202 Prescription-Grade THC-Free CBD for Pain, Anxiety, and Sleep: Pulak Sharma on Cope Now Host Marie Betcher, RN and former hospice nurse, interviews Pulak Sharma, founder of Kazmira and creator of Cope Now, a vertically integrated telemedicine, compounding pharmacy, and manufacturing platform providing prescription, pharmaceutical-grade THC-free CBD. Sharma explains their CGMP-validated hemp extraction and purification process, compounding into an oral tincture in three strengths, delivery to patients, and development of a shelf-stable nano-emulsion. He says patients most commonly seek help for anxiety and pain, and notes many consumer CBD products are underdosed, citing therapeutic ranges of roughly 200–400 mg/day and typical prescribing around 300 mg/day, with protocols for titration and liver enzyme concerns. They discuss CBD's non-scheduled status, lower side-effect profile compared with opioids/benzodiazepines, clinician and pharmacist oversight for dosing and interactions, and batch testing showing non-detect THC to avoid psychoactive effects and THC-positive urine tests. 00:00 Welcome and Disclaimer 00:29 Meet the Guest and Episode Focus 02:07 How Cope Now Works 03:06 Product Formats and Strengths 03:53 Top Uses and Proper Dosing 05:25 Hospice Needs and Opioid Alternatives 08:52 Titration and Daily Timing 12:04 Telemedicine Intake and Prescribing 13:32 Founder Story and Older Patients 16:14 Closing the Guidance Gap 17:59 Addiction and THC Free Assurance 20:47 Standardizing CBD as Medicine 23:42 Final Thanks and Subscribe https://copenow.com/ If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.

TruthBeerPod's mascot, Hondo, hung out with us while Brittany made her Deathmatch pick for Week 2. Gnome spoke to us from the ether, but he didn't seem to be able to hear us.

(2015) Savage argues that marijuana is more dangerous than tobacco, citing claims that marijuana smoke contains much higher levels of ammonia and other carcinogenic chemicals than tobacco smoke and that users may inhale heavy metals such as mercury He contends THC is fat-soluble and lingers in the body, criticizes "medical marijuana" rationales, and says vaporizers reduce toxins but still harm the brain and performance. He explains how marijuana impairs focus, skills, and life outcomes.
Welcome back, kids. Your eyes are red, your mouth is dry, and suddenly that cheesecake you don't even like sounds pretty fucking good. What's up with that?This week, we're getting into three cannabis experiences most of us know a little too well: red eyes, cottonmouth, and wanting to eat everything in sight. We talk about THC, CB1 receptors, and what might be going on behind those familiar feelings—with a few personal stories and the occasional tangent. Because of course there are tangents.We're also comparing our experiences with flower, carts, and edibles, talking about snacks that actually leave us satisfied, and getting into why “sativa for the day, indica for the night” doesn't tell the whole story. Pay attention to your own experience, guys. Somebody else loving a strain doesn't mean it's going to hit you the same way.In this episode:00:15 — Red eyes, dry mouth, and eating everything in sight01:29 — What's happening when your eyes get red?07:21 — Cottonmouth and the conversation around CB1 receptors10:49 — Our dry-mouth experiences with edibles, carts, and flower14:48 — Am I hungry, or do Doritos just sound amazing?17:48 — Munchie food that doesn't leave us feeling like shit25:44 — Moving beyond indica and sativa labels30:02 — Potential effects, personal experiences, and cannabis assumptions31:14 — Getting more intentional about what you're buying35:16 — Your questions and what's coming nextWhat gives you the worst cottonmouth?

Ed Rosenthal wrote the grow book that changed everything. Then the feds arrested him. This is the full story.Ed Rosenthal has been in this longer than the modern cannabis industry has existed. He wrote his first grow book in 1973, co-founded High Times, and watched the New York Times review the guide that taught a generation how to grow. Then, in 2002, the federal government arrested him for doing exactly what the city of Oakland had officially asked him to do: grow cannabis for medical patients. The trial that followed became one of the most extraordinary legal moments in cannabis history, and Ed has never stopped since.In this episode, Ed walks through the full arc: growing up in the Bronx with no clear direction, discovering cannabis at 21 and knowing immediately it was going to be a lifelong relationship, building the first grow tents, co-founding High Times, and writing the books that shaped how American growers think about cultivation. He goes deep on his 2002 federal trial, including why the jury was never allowed to hear that Oakland had deputized him, and what happened when nine of those jurors came back three days after the verdict to hold a press conference saying they were duped, slimed, and felt dirty. He then shifts to where the plant is going: breeding cultivars specifically designed for the coming consumption lounge era, preserving landrace genetics in the Arunachal Pradesh region of India, and the science of transferring THC-producing genes directly to yeast for industrial concentrate production.Good PizzZa episode 200 exists to document the real history of cannabis culture.

