Demystifying CBD: The Supplement That's Changing Lives
The confusion surrounding CBD is real—is it a drug? Will it get you high? Does it actually work? In this eye-opening episode of the Hemp Del Sol podcast, host Marilisa Lawless cuts through the noise with straightforward answers to the questions everyone's asking.
"The biggest myth about CBD is that it's a drug and that it is marijuana," Marilisa explains as she walks us through the fundamental differences between hemp and marijuana. Despite both being cannabis plants, only one gets you high—and it's not CBD. This distinction matters tremendously for anyone seeking natural relief without psychoactive effects.
We dive deep into the science of different consumption methods, with Marilisa revealing why tinctures offer superior effectiveness compared to gummies or capsules. "The tincture is the best for bioavailability," she notes, explaining how the oil bypasses digestive processes that slow down other methods. Whether you're a senior citizen comfortable with capsules, a middle-aged adult seeking maximum effectiveness, or someone younger drawn to the approachability of gummies, you'll discover which option aligns with your needs.
Most valuable is the practical guidance on proper usage. The "go low, go slow" approach Marilisa advocates prevents the common mistake of trying CBD once and abandoning it when instant results don't materialize. Within a week of consistent use at gradually adjusted dosages, most people discover their sweet spot. Unlike many pharmaceuticals, CBD appears to have no serious side effects or lethal dose—making it a supplement worth considering for those seeking relief from anxiety, sleep issues, or inflammation.
Have you been curious about trying CBD but felt overwhelmed by conflicting information? This episode cuts through the confusion with expert insights delivered in accessible, non-technical language. Listen now to understand how this plant-based supplement might complement your wellness journey.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to the Hemp Del Sol podcast.
All health, no high.
Here's your host, Mary LisaLawless.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh hello, Mary Lisa Lawless, Good to see you.
As always, Welcome, welcome,welcome everybody, Welcome
friends, family, community.
As I always say on the GoodNeighbor podcast, Wonderful
universe.
We are here to give off somepositive vibes and make your day
(00:35):
just a little bit brighter, ifwe can.
Yes, yes, that's the goal.
That is the goal, as always.
All right, so today, today, weare going to dig deep into CBDs,
because I know that's a bigpart of what you do and you are
truly an expert in that arena.
So I thought we would dosomething a little bit different
.
We're going to do a littlerapid fire questions, we're
(00:56):
going to go down the line andwe're going to go through some
various questions that I'vedrafted regarding CBDs.
So, marisa, I just have onequestion for you.
What's that one?
Before we start, Okay.
Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I am absolutely ready Fire away.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
All right, let's get started.
Okay, so number one what is thebiggest myth about CBDs?
Is the biggest myth about CBDs?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
That it's a drug.
That's the biggest piece isthat it's a drug and that it is
marijuana.
Those are the two pieces.
So people confuse hemp andmarijuana all the time, because
they're both cannabis.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
So it gets lumped together.
I like to look at these thingsso.
So ever since I started on myjourney with plant medicine and
these different healingmodalities, I kind of the way I
frame it in my mind when I takeand this is just, we're just
playing semantics here, but Ithink this is fun exercise when
it comes to the distinctionbetween a drug and a medicine,
(02:08):
right In my mind.
This is how I look at it.
So like I see cannabis for menot as a drug, I see it as a
medicine.
And the way I look at it is ifI'm taking something for a quick
fix, for a bandaid, for a youknow, it's more of it's more of
(02:29):
a drug.
But if I'm taking somethingkind of with intention, for my
personal healing, that kind ofthing, I look at it more of as a
medicine.
That's just how I talk aboutthings.
I know, take it, take it orleave it for better or worse,
but that's just how I look at it.
So there's a lot of things thatothers might consider drugs
that I look at more as medicines.
That's just me.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
No, but it is actually a cultural shift that's
starting to happen.
You know, as we become morecomfortable with marijuana and
start to see the medicinalbenefits of marijuana or
cannabis in general, there'smany people that are starting to
make that shift.
That that's the real medicine.
(03:11):
Plants were the originalmedications.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And words matter, right, the way we talk about
we've talked about this beforethe way we talk about things
again, just talking about thisstuff as if it's a drug comes
with this negative connotationand it's just better to reframe
things and talk about it.
Ok, so Right.
Next question OK, Oil, gummiesor capsules, what's your go to?
(03:40):
Or do you have a go to?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Well, I actually actually think the tincture, the
oil, is the best administration, um, and sometimes it's just
about a personal preference.
So, however, it's put togetherum.
The only thing I am like antiis smoking or vaping yeah,
because that comes with anegative health.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, it's got a whole health connect.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You know anti-health piece, um, but I see the.
The tincture is the best forbioavailability.
Tincture is the oil that goesunder your tongue.
So it's basically coconut oil,exactly coconut oil, and cbd,
and that's it.
So you hold it under yourtongue and then you know, and
again on an empty stomach and itdoesn't really have to go
(04:28):
through the digestive processthat both the capsule and a
gummy would have to.
So a capsule breaks down morerapidly than that would be my
second go-to.
The caps break down.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So what would be if the tincture is the most
effective way to do?
It is the reason why peoplewould opt, like personal
preference, to do, let's say, anedible, a gummy or whatever
that might be, just becausemaybe they don't like the taste
of it or the feeling of it whenit goes in.
It's just, that's all.
That's all it would be Like.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Ideally, you should do the, you would take the
tincture because it works mosteffectively the tinctures work
the most or the most rapidly andthe most effectively without
any negative health.
