Dr. Emily Dufton, author of “Grass Roots: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Marijuana in America,” discusses the history of cannabis in the US. She explains that media portrayals of cannabis have evolved over time, from being promoted as a medicine in the 1700s to being associated with violence and insanity in the 1930s. While Harry Anslinger is often blamed for the negative portrayal of cannabis, Dufton argues that the racialized imagery associated with the drug became more prominent in the 1980s.

Cannabis portrayals in media have evolved over time, reflecting societal attitudes. Initially depicted as a threat to social order, cannabis transitioned to a symbol of counterculture in the 60s and 70s. By the 80s and 90s, it became a comedic trope, and in recent years, it is increasingly portrayed as a legitimate industry.

The normalization of cannabis use is increasing due to its availability in dispensaries and online, as well as its portrayal in media. Despite this, persistent myths about cannabis, such as the stoner archetype and its association with deviating from the mainstream, remain. The stigma surrounding cannabis use continues to hinder its acceptance for medical purposes, despite its potential benefits.

Cannabis Boomer podcast aims to educate users about cannabis and its effects, emphasizing the importance of informed consumption. The information shared is based on current scientific opinion and should not be considered medical advice.

Paul Armentano, Deputy Director of NORML, discusses the evidence-based science of cannabis, particularly its impact on driving. He emphasizes the importance of evolving the narrative surrounding cannabis to evidence-based policies. Armentano highlights the need to distinguish between THC levels in the body and actual impairment, noting that THC can linger in the system long after impairment has subsided.

Cannabis use, particularly smoking, generally leads to compensatory driving behaviors like reduced speed and lane changes, resulting in a lower accident risk compared to alcohol. However, edibles, with their delayed onset and stronger psychoactive effects, pose a greater risk, and users are advised to utilize a taxi or have a designated driver if they consume edibles. Combining cannabis and alcohol can have synergistic adverse effects on psychomotor performance, making it particularly dangerous.

Rescheduling cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III would acknowledge its medical utility but wouldn’t address the conflict between federal and state laws. Descheduling cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act is necessary for states to regulate it independently. NORML continues to advocate for cannabis reform, fighting against efforts to undermine existing policies and holding the line to protect the rights of responsible adults and patients.

Migraines, affecting 39 million Americans, are a complex neurological disorder with four phases: prodrome, aura, headache, and postdrome. The causes are poorly understood but involve abnormal brain activity, nerve signals, blood vessels, and chemical messengers, with triggers varying widely between individuals. The endocannabinoid system, which cannabis interacts with, may play a role in migraines, and clinical endocannabinoid deficiency could be a contributing factor.

Clinical endocannabinoid deficiency, characterized by low levels of anandamide and 2-AG, may contribute to migraine, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome. Restoring 2-AG levels can alleviate migraine symptoms, while depleting it can induce headaches. Cannabis, particularly strains with higher THC content, may be effective for migraine relief, but it’s crucial to consult a physician and purchase from regulated dispensaries for safety and efficacy.

Microdosing cannabis could be an effective preventative strategy for migraine headaches, though it may not be effective for reversing headaches once they occur. Many clinicians lack formal education on cannabis and its potential interactions with other medications, making it challenging for patients to receive informed recommendations. Researchers face challenges in conducting cannabis research due to its Schedule I status, but there are avenues for obtaining cannabis for research purposes.

The majority of cannabis research still relies on government-supplied compounds, but the field is opening up to include pure forms of THC and CBD. Rescheduling cannabis to Schedule III would facilitate research but could complicate patient access due to stricter regulations and potential pharmacy limitations. Future research will explore the interaction between cannabis, hormones, and environmental factors like microplastics, as well as the potential for migraines in other species.

The Cannabis Boomer Podcast discusses the growing popularity of cannabis edibles with Teresa Hansen, Director of Edibles at Copperstate Farms. Hansen, a nutritionist and culinary arts graduate, explains the science behind edibles, their delayed onset, and prolonged effects. She also highlights the variety of edible products available, including gummies, beverages, and baked goods, and discusses the importance of proper dosing.

Teresa Hansen, a former research and development chef at Starbucks discusses everything that's new in cannabis edibles and emphasizes the importance of thorough research and development in creating shelf-stable baked goods with consistent cannabis concentrations. She advises new consumers to start with a low dose and gradually increase it to find their ideal experience. Safety is a top priority at Copperstate, with child-resistant packaging and proper labeling being essential to prevent accidental consumption.

The cannabis industry is seeing a growing interest in beverages, with a focus on low-dose options and unique extraction processes like rosin-based gummies and chocolates. These products often incorporate a variety of cannabinoids, such as CBD and CBN, to create different effects and cater to consumer preferences. While terpenes may lose some potency in edibles, the full-spectrum nature of these products can still provide a unique experience.

For this particular episode, key words are: cannabis, sleep science, marijuana, THC, CBD, CBN, REM. non-REM, and sleep.

Cannabis, particularly THC, alters sleep architecture by increasing non-REM sleep and decreasing REM sleep. While this may be beneficial for conditions like PTSD or insomnia, it could be detrimental for healthy individuals as REM sleep is crucial for learning and memory. The effects of cannabis on sleep diminish over time due to tolerance, and the method of consumption may also impact sleep quality.

Dr. Andrew Kesner discusses his research on cannabis and sleep, particularly focusing on sleep disruption as a withdrawal symptom. He highlights the need for more research on cannabis and sleep, emphasizing the importance of studying sex differences. While acknowledging the potential benefits of cannabis for sleep, he emphasizes the need for further research to understand its effects and potential risks.

The effects of cannabis on sleep are complex and multifaceted, influenced by factors like preexisting pain, anxiety, and age. Animal studies, particularly those using mice, are crucial for understanding the specific brain pathways and mechanisms involved, as they allow for controlled experiments and the use of sophisticated genetic tools. While human studies often rely on self-reported measures, animal research can utilize EEG recordings to provide a more detailed and objective analysis of sleep architecture and quality.

Dr. Isobel Lavender discusses the complexity of studying cannabis and sleep, highlighting the diverse effects of different cannabinoids and the variability in sleep patterns among individuals. She emphasizes the need for consistent research methods and doses to better understand the impact of cannabis on sleep, particularly in relation to sleep disorders like insomnia. Lavender also explores the potential benefits of CBN for reducing sleep onset latency.