Tayane Porfírio foi pega no exame antidoping depois de conquistar a prata em um campeonato mundial de jiu-jitsu por THC acima do limite permitido, mas a história é mais complexa do que a manchete “atleta é pega com maconha”. Tayane, que toma CBD desde 2021 para lidar com ansiedade, acabou consumindo, na véspera da competição, um óleo que continha THC, e daí todo o quiprocó. No episódio 126 do Cannabis Hoje Pod, a atleta me conta como recebeu a notícia, por que acha que o termo “doping” distorce o que aconteceu e por que considera a proibição do THC no esporte um contrassenso. Falamos também sobre como a planta entrou na sua rotina e sobre a diferença que ela percebe entre a cannabis e os medicamentos que costumava tomar para conseguir competir.Aperta o play para ouvir a história de uma atleta que perdeu uma medalha por causa do THC, mas decidiu que não vai abrir mão da cannabis.***Tayane indicaA Sutil Arte de Ligar o F*da-se - Mark Manson (livro)***Encontre a Tayanehttps://www.instagram.com/tayaneporfiriobjj/***MARCAS APOIADORAS DA 6ª TEMPORADAEssas são marcas que valorizam a comunicação responsável e o jornalismo de excelência como pilares para orientar o desenvolvimento do setor.Tristar Express: https://tristarexpress.com/Farmácia Ephiciência: https://farmaciaephiciencia.com.br/USA Hemp: https://www.usahempbrasil.com/AbecMed: https://abecmed.com.br/Blis: https://appblis.com.br/Farma USA: https://farmausa.com/***Para seguir por dentro dos avanços da cannabis e dos psicodélicosAssine a news: https://cannabishoje.substack.com/Siga no Insta: https://www.instagram.com/cannabishoje/Inscreva-se no Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@cannabishojeAcesse: https://linktr.ee/anitakrepp

In this episode Kevin and Whiz-Bang Willis banter through an anything-goes conversation covering quirky everyday frustrations and ridiculous hypotheticals. They riff on Dad fashion (cargo shorts and polos), ridiculous stadium parking prices, and invent outrageously funny sports team names like the Cincinnati Parking Lot Scammers and the Appalachian Stupiders. The pair detour into mascot disasters (turkeys, possums, sloths), jobs you absolutely can't mess up, and personal anecdotes—Bang's tomato-picking session, his THC cartridge confession, and his wife's rules. The tone is loose, crude, and affectionate, with rapid-fire jokes, nostalgic movie references, and recurring in-jokes that make the episode feel like hanging out with two loud friends.
This week on Respect Life Radio, we welcome Sue Homola, co-author of The Blunt Truth: Ten Things Every Parent Needs to Know About Marijuana. Sue joins us to discuss the changing landscape of marijuana, the dangers of today's high-potency THC products and what parents need to know to protect the health and well-being of their children. Sue is an author and advocate for health-first drug policies. She serves as the State Chairman of the New Hampshire affiliate of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and has firsthand experience with drug policy as a former New Hampshire State Representative and current legislative policy advocate. An Air Force veteran and former state-level hazard mitigation planner, Sue brings her experience in identifying and addressing risks to her work advocating for children, families and communities. In The Blunt Truth, Sue and co-author Dr. Raymond Wiggins explore how today's marijuana differs from what many parents may remember from previous generations. The book examines the rise of high-potency THC products, the accessibility of marijuana in homes, schools and communities, the physiological and psychological risks associated with use and the influence of the growing marijuana industry. Most importantly, it equips parents with information and practical insight to help keep their children drug-free. Tune in for an important conversation about protecting young people, understanding the realities of today's marijuana and empowering parents to make informed decisions for their families.

Text the show! Should conservatives support banning marijuana — or regulate it the same way we regulate alcohol?In this Freedom Friday episode of Common Sense, Chad takes the strongest arguments against marijuana seriously: today's dramatically higher THC potency, addiction and daily use, risks to young people, and the consequences of legalization.Then he asks the question the prohibition argument has trouble answering: If alcohol and tobacco remain legal despite enormous documented harms, why does THC require a ban?Chad breaks down the strongest case for marijuana prohibition — and explains why he believes the evidence actually points toward regulation.Along the way: the alcohol consistency test, the difference between legalization and decriminalization, why excessive cannabis taxes can reactivate the black market prohibition created, the federal government's medical-marijuana contradiction, and the Texas rules that can turn a THC gummy into a felony while small amounts of marijuana flower remain a misdemeanor.This isn't an argument that marijuana is harmless.It's an argument that proving harm and proving the need for prohibition are two very different things.CHAPTERS00:00 Conservatives Want to Ban Weed?01:12 The Strongest Case Against Marijuana05:15 The Potency Problem — and the Obvious Fix09:01 The Alcohol Test12:44 When Does Government Get to Decide?15:19 Legalization vs. Prohibition: What Actually Works?18:59 The Medical Marijuana Contradiction22:51 Regulate THC Like Alcohol25:17 The Conservative Case for FreedomProtect kids.