So what?
What works the most rapidly isthe smoking, but it's got all
these negative um connections toit.
So, no, it's not the best.
(05:20):
The best is the tincture underthe tongue, bioavailability and
all of that, and how it'sabsorbed and again taken on an
empty stomach.
The capsules have to go throughthe digestive process.
They break down easier than thegummies.
The gummies take even longer tobreak down because then it's
not just a gel cap or, you know,a vegan cap that it has to get
(05:41):
through.
It's breaking down the what'sput the gummy together.
So it's having to break allthat down.
So, and it does come down topersonal preference, older
people, like people older thanme in their seventies and
eighties and nineties, actuallyprefer the capsules because many
(06:04):
of them are used to takingvitamins and minerals and
sometimes medications.
That's just another pill thatyou put in.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It's just another pill they could drop into their
monday through friday, or theirseven-day pill, giant pill
regimen or whatever right,exactly, exactly that's.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
That's exactly why that, for that administration,
is easiest.
People that are our age,between that 40, you know,
40-ish and 65-ish, you know, welike the tinctures because we
understand the benefit.
We do all that.
The younger people have atendency to like the gummies
just because it has a more of arecreational feel.
(06:41):
Even though it's not a drug andthey're not going to get high
on it, they like it and it's noteven that sweet.
Some of them are really sweet.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
The cannabis ones are really sweet.
I know that, yeah Well, theyhave to add sugar because the
cannabis is really bitter.
Yeah, oh yeah, they got to puta lot of sugar in them.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, yeah so.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That's my preferred method.
Yeah, the Veritas.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Farmsmies.
They're.
They're peaceful mind gummiesand they're sleep gummies.
They have also passion flowerand lemongrass and lemon balm.
They have different thingsadded to it so it changes the
flavor.
It's not just.
But they're vegan and they're.
You know they're.
They're small, they don't haveany sugar and they each have 50
(07:22):
milligrams of the full spectrumCBD.
So people like those and Idon't know why, but gummies are
at least expensive of all theproducts as well.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah Right, so in general, the gummies seem to be
the least expensive when itcomes to hemp supplements.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Speaking of calming effects and helping with sleep
can CBD this is the nextquestion I got for you can CBD
really help with anxiety?
Because I think a lot of peoplethat are unfamiliar they hear
that like, yeah, I know for me,anyway, my personal experience
(08:04):
in working with cannabis and Iknow this is true for many
people cannabis can actually, inmany cases, induce anxiety
because it's an intense feelingand it can create that panic.
What about CBD?
Is this really something and Iknow we've talked about this on
previous episodes and I know itdoes but I just want to get your
spin on that.
Like, how does it work toreduce anxiety?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, it works in the brain.
It works on what we all have asan endocannabinoid system, so
on those particularneurotransmitters.
It triggers that and it seemsto create different effects in
the brain which then helps tobring down the anxiety.
So it works on inflammation andanxiety.
According to all of the studiesand the anecdotal you know I
(08:50):
have, I mean 1000 differentpeople have come through my
doors over the years and I'venever had anybody tell me it
didn't work on their anxiety.
And if you take care of theanxiety it often helps with your
sleep.
There's some, some of the sleepproducts have an extra
ingredient.
That's from the C, that fromthe hemp plant called CBN.
(09:11):
Cbn is specifically for sleep,so a lot of the sleep products
will have that added to it.
So it adds, you know, a littlebit extra for sleep itself.
But at the end of the day theyall seem to help with anxiety.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
They act on the dreamy receptors, yeah, so so,
speaking also of sleep, how longdoes it usually and obviously
this depends on the method wetalked about the, the, the uh,
the tincture versus the gummies.
But like, if you're going totake something for sleep with
the tincture, for instance, isthat something that?
Okay, I'm getting ready to goto sleep?
You want to take like like 15minutes before sleep, a half
(09:49):
hour, an hour.
Same thing for gummies.
Do you want to take an hourbefore?
What's the timing?
How long does it take to kickin Again?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
because of the, because of how they're absorbed
in the body.
The tincture you take, thetincture get, get yourself ready
for bed and get into bed.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So 15 minutes it just goes right yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yes.
The next is the gummies, oreven the capsules.
I haven't I don't think I haveany capsules for sleep.
No, it's just the gummies orthe tinctures and I haven't
actually seen any capsulesspecifically for sleep.
You wonder why that is, I don'tknow.
I just thought of that Sleepcapsules going you, I wonder why
(10:24):
that is, I don't know, I justthought of that Sleep capsules
going.
Gummy, you take about an hourbefore bed because, it still has
to go through the digestiveprocess.
So you take your gummy and youuse it as a way to start getting
ready for bed.
So having good sleep hygienealso helps with better sleep.
Having, like you, go to bed ata regular time.
You're not on your phone andyou're not on the computer, not
(10:46):
watching TV, you like.
Turn off all the electronicsbecause of the electromagnetic
fields, yep, you know, start towind down about an hour before
bed anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So, as per usual, yeah, these things become a lot
easier when you, when you do thework to develop habits, like
these medicines that we'retalking about, cbds.
They are just tools, right, andand I want to encourage people
to get away from taking thesetools and using them as a
replacement for creating thedaily habits and doing the hard
(11:17):
work that's going to cause thenyou're just, then, you're just
using a drug at that point.
So, is it okay?
From your experience, I'm sureit is okay, but, like, is this
something that you want to betaking daily?
Like, let's say, you haveproblems sleeping, right?
Do you want to be taking theCBD every day for the sleep If
you're not doing the other thing?
