in your body's chemistry? Few of us do – so we're quick to blame external factors when we get sick or hurt...and we're double-quick to reject treatment possibilities we don't know much about. All this leads us to miss out on what could be the fastest and healthiest route to solving our issues. Dr. Eric Dorninger practices naturopathic medicine through Roots and Branches, a healthcare center specializing in finding holistic natural solutions for patients with chronic illnesses. Set apart from the rampant focus on superficial “quick-fix” medical treatments, Dr. Dorninger works with each patient's existing biochemistry and set of needs to get at the underlying issues behind every ache, pain and worry. On this episode of the Good Dudes Grow podcast, Gary and Dr. Dorninger dive deep on the science of diagnosing a “mystery illness” and what the medical literature turns up regarding CBD's effects on our natural biochemical functions, choosing the right product and dosage for your individual needs (plus a few red flags to watch for in terms of product quality), and getting to the root cause of our common, day-to-day issues to begin formulating a real, long-term solution for what ails us. Tune in for a mind-blowing interview that lays out the most miraculous scientific tidbits behind CBD's healing powers. What You'll Learn: How Dr. Dorninger is using science and education to spread the truth about CBD and widen the perspectives of the "Just say no" crowd What different activities and components of our diet trigger in our brains and which CBD-related buttons we're already pressing (or failing to press) independent of hemp products Why moving further and further away from Mother Nature is making us sick, and how she tends to smack us in the face to snap us out of it And much more: Favorite Quote: "But it's meant to literally take someone like my dad and say, 'Let's get out of Nancy Reagan and really talk about the biochemistry of the [endogenous cannabinoid] molecule. And I've taught 18 to 20s for the last 20 years... and kids don't respond to 'Don't do this.' Youth - and adults - respond to scientific biochemical education. And you know, my big things that I would say to your viewers are, we all make God-given endocannabinoids. These are part of your God-given physiology. You were born with it."

Josiah Hesse was working as a journalist in Denver, CO when cannabis became legal there. He shifted a lot of his reporting to cannabis and met a diverse group of people that didn't fit the typical ‘stoner' stereotype. Among those were a lot of athletes, especially marathon runners. Recently taking up running for his own mental health, Josiah was intrigued and began to not only utilize cannabis, but to research its validity as a performance enhancer. On today's episode of Good Dudes Grow, Josiah discusses what he learned as he explored the science, history, and culture of this phenomenon. He personally found that taking a low-dose edible before running made it more enjoyable, gave him more of a mind-body communication, and helped him to engage with the natural, pleasurable sides of exercise. Beyond that, Josiah discovered users to have a lower rate of diabetes and heart disease, and to be more active than their non-using counterparts. All of this, and more, can be found in Josiah's book, Runner's High: How a Movement of Cannabis-Fueled Athletes is Changing the Science of Sports. What You'll Learn: What percentage of professional athletes are utilizing cannabis. What the ‘runner's high' is and how to achieve it. How cannabis can enhance physical performance.

After a long, successful athletic career, Jim McMahon found himself with unavoidable symptoms, impacted short-term memory, and early-onset dementia. Fortunately, he sought out cannabis as an alternative to pain pills, and now, his symptoms are easing. Jim McMahon is a former Chicago Bears quarterback who spent 15 seasons in the National Football League. McMahon became a media darling, known both for his playing ability and his personality. In 2010, he admitted to having memory problems due to injuries suffered on the football field. Along with six other retired professional football players, he filed a class action lawsuit against the NFL in August 2011, citing the league's negligence and misconduct in its handling of concussion-related injuries. He has used cannabis to treat the chronic pain and arthritis that he suffers from as a result of his football career. To him, cannabis is a "godsend" that allowed him to completely eliminate his painkiller habit, which included 100 Percocet pills a month. McMahon has been active in speaking about his experience using cannabis, serving as spokesperson for the Cannabis Sports Policy Project and a member of the Gridiron Cannabis Coalition along with several other former NFL players. In November 2016, McMahon signed an open letter addressed to the NFL, urging a change in the league's policy towards cannabis.

His body took the toll of fifteen seasons as a professional football player, and in order to recover from intense injuries like concussions and broken necks, he needs a powerful cure.

Gary's CBD discovery started out as a selfish journey looking to help his CrossFit Master Competition career but then discovered that his daughter had a dependency on opiates that lead her down a path of using heroin. He realized that this plant could help her overcome her addiction but , sadly the law and legislation were not on his side, and before he could get a cannabis product that was safe and viable, she lost her battle, losing her life. She was on life support until her 27th birthday. That day Gary and his wife decided to let her go. His daughter was someone who always wanted to help others, which showed even after her death. To their surprise, his daughter was an organ donor, and she saved someone else's life with her own. At that point, Gary's relationship with CBD and Cannabis changed to one of helping others in addiction with a particular focus on providing help to his fellow brothers and sisters in the fire department, many of whom face problems with PTSD and associated depression.

How do you channel loss into purpose, and how can healing be gleaned from that sense of purpose? These are among the questions that Pam and Gary Roberts had to explore upon losing their daughter — who, after a car accident, struggled with an addiction to opioids and pain medication — at age 27. Their daughter's experience in Florida rehab facilities — where Pam and Gary say patients were ping-ponged, by design, between rehab and halfway houses as part of a “terrible cycle” — opened their eyes to the need for more holistic addiction treatments. And as a firefighter and crossfitter, Gary saw similar needs for natural antidotes to pain in his personal and professional communities. That's why today, the couple is finding healing both for themselves and others through the medicinal uses of hemp, cannabis and CBD. As the owners of Pure Body Zen, Pam and Gary bring superior-quality CBD to U.S. markets. As the hosts of the Pure Body Zen Podcast, they fight misinformation and myths about these natural substances and shed light on their medicinal value.
