Data and numbers are essential to backing up anecdotal evidence, especially when it comes to cannabis medicine. Dr. Jonny Lisano, a cannabis researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder, joins High Minded to explore how cannabinoids like THC and CBD affect pain, sleep, recovery, and overall health. Dr. Lisano shares insights from his latest studies, including how different cannabinoids interact with the body's systems and what the data is revealing about cannabis as a potential therapeutic tool. We also discuss the challenges of conducting cannabis research in a shifting legal and political landscape, and what his findings could mean for athletes, medical patients, and everyday users alike.