Like, right, if you're notdoing the, do you want to?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
use it.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, because there's like a fine line between
between these two things.
Right, it becomes very easy forhuman beings and we're
creatures of habit and we tendto go towards comfortability.
So if there's a way for us totake a cheat, a shortcut and
right and not you know, and yeah, scroll on your phone before
sleep and get all the blue lightand all that crap and then just
take the gummy, what the hellright Like, is that negative in
(12:03):
your mind to do that?
Should somebody be moderatingtheir intake when it comes to
taking it for something likesleep or their anxiety?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Well, there are people that will just take it.
They just take it.
They don't try to change any ofthe other behaviors.
And that's no different withanybody else that's used to
taking medications.
It just has less side effects.
Most medications have sideeffects.
The CBD doesn't seem to havethe same side effects.
It only has the positive, sortof like vitamin C.
(12:33):
It doesn't really have anynegative to take too much.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
So the answer is yes, you could take it every day.
It doesn't have any sideeffects, but you should also
develop daily habits and dothings that are going to
increase your and then and thenmaybe you don't need it every
day after a while, but it's notgoing to hurt.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
No, I've had people come off of it.
I've had people stop and say,wow, those couple of months that
I needed it.
It was amazing and wonderfuland I'm so grateful that you
know I've gotten all these otherthings in line in my life and I
don't need it because as amarriage and family therapist,
as somebody who's dealing withpeople's trauma and anxiety and
all the things that are going onin their life on a regular
(13:11):
basis, I'm offering peopleskills to deal with the specific
behaviors that have beenimpacting their sleep or
increasing their anxiety ormaking their bodies not work to
their optimal you know, at theiroptimal.
So when people are coming to me, they're working on both at the
same time.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
A win-win situation.
It's a win-win for people, Icould only imagine.
Just like anything else, if youtake it regularly, the body
will ultimately develop atolerance and you need to take
more of it.
Or is that not the case withCVs?
Because I can see if you takeit every night, at some point
it's like hey, it's not workingas well, Maybe I'll take two of
them, and then it could become athing where you're just like
(13:54):
eventually it just doesn't workfor you.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
No, and I do know people that will stop taking it
for a period of time becausethey're concerned about that.
But I have yet to see anystudies where you actually
develop a tolerance to CBD.
I've seen studies where peopleare developing tolerances to THC
, but because Guilty.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
And exactly, hemp is not a drug, it's a supplement.
So, like I take magnesium everyday, I take vitamin C every day
.
Not together, they don't gotogether.
Um, you know, I take vitaminsevery day and I probably will
for the rest of my life, becauseit keeps me away from
medications, it keeps me healthy.
You know, I eat a decent diet.
(14:42):
I try to get exercise, maybenot as much as I need to get,
but you know, that's we're all.
We're all a work in progress.
But CBD I've never had anybodydevelop a tolerance over that.
You know, in my experience hasonly been since 2018.
Experience has only been since2018.
(15:05):
I've seen anybody develop atolerance.
What I've seen is that peopleget to a place where it's like
oh, I didn't need it tonight, Idon't need it every night, I
don't need it every day.
Oh, my anxiety is in betterorder.
Oh my, you know, I'm actuallyfeeling like, like I've got a
little bit more mobility and,wow, because the pain has
decreased, I'm sleeping better,because the anxiety is down, I'm
(15:27):
moving through my day easierbecause I've added meditation,
I've added doing other things.
So, yes, it's a supplement,it's not a drug.
People don't become addicted toit.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I think that is a very important distinction and a
way to frame this and look atit from the outside.
If you don't have an experiencewith this because I think I'm
guilty of being one that looksat it more like a drug, but it
is just that, right.
It is a supplement, right.
It's just like you said.
It's very similar to dailyvitamins.
It has that low of a riskfactor associated with it, if
(16:03):
anything.
Right Like there's no cases ofanybody getting hurt from CBD
that I'm aware of Sleepingbetter people sleeping.
Yeah, okay.
Next question Go for it.
Full spectrum versus isolate.
What's the difference?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Full spectrum means that it has all of the
ingredients of the hemp plant,meaning that it's got a.
What people are looking for, orlistening for, is the THC.
So in this country it has to beless than 0.3% THC Delta 9, in
order to be legal, federallylegal.
(16:40):
And when it's federally legal,it's because they consider it to
be a supplement, not a drug andall that good stuff.
So some of it's just political.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Hold on so the strains of cannabis that I get
with a 28% THC or whatever it isthose are not supplements.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Those are not supplements, those are actually
Dang I thought I was takingsupplements every day.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Oh, what am I doing?
Not supplements, those areactually.
I thought I was takingsupplements every day.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Oh, what am I doing?
Well, what they have started todo with the 28 ones that are 10
and 10 and 30 percent 40they're adding cbd to it.
They're adding cbd to thoseproducts because they know that
it's the cbd that's really themost helpful.
I honestly believe and this isjust my belief the THC and the
marijuana just makes youuninterested in what's going on.
(17:26):
It doesn't actually fix it.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It does wonders for your creativity, though it's
done wonders for my musicalinspiration.
I get inspired all the timefrom it.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
That's one of the main reasons and they have many
different strains, so you canfind something that will do
basically anything you want.
And that's the whole thing withsativa and indica.
And hemp is considered anindica, which means that in the
marijuana industry they sayindica means in the couch, and
that's how you know it.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Love my indicas.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, but hemp is considered an indica because it
is not something that givespeople energy or things like
that, it's really just yeah.