When states began legalizing recreational cannabis a couple decades ago, 25 million Americans said they used the drug. That number nearly tripled to 70 million by 2023.There are a lot of open questions about how it affects us. Why do some people find more pain relief from THC than traditional painkillers? Is it really better for sleep? What are the effects of long-term use?Host Flora Lichtman is joined by two scientists taking on these kinds of questions: Experimental psychologist Ryan Vandrey, who's studied the health effects of cannabis for 26 years, and neuropsychologist Natasha Wade, who studies the effects of substance abuse on adolescent brains. She recently analyzed data from 11,000 teens to understand how cannabis affects development.Guests:Dr. Ryan Vandrey is an experimental psychologist and professor at the Johns Hopkins University Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit and helps lead the Johns Hopkins Cannabis Science Lab.Dr. Natasha Wade is an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at UC San Diego and licensed clinical neuropsychologist.Transcript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Andrea Martin 2:14 PM (0 minutes ago)to meGas stations are selling synthetic THC products, and the big question is… what the hell are we actually putting in our bodies? In this episode, I'm breaking down the synthetic THC products you see at gas stations, what makes them different from traditional marijuana, and why people need to pay attention to what they're buying.And because this is Stupid People with Pets, I'm tying it all back to our animals too. Because sometimes the choices we make as humans don't just affect us — they can affect the pets living right beside us.No lectures. No bullshit. Just a real conversation about synthetic THC, questionable decisions, and the things we probably should be thinking about before we put them in our bodies.Think for yourself, laugh at yourself, and whatever you do… don't let the comment section raise you.
(Episode #13) Ever felt like you had to shrink yourself down to be understood by the people who love you? In this week's Bitching Hour, we're talking about the tender, confusing work of staying open-hearted while living a life your loved ones can't quite compute — and why detaching from being understood might be the most freeing thing you ever do.This week's call opens in death-and-rebirth territory and becomes a launchpad for a bigger conversation about cyclical endings and why "the program will run until it's complete." Zoey and Brittany read the collective energy of what's actually going on energetically right now, and a longtime community member opens up about the exhausting tightrope of living authentically around people who will never fully get it — and what to do when your boundaries start calcifying into walls.In this episode:(00:00) Brittany's identity death, the THC-festival flashback, and why dying is a constant, not a crisis(07:43) Why "the program will run until it's complete"(15:24) A caller asks what's energetically happening in the world right now — eclipse season, the 1-1 portal, and the difference between urgency and readiness(20:51) Holding intensity and hope at once, the collapse of old systems, and an invitation into a new-earth channeling circle(27:04) A caller opens up about the exhaustion of living authentically around loved ones who don't get it — and where her boundaries have hardened into walls(32:54) Neutrality and planting seeds instead of over-explaining, and detaching from the need to be understood(41:49) Closing remarks, community housekeeping, and where to find Brittany and ZoeyJoin The Bitching Hour for FREE with Zoey and Brittany: jointhebitchinghour.comDid you love this episode?

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Onder Albayram from the Medical University of South Carolina about the role of the endocannabinoid system in brain aging and neuroprotection. A major part of the conversation focuses on the endocannabinoid system. We talk about CB1 receptors, the endogenous ligands anandamide and 2-AG, and the enzymes involved in making and breaking them down. Dr. Albayram explains that this signaling system is widespread in the brain and is important for neuroimmune regulation and neuronal communication. We then cover his aging studies in the hippocampus. He reports that endocannabinoid tone declines with age, with reduced 2-AG and related biosynthetic machinery in old hippocampus, without a compensatory increase in receptor expression. He also describes experiments showing that deleting CB1 receptors improves learning in young animals but impairs performance in old animals. Another key topic is low-dose THC treatment in old mice. He reports that prolonged low-dose THC improved learning and memory in old animals, while reducing performance in young animals. After washout, the older animals still showed improved behavior, along with changes in synaptic proteins and gene expression patterns that shifted toward a younger profile. We also discuss the epigenetic findings. He says THC increased histone acetylation at promoters of anti-aging genes such as BDNF and Klotho after treatment had ended, suggesting longer-lasting regulation. He is now focusing on GABAergic neurons in the hippocampus to identify the specific epigenetic mechanisms involved and how they may relate to age-dependent neurodegenerative disorders.

