Summary

More than 28 million adults in the US smoke tobacco cigarettes, and research suggests those who want to quit make an average of 30 attempts before they successfully stop smoking. With hemp and cannabis now available in packs of filtered pre-rolls in most states, could tobacco users finally have a stepping stone away from nicotine? And is it really better for your health to switch out smoking one plant for the other?This episode, host Brit Smith talks to three people who try to quit smoking tobacco by switching for either high-CBD or low-THC cigarettes. They cover the recent research into why CBD may help curb nicotine cravings, they discuss their individual experiences with switching their smokes, and whether they think taking part in the experiment could eventually help them kick tobacco for good.First, Brit talks to Mark, a writer who covered his experience switching to smoking hemp in the second issue of Different Leaf Magazine. Then, Brit hears from Madi, a French chef in England who tries Bogart hemp cigarettes as a replacement for rolling tobacco. Finally, Brit chats with Drew in Boston, a veteran who tries switching to Farnsworth Fine Cannabis cigarettes with around 12% THC.Get your cultural issue of Different Leaf magazine at DifferentLeaf.comFollow us on social media @DifferentLeaf and find host Brit Smith @BritTheBritish

    The Last Promise: Duty, Loss, and Healing - With Scott Tatum

    Release Date: 02/26/2024

    Description: Scott Tatum is a seasoned veteran in the fields of emergency medicine and tactical medical support. With over 35 years of experience, Scott's career has spanned the adrenaline-fueled roles of helicopter rescue work, street medic, and currently, the med team leader for a county sheriff's Bomb Squad and Tact Team, in addition to teaching tactics to aircrew members for US Customs and Border Protection Air & Marine Operations. This episode, however, takes us on a different kind of mission: Scott shares the profound and personal story of fulfilling a promise to his mother as she faced the end of her life due to aggressive cancer. The decision to ensure her passing was without suffering, the conversations had, the goodbyes shared, and the ultimate act of love and duty performed. Scott opens up about the mental and emotional toll this experience exerted on him, leading to a complete erasure of his memories of his mother before that fateful day. Despite undergoing extensive therapy, including EMDR, the memories remain elusive, sparking questions about the impact of high-stress professions on personal relationships and mental health. Join us as Scott reflects on his incredible journey through medicine and rescue, the challenges of compartmentalizing professional and personal identities, and the silent struggles that professionals like him face.
