Is cannabis medicine, wellness, recreation… or all three?
In Episode 129 of The Elevated News Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Amanda Reiman, PhD, MSW, cannabis researcher, policy expert, former Drug Policy Alliance leader, and founder of Personal Plants, for one of the most balanced and honest conversations we have ever had about cannabis.
We break down:
• The real risks of cannabis use
• What a THC overdose actually is
• Medical vs wellness vs recreational use
• Minimum effective dose and why most people over consume
• Cannabis and mental health
• Why U.S. research is so limited
• Capitalism, corporatization, and the future of legalization
• How stories change laws
• Why legalization is not perfect but still better than prohibition
Dr. Reiman brings a rare middle ground perspective. Cannabis has powerful benefits, but it also has risks. The key is mindful use.
If you care about cannabis policy, health, harm reduction, or the future of legalization, this is a must watch episode.
