Psychosocial Therapeutic Look at Cannabis with Dr. Ronnie Swartz

Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data.This week I am so excited to share my conversation with my colleague Dr. Ronnie Swartz, who is a professor of Social Work at Cal Poly Humboldt. Ronnie and I met through HIIMR and have worked on cannabis-related studies, grants, and public health education together. Because we come from different disciplines, we have different language and windows into the world of cannabis. So in this episode you’ll have the opportunity to learn about concepts like opioid-sparing effects and drug-set-and-setting. And like all other episodes of this podcast, we have so many more ideas for research moving forward. As always, hope you enjoy and make good choices out there.Support the showTo learn more about Dr. Ogle, visit https://www.whitneyogle.comIf you’d like to be guest, have any guest ideas, or have any questions about cannabis and exercise you’d like me to talk about, send me a DM on Instagram @exploringcannabisandexercise  or email me at [email protected]. If you like what I'm up to and want to help me continue to make this podcast happen, you can venmo me @whitney-ogle or  https://www.buzzsprout.com/1966271/supporters/new  Host: Whitney Ogle DPT, PhDIntro Music: Haley Montowski (and producer for Season 1 - thank you Haley!)Music: "Bonfire Cauliflower" by Isaac Joel **Friendly reminder/disclaimer** I am not suggesting everyone use cannabis with exercise. Cannabis is definitely not for everyone.

Make good choices out there.
