In this insightful episode, we sat down with Chase Hudson, the founder of HempLucid, to dive deep into the world of cannabis and hemp products. Our conversation covered a wide range of topics, from Cannabis 101 to the fascinating intricacies of the endocannabinoid system, full-spectrum vs. broad-spectrum products, the critical importance of sourcing and quality, and even the emerging synergy between cannabis and functional mushrooms.

Chase Hudson is a founder of Hemplucid. He is dedicated to building a community of people looking for holistic solutions for a healthier lifestyle. He has a vision to help people elevate their health’. His mission to provide transparent and trusted products has led to his company being recognized by organizations such as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and more. 

He lives everyday intuitively and adventurously, and aims to help others do the same. Chase Hudson started his career in the Fire Service. After 8 years in public service he decided to set out as an entrepreneur in 2015. Chase experienced the healing power of CBD and other plant medicines that inspired him to start HempLucid, a USDA Organic certified hemp-derived CBD company. Based in Provo, Utah, HempLucid has grown to become an industry-leading national wellness brand that has inspired thousands to take their health into their own hands. 

Chase and HempLucid invested in a passion project, the film Lamar Odom Reborn. During filming, Chase was introduced to etamine treatments as a modality for treating mental health, addiction, and other issues. Ketamine was so instrumental to Chase in his own healing journey that he wanted to make it available to the people at his company. With his Leadership team at HempLucid, Chase created a Corporate Mental Health Program that provides quarterly ketamine treatments in a clinical setting for interested HempLucid employees. Anecdotal (non-clinical) surveys indicate that these treatments have increased productivity and employees’ perceived well-being.
