In a thought-provoking and enlightening episode of Keep the Promise, I sit down once again with Stephanie White, host of the Five After Midnight podcast. This time, our focus is on a topic that sparks both curiosity and controversy within the fire service: medical marijuana.

Stephanie and I dive deep into the discussion, shedding light on the potential benefits of medical marijuana as a safer alternative to alcohol and opioids. We uncover intriguing facts, that highlight its promising potential for pain management and stress relief among firefighters.

But our conversation doesn't stop there. We explore how cannabis can play a crucial role in helping firefighters transition from the intense fight-or-flight mode that accompanies multiple shifts at the firehouse. Stephanie shares her valuable insights on the importance of departments establishing clear policies regarding medical marijuana use, ensuring accountability among firefighters and safeguarding the privileges granted.

Join us for an episode that challenges preconceptions, encourages open dialogue, and provides a nuanced perspective on an evolving topic within the fire service. Discover how medical marijuana can be an avenue for improved well-being and enhanced mental health for firefighters, while also recognizing the responsibility we have to protect this privilege for ourselves and future generations.
