On this episode of the VinnyRoc Podcast, Vincent Vargas sits down with John Ramsey, Senior R&D Manager at Diversified Botanics, to dive into a powerful conversation about natural medicine, CBD, kratom, and the dangers of 7-hydroxy mitragynine (7-OH).
John, a veteran and former Army medic, shares his journey from the military to the hemp and CBD industry, explaining how natural remedies like CBD and kratom helped him avoid the destructive cycle of pharmaceutical painkillers. Together, Vince and John explore:
- The truth about CBD isolate and why it became a breakthrough in non-psychoactive relief.
- How the endocannabinoid system works and why our bodies are designed to receive cannabinoids.
- What kratom really is, its traditional uses, and how it differs from synthetic and dangerous 7-hydroxy extracts.
- The opioid epidemic in the military and how kratom may help support recovery.
- Why Diversified Botanics is fighting to eliminate 7-OH and create safe, transparent, third-party tested products.
This episode is about cutting through the noise, misinformation, and stigma to give you a clearer picture of CBD, kratom, and the fight to keep natural remedies safe.
