The use of cannabis and CBD products is becoming a hot topic in a growing number of sports as athletes look for alternatives to often addictive painkillers. In this week’s episode, we discuss the latest developments in a sporting world that is slowly beginning to embrace the potential of cannabis.

Today, we mark the 50th anniversary of the UK’s Misuse of Drugs Act (1971) which, for half a century, has been used as a failed deterrent to drug use with serious implications on the country’s citizens. As we reluctantly welcome this significant milestone, Canex is taking a look at the legacy of this failed legislation and attempting to amplify increasing calls for reform.

In honour of Mental Health Awareness Week 2021, we have been discussing how cannabis products, including CBD, could potentially benefit our mental health. We discuss access to medical cannabis in the UK and the growing popularity of CBD to aid with mental health conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Mental health awareness has grown significantly since the launch of the event in 2000, however, there is still a long way to go – with the chaos and difficulty of the past year accentuating that fact. In this time, many of us will have realised our deep connection to nature and how this can play an important role in our mental health.

To kick off the week, we will be starting with one of the most common mental health problems in the UK – Anxiety. We will be looking at the evidence – both clinical and anecdotal – to gain a better understanding of how CBD and cannabis are currently being used to help manage the symptoms of anxiety.

Today, we will be taking a look at how CBD and cannabis can impact our sleep and how many users are utilising the plant and its derivatives to aid with insomnia and other sleep conditions.

On our latest episode, we take a deep dive into the growing trend of micro dosing. We discuss the history of the alternative health movement, and question whether micro-dosing cannabinoids like CBD and THC can be beneficial for our wellness.