And they're cloning more andmore of the hemp plants to have
other ingredients as theirprimary.
I heard that they were doingcloning with CBG, cloning with
(18:28):
CBG.
Cbg is another ingredient inthe hemp plant where CBD has
been the primary ingredient.
They have isolated the CBG,which they believe is a stronger
, more powerfulanti-inflammatory, and that they
want the plants then, andbecause they can clone and they
make all these different littlehybrids, like they have with the
marijuana industry, wherethey've made all these different
(18:48):
strains, they're creatingstrains, so to speak, that are
CBG prevalent, that they're morewith CBG, cbg, cbg.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I know CBN, cbf, cbh, cb.
We're going on the wholealphabet here, okay?
So, uh, full spectrum, got that?
What about the the isolate?
So the isolate is on the otherside of that, you're gonna it's
where it takes everything out.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
There's nothing else in it except cbd okay.
And some people.
I do carry that product as well.
I carry that in a tincture form.
I used to carry gummies, butthey weren't.
Several companies have stoppedbecause they didn't find them as
effective.
So the CBD isolate is really,for people that are terrified of
(19:38):
even the trace amount of THC,worried about a drug test, that
kind of thing, right Well, andit's not just a drug test.
Itried about a drug test thatkind of thing, Right, Well, and
it's not just a drug test, it'sa specific drug test.
So people that take the isolateare the ones with a CDL, ones
that work for the federalgovernment.
It is so interesting becausethe federal government that's
(19:58):
federally legal, but the federalgovernment has said no, but the
federal government has said no.
So the isolate are the peoplethat are in professional sports,
the yeah, so as professionalsports people that are in drug
rehabs, they'll take CBD butthey want to take the isolate so
that there's no opportunitythat they would ever test
(20:21):
positive.
The challenge is for anybodythat has smoked marijuana that
they're trying to shift it toCBD.
They can still test positivefor up to a year afterwards
because THC gets stored into thebody, the adipose tissue.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, so, so so taking.
So if you stop taking, if youstop cannabis, you have like
fatty deposits, you have sometrace.
And if you keep taking the CBDwith a little bit of THC in it,
it keeps it kind of stimulatedfor an extra time.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
No, no, no, marijuana will.
You'll flush through.
You know you'll end up with anegative tox screen within a
month.
Yeah, that's what I thought Ifyou smoke marijuana regularly
and then you quit, you couldstill test, even though you
could say I don't smoke anymore,I don't.
You could still test positivefor up to a year because it gets
(21:09):
stored into the body, into theadipose tissue, hemp.
It doesn't store it becauseit's a trace amount.
It doesn't have enough to store.
It doesn't have enough tocreate that kind of a genetic
profile.
Have enough to create that kindof a genetic profile and you
know realistically if you'retruly afraid and people will
(21:30):
give children isolates, eventhough you're supposed to be 18
before you do CBD or any of that.
Many parents will give theirkids CBD without any negative
effect at all, with actuallypositive results for treating
attention deficit issues andattention deficit hyperactivity.
You know all of those kiddisorders.
Parents will do that instead ofgiving their kid medication
(21:54):
with they've reported.
I've never had a parent say, ah, it didn't work.
Every parent that's ever doneit has said where can I get more
?
You know that they actuallywant to keep purchasing it
because it has said where can Iget more?
Yeah, you know that theyactually want to keep purchasing
it because it has been soeffective for helping their kid
function well in school andthat's what most parents want.
You know we are so inundatedwith information and you know
(22:16):
all the things that are comingat us with electronics.
Many kids have attention issues.
Many kids have hyperactivityissues because they don't ever
get any downtime.
They're always on a you know, uh, like this, like what we're
doing.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
It's a real problem, for sure.
I.
I know myself like I.
I've become, like at manyothers, super, super hooked on
the phone.
It follows me everywhere.
I started leaving it Like I'llput it away.
I get up in the morning, Ileave it upstairs charging.
I don't even look at it now,for at least I try not to for at
least a half an hour after Iget up.
That's the last thing I need todo.
People I see people all thetime.
(22:56):
I don't see them, but I knowthat people get up is they roll
over, they grab their phone andthey're scrolling on social
media.
Looking at it's like how couldthat be good for you?
And it seems so toxic to wakeup like that, Like I want to go
out for a walk, I want to go sitin the sun, I want to go
meditate, I want to chill.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
No more craziness in the morning for me, please.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, it's awesome to be able to do that.
I know I'm guilty with thephone.
I have a tendency to turn myphone off at night so that it's
off in the morning even when Iget up.
Yeah, and I don't need thealarm anymore.
Right, like, as you get older,you get to a point where you're
just your biological clock, likeit wakes you up regardless,
like you know, unless I got towake up at like five o'clock,
like I'm getting up everymorning at six, seven, like I'm
not.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yeah, no.
And if I have to set an alarmfor whatever reason, like take
somebody to the airport orwhatever, I don't sleep well
that night because then I'mwaking up every night you have
anxiety about the fact that thealarm is going off.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You need a gummy for that.
Jeez, yeah, marilisa.
What's one mistake that you seepeople make most when they try
CBD for the first time?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Oh, I tried it, it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
They take it like one time they take it once and it
doesn't give them the magicalinstant gratification, instant
effects that they're looking forand they think that yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
So I do a lot of education.
When anybody comes in or callsme or wants to know, tell me
about this stuff.
It is not a drug you do need.
You need to take it regularly.
You need to take it every day,preferably at the same time.
