He discusses the differences between medical marijuana and commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals including opiates, benzos, and SSRI’s. Jared goes over the side effects of each as well as discusses several studies about the use of these pharmaceuticals in comparison to medicinal marijuana and CBD  products.  In the second half of the show, Jared talks about the RAS (Reticular Activating System). The RAS is a part of your brain that acts like a super-powerful filter. The RAS allows things that we put a substantial focus on to become automatic. Your RAS helps dictate what you think and believe, which then helps dictate how you feel, which dictates the kind of life you build for yourself. Announcements from the show:  The Highland Meeting Jared will be speaking at: Highland City Hall5400 Civic Center Dr. Highland Utah7:00 PMTopic: How to obtain Mental and Emotional Freedom in an ever confining world Be Healthy Utah Website: https://www.behealthyutah.com/ Vitality Nutrition’s CBD Productshttps://vitalitynutrition.com/collections/cbd Vitality Nutrition’s Homepage: https://vitalitynutrition.com/ Links and other information from the show: CNN Articlehttps://www.cnn.com/2022/03/18/health/medical-marijuana-wellness/index.htmlIs Marijuana Addictive?https://nida.nih.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/marijuana-addictiveJAMA Articlehttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2790261Peter C GøtzscheProfessorNordic Cochrane CentreCopenhagen Just a reminder that this podcast is for educational purposes only.
