Welcome to The Chronically Human Podcast Ep. 36 Our guest today is Dr. Peter Grinspoon. He is a primary care doctor in Boston, teaches at Harvard Medical School, is the author of “Free Refills”, a book detailing his addiction and recovery with pain pills, and he is an advocate for legalizing and utilizing Cannabis as Medicine. (At the 38 minute mark we had an issue with the audio. There is an echo or reverb when Dr. Grinspoon speaks. I apologize for this. We’ve left that portion of the conversation in because it's full of great information even though the audio isn't perfect) We have a great discussion about his unique perspective on the perceived opioid crisis, his take on how the government’s response to reducing opioid overdose deaths has negatively impacted people in chronic pain, and his work advocating for the use of Medical Cannabis. He explains why the current "Reefer Madness" proponents are wrong and exposes who the institutional forces are that are working to keep Cannabis illegal. We also talk about his father Dr. Lester Grinspoon and his pionnering work advocating for Cannabis and psychedelics. https://www.petergrinspoon.com Dr. Peter Grinspoon's Book "Free Refills" https://www.amazon.com/Free-Refills-Doctor-Confronts-Addiction-ebook/dp/B00Z7J7BEM You can find Peter's artciles on The Opioid Crisis, Medical Cannabis and Health and Wellness at the Harvard Medical School's Blog https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/author/pgrinspoon Follow Peter on Twitter: @Peter_Grinspoon Peter is an active member of "Doctors For Cannabis Regulation" which is an organziation of Doctors who are working to legalize Cannabis and educate other healthcare professionals about using Cannabis as medicine. https://dfcr.org I exercise my health freedom by consuming Kratom.

I apologize for the quality of the audio in the last 20 minutes. The Skype connection went in and out and we weren’t aware of the reverb/echo issue until we re-listened to the conversation. I wasn’t able to fix it. I decided to leave it in even with the audio issue because Peter provided a lot of great information. I understand audio quality is important and we strive to do our best to present useful information in the best possible way.

Thank you for joining us today. My name is Brad Miller and this is The Chronically Human Podcast where we have discussion aimed at creating a better world with more individual freedom and less unnecessary suffering. Our guests today are Brandon Ash and his Mother Ginger Ash. Brandon has suffered from a severe case of Crohn’s disease for over twenty years, he shares his story about how this terrible disease destroyed his life, how the medical establishment didn’t have the answers to help him and how he got his life back by using Medical Cannabis and Kratom. Ginger shares her story of what its like being a mother with a son with a terrible chronic illness, how painful it was for her to see her son’s life destroyed by it, her original opposition to Brandon when he’d started using Cannabis and how she now will tell anyone who will stand still long enough about her son’s amazing transformation from sick and suffering to being healthier and happier than he’s been in over twenty years. I really enjoyed the conversation with Brandon and Ginger because it is something I can relate to. I was diagnosed at age 11 with a severe case of Ulcerative Colitis. None of the treatments worked for me so I had to have my entire colon removed. Since then I’ve had multiple surgeries, tens of hospital stays and over a hundred doctors visits. And during the last thirty years my mom has been a huge advocate for me as well. I exercise my health freedom by using Kratom and CBD oil to help manage my chronic pain. The only Kratom I trust is Urban Ice Organics. I would recommend everyone do their own research to see if its right for you. If you’ve decided to take Kratom you should get the cleanest and highest quality you can find, and for me that’s Urban Ice Organics. They also offer an amazing CBD oil as well.

Pat Anson of The Pain News Network is our guest today. The Pain News Network is a media outlet that covers the political and personal side of pain. Unfortunately millions of people in America are being undertreated or denied treatment for pain. A big reason for that is the CDC guidelines that came out in 2016. We discuss the origins of those guidelines and also the most recent comments by the FDA and CDC regarding them. Pat and I discuss Medical Marijuana and also Kratom as solutions some people are turning to for pain relief. Pat had a great point during the conversation : that even if you are not in pain now one day you could be and that makes this an issue that is really important for us all. Check out Pain News Network here: https://www.painnewsnetwork.org Twitter: @PainNewsNetwork I exercise my health freedom by using Kratom to help with my chronic pain. After years of research the only brand I trust is Urban Ice Organics. You can find them at https://naturalorganix.com The owners of Urban Ice Organics are the producers of the Documentary “A leaf of Faith” directed by Chris Bell, they are the brand that Chris Bell gave to Joe Rogan during his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience and they test all their Kratom to ensure there aren’t any heavy metals, salmonella and other adulterants in it. Having been chronically ill all my life I am very cautious about what I put in my body and before I found Urban Ice Organics I was hesitant to try Kratom, not because I thought Kratom was unsafe (according to my research) but because I couldn’t find a reputable source. I thank God I found Urban Ice Organics. You can use the promo code "ChronicallyHuman20" at check out to get 20% at checkout. I urge everyone to do their own research.

