A Discussion on Stigmas and Usage

Your Highness Podcast

Join me for an engaging conversation with the brilliant Dr. Darian Parker as we discuss our favorite cannabis and non-cannabis products. I share my experience with Here and Now by Flora and Bast, a product that has significantly enhanced my yoga and work time. Dr. Darian, on the other hand, shares his experience with Gravity, a gummy he uses to break away from his routine seriousness and enjoy a moment of relaxation. We also discuss how cannabis can help those with ADHD and the need to take a break from life's seriousness now and then.

Listen in as we consider cannabis use in various contexts, including its application in exercise, and how it can be utilized to enhance focus and relaxation. We examine ground-breaking research from Colorado showing the positive effects of cannabis usage before exercise and the lack of awareness around this. We also touch on the stigma and fear that still surround cannabis use and the responsibility of users to be more open about their usage.

In our exploration of the medicinal vs. recreational debate, we examine the language used to describe cannabis use.
