Debunking Myths About the Health Benefits of Cannabis| Really? no, Really?

[@Huddy40]

And you want to be my THC salesman!?

[@sumaiyyaevans9097]

Hahaha

Jason is one of the few people I enjoy listening to on almost any topic

[@reallynoreallypodcast]

We have to agree with you

[@blahqwe]

Right, it's weird as at first I see George and yet after a few minutes I realise he's become a selfless and attentive person. In a world where everyone thinks they can host a podcast, Jason can!

[@colinrussell2017]

Why do I get the feeling this woman blamed heavy metal for society's ills in the 80s? I don't think weed is good for you just like booze or caffeine or sugar isn' t good for you, but this Dr.'s take is so biased it's like Reefer Madness.

[@kcmule]

she CLEARLY has an agenda

[@tomsheldon7058]

I'm not, and never have been a user of marijuana. In general I've never been for it, but I've never been adamantly against it either. I'd be very curious to see a follow up on this, especially from Peter, 6 months, or a year from now to hear him discuss the effects of quitting, or whether or not he continued to no longer use it. Always a great podcast, thank you very much for the work you do.

It's not marijuana, it's cannabis. I don't believe much of anything she said, especially after what she said about alcohol, and over the counter Nsaids, which I cannot take.

I went thru adolescence and early adulthood in the 60s and 70s. Back then it seemed like almost everyone got high. Twenty -some years later is when it became obvious that those of us who had never stopped smoking pot were showing the damage. The term we used was "Fried".

[@kcmule]

I have 3 different brands of sparkling water in my fridge and not one of them has a single lick of sodium in it

I live in CA, where every1 smokes weed. Weed itself isn't bad, addiction is. Take it from me - I've been addicted my whole adult life, and heavy use has messed my brain up and caused permanent damage. Don't listen to hippies and musicians - You are better off abstaining.

Don't mess with my soda! 😆 I drink a Pepsi Zero at lunch and a Coke Zero at dinner. Fight me...

[@Boppsta712]

12:53 So Jason, I wanted to leave a comment regarding the idea that you could simply ask a question without stating that you'd like to ask a question.

[@michaelburke5907]

This woman sounds like a government mouthpiece from the 1930's. REEFER MADNESS! OOOH, SCARY! Excuse me while I fire up a bowl...

[@michaelburke5907]

As a friend of mine once said, it's not a question od need, it's a question of like.

[@DioJeanBaptiste]

short sweet and to the point and funny all the way through. :-)

[@SixSonn]

Jason. the beard is looking quite full and fantastic.

[@hankwillys]

It could be, I’m just saying, it’s possible! She just wants to keep it all for herself.

[@lupinedelusion]

This lady is making Bold claims on misleading stats. Correlation does not imply causation. It is not surprising whatsoever that reported statistics of weed has drastically increased since weed was legalized because people feel they can actually report their use without criminal repercussions. Alcohol use and abuse and hospitalizations still far exceeds weed use and abuse. Weed use has definitely increased because of it's legalization and more people using weed instead of alcohol. Opioids also cause far more hospital problems and damage than weed. Abuse of even over-the-counter medicine like Naproxen and ibuprofen can cause serious or permanent damage with long term use. People with mental health issues are also far more likely to abuse drugs and/or alcohol, particularly those with schizophrenia or pre-existing dispositions for it. This lady's arguments completely ignores the core issues being, proper education of the effects of marijuana and general drug use, education of the dangers that drugs and alcohol of all kinds can posses, the importance of teaching moderation, and the clear need for proper mental health care and help for addictions of all kinds. Not to mention the responsibility of the parent to properly educate their kids. Preaching/teaching total abstinence has never and will never work.

[@colinrussell2017]

I wholeheartedly agree with your comment.

[@victormorales3604]

This expert also said that long term use can promote vomiting and sleeplessness, in all the decades that I've used cannabis daily, I have not experienced either, or. Im sure there are many who have an allergic reaction to cannabis, it is NOT for everyone. How many people have allergic reactions to cheese or alcohol, yet these two items are celebrated worldwide with festivals and events, cannabis however is not.

[@tebald]

I would be interested in her opinion on CBD, that seems to also be a big push with health benefits. LOL, I guess it was asked 24:45 LOL oops, thanks for asking

[@sethaaronson5146]

She’s clearly not entirely wrong as she cites validated science but she’s missing a lot of important information in her argument. Cannabis is the right word, not marijuana. She’s also not pointing out a lot of the obvious facts. While she states Cannabis is highly complex with 700+ compounds, she isn’t stated that it’s one of the least studied medicinal plants while claiming most of the science points to how it doesn’t do what millions of people anecdotally claim it does for them. Half truths are just that, half the truth. There isn’t enough science to definitely state that cannabis itself is inherently bad yet her entire argument throughout the interview makes it clear that’s her position. Not only is cannabis itself not well researched, the way it’s grown is also not well researched. It is known to be a plant that absorbs lots of different things when it’s grown in soil and it’s likely that the quality of cannabis including its nutrients, pesticides, soil absorption etc highly impact the plant quality and we don’t know if cannabis is the culprit or if the toxicity of these other substances is the real reason for the majority of what she cites as negative. And frankly you cannot be the utmost authority having never used it. It’s an entire experience that creates a dataset that’s missing from her knowledge base.

[@steveesposito]

Thank you for venturing into this.

[@Vandanescobar]

Ibuprofen safer than cannabis?? Lol ok no worries lady

[@HlifeRomania91]

Not according to my doctor!

[@HlifeRomania91]

All experts available and you bet fraud smh horrible show really!

[@michaelburke5907]

Ask Kenny Easley...former great player for the Seahawks. NSAIDS caused severe kidney and liver problems for him.