When somebody is first brandnew, just starting it, I tell
(24:36):
them give yourself a week.
So within three days of takingthe dose that you're taking, I
tell people to go low, go slow,go low.
That's you know where I say goslow, go low.
Start with a low dosage.
Give yourself three days oftaking it at that dosage to see
if it works.
(24:56):
If you don't notice any changeor you don't notice enough of
the change, increase it andevery because everybody's
different.
You have no idea what is yourdose and just I can give you my
family, like mine, is low.
I don't need much at all.
I will randomly take a gummybecause my life pretty much
(25:19):
flows.
I don't really have a lot ofanxiety or stress I mean, other
than like somebody selling mythe building and moving into a
new place.
Moving in there my anxiety wasa little high but in general I'm
pretty chill.
I mean, you've known me a while, you know I'm pretty chill, so
if I take something it's a verylow dose.
Family members I've got severalfamily members who take the
(25:43):
highest dose.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
So what is the highest dose?
Is there too much?
What happens if you took like10 times the highest dose?
Is there any negativeconsequences, or is it just the
same as taking too much of asupplement and a vitamin?
Obviously, too much of anythingcan create problems, but is
there too much?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
There's no medical evidence that I've seen and
somebody you know if anybody'swilling to correct me or show me
studies to the contrary.
There's nothing negative If youtake too much.
It's just not effective.
So what I have seen and whatI've read is that the maximum
dosage per day, spread out intodoses, is a hundred milligrams.
Okay, so that would be liketaking a 3,000 milligram
(26:26):
tincture and I only have that inan isolate, because that would
be.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
You know, that would be 100 milligrams A month worth
of A day you know.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
So that seems to be the maximum that has any
efficacy.
It's not effective if you takemore.
I have known people that havetaken more and they're really
high-strung people and itdoesn't have any negative impact
on them at all and they justtake it in divided doses through
the day.
So everybody's different.
(26:56):
That's the whole piece.
There is no set you take this,but that's true with a lot of
different medications.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
It's player dependent .
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Take this but that's true with a lot of different
medications.
It's player dependent.
Absolutely Play around with it,see what it is that works best
for you, and I tell peoplewithin a week.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
you should know what works best for you.
So cause I've heard forcannabis that there is also much
the same.
There is no too much.
There's no lethal dose Like theonly.
From my experience, the onlyrisk you have when you ingest
too much cannabis is that oneyou're going to pass out, or two
you're going to eat everythingin your house Beyond that, like
you're not going to tell meabout their anxiety or get
anxiety, but in terms of likeit's not.
(27:36):
it's not lethal or toxic in theway that, like opiates, are
right when, if you take too muchof that, it will stop your
heart.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Nobody's going to die from it.
You're not going to die from anoverdose of any kind of
cannabis.
So no, and you're right, theymight gain weight, they might
sleep too much, but other thanthat, no, there's not any real
negative.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
There's nothing negative.
That's why I continue to offerit as an option.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I offer it as an option towards people's healing,
when people are trying to healthe things that they've come in
to talk to me about.
You know it's just one of theoptions the crystals, the
essential oils, lavender I'm abig lavender person.
Yeah, meditation there's somany different things that I
(28:25):
offer to people and it's findsomething that works for you you
know, talk to mediums.
I have mediums.
I actually have a tarot card.
Who's a tarot card reader,who's also a medium.
She's here in this office onFridays now, from 1 to 5.
(28:46):
And she's really awesome.
So she'll be here actuallylater today, since today is
Friday, and I just love watchingher work.
When I've seen her work, it'slike, oh, that's really cool,
because she just starts flippingcards and telling you a story
and it's like wh, like oh, I'vehad many people walk out of my
office crying because they'relike, wow, that was so powerful,
(29:09):
that was so spot on.
That was like, oh, I reallyneed to make changes with my
life.
It's just interesting, um, butI'm, I'm open to anything that
is helpful and if any of theenergetic healing that I offer
here as a service, if none ofthat works, I work with
(29:31):
Greenbrook.
Greenbrook does the esketamine,so it's a ketamine, the nasal
ketamine, and they do the TMS,the transcranial, transmagnetic
stimulation.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I'm familiar with both of those therapies.
I had somebody on the podcast awhile ago who's right down the
road from me, who administers.
You know, I went to the actualin-person.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, blue Wave, yep, blue Wave yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Shout out.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Eric Robbins Blue Umbrella.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yes, Blue Umbrella.
I have actually a personalfriend who's there now you know
doing, you know receivingtreatment.
Again, I know somebody elsethat did the TMS there and is
now doing the ischemia.
I know people at Green BookGreen Book and Blue Umbrella.
They're both local, they'reboth providing very similar
service, they provide the sameservices, and some of that's
(30:27):
just about what is yourinsurance cover, Because that's
where you start to get into someof it as well, Because in you
know, insurance doesn't covermetaphysical treatment,
Insurance doesn't coveraromatherapy and hemp and you
know tarot and Oracle card andmediums and it doesn't cover any
of that.
But it is a healing modality.
And that's the sad part.
(30:47):
You know that it doesn't offerany um.
There's no medical.
There's lots of medical stuffthat it does help with.
I'm reading Edgar Cayce's lifestory that's.
That's a whole other.
That's a whole other story.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
A whole other story for a whole other day.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yes indeed.
Any other questions.
What else do you want to throwat me?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
All right.
One last thing before we wrapup here.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Just one, and you may have already touched on it, but
touch on it again in caseanybody missed it the one thing
that you'd like everybody toknow about CBD.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
It is not a drug.
