And here now is today's episode.
So I was asked to be part of a panel that went to a retirement center to talk about cannabis because a lot of those people are what we call canacurious.
My discussion was sort of how it works generally, what it does to the body, some of the claims that are made around cannabis in medicine and then how to dose low and slow.
I said, listen, it's been what, 80 years?
You haven't tried it before?
Don't try one gummy the first night.
Do a quarter of a.
