This week on the show I'm talking with Chris Whelan all about cannabis and his company, NamaCBD. Here all about how he's helping people understand the difference between CBD and the pyschoactive part of the plant, THC, and how to explore small doses to achieve different therapeutic effects. In his own words, this is how he describes his journey:  "I spent my free time learning about the hemp (and cannabis) industry, speaking with experts, taking courses, reading everything I could get my hands on, and seeking out a product that would work for me. I sought something natural, clean, and effective. I began implementing hemp into my routine as I took on each new challenge life brought. Whether during the rollercoaster of my college career, the extreme soreness during my long hours of training, or late nights and high stress from my law school and legal career. Although the hemp products I incorporated into my daily routine assisted me in many ways, I was never fully satisfied. Whether it was a certain product's ingredients, the company's mission, or product offering, there was always something that wasn't right. So I created my own."  Check out Nama CBD.

Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:

Healthy men under 65:

No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.

Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:
No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.

One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.

Abstinence from alcohol
Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.

Benefits of “low-risk” drinking
Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work.
