Good Dudes Grow

When we think of CBD and cannabis, we think of oils, gels, gummies, etc… but there are those out there who are taking the world of cannabis products to unprecedented and very tasty heights.

Chef Keven Lee is the owner of CKL Events and a private chef with decades of experience creating culinary masterpieces in the food capitals of the world. He now focuses his work on putting together memorable, healthy and unique dishes for his private clients and events of all kinds. Cooking with CBD and cannabis products is a particular passion of Chef Keven's, and he is using his art to educate others about the oft-overlooked benefits of cannabis.

On this episode of the Good Dudes Grow podcast, Gary and Chef Keven dig into the birth of Keven's culinary career, the quirky, thriving universe of events like Burning Man, how creativity and artistry factor into every one of Keven's dishes (whether they're infused with CBD or not), and the secrets of restoring your body's equilibrium to eliminate those health highs and lows. Listen in for an interview that will stimulate your creativity and give you a whole new outlook on your favorite treats.

What You'll Learn:

• How Chef Keven amassed and leveraged culinary knowledge and experience from some of the most prestigious environments around the world
• Why cooking with cannabis comes down to more than just basic brownies or cookies, and how Chef Keven elevates all of his dishes to astronomical levels of flavor and texture
• What the general public needs to know about the reality of cannabis in contrast to its scandalous reputation, and why almost anything can be healthy if you use it correctly
• And much more:

Favorite Quote:

"Look at the things that you're ingesting and consuming and enjoy it for what it is and think about it. Think about, "Do I need this or do I want this, and in what portion do I want this?" Everything can be healthy, it's how you make it healthy - how do you make it work for your system?"

When physicians recognize the power of (and need for) CBD, big things can happen. Just ask Dr. Mary Clifton.

A board-certified and licensed internal medicine doctor in Manhattan, Dr. Clifton is also a noted CBD and Cannabis expert. She's the best-selling author of "The Grass Is Greener: Medical Marijuana, THC & CBD Oil: Reversing Chronic Pain, Inflammation and Disease," founder of CBDandCannabisInfo.com, and she's also the creator of "The Cannabinoid Protocol," a highly respected professional certification course. Earlier in her career, though, there was a time when Dr. Clifton "knew nothing" about CBD and Cannabis. She'd had patients report positive experiences with both, but within her practice, she was "basically staying in my lane," she says. Until the hospice experiences of her brother and a close friend, who died within three months of each other, indicated to her that CBD and Cannabis could be helpful end-of-life medicines. So, she started researching.

"As a doctor, you have to read an hour a day, every day, if you're going to maintain the level of expertise you need to maintain. I've been reading over my whole career, and I'd never read any of this. I thought, if I'm in this position, there's a whole bunch of other doctors in this position, too."

You might say Anthony Pagliaro has done a little of everything. He has been a volunteer firefighter and an EMT. A medical assistant, a phlebotomist, and a registered nurse. A nutritionist, a personal trainer, and a wellness coach. An MMA fighter and an Air Force vet. And he's also an actor and a stuntman, with credits that include work as Chris Pratt's stand-in. As he goes from one challenge to the next, what's the one thing that helps him maximize his body and mind? CBD. But that wasn't always the case.

"I never believed in CBD," he recalls. "I never believed in the whole 'marijuana's going to save you' this and that. I thought of it as 'You're getting high. Leave me the h*** alone."

As a pro fighter and nurse who was used to getting randomly drug tested, Anthony wasn't interested. Until his work within the wellness space ultimately changed his mind and opened his eyes to the healing powers of CBD.

On this episode of Good Dudes Grow, Gary, and Anthony talk about the need to keep not only your body but your mind sharp as a fighter, how Anthony came to advocate for CBD as a tool for wellness, and what some of his best "backstage" stories from acting are (hint: they star the drinking talents of a couple of notable actors).

What You'll Learn:

• How Arby kicked his pharmaceutical addiction
• How we can ensure the plant stays in the people's hands (and not in Big Pharma's)
• Why Arby thinks the hemp industry can help solve some of the planet's climate problems
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

"Being a nutritionist, being a wellness coach, being a nurse, I'm there to help. But if I can get your mindset there before doing anything else, everything else is going to fall in place. Because you can be doing an exercise, I can be teaching an exercise, and you could be doing it — or you could be really doing it." Anthony Pagliaro

Dr. Jacob Vigil was coming up for tenure at the University of New Mexico, where he still works as an Associate Professor of Psychology, when he decided to take a step back and truly take stock of his life's impact.

