Our third Sleep Series episode tackles the frustrating feat of falling back to sleep after a mid-night wake up. First, we unpack some of the reasons why this could be happening—think: too much scrolling before bed—and then we offer some natural remedies, like taking THC and CBD together to achieve The Entourage Effect. If you’ve already listened to the first and second Sleep Series episodes, you’re in the right place, and we hope you’ll tune in to our latest episode! 

Thank you to our guests Dr. June Chin and Ujin Kim.

Today’s episode is all about the word “marijuana,” a term that many people might not realize is intertwined with a complicated, hurtful, and quite-frankly racist history. If you weren’t aware of the weight the word “marijuana” carries — you’re not alone, and this episode will help shed light on its convoluted past. Our series Weed Words is where each month we unpack a widely recognized but narrowly understood term or phrase related to cannabis.

This week we are joined by Felicia Carbajal, an LA-based community organizer, social entrepreneur, and transformative justice strategist who underwent a life-changing experience at their first dispensary visit in 2008. At a dispensary legalized by California’s Proposition 64, The Adult Use of Marijuana Act, Felicia discovered a holistic treatment plan for their debilitating anxiety and PTSD that enabled them to get off prescription anxiety medication for good. Give this inspiring narration a listen, and you’ll also hear about a bonus first time dispensary visit under Prop 215, the law that legalized medical marijuana in California beginning in 1996. And check out the film Lady Buds wherever you stream movies!
