Really? no, Really?

Rethinking Cannabis: What Science Tells Us About Legalized Marijuana


Listen Later

As of November 2024, recreational cannabis is legal in 24 states and it’s available medically or decriminalized in an additional 20. Clearly, the floodgates have opened, and the normalization of marijuana’s positive efficacy has taken hold. But what do we really know about the effects of pot?

Is there science-based evidence demonstrating what happens after long-term consumption? Is it true that teen emergency room visits are up, suicides and psychotic episodes are up, and schizophrenia is perhaps caused by cannabis? These became very personal questions when Peter realized he had become addicted to cannabis during the pandemic and struggled to stop.

Dr. Bertha Madras, the Director of the Laboratory of Addiction Neurobiology at McLean Hospital, professor of psychobiology at Harvard Medical School and one of nation’s leading experts on marijuana provided answers to all of Jason and Peter’s questions. And if you smoke pot or know someone who does… you may be surprised and shocked by what you’re about to find out. Really, no Really!

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • With unprecedented THC levels, marijuana is way more addictive than you think.
  • Has cannabis’ use as a pain reliever been oversold?
  • Marijuana vs alcohol, the negatives will surprise you.
  • Everything in your legally dispensed cannabis you didn’t know about.
