Conusming cannabis/THC through edibles, pills, topicals
In the cannabis (marijuana) episode, you spent a few brief minutes discussing the extremely negative effects of consuming cannabis via smoking & vaping. I'm curious if ingesting cannabis/THC through edibles, pills, or topicals have as concerning of effects. I would consider myself a chronic cannabis user by use of edibles. I find this question important as I know many "chronic users" are looking for the "healthiest" way to consume cannabis/THC. Additionally, if there ARE biological concerns with consumption via edibles, pills, or topicals, then perhaps many chronic users will look to greatly reduce cannabis/THC consumption entirely as their biological health is much more important than the benefits received through consumption of cannabis/THC.
Just saying thanks!
Thank you so much for the in-depth, nuanced analysis you have provided over the last couple of years! Your lectures are endlessly thought-provoking and I’m sure everyone here would agree. Looking forward to seeing the podcast evolve, and to learning even more about neurobiology every week.