It's a supplement.
Nobody's ever overdosed on it.
Nobody's ever had a bad trip.
It's just an option.
At the end of the day, it'sjust an option.
There are many.
At the end of the day, it'sjust an option.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
There are many Indeed .

Welcome to the Hemp Del Sol podcast.
All health, no high.
Here's your host, Mary LisaLawless.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh hello, Mary Lisa Lawless, Good to see you.
As always, Welcome, welcome,welcome everybody, Welcome
friends, family, community.
As I always say on the GoodNeighbor podcast, Wonderful
universe.
We are here to give off somepositive vibes and make your day
(00:35):
just a little bit brighter, ifwe can.
Yes, yes, that's the goal.
That is the goal, as always.
All right, so today, today, weare going to dig deep into CBDs,
because I know that's a bigpart of what you do and you are
truly an expert in that arena.
So I thought we would dosomething a little bit different
.
We're going to do a littlerapid fire questions, we're
(00:56):
going to go down the line andwe're going to go through some
various questions that I'vedrafted regarding CBDs.
So, marisa, I just have onequestion for you.
What's that one?
Before we start, Okay.
Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I am absolutely ready Fire away.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
All right, let's get started.
Okay, so number one what is thebiggest myth about CBDs?
Is the biggest myth about CBDs?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
That it's a drug.
That's the biggest piece isthat it's a drug and that it is
marijuana.
Those are the two pieces.
So people confuse hemp andmarijuana all the time, because
they're both cannabis.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
So it gets lumped together.
I like to look at these thingsso.
So ever since I started on myjourney with plant medicine and
these different healingmodalities, I kind of the way I
frame it in my mind when I takeand this is just, we're just
playing semantics here, but Ithink this is fun exercise when
it comes to the distinctionbetween a drug and a medicine,
(02:08):
right In my mind.
This is how I look at it.
So like I see cannabis for menot as a drug, I see it as a
medicine.
And the way I look at it is ifI'm taking something for a quick
fix, for a bandaid, for a youknow, it's more of it's more of
(02:29):
a drug.
But if I'm taking somethingkind of with intention, for my
personal healing, that kind ofthing, I look at it more of as a
medicine.
That's just how I talk aboutthings.
I know, take it, take it orleave it for better or worse,
but that's just how I look at it.
So there's a lot of things thatothers might consider drugs
that I look at more as medicines.
That's just me.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
No, but it is actually a cultural shift that's
starting to happen.
You know, as we become morecomfortable with marijuana and
start to see the medicinalbenefits of marijuana or
cannabis in general, there'smany people that are starting to
make that shift.
That that's the real medicine.
(03:11):
Plants were the originalmedications.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And words matter, right, the way we talk about
we've talked about this beforethe way we talk about things
again, just talking about thisstuff as if it's a drug comes
with this negative connotationand it's just better to reframe
things and talk about it.
Ok, so Right.
Next question OK, Oil, gummiesor capsules, what's your go to?
(03:40):
Or do you have a go to?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Well, I actually actually think the tincture, the
oil, is the best administration, um, and sometimes it's just
about a personal preference.
So, however, it's put togetherum.
The only thing I am like antiis smoking or vaping yeah,
because that comes with anegative health.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, it's got a whole health connect.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You know anti-health piece, um, but I see the.
The tincture is the best forbioavailability.
Tincture is the oil that goesunder your tongue.
So it's basically coconut oil,exactly coconut oil, and cbd,
and that's it.
So you hold it under yourtongue and then you know, and
again on an empty stomach and itdoesn't really have to go
(04:28):
through the digestive processthat both the capsule and a
gummy would have to.
So a capsule breaks down morerapidly than that would be my
second go-to.
The caps break down.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So what would be if the tincture is the most
effective way to do?
It is the reason why peoplewould opt, like personal
preference, to do, let's say, anedible, a gummy or whatever
that might be, just becausemaybe they don't like the taste
of it or the feeling of it whenit goes in.
It's just, that's all.
That's all it would be Like.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Ideally, you should do the, you would take the
tincture because it works mosteffectively the tinctures work
the most or the most rapidly andthe most effectively without
any negative health.
So what?
What works the most rapidly isthe smoking, but it's got all
these negative um connections toit.
So, no, it's not the best.
(05:20):
The best is the tincture underthe tongue, bioavailability and
all of that, and how it'sabsorbed and again taken on an
empty stomach.
The capsules have to go throughthe digestive process.
They break down easier than thegummies.
The gummies take even longer tobreak down because then it's
not just a gel cap or, you know,a vegan cap that it has to get
(05:41):
through.
It's breaking down the what'sput the gummy together.
So it's having to break allthat down.
So, and it does come down topersonal preference, older
people, like people older thanme in their seventies and
eighties and nineties, actuallyprefer the capsules because many
(06:04):
of them are used to takingvitamins and minerals and
sometimes medications.
That's just another pill thatyou put in.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It's just another pill they could drop into their
monday through friday, or theirseven-day pill, giant pill
regimen or whatever right,exactly, exactly that's.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
That's exactly why that, for that administration,
is easiest.
People that are our age,between that 40, you know,
40-ish and 65-ish, you know, welike the tinctures because we
understand the benefit.
We do all that.
The younger people have atendency to like the gummies
just because it has a more of arecreational feel.
(06:41):
Even though it's not a drug andthey're not going to get high
on it, they like it and it's noteven that sweet.
Some of them are really sweet.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
The cannabis ones are really sweet.
I know that, yeah Well, theyhave to add sugar because the
cannabis is really bitter.
