Warrior Tribe Podcast | Ep. 2 w/ Dr. Peter Grinspoon: Cannabis Specialist, Author, Educator

Is it possible for a plant to change the course of modern medicine? Thought-provoking medical and lifestyle expert Dr. Peter Grinspoon joins us to challenge our understanding of cannabis, revealing its potential benefits and low risks for conditions like ADHD, PTSD, and chronic pain. Drawing from his personal journey with cannabis and his brother Danny’s battle with childhood leukemia, and his own battle with opioid addiction, he brings a unique perspective to the healing conversation. The impact of cannabis on stress is undeniable. Together, we delve into the history of cannabis, its life-altering effects on people, and the vested institutional interests behind its prohibition. As Dr. Grinspoon explains, the plant has emerged as a potent remedy for many, but its criminalization has made it difficult for doctors and veterans to access this plant medicine. We also discuss high addiction rates among physicians and the pandemic-induced burnout affecting healthcare professionals. Unleashing the potential of cannabis isn’t without its challenges. We dive into the complexities of finding the right strain for conditions like PTSD, the role of microdosing, and the use of cannabis to manage our stress response. But it's not just about the plant; it's about changing mindsets. As Dr. Grinspoon emphasizes, educating doctors and veterans about medicinal benefits of cannabis is crucial, and debunking misconceptions and stigmas that surround its usage is a must. Listen in for an enlightening conversation with Dr. Peter Grinspoon that will challenge your perspective on cannabis.