NDS Chronicles returns with another collection of listener-submitted paranormal testimonies exploring witchcraft, New Age spirituality, Ouija boards, shadow people, haunted locations, strange visions, spiritual warfare, and encounters that challenge the boundaries between the physical and supernatural realms.The episode begins with an extended testimony from longtime listener Spellbound Bear, who describes growing up around intense spiritual experiences after his mother survived a near-death event and developed what appeared to be unusual psychic or clairvoyant abilities. His family eventually became involved with a New Age leader named Darlene, participating in channeling practices that he now believes opened the door to escalating poltergeist activity and frightening entities inside their home.The story ultimately turns toward Christianity, Bible study, Jesus Christ, Hannah and Samuel, and a series of dreams that seemed to correspond with passages of Scripture.The hosts also discuss a strange sighting involving seven lights in the sky, Revelation 9, and a connection the listener's family made to the events of September 11.Next, Michael shares what happened after challenging a Ouija board while drinking with friends. Days later, he wakes to something touching his feet before witnessing a large shadow figure moving through his apartment.Then Joe delivers several paranormal stories, beginning with possible generational witchcraft and a haunting experience while working nights at Nebraska's Strategic Air and Space Museum. The museum story includes unexplained footsteps, metallic noises, paranormal investigators, laser experiments, and a suspended helicopter mysteriously swaying inside the hangar.Things get even stranger when Joe meets a man who claims to see angels in clouds and says he is the reincarnation of Moses. Another encounter involves a mysterious billiards player who identifies himself as the area's “high warlock” before repeatedly shaking Joe's hand and appearing to whisper something after every game.Finally, a powerful THC experience sends Joe into a recurring vision of a laboratory or space station populated by laughing gremlin-like entities. The hosts compare the experience to DMT, machine elves, and other reported psychedelic encounters.What do you think these experiences represent: ghosts, demons, psychological phenomena, spiritual deception, or something else?Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere podcasts are available.► Subscribe for more Biblical analysis, Christian worldview discussions, and conspiracy research through a Biblical lens.00:00 Intro & New NDS Chronicles Theme03:41 Spellbound Bear's Paranormal Upbringing06:33 Near-Death Experience & Clairvoyant Abilities11:49 The New Age Leader & Family Cult15:19 Channeling, Portals & Poltergeist Activity23:50 Seven Lights, Revelation 9 & 9/1125:16 Discovering Christianity & Jesus Christ26:46 Hannah, Samuel & the Recurring Bible Passage35:12 Michael's Ouija Board Story40:11 Shadow Figure in the Apartment41:40 Joe's Paranormal Stories Begin43:33 Generational Witchcraft & Haunting44:26 Haunted Strategic Air and Space Museum49:25 Ghost Hunters & the Moving Helicopter51:38 Meeting the “Reincarnation of Moses”59:12 The High Warlock at the Pool Hall64:26 THC Experience & Space Station Vision67:21 Laughing Gremlins & the Countdown69:25 DMT, Machine Elves & the SupernaturalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad--6389018/support.☠️ Nephilim Death Squad — New episodes 5x/week.Join our Patreon for early access, bonus shows & the private Telegram hive.Subscribe on YouTube & Rumble, follow @NephilimDSquad on X/Instagram, grab merch at toplobsta.com.

The best investors aren't just just identifying great brands. They're identifying shifts in consumer behavior before everyone else sees them.That's the approach Jeff Cantalupo, Founder and Managing Partner of Listen Ventures, has taken throughout his career — from a decade in brand strategy at Leo Burnett to investing in companies including Angel's Envy, Go Brewing, Delta Beverage, and Magic Cactus.Listen starts with the consumer. The firm conducts its own research — from ethnographies and interviews to literal tours of consumers' fridges and freezers — looking for changes in behavior that could create the next big category or brand.One shift Jeff is particularly bullish on is “vice wellness.”Historically, some of the strongest consumer businesses have been built around ritual, identity, and repeat behavior. Now, as wellness becomes increasingly important to consumers, Jeff sees opportunity in products that combine those powerful behaviors with “wellness permission.”In drinks, that's helping fuel what Listen calls the “social beverage” — from non-alcoholic beer to hemp-derived THC and other functional beverages. The thesis isn't that alcohol is disappearing. It's that consumers are becoming more intentional about what they drink for different occasions — and that's creating space for entirely new choices.In this episode, we dig into:• The three types of innovation Jeff looks for: Product, business model, and brand narrative• Why repeat purchase, CAC payback, margins, and unit economics matter more than hype• Why omnichannel capabilities have become table stakes for beverage brands• What Listen saw in Go Brewing, Delta Beverage, and Magic Cactus• Why vertical integration can sometimes create a competitive advantage• What made Angel's Envy investable — and why timing was critical to its success• Why a great consumer business isn't necessarily a venture-backable business• How founders can conduct meaningful consumer research without a big budgetPlus, Jeff shares one deceptively simple branding question he teaches at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management: What business are you actually in?You may sell beer, tequila, or THC seltzer. But the brands that break through often own something bigger — an occasion, a feeling, or a consumer need.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks website (sign up for our newsletter!)Business of Drinks YouTubeBusiness of Drinks LinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

