What is the research of eating cannabis flower whole without extraction? After a decarb process? Effectively, just decarboxylate the plant material, eat the entire bud, and let the body do the extraction process. Seems more holistic than smoking or extracting. Within the context of severe pain management.

I use it to treat anxiety, insomnia, GERD, pain, and I also use it for weight control, to control cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, to reduce inflammation, nausea, to reduce risk of dementia when I get old, and to protect my cells from the covid variants. I also use it to get high because it's nontoxic and I never get addicted to it. Cannabis combined with medicinal mushrooms and a healthy diet is the ultimate strategy to prevent disease and live longer. There's other plants that have amazing benefits but cannabis just does so much more. I'm doing this in my 30s because I plan to live as long as possible and hopefully receive the treatment to slow or reverse aging if it becomes available in my lifetime, then I'll hopefully be able to keep extending my lifespan and experience the distant future. Doesn't seem extremely likely for this to happen but it's certainly more likely than at any other time in history.

As a disabled veteran I would like to say that this plant has saved my life.

The answer to Neil’s question is a resounding yes! In 2016 I rejected what medicine had to offer me for 5 autoimmune and unrelenting pain. I envied the dead and mourned my waking each morning. I live In Idaho and at 58 when I first tried cannabis in form of FECO out of sheer desperation and found it helpful but traveling to Oregon when i was in the middle of an inflammatory event, was a huge challenge. Things like prickly lettuce, and many different herbs used topical have been amazing for me. I believe based on what has finally worked for me that my vagus nerves was damaged during a double mastectomy . Multiple symptoms in next 12 hours suggest something bad happened to my vagus nerve but in 2001 I don’t know that my doctors knew what it was as they never found reason for gaining 26 pounds over night in the hospital going from size 8 pants to size 18, when I was too sick and power vomiting for hours to even eat. Over time inflammatory event on top of inflammatory event gaining 10-30 pounds in a 24 hr period left me at size 28 pants probably 270-280 I tossed scale at 250 size 24 or 3xxx pants. Thanks to a multitude of plant and mushroom experiments starting low going slow and tracking changes. I have learned to manually do what vagus nerve should do with manipulations, vibration, breathing, and many herbs. I am now 140. Size 6 pants. It requires 3-5 hours of physical theories every day and incorporating many things like humming tapping use of heat pads, layering of clothes to maintain body stability. Many adaptogenicgenic, mushrooms, and herbs are absolutely amazing in their support of my body. In 2016 when I gave up on medicine after 15 years of pure torture I was never under a 7 and daily off the pain chart. (My labor without meds is a 7 on my scale). I now have pain free periods most days, and some pain free days. Plants are amazing and I am totally hooked on herbs. Thank gosh for pub med but information on herbs is still very limited. We need a department of natural medicine to help better research, understand and educate the public about herbs and natural medicines and therapies. Thanks for distracting me from pain and encouraging scientific Experimentation over these years.

Hearing Charlotte's story lead me to research the truth about Cannabis. At 79 I use CBD to help with pain. Thanks to doctor's and their studies my life is better.

Dr Stacie is exactly the kind of voice that is needed in the Cannabis industry. She isn’t speaking through feelings like many I see that are pushing for it being legalized. She articulates her studies very well . We need more people like her in the industry rather than the stereotypical “stoner” who we seem to have the majority of trying to be a voice for the legalization.

I have been using weed for over 50 years. I always wondered how everyone around me was so negative against it, but it has made my life a lot better. I was involved with MMA style activity for about 30 of those years, and have been hit in the head so so many times I couldn't even try to count it. Yet I am reasonably sure it hasn't done me wrong, I would love to donate my body either alive or not to any research about long term effects.

Chuck brings up an important point with the control group. What was done to the Tuskegee Experiment is the still important example of what can be done wrong.

I am a 2 war combat vet, and I can vouch for the therapeutic effects of cannabis on my personal psychology and mitigating PTSD.

I usually indulge when I watch this show anyways, but I found the perfect episode to pair with said indulging

Cannabis is amazing (fibro patient) It's literally the only way I function. What doctors can prescribe for daily use is helpful, but cannabis and lyrica are probably equally helpful to me (cannabis actually probably more) A pain psychologist I was seeing would take notes from me about which strains were helpful so when it's legalized he'd be able to be more helpful to his patients .

I am 2 years post 2 ischemic strokes. I started making and taking a cannabis infused MCT oil. It has improved the quality of my life 100 fold and maybe the primary reason I am still alive to be honest. I need to be dialed in to this research. I was a Field Service Winding Engineer in the Power Generation sector. The strokes left me with LHH (left homonymous hemianopsia) and memory issues and some other adjacent issues. I am trying to get my 70 yr old mother some relief from pain. I went from 1992 the summer of through 2021 without using cannabis due to my career choices. I am aggravated that I was denied the benefits of this miracle plant for so many years. I appreciate your work Dr Gruber and to be fair, I find you terribly charismatic. Easy on the ears and the eyes.

I was just saying to my father last night, before finding this particular episode, what a magical plant it is. Specifically for the seemingly opposite effects it can have; your example of it giving you more energy vs. some other people or some other strains _causing_ lethargy. It is simply amazing.

it's funny cuz your videos are more interesting when I'm blazed

I don't know if I've ever seen such such an honest discussion about the compounds of marijuana and their effects on the human body.

We turn towards cbd so fast because as people of the earth we needed something different from opioid. We need a natural way to be ok. Not have all the medical problems we have today.

I'm over 60 + weed today IS much stronger. I haven't imbibed any marijuana for over 30 yrs. Then got sick & tried sativa heavy edibles for nausea & vomiting during chemo.(NEVER smoked weed. Lungs+ smoke always seemed like a bad plan. The difference in potency is STUNNING. Thank you for sharing KNOWLEDGE!

5-6 mg is around a hit of the REALLY good stuff from back in the day (we're talking sticky crystals), and about a joint of "mexi". Don't forget to give it half an hour to get into the system - like with good brownies, it's easy to over-imbibe with edibles.

It won’t be 100 years at this point. The states are all gradually falling in line after realizing there’s so much money being left on the table, with little to no negative societal effects and a plethora of societal benefits. Not to even mention the savings of millions of dollars no longer arresting, prosecuting, and imprisonments related to it. Republicans are always pretending to be the fiscally responsible ones, but are exclusively that by name only. Too much evidence and proof is in the open now to let them wave that false flag over cannabis now.

Going down a dangerous, fallacious road of appealing to authority - seems like to me.

The former Denver Broncos/Arizona Cardinals QB Jake Plummer was a huge advocate for little Charlotte here in Colorado. He did many episodes of his podcast Jake's Takes about her and the strain named for her plus the helpfulness for players with CTE. She will live on forever and was really able to ACTUALLY live the last years because of a natural substance!!

A really interesting perspective highlighting the medical benefits of cannabis in balance with recreational use. Staci Gruber is a legend

Great show and I'm only halfway through.

My daughter had really bad anxiety and depression we tried so many pills and none worked or they had horrible side affects I started growing her cannabis high CBD very low to no THC and it has changed her life she is such a happy person now and can deal with her anxiety so much better. She still has bad days but they are days not months or weeks

Nice topic, listening to it while smoking my hybrid cannaba-dabba-doo-bie. When she first mentioned Charlotte's Web, i initially thought it was just another fancy hip strain name, but when she explained the story behind it.. wow, that was a rollercoaster, so sad to hear that she still passed away, but hopefully it won't be in vain. But yeah, get off the animal testing ASAP.