Yeah, oh yeah, they got to puta lot of sugar in them.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, yeah so.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That's my preferred method.
Yeah, the Veritas.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Farmsmies.
They're.
They're peaceful mind gummiesand they're sleep gummies.
They have also passion flowerand lemongrass and lemon balm.
They have different thingsadded to it so it changes the
flavor.
It's not just.
But they're vegan and they're.
You know they're.
They're small, they don't haveany sugar and they each have 50
(07:22):
milligrams of the full spectrumCBD.
So people like those and Idon't know why, but gummies are
at least expensive of all theproducts as well.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah Right, so in general, the gummies seem to be
the least expensive when itcomes to hemp supplements.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Speaking of calming effects and helping with sleep
can CBD this is the nextquestion I got for you can CBD
really help with anxiety?
Because I think a lot of peoplethat are unfamiliar they hear
that like, yeah, I know for me,anyway, my personal experience
(08:04):
in working with cannabis and Iknow this is true for many
people cannabis can actually, inmany cases, induce anxiety
because it's an intense feelingand it can create that panic.
What about CBD?
Is this really something and Iknow we've talked about this on
previous episodes and I know itdoes but I just want to get your
spin on that.
Like, how does it work toreduce anxiety?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, it works in the brain.
It works on what we all have asan endocannabinoid system, so
on those particularneurotransmitters.
It triggers that and it seemsto create different effects in
the brain which then helps tobring down the anxiety.
So it works on inflammation andanxiety.
According to all of the studiesand the anecdotal you know I
(08:50):
have, I mean 1000 differentpeople have come through my
doors over the years and I'venever had anybody tell me it
didn't work on their anxiety.
And if you take care of theanxiety it often helps with your
sleep.
There's some, some of the sleepproducts have an extra
ingredient.
That's from the C, that fromthe hemp plant called CBN.
(09:11):
Cbn is specifically for sleep,so a lot of the sleep products
will have that added to it.
So it adds, you know, a littlebit extra for sleep itself.
But at the end of the day theyall seem to help with anxiety.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
They act on the dreamy receptors, yeah, so so,
speaking also of sleep, how longdoes it usually and obviously
this depends on the method wetalked about the, the, the uh,
the tincture versus the gummies.
But like, if you're going totake something for sleep with
the tincture, for instance, isthat something that?
Okay, I'm getting ready to goto sleep?
You want to take like like 15minutes before sleep, a half
(09:49):
hour, an hour.
Same thing for gummies.
Do you want to take an hourbefore?
What's the timing?
How long does it take to kickin Again?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
because of the, because of how they're absorbed
in the body.
The tincture you take, thetincture get, get yourself ready
for bed and get into bed.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So 15 minutes it just goes right yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yes.
The next is the gummies, oreven the capsules.
I haven't I don't think I haveany capsules for sleep.
No, it's just the gummies orthe tinctures and I haven't
actually seen any capsulesspecifically for sleep.
You wonder why that is, I don'tknow.
I just thought of that Sleepcapsules going you, I wonder why
(10:24):
that is, I don't know, I justthought of that Sleep capsules
going.
Gummy, you take about an hourbefore bed because, it still has
to go through the digestiveprocess.
So you take your gummy and youuse it as a way to start getting
ready for bed.
So having good sleep hygienealso helps with better sleep.
Having, like you, go to bed ata regular time.
You're not on your phone andyou're not on the computer, not
(10:46):
watching TV, you like.
Turn off all the electronicsbecause of the electromagnetic
fields, yep, you know, start towind down about an hour before
bed anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So, as per usual, yeah, these things become a lot
easier when you, when you do thework to develop habits, like
these medicines that we'retalking about, cbds.
They are just tools, right, andand I want to encourage people
to get away from taking thesetools and using them as a
replacement for creating thedaily habits and doing the hard
(11:17):
work that's going to cause thenyou're just, then, you're just
using a drug at that point.
So, is it okay?
From your experience, I'm sureit is okay, but, like, is this
something that you want to betaking daily?
Like, let's say, you haveproblems sleeping, right?
Do you want to be taking theCBD every day for the sleep If
you're not doing the other thing?
Like, right, if you're notdoing the, do you want to?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
use it.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, because there's like a fine line between
between these two things.
Right, it becomes very easy forhuman beings and we're
creatures of habit and we tendto go towards comfortability.
So if there's a way for us totake a cheat, a shortcut and
right and not you know, and yeah, scroll on your phone before
sleep and get all the blue lightand all that crap and then just
take the gummy, what the hellright Like, is that negative in
(12:03):
your mind to do that?
Should somebody be moderatingtheir intake when it comes to
taking it for something likesleep or their anxiety?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Well, there are people that will just take it.
They just take it.
They don't try to change any ofthe other behaviors.
And that's no different withanybody else that's used to
taking medications.
It just has less side effects.
Most medications have sideeffects.
The CBD doesn't seem to havethe same side effects.
It only has the positive, sortof like vitamin C.
(12:33):
It doesn't really have anynegative to take too much.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
So the answer is yes, you could take it every day.
It doesn't have any sideeffects, but you should also
develop daily habits and dothings that are going to
increase your and then and thenmaybe you don't need it every
day after a while, but it's notgoing to hurt.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
No, I've had people come off of it.
I've had people stop and say,wow, those couple of months that
I needed it.