Papa Burger from Dragonfly came in swinging. This flower is soft, sticky, and squishy enough to gum up your grinder, with a smell that starts funky and savory before opening into something sweeter, creamier, and more tropical.At 27.5% THC—with 1% CBG and 0.5% CBC—this is not a strain we'd tell newer consumers to attack like heroes. Go low and slow. For experienced consumers, though, Papa Burger delivers a calm, euphoric experience without completely stealing your focus. It feels heavy enough for relaxing, stretching, post-workout recovery, or winding down, while still leaving some creativity and awareness intact.We also get into:Papa Burger's Donny Burger × Papaya/Modified Bananas lineageIts funky, gassy, creamy, and tropical profileWhy sticky flower can preserve more of the experience you're looking forLimonene, beta-caryophyllene, and the entourage effectUsing temperature-controlled dry-herb vaporizersWhy different consumption methods fit different people and situationsFlower versus carts, distillates, concentrates, and isolatesHow overheating can ruin a cart—and why you don't need to hit that damn blinkerStorage, shelf life, and getting the most from your cannabisWhy asking your budtender about terpenes can help you shop smarterOur verdict: Papa Burger is absolutely worth trying. Just respect the potency, pay attention to how it makes you feel, and don't let somebody else's opinion keep you from exploring a new grower.Have you tried Papa Burger?

Cannabis Industry Is Actively Changing This week on She Blaze, we're getting into three major stories shaking up the cannabis industry. First, Massachusetts regulators are officially auditing THC potency labels — we break down what "compliant" actually means and what happens if your product fails. Then we head to Oklahoma, where medical cannabis manufacturers and distributors will now be required to register with the DEA to keep their state licenses — we get into why this could be a dangerous precedent. Finally, Trulieve just made history as the first U.S. cannabis company to list on the NYSE. We talk through the Nasdaq vs. NYSE difference, why this listing is such a big deal, and how Trulieve pulled it off with a clever corporate restructuring move.
Fed Hemp Ban Looms Season 7 Part 2 kicks off with a packed lineup. We start in Arizona, where a cannabis testing lab has racked up over a year of regulatory violations — including a THC dilution problem and pesticide failures — and somehow is still operating. We ask the question everyone's thinking: why hasn't it been shut down? Next, we head to Florida, where new proposed rules would ban celebrity-backed cannabis products and further restrict advertising, all while the state's $2 billion medical cannabis industry is in serious decline. Then, the Aurora Cannabis vs. Curaleaf beef gets a full breakdown, including Aurora's controversial 2018 securities class action settlement. Our main topic this week: the federal hemp ban set for November 12 is being delayed — but what does that actually mean for the industry? We dig into the carve-out for synthetic cannabinoids, the bipartisan push to regulate (not ban) hemp THC products, and what businesses should be doing right now to prepare.
Texas is Texing again.
Send us Fan MailThe hosts discuss cannabis still not being federally legalized and preview 10 news stories, led by Trump signing HR6500, a one-month hemp deadline extension that they argue punts major decisions until after the election. They say synthetics like THCO and HHC will remain illegal, while CBD-derived delta-8/delta-9 products may continue until December 11, and they anticipate a likely per-serving THC limit and clearer FDA definitions such as “container,” especially for beverages. They describe ongoing compliance burdens for dispensaries, including social-media ad suspensions, state police oversight, and a new 26-question DEA Diversion Control business questionnaire requiring extensive leadership, employee, product, supplier, and shipping details. Other topics include a three-ton cannabis seizure in Illinois highlighting diversion, safety-driven regulation after an Oklahoma extraction explosion, California packaging restrictions signed by Newsom, Trump freeing cannabis prisoners, a DeSantis hemp-money scandal, Nebraska cannabis progress, and a Colorado product linked to liver harm that stayed on shelves over a year.Support the showGet our newsletter: https://bit.ly/3VEn9vu
Dr. Riley Kirk has Dr. Denise Valenti on the podcast to discuss cannabis and driving, cannabis impairment, THC testing, and the challenges of determining whether someone is actually too impaired to drive. They explore why THC levels in the body do not necessarily correspond to impairment and how cannabis can affect vision, peripheral vision, contrast sensitivity, eye movement, balance, and pupil response. They also discuss the limitations of current roadside cannabis testing compared with alcohol testing, including the challenges of using blood THC levels, cognitive tests, and field sobriety tests to determine cannabis impairment. Dr. Valenti explains her work developing technology that could combine multiple sensory measurements to identify impairment more accurately. The conversation also explores how dose, tolerance, consumption method, individual differences, medical conditions, and baseline function can influence impairment and why there is no universal rule for how long someone should wait before driving after consuming cannabis. They discuss Drug Recognition Experts, the need for stronger scientific validation and national standards, and the importance of developing impairment-testing technology that is accurate and free from racial bias. Finally, they discuss cannabis and driving research, harm reduction, the challenges of funding cannabis impairment studies, and why controlled, dose-specific research is needed to better understand the relationship between cannabis, impairment, and road safety.