"I started to look at my own work and a lot of the work around me, and it didn't seem like a lot of those efforts were actually amounting to improvements in our society," he recalls. "I looked in the mirror and thought that I could do more than I'm currently doing. And at that time, I also opened my eyes to all the suffering that was taking place around me."

Everywhere he looked, Dr. Vigil saw pain, in his community and in society. Specifically, he saw a lot of what he calls "secondary victimization" — or a lack of efficacy from traditional pharmaceuticals, as well as the harm that comes from the culture of dependency they've created. There had to be another way to relieve pain more holistically, he thought. That's when he decided to dive deeper into studying cannabis.

Today a noted cannabis researcher, Director of the Medical Cannabis Research Fund and creator of the Cannabis Connection University, Dr. Vigil shares resources and education around a topic that's been underpriortized by other academics. On this episode of Good Dudes Grow, Gary hears from Dr. Vigil about what some of those learnings are, and how they can be applied to treat everything from anxiety and depression to insomnia and chronic pain.

What You'll Learn:

• Why Dr. Vigil calls cannabis a "super medication" and an "existential threat to the pharmaceutical industry"
• What impact cannabis has on the endocannabinoid system (and what exactly that means)
• Why big pharma isn't empowering people to take responsibility for their own health
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

"I don't know how we got to this place in society where our own decision making over the most basic elements of our existence, like our health, has been stripped away from us. It's almost like we've been tricked into not thinking for ourselves and using common sense." Dr. Jacob Vigil

As a youth, were you taught that cannabis is bad? Why is this negative stigma still around, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that cannabis is not harmful? Even though alcohol and tobacco result in hundreds of thousands of deaths around the world, their legality is never questioned in the same way.

On this episode of "Good Dude's Grow", Gary talks to Tommy Chong. Tommy Chong is a Canadian-American actor, director, writer, musician, comedian, and cannabis rights activist. He is widely recognized for his partnership with fellow comedian and actor Richard 'Cheech' Marin. He was honored with the 'High Times Lifetime Achievement Award' in 2013.

Gary and Tommy talked about Tommy's early life story and how he got into advocating for cannabis rights around the world. Tune in for an episode that will enlighten your perspective about this healing plant.

What You'll Learn:

• Tommy's thoughts on the legality of cannabis and what is its current progress towards legalization
• What did Tommy discover during his research on cannabis and how this plant benefits the body
• How cannabis, alcohol, and cigarette vary from one another and how do they differentiate in their effects on the body
• And much more!

Imagine yourself on a vacation - the vacation you've always wanted after so many hard days of work expecting all the good stuff - good food, great friends, and a relaxing evening out. Then all of a sudden, an unknown incident happens that causes a major injury to you. A care-free vacation that turns into a disaster.

Elana Frankel is the founder of indigonandhaze.com, author of the book, "Women and Weed", and the editor-in-chief of the magazine, "Women and Weed".

Above all these, she is also a mother of two.

On this episode of Good Dudes Grow, Gary and Elana talked about the traumatic incident which led to a brain injury that happened to Elana when she was on a vacation and how cannabis helped her to get back on her feet. Listen in for an episode that will demystify the therapeutic effects of cannabis.

What You'll Learn:

• How CBD became the alternative medication for Elana's injuries and how it differs with the other medications in terms of effectiveness and rapidness of it to take effect
• What were the things Elana did to change her thoughts about using CBD to treat her brain injury and how it change the way she looks at cannabis now
• What are the things Elana is up to now - and how the incident influenced the stuff she's been doing these days on magazine directing and as a yoga / meditation teacher
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

"The plant is really about a holistic approach to living. So what I love about being a yoga and meditation teacher as well as a cannabis advocate is that if you change your lifestyle and include the plant, you'll see even more faster major changes and that the plant combination is beautiful. There are so many times that I have combined CBD and meditation classes and the people just leave completely shifted and changed." Elana Frankel

Ever been told that professional sports and cannabis don't mix? Stigmas are hard to break, but CBD may well be a better way to manage physical and mental stress for competitive athletes than traditional treatments--and may even be on its way to more widespread acceptance in the NFL, thanks to advocates like Cottreezy.