Josh Bloom is researcher, journalist, scientist and President of the American Council on Science and Health, which describes itself as a pro-science consumer advocacy group that goes after what they think is bad science. Josh and I don’t agree on many issues but we do agree that the government’s response to the so-called opioid crisis has left millions of people in chronic pain suffering unnecessarily. Josh has done a lot of great work debunking the CDC’s numbers relating to the opioid crisis and exposing how as more draconian measures are instituted to restrict access to pain medicines - more people in pain are suffering and more people are dying of overdose. We talk about the real cause of the opioid crisis and how those in power and those who seek to benefit from that power have manipulated the data to present a false narrative to the American people. This is very emotional issue for me since I’ve been in chronic pain for over thirty years and have seen first hand how people in pain are treated in the current environment of opioid hysteria. I exercise my health freedom by taking Kratom for my chronic pain. Kratom isn’t for everyone and I recommend everyone do their own research to see if its right them. Thats exactly what I did and I found it extremely helpful for helping improve my over well being and help with the pain. The only Kratom I trust is from Urban Ice Organics which you can find at: https://naturalorganix.com Use the promo code “ChronciallyHuman20 with no spaces - to get 20% off your next order. Urban Ice Organics now offers a great Full Spectrum CBD oil as well. In May we will be offering a giveaway of one free bottle of CBD oil plus two blisters packs of the three strains of Urban Ice Organics.

This is the analogy that I wanted to make when Josh was talking about Fentanyl being a unique event in American history. In reality Prohibition creates predictable and negative results. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_prohibition I don’t agree with Josh on many topics but we do agree on how it's truly terrible how those in pain are being treated today and its our own government wh

Peter C. Earle is a former trader and global financial analyst on Wall Street, an Austrian Economist, and Research Fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research He is also the author of the book "A Century of Anarchy: Neutral Moresnet - Through The Revisionist Lens" (it's a short book but its vital for everyone who cares about the cause of liberty and the E-book versison - which I purchased - is currnetly only $2.99 on Amazon!) https://www.amazon.com/Century-Anarchy-Neutral-Moresnet-Revisionist-ebook/dp/B00KB6DLUO We spend a good part of our conversation talking about the fascinating story of Neutral Moresnet. It was a tiny territory in Europe that for over a hundred years, demonstrated that when people are left alone, an emergent order of peace and prosperity can be created, through voluntary cooperation without the need of a central authority. He discusses how Moresnet came into existence, the unique competing systems of justice its citizens utilized, what led to the destruction of this beautiful accidental experiment in anarchy, and the lessons this forgotten chapter of history can teach us today. The Story of Moresnet is one that everyone who is interested in discovering real life examples of peaceful anarchy in action, should be familiar with. Pete reminds us as well that Anarchy doesn't mean the absence of rules it simply means the absence of rulers. Neutral Moresent is an example of what can happen when people are alone and in peace. Pete also gives his thoughts on the current resurgence of Socialist thought, the power of decentralization to create more freedom and his common sense approach to spreading the ideas of individual liberty, peace and prosperity to others. Pete is a very optimistic about the future and gives examples that support his belief. Check out his great articles about freedom, anarchy and economic issues here: https://www.aier.org/staff/peter-c-earle I exercise my personal freedom by taking Kratom.

Kelly Dunn is the owner of Urban Ice Organics. It’s the fastest growing Kratom company in the country and for good reason. They lab test all of their products and they adhere to Good Manufacturing Practices. Urban Ice Organics is the only brand that I trust. https://naturalorganix.com We talk about the science and safety of Kratom, the current state of the Kratom industry and the personal reasons why he produced the documentary “A Leaf Of Faith”. Kelly discusses why he uses Kratom, the growing number of people who are using it to improve their health and wellbeing and why its important to keep Kratom legal. Kelly is doing a lot to keep Kratom legal and to find out the truth about it. He supports the Scientific Research on Kratom by the University of Florida and he’s working on a sequel to “A Leaf of Faith". I firmly believe that the documentary "A Leaf Of Faith" played a huge role in helping to keep Kratom Legal. You can check out A Leaf of Faith on Netflix, you can purchase a DVD of the documentary or watch it on iTunes. https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/a-leaf-of-faith/id1367790093 You can follow them on Twitter @UI_Organics @Leaf_Of_Faith On Instagram @ui_organics On Facebook https://www.facebook.com/UIOrganics/ During our conversation we also spoke about the work that The American Kratom Association is doing to keep Kratom Legal. Their site is a great way to learn more about Kratom. If you already use Kratom and it helps you please considering supportering their work. https://www.americankratom.org I found Urban Ice Organics after more than a year of research on Kratom. I made my final decision to try their brand after watching Chris Bell, the Director of “A Leaf of Faith” discuss and share Kratom with Joe Rogan, on his podcast back in 2016 and I’m glad I did. It’s had a very positive effect on my life. Neither of us are doctors and our conversation shouldn’t be construed as medical advice. Personally, I use Urban Ice Organics Kratom everyday to help manage my chronic pain. If you choose to take Kratom I recommend buying Urban Ice Organics.