Jo McGuire is an advocate, policy advisor, speaker, and writer dedicated to safe and drug‑free workplaces, families, and communities. As Executive Director of the National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association (NDASA), she oversees an international membership of professionals in the drug and alcohol testing industry, with a strong focus on safety‑sensitive employees, best practices for workplace drug testing, and high‑quality training programs.Jo was appointed to the Colorado Governor's Task Force to regulate Amendment 64 due to her expertise in workplace marijuana policy. She has represented her industry at the United Nations, the Latin‑American Safe and Drug‑Free Workplace Congress, and in Washington D.C. as a leading advocate for employer rights and public safety.She holds a B.S. in Sociology and Cannabis Studies from Colorado State University–Pueblo, where she was named a distinguished alumni.Jo joins us to explain a critical issue affecting public safety. If raw cannabis is reclassified as a Schedule III drug, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will lose the ability to test safety‑sensitive employees for marijuana use — including airline pilots, air traffic controllers, school bus drivers, truckers, and more.Jo shares her journey from school safety into workplace drug testing, her role on Colorado's Governor's Task Force during Amendment 64, and her advocacy in Washington D.C. She explains why Schedule III classification undermines decades of progress in reducing workplace accidents, how high‑potency marijuana complicates impairment, and why recovery‑friendly workplaces must coexist with drug‑free policies.Listeners will learn:Why DOT's THC testing program is at riskHow legalization trends reversed accident reductionsWhy “responsible use” isn't the issue — impairment isHow federal workers in safety‑sensitive roles could be left unprotectedWhat citizens can do now to demand a safety carve‑outJo also provides specific language listeners can use to contact their representatives and senators to protect transportation safety nationwide.Please send the text/email below to your lawmakers in DC. You can make it your own but this is the basic message.Did you know that when marijuana becomes a Schedule III drug, the U.S. Department of Transportation cannot preserve its federally regulated marijuana-testing program through DOT authority alone if HHS is no longer authorized to include marijuana in its federal testing guidelines and certified laboratory system?That gap must be closed before any final rescheduling rule takes effect for marijuana. The National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association (NDASA) calls on each Senator and Representative to secure an explicit safety carve-out that preserves uninterrupted marijuana testing for every Federally-regulated safety-sensitive position.The stakes are public, not merely administrative. Federal testing protects passengers, schoolchildren, workers, communities, infrastructure, and the traveling public from the consequences of drug-related impairment in aviation, commercial motor vehicles, rail, public transit, and pipeline and hazardous-materials operations. This includes air traffic controllers, pilots, truck drivers, school bus drivers, subway operators, railway engineers and many, MANY more that need to operate unimpaired by substances.Why action is required nowThe Federal drug testing program is legally bound to use only SAMHSA certified labs under the authority of HHS. HHS's current authorized federal workplace panels are expressly framed as panels of Schedule I and II drugs. HHS may not certify the labs to test for any drugs in Schedule III status. If marijuana is transferred to Schedule III and HHS consequently lacks authority to retain it on the federal panel, an HHS-certified laboratory could no longer perform a federally authorized marijuana test even though DOT continues to view marijuana as a safety risk. Without a carve-out, the current transportation safety system will be forced to remove marijuana from the Federal drug testing panel.Please take action NOW to protect America's traveling public!For more information, contact jomcguire@ndasa.com

Episode 555 Boy's night in the sewer gets weird fast — Nick cracks a high-potency THC seltzer live on air and things go sideways from there. A dermatologist trip turns into a full skin-diagnosis breakdown, a caller talks drones, wind vortexes, and DJI surveillance paranoia, and the two of them spiral into a debate about witches, estrogen, and courtroom hormones. Somewhere in the chaos there's a mouse in the walls, a possible ghost, and a guy who allegedly drowned in a barrel of LSD. From there it's pure late-night internet rabbit hole: DLSS5 melting Cloud's face, a Fox News sugar-and-caffeine segment that spirals into accidental child-eating jokes, a melatonin study that might explain everyone's heart problems, a haunted garment factory in Bangladesh, and a "possessed" group of miners in Honduras that turns out to be heatstroke. Value-for-value donations read live, a couple of songs get played (and probably muted later), and the government may or may not show up asking questions.

