CHP - S2 Ep2
Our Guest today is Justin Goodman. He is the VP of Policy for the White Coat Waste Project. They are a highly effective, non-partisan, advocacy group that is dedicated to ending taxpayer funding for the medical experimentation on animals. If you've not heard of The White Coat Waste Project, you have definitely heard about their work. They were the group that first broke the story know as "Beagle Gate", their research uncovered documents that showed that the US government was involved in gain of function research, and they were one of the first to find official documents that showed that the "Lab Leak Theory," was a real possibility. 
In this episode Justin Goodman discusses The White Coat Waste Project's unique approach to advocacy. They unite the Left and the Right, animal lovers and liberty lovers, to end tax payer funded experiments on animals. He explains how US Taxpayers fund over $20 billion each year on animal testing mainly through the NIH. Justin lays out the case why The White Coat Waste Project believes that these type of experiments are in many cases unnecessary, wasteful and causes the suffering of animals for little or no gain in useful information. 
If you love animals, if you're concerned about how the government is spending your money, if you want to see lower taxes, then check out this episode and let us know what you think.

Welcome to The Chronically Human Podcast Ep. 36
Our guest today is Dr. Peter Grinspoon. He  is a primary care doctor in Boston, teaches at Harvard Medical School, is the author of “Free Refills”, a book detailing his addiction and recovery with pain pills,  and he is an advocate for legalizing and utilizing Cannabis as Medicine.  
(At the 38 minute mark we had an issue with the audio. There is an echo or reverb when Dr. Grinspoon speaks. I apologize for this. We’ve left that portion of the conversation in because it's full of great information even though the audio isn't perfect)
We have a great discussion about his unique perspective on the perceived opioid crisis, his take on how the government’s response to reducing opioid overdose deaths has negatively impacted people in chronic pain, and his work advocating for the use of Medical Cannabis. He explains why the current "Reefer Madness" proponents are wrong and exposes who the institutional forces are that are working to keep Cannabis illegal.  We also talk about his father Dr. Lester Grinspoon and his pionnering work advocating for Cannabis and psychedelics.

I apologize for the quality of the audio in the last 20 minutes. The Skype connection went in and out and we weren’t aware of the reverb/echo issue until we re-listened to the conversation. I wasn’t able to fix it. I decided to leave it in even with the audio issue because Peter provided a lot of great information. I understand audio quality is important and we strive to do our best to present useful information in the best possible way.

Thank you for joining us today. My name is Brad Miller and this is The Chronically Human Podcast where we have discussion aimed at creating a better world with more individual freedom and less unnecessary suffering.
Our guests today are Brandon Ash and his Mother Ginger Ash. 
Brandon has suffered from a severe case of Crohn’s disease for over twenty years, he shares his story about how this terrible disease destroyed his life, how the medical establishment didn’t have the answers to help him and how he got his life back by using Medical Cannabis and Kratom.
Ginger shares her story of what its like being a mother with a son with a terrible chronic illness, how painful it was for her to see her son’s life destroyed by it, her original opposition to Brandon when he’d started using Cannabis and how she now will tell anyone who will stand still long enough about her son’s amazing transformation from sick and suffering to being healthier and happier than he’s been in over twenty years. 
I really enjoyed the conversation with Brandon and Ginger because it is something I can relate to. I was diagnosed at age 11 with a severe case of Ulcerative Colitis. None of the treatments worked for me so I had to have my entire colon removed. Since then I’ve had multiple surgeries, tens of hospital stays and over a hundred doctors visits. And during the last thirty years my mom has been a huge advocate for me as well. 
I exercise my health freedom by using Kratom and CBD oil to help manage my chronic pain. The only Kratom I trust is Urban Ice Organics. I would recommend everyone do their own research to see if its right for you. If you’ve decided to take Kratom you should get the cleanest and highest quality you can find, and for me that’s Urban Ice Organics. They also offer an amazing CBD oil as well.
