Ep. 23 - My Relationship with Ms. Mary Jane

Hiii you guys!! Today, I am diving deep into my personal relationship with CANNABIS!! As a proud gardener, I'm unpacking how cannabis has helped manage my ADHD, anxiety, depression and pain from my autoimmune symptoms. In this episode, I break down real statistics (sources below) ranging from how marijuana is helping people reduce opioid use to how it holds up next to alcohol when it comes to stigma and safety within society. TW/Disclaimer: This podcast is supposed to be used for entertainment purposes only. I’m not a doctor, therapist, or licensed cannabis professional and I only use legally obtained marijuana in a legalized state. This episode also includes open discussions about mental health, chronic pain, substance use, and addiction-related statistics (including mentions of overdose and death). I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. I LOVE YOU!!! xoxo TT/IG: @jennaangelaaE: [email protected] Credits: FASSounds - Leisure Sources: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (2017)University of Hawaiʻi Medical Cannabis Research Group (2019)Knox, M., et al., 2019, Journal of Substance Use & MisuseBoehnke KF et al., 2022 – Clinical TherapeuticsCDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)WHO (World Health Organization), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)American Addiction CentersNHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)Bureau of Justice Statistics / NIDA