Welcome back to Cannabis School! Today, Brandon and Jesse review Blue Lobster by Grassroots, an indica-leaning hybrid currently swimming around Utah's medical cannabis market.A member of the Cannabis School community helped make this review possible, so thank you for supporting the show and giving us another strain to break down!Blue Lobster crosses Apples and Bananas with Eye Candy. The batch reviewed comes in around 23% THC, along with minor cannabinoids including CBGA, CBCA, THCV, and CBDA. Once again, it proves that THC percentage is only one small piece of the experience.The container may feel cheap, but the flower inside tells a different story. These popcorn buds are small, dense, squishy, and surprisingly fresh. The aroma and flavor bring sweet fruit, citrus, earth, musk, and a little gas without becoming overly sharp or peppery.The experience is where Blue Lobster really earns its claws.This strain feels calm, euphoric, social, and incredibly present. It quiets the unnecessary noise without completely shutting down the mind. Instead of sending thoughts in every direction, Blue Lobster makes it easier to stay immersed in the conversation or activity directly in front of you.Physically, the body feels relaxed without becoming useless. Both hosts report a major reduction in their usual discomfort during the session, along with very little fidgeting. It may become sleepier with a larger amount, but at a moderate dose it feels surprisingly versatile.Morning, afternoon, conversation, gaming, relaxing, or winding down—this may be an anytime strain for the right consumer. Just remember: the more you consume, the more likely you are to catch what the guys lovingly call “the happy dumbs.”The commonly reported terpene profile includes myrcene, limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and linalool. In this batch, the earthy relaxation and citrus brightness work together beautifully. It settles the body without making the entire room feel dark.The final verdict? Blue Lobster is Brandon's favorite hybrid of 2026 so far. Grassroots has not always been the first brand the guys reach for, but this strain was a genuine surprise—and proof that a discounted bag of popcorn flower can deliver a better experience than products chasing the highest THC number.In this episode:• Reviewing Grassroots Blue Lobster in Utah• Apples and Bananas × Eye Candy genetics• Dense popcorn buds and questionable packaging• THC versus the complete cannabinoid profile• Myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool• Sweet fruit, citrus, earth, and light gas• Calm, euphoric, social, and focused effects• Physical relaxation without immediate couchlock• Why higher THC does not guarantee a better experience• Finding quality cannabis on sale• Utah's broader cannabinoid profiles• Water filters, missing disc-golf equipment, and other detours• A free Cannabis School strain-labeling toolFind everything in one place here:

In this episode, Brian explains the distinction between primary and secondary headaches and breaks down the defining features of the "big three" primary headache types (migraine, cluster, and tension headache)—highlighting how often they are misdiagnosed and how they are treated. He explores the epidemiology of headaches, describing migraine as an invisible disease affecting about 12% of the population, disproportionately affecting women, while cluster headaches more often affect men. He discusses the major gap between demand for headache care and available specialists, and he offers advice on when to see a physician. Brian dives into the multifactorial nature and pathophysiology of migraine, including genetic and hormonal influences, neurovascular changes, and inflammatory signaling, and connects these mechanisms to modern therapies. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the individualized nature of headache disorders and the importance of a detailed headache diary. Brian shares practical strategies for treating headaches including lifestyle changes, medications, and neuromodulation devices. We discuss: Brian's interest in headaches and how Peter met Brian [2:15]; Differentiating the types of headaches: primary versus secondary headache and tension versus migraine headache [7:30]; The epidemiology and burden of migraine, its disproportionate affect on women, and the shortage of headache specialists [20:00]; Genetic susceptibility to migraine and the role of hormones [24:45]; Migraine triggers, the impact of hormones, and the importance of a headache diary [31:15]; The phases of a migraine: premonitory symptoms, aura, the headache itself, and the postdrome [38:15]; Tension headaches: symptoms, causes, and prevalence [41:45]; Cluster headaches: extreme pain, distinctive symptoms, and frequent misdiagnosis as a sinus infection or allergies [43:15]; Lifestyle interventions to prevent headaches [51:15]; Pharmacological treatments to prevent headaches [1:05:00]; What's known about the pathophysiology of migraines: neurovascular changes, release of neuropeptides, and inflammatory response [1:14:45]; CGRP antagonists for the treatment of migraines: large monoclonal antibodies and gepants [1:20:15]; Use of calcium channel blockers and Botox to treat cluster headache and migraine [1:28:30]; Drugs for the acute treatment of migraines [1:32:30]; Treatment of migraines with electrical stimulation devices [1:40:00]; Use of THC or cannabis to treat headaches [1:44:00]; What Brian wants people to know about headaches [1:45:45]; Brian's advice on when to see a doctor about headaches and how to prepare for that visit [1:49:15]; and More.

