Research in the fields of neuroscience and pharmacology over the past several decades have resulted in countless positive benefits for humanity.\nBut until very recently, certain classes of drugs had been rigorously excluded from clinical trials - namely, the class of drugs commonly known as psychedelics.\nFortunately, a handful of organizations around the world have been making breakthroughs in psychedelic drug research, working in cooperation with government regulators to answer this question: what are these drugs doing to our brains and bodies?\nOne such researcher is today\u2019s guest - Dr. David Nutt. He and his team at Drug Science have brought together leading drug experts from many different clinical backgrounds, with the goal of providing clear, evidence-based information about how a wide range of drugs - from CBD to PCP - impact the human system.\nIn his latest book, Cannabis (seeing through the smoke): The New Science of Cannabis and Your Health, Dr. Nutt gives an in-depth look into one of the most commonly used recreational psychedelics on the planet: cannabis.\nIn today\u2019s episode, we discuss David\u2019s findings on how cannabis affects different systems in the brain, how it differs from other classes of drugs, what the future of drug research looks like, and much much more!\n\nCheck out our sponsors: \nAthletic Greens: Go to athleticgreens.com/impact and receive a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase! \nBetterHelp: betterhelp.com/impacttheory\n\nSHOW NOTES:\n00:00 | How Cannabis Works\n03:54 | How Will I Respond to Cannabis?\n09:21 | Benefits of Cannabis\n22:09 | Psychedelics & Your Brain\n32:27 | Are Drugs Safe?\n38:51 | The Future of Cannabis\n\nFollow Dr. David Nutt:\nWebsite: https://www.drugscience.org.uk\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/profdavidnutt\nOrder your copy of Cannabis (seeing through the smoke): https://amzn.to/3O9sc0P\n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
