    #10 - From Binge Drinking to Cali Sober: How I Became Alcohol Free

    I was a binge drinker for almost 10 years. I didn’t know how to just have one drink. It started in my high school days, and got worse once I went to a party school for my university years. I gained so much weight and was stuck in a toxic cycle of drinking, hangovers, and making poor life choices. 4 years ago, I decided to quit alcohol in order to create the actual life that I wanted for myself. I hope this episode can help you or someone who also needs to make a change in their relationship with alcohol – it’s not an easy journey, but it’s the single best decision I ever made for myself.

    #9 - Is Cannabis Actually Performance Enhancing?

    Cannabis, specifically the compound THC, is on the World Anti Doping Agency’s Prohibited List. Some believe that this compound is performance-enhancing, while others believe it’s simply a tool that can be used for performance recovery. Where is this fine line drawn? And are there other substances that are also performance-enhancing, but not on the prohibited list? This episode dives into why athletes use cannabis, my personal experience with using the plant for pre and post-workout, what official sports organizations think about the plant, double standards with the prohibited list, and where the future of cannabis lies for the sport and athletics community.

    #3 - Is Dried Herb Vaporizing Better For You Than Smoking Joints?

    Are you someone that smokes cannabis joints and you wonder what impact it has on your health? It's a question that I've been trying to answer for myself for the past few years as I also occasionally like to partake in joints every once in a while. It's a communal experience, kind of like a social activity, and has been used as a way to help me break the ice with new people or as a way to conduct a business meeting, or simply just a method of utilizing the ancient plant for my own medical needs. In this week's episode, I explore the question of whether dried herb vaporizing is a healthier alternative than smoking joints. We'll dive into the history of smoking joints, looking at the potential risks of smoke inhalation, and explore the new technology of dried herb vaporizing and see what research has been done on this potential healthier method of consumption. 00:00 Disclaimer 00:12 What will be covered in this video 00:55 Definition of smoking joints 01:20 History of smoking joints 02:19 What is dried herb vaporizing 02:40 The difference between vaping vs. vaporizing 03:31 Why I don't vape 04:47 History of dried herb vaporizing 05:53 Health implications of smoking joints 06:41 Physical health risks 07:17 Mental health risks 07:52 My thoughts on Andrew Huberman 08:23 Why cannabis withdrawals are real 09:58 Double edged sword 10:40 My issue with current research 11:14 What research says about smoking 13:34 What research has been done on dried herb vaporizing 15:14 Red flags I noticed for myself 15:48 Visual comparison experiment 16:11 Risk-reduced methods and tools 16:44 Why I use the PAX 17:21 PAX Plus features 19:40 smoking joints vs. vaporizing 20:14 Flavour and terpene availability 21:15 Which has a better user experience 21:41 Do vaporizers have odour 22:11 So which one is better Join my free weekly newsletter where I share cannabis education, recipes, and the latest in cannabis news @ ⁠https://www.thecannabinista.com/newsletter⁠.