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss an important paradigm shift in BJJ. We discuss why BJJ practitioners initially get too fixated on making a technique work, but with experience and skill, you will need start to focus more on getting deeper into a position rather than a technique. Why also discuss why you should focus on purely holding position, thinking differently about what a "dominant" position is, "control before position," the best positions to control your opponent in BJJ, how to help less experienced grapplers focus more on position, the importance of keeping a consistent pace as an older grappler, positions older grapplers should be good at and positions to avoid, and watching matches to get inspiration for techniques and positions in BJJ.

A kid walks into the ER because they thought a THC edible was candy, and the package did the lying. That's one of the most unsettling through-lines in my conversation with Luanne Thomas Ewald, chief operating officer at CS Mott Children's Hospital and Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital at University of Michigan Health, recorded at the 2026 Mackinac Policy Conference with the Michigan Health and Hospital Association. Luanne breaks down what's new at Michigan Medicine, including how CS Mott keeps pushing pediatric innovation and measurable outcomes, and why a design choice matters more than a press release: the women's hospital is built within the children's hospital, so high-risk deliveries can move a newborn to specialized care in a one-minute elevator ride instead of an ambulance transfer. We also talk leadership and collaboration across Michigan as she reflects on nearly 34 years in children's health and her role with MHA's Council on Children's Health, where hospitals step away from competition to focus on what's best for kids statewide. We dig into major child health policy issues that don't always make headlines: Medicaid funding threats that squeeze working families caring for children with chronic conditions, and how housing support like Ronald McDonald House Ann Arbor becomes critical when a children's hospital is consistently operating above capacity. If you care about pediatric patient safety, children's hospital capacity, Medicaid policy, or practical regulation that prevents harm, this conversation is for you.

There is an entire content industry built on "biblical archaeology" right now — TV shows, YouTube channels, the House of David series on Amazon, all of it running on big Nephilim energy. Cynthia Shafer-Elliott does not watch any of it, because it makes her yell at the screen. (Her husband, however, likes to watch her watch it.) She is a professor of Hebrew Bible at Baylor and an actual field archaeologist, and here is what she would rather you get excited about: in one of her first seasons at Tel Rehov, in a square she had been working, they found hundreds of ceramic beehives — industrial apiaries. Which means the land of milk and honey had actual honey. Not date syrup, not wild honey. Real, farmed, bee-produced honey. She also personally uncovered a household shrine with a lion's face carved into it, tongue out, human faces cowering under its paws. That one is in the Israel Museum now, and she says hello to it whenever she visits. We got into what "back in Bible times" and "biblical worldview" actually obscure, what household archaeology reveals about women's authority that the text buries, why ancient Israelite religion should always be plural, why lentils deserve more respect than they get, and yes — the residue analysis at Arad confirming THC at an official Israelite worship site. She is one of the four Bible Divas, and all four are coming to Theology Beer Camp. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube About our guest Dr. Cynthia Shafer-Elliott is Professor of Hebrew Bible at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, in the religion department. She holds her PhD from the University of Sheffield, where she studied with Philip Davies, and specializes in Iron Age archaeology of ancient Israel and Judah with sub-specialties in household archaeology, food, and gender. She has excavated at Tel Rehov, Tell Halif, and currently at Tel Abel Beth Maacah in northern Israel — the site of the wise woman of Abel in 2 Samuel 20, who talks a general out of destroying a city. Check out her book: Food in Ancient Judah: Domestic Cooking in the Time of the Hebrew Bible. The Bible Divas Podcast — Cynthia with Jennifer Garcia Bashaw, Anna Sieges, and Angela Parker.

JOIN OUR OPEN ONLINE CLASS: The Empire Christ Couldn't Keep Ever notice how Christian nationalism gets talked about like it's some bizarre new glitch in the faith? It isn't — it's a 2,000-year-old arrangement wearing new clothes, and once you see how the pattern works, you can also spot the Christ who keeps slipping free of it. Join theologian Joerg Rieger and Tripp Fuller for The Christ Empire Couldn't Keep, a free six-week online class tracing the holy alliances, imperial creeds, and stubborn resistance that have shaped Christianity from Paul to the present. You'll get six lectures from Joerg, six live Q&As, weekly readings from his book Christ and Empire, and a community of fellow troublemakers thinking it through together.
