Have You Ever Seen the Health Benefits… of Weed? – PMR #102




Paleo Magazine Radio show

Summary: Episode 102 features Ben Greenfield, host of the top-rated Ben Greenfield podcast and founder of Greenfield Fitness Systems, a company dedicated to innovative equipment, coaching and information for people interested in high-level performance at home, at work, or in competition. In this show, we discuss the potential health risks and benefits of cannabis, a.k.a. weed, and cannabis-derived extracts; the differences between THC and CBD; how CBD could potentially help people suffering from anxiety, seizures and other health issues without the possibly negative health and legal implications of using THC; what strains of cannabis are naturally higher in THC or CBD; proper dosing of THC and CBD for a variety of health and performance effects; and what his own CBD product, Nature CBD, brings to the table in terms of absorption and efficacy. In the second half of the show, Adam Farrah joins us for another installment of Big Picture Paleo. And in keeping with today’s theme, we discuss some of the things he discovered while researching his recent Paleo Magazine feature on the health benefits of cannabis, as well as his own personal experience with medical marijuana. So, put a Paleo pizza in the oven and turn on some Pink Floyd: Paleo Magazine Radio starts now. <a href="https://paleomagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Have-You-Ever-Seen-the-Health-Benefits-of-Weed.pdf" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for full transcript of the show In This Episode You’ll Hear: The potential health risks and benefits of cannabis and cannabis derived extracts The differences between THC and CBD How CBD could potentially help people suffering from anxiety, seizures, and other health issues without the possibly negative health and legal implications of using THC What strains of cannabis are naturally higher in THC or CBD Proper dosing of THC and CBD for a variety of health and performance effects and what his own CBD product, Nature CBD, brings to the table in terms of absorption and efficacy Links &amp; Resources From This Episode Check out Ben’s site,<a href="http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/" target="_blank"> bengreenfieldfitness.com</a> Visit Ben on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BGFitness/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/bengreenfield" target="_blank">Twitter </a>Grab a copy of Ben’s book, <a href="http://amzn.to/1POJFdm" target="_blank">Beyond Training: Mastering Endurance, Health &amp; Life </a>Read Ben's scientific <a href="http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/2014/07/is-weed-healthy/" target="_blank">breakdown of cannabis </a>Check out Ben's original appearance on <a href="https://paleomagonline.com/episode-7-ben-greenfield-and-joe-friel/" target="_blank">PMR</a> Check out Adam's site, <a href="http://adamfarrah.com/" target="_blank">adamfarrah.com</a> Visit Adam on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/adam.farrah" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://instagram.com/adamsfarrah/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamFarrah" target="_blank">Twitter</a> Grab a copy of Adam’s book, <a href="https://paleomagonline.com/shop/books/the-paleo-dieters-missing-link/" target="_blank">The Paleo Dieter's Missing Link</a> Thanks for listening!
