In this episode of the Hart2Heart Podcast, Dr. Mike Hart is joined by genomics expert Kevin McKernan. The duo delve deep into the complex world of cannabis and psilocybin, discussing THC use in teenagers and schizophrenics, the benefits of CBD, the comparative impacts of cannabis and cigarette smoke, and the potential of THC as a safer option than alcohol. The conversation touches on the carcinogenic risks associated with THC acetate, the importance of product regulation, the potential benefits of cannabinoids for various age groups, and the effects of CBN and other cannabinoids on sleep. Kevin also shares information on a compound ten times more potent than CBD for treating anxiety and schizophrenia. The episode takes a significant turn to discuss vaccine lot variations, the potential risks of repeated mRNA vaccinations, and the importance of not creating more fear around vaccines. Lastly, McKernan enlightens listeners on the health benefits of mycelium, a component of mushrooms.
