How's it growing folks? It's your host Eddie Celaya here to delivery a special episode. I can update you with some good (and bad) cannabis news: Maryland and Missouri voters voted to approve recreational adult-use cannabis programs in their respective states.
Plus, five counties in Texas voted to effectively decriminalize cannabis use and halt most enforcement of prohibition within their borders.
Unfortunately, similar adult-use measures in Arkansas, North Dakota and South Dakota were defeated.
I guess that all leads me to this special episode on some of the latest research and findings on cannabis and it’s possible use as a replacement (or a supplement to) opioids.
To learn a little more about the subject, I spoke with Benjamin Land, Research Associate Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Washington.
Our conversation touches on how both opioids and cannabinoids like THC and CBD affect the body, how cannabis might be able to help fight different kinds of pain, and how cannabinoids and opioids might be used in concert with each other.