Cottreezy was born into a football family with a father and uncle who both broke barriers as Black athletes in the NFL. He played for the Minnesota Vikings, the Frankfurt Galaxy/ RHEIN Fire, and the San Diego Chargers. Over the course of a physically-demanding career, Cottreezy's experiences managing injury drew him to explore the benefits of CBD for athletes. Today, he's an expert on cultivating cannabis and is focused on educating people about its benefits and writing and releasing his own music.

On this episode of Good Dudes Grow, Cottreezy and Gary break down the stigma around cannabis to reframe the way we think about sports medicine and athletes' well-being. They discuss how CBD can support health and promote productivity on the field and in other workplaces, and how Cottreezy is leading conversations that he hopes will bring policy reform and culture change to the NFL, and help athletes in every sport thrive. Listen in for an episode that will debunk everything you thought you knew about cannabis in professional sports.

What You'll Learn:

• How CBD can support athletes (and anyone) with pain reduction, injury recovery, PTSD, and anxiety--without clouding your mind
• Why the NFL's double standards for substance use (think opiate prescriptions and alcohol sponsorships alongside the league's strict bans on cannabis use)--do more harm than good
• What Cottreezy is up to today--from his work uniting Black and indigenous cannabis growers to protect the planet, to standing on the frontlines of the BLM movement and indigenous community issues, to releasing new music in 2021 (and why his forthcoming LP is worth the wait)
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

"The stigma of [cannabis use] that people have to understand [...] is that the CBD aspect of it is 100% what you would need [in high pressure situations] because it doesn't relax you. It keeps you sharper. Hell, it even clears you out. The first time I had really good CBD [...] my eyes lifted up. [...] It literally cleared me off. [...] It made me feel like 'I'm back.'"

At just 3 years old, the physical torture of Steven Twohig by his stepmother began. It would instill in him a deep-seated pain that he would carry on into adulthood. Desperately looking for healing, Steven was introduced to shadow work. He knew right away there was something there, and he began to study it in depth. For the next 10 years, Steven would work for world-renowned speaker, Tony Robbins. Studying how Tony operated, Steven continued to practice shadow work on the side. Through his work in the self-help world, he was introduced to ayahuasca. Unfortunately, he couldn't get away to attend a ceremony in Peru.

When Steven and his family moved to Florida, he found that there was an ayahuasca retreat just 45 minutes from his house. So, for the first time, 3 years ago, Steven took an ayahuasca journey. As soon as he returned, he knew he needed to quit his job with Tony in order to start his own integration coaching company. He had discovered that shadow work together with psychedelics created a deeper experience, and he wanted to help others to achieve this. Now, Steven has participated in 25 ayahuasca ceremonies, and he describes it as decades worth of therapy in a few hours. He can't wait for this ancient form of healing to become more widely accepted, so we as a society can tap into its potential.

What You'll Learn:

• How to get started with shadow work.
• How to prepare for a healing journey.
• What it means to integrate your healing.
• And much more!

Gary recently found himself captivated by an episode of the Shawn Ryan Show, where Shawn discussed his psychedelic experience (that episode can be found HERE.) Today, Gary sits down with Shawn to find out what led him to this controversial treatment.

After high school, Shawn didn't have a lot of direction, but he knew he wasn't college material. When a Navy recruiter asked Shawn if he wanted to be a Seal, he looked into it and realized it was probably the best fit for what he wanted to do. After 6 years on Seal Team 8, Shawn transitioned to the CIA, where he spent another 9 years. When he left the agency in 2015, he wasn't in a good space, and had no friends or family around, so he turned to drugs to cope. Things got out of control and Shawn knew he couldn't continue down this road. He started seeing a therapist regularly for a few years, until he moved to another state.

With his tactical training business, Vigilance Elite, picking up, things started to get stressful again. Shawn had also started his own podcast, the Shawn Ryan Show, where he interviewed a lot of his former colleagues. A common theme among them was psychedelic treatment, and the more Shawn heard about it, the more he thought there might be something to this. Still relying on sleep meds, anti anxiety meds, and adderall, Shawn didn't feel present in his life, not to mention the anxiety was still there. So, he decided to make the call. Having done a lot of research on the science behind it, Shawn still was going in as a skeptic. However, he says he came out of it a completely different person, and will forever advocate for this cutting edge treatment.

What You'll Learn:

• Why having clear intentions is key.
• What the psychedelic treatment process looks like.
• How to extend the results of psychedelic treatment.
• And much more!
