Rise to Thrive Episode 23: High Vibes "The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world." —Carl Sagan Weed, man. Some people love it, some people love to hate it. Haters aside, we dive into the recreational and therapeutic uses of hemp and cannabis. What's the difference? How do the active compounds, CBD & THC, compare, and which one is more fun? In all seriousness, cannabis has been used for thousands of years for medicinal, spiritual, and recreational purposes and we're pulling back the curtain of the stoner closet to admit that we think weed is pretty groovy, dude. We chat about how marijuana can improve your sex life, spiritual connection, and creativity - as well as discuss the criminalization of pot and times when it may be better to steer clear of stoneyville. Whether you love to inhale or have never tried Mary Jane, have a listen, maybe have a toke, and have some fun with us as we marinate in these high vibes. Next time, we're bringing weed gummies.