It was amazing and wonderfuland I'm so grateful that you
know I've gotten all these otherthings in line in my life and I
don't need it because as amarriage and family therapist,
as somebody who's dealing withpeople's trauma and anxiety and
all the things that are going onin their life on a regular
(13:11):
basis, I'm offering peopleskills to deal with the specific
behaviors that have beenimpacting their sleep or
increasing their anxiety ormaking their bodies not work to
their optimal you know, at theiroptimal.
So when people are coming to me, they're working on both at the
same time.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
A win-win situation.
It's a win-win for people, Icould only imagine.
Just like anything else, if youtake it regularly, the body
will ultimately develop atolerance and you need to take
more of it.
Or is that not the case withCVs?
Because I can see if you takeit every night, at some point
it's like hey, it's not workingas well, Maybe I'll take two of
them, and then it could become athing where you're just like
(13:54):
eventually it just doesn't workfor you.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
No, and I do know people that will stop taking it
for a period of time becausethey're concerned about that.
But I have yet to see anystudies where you actually
develop a tolerance to CBD.
I've seen studies where peopleare developing tolerances to THC
, but because Guilty.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
And exactly, hemp is not a drug, it's a supplement.
So, like I take magnesium everyday, I take vitamin C every day
.
Not together, they don't gotogether.
Um, you know, I take vitaminsevery day and I probably will
for the rest of my life, becauseit keeps me away from
medications, it keeps me healthy.
You know, I eat a decent diet.
(14:42):
I try to get exercise, maybenot as much as I need to get,
but you know, that's we're all.
We're all a work in progress.
But CBD I've never had anybodydevelop a tolerance over that.
You know, in my experience hasonly been since 2018.
Experience has only been since2018.
(15:05):
I've seen anybody develop atolerance.
What I've seen is that peopleget to a place where it's like
oh, I didn't need it tonight, Idon't need it every night, I
don't need it every day.
Oh, my anxiety is in betterorder.
Oh my, you know, I'm actuallyfeeling like, like I've got a
little bit more mobility and,wow, because the pain has
decreased, I'm sleeping better,because the anxiety is down, I'm
(15:27):
moving through my day easierbecause I've added meditation,
I've added doing other things.
So, yes, it's a supplement,it's not a drug.
People don't become addicted toit.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I think that is a very important distinction and a
way to frame this and look atit from the outside.
If you don't have an experiencewith this because I think I'm
guilty of being one that looksat it more like a drug, but it
is just that, right.
It is a supplement, right.
It's just like you said.
It's very similar to dailyvitamins.
It has that low of a riskfactor associated with it, if
(16:03):
anything.
Right Like there's no cases ofanybody getting hurt from CBD
that I'm aware of Sleepingbetter people sleeping.
Yeah, okay.
Next question Go for it.
Full spectrum versus isolate.
What's the difference?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Full spectrum means that it has all of the
ingredients of the hemp plant,meaning that it's got a.
What people are looking for, orlistening for, is the THC.
So in this country it has to beless than 0.3% THC Delta 9, in
order to be legal, federallylegal.
(16:40):
And when it's federally legal,it's because they consider it to
be a supplement, not a drug andall that good stuff.
So some of it's just political.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Hold on so the strains of cannabis that I get
with a 28% THC or whatever it isthose are not supplements.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Those are not supplements, those are actually
Dang I thought I was takingsupplements every day.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Oh, what am I doing?
Not supplements, those areactually.
I thought I was takingsupplements every day.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Oh, what am I doing?
Well, what they have started todo with the 28 ones that are 10
and 10 and 30 percent 40they're adding cbd to it.
They're adding cbd to thoseproducts because they know that
it's the cbd that's really themost helpful.
I honestly believe and this isjust my belief the THC and the
marijuana just makes youuninterested in what's going on.
(17:26):
It doesn't actually fix it.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It does wonders for your creativity, though it's
done wonders for my musicalinspiration.
I get inspired all the timefrom it.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
That's one of the main reasons and they have many
different strains, so you canfind something that will do
basically anything you want.
And that's the whole thing withsativa and indica.
And hemp is considered anindica, which means that in the
marijuana industry they sayindica means in the couch, and
that's how you know it.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Love my indicas.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, but hemp is considered an indica because it
is not something that givespeople energy or things like
that, it's really just yeah.
And they're cloning more andmore of the hemp plants to have
other ingredients as theirprimary.
I heard that they were doingcloning with CBG, cloning with
(18:28):
CBG.
Cbg is another ingredient inthe hemp plant where CBD has
been the primary ingredient.
They have isolated the CBG,which they believe is a stronger
, more powerfulanti-inflammatory, and that they
want the plants then, andbecause they can clone and they
make all these different littlehybrids, like they have with the
marijuana industry, wherethey've made all these different
(18:48):
strains, they're creatingstrains, so to speak, that are
CBG prevalent, that they're morewith CBG, cbg, cbg.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I know CBN, cbf, cbh, cb.
We're going on the wholealphabet here, okay?
So, uh, full spectrum, got that?
What about the the isolate?
So the isolate is on the otherside of that, you're gonna it's
where it takes everything out.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
There's nothing else in it except cbd okay.
And some people.
I do carry that product as well.
I carry that in a tincture form.
I used to carry gummies, butthey weren't.
Several companies have stoppedbecause they didn't find them as
effective.
So the CBD isolate is really,for people that are terrified of
(19:38):
even the trace amount of THC,worried about a drug test, that
kind of thing, right Well, andit's not just a drug test.
Itried about a drug test thatkind of thing, Right, Well, and
it's not just a drug test, it'sa specific drug test.
So people that take the isolateare the ones with a CDL, ones
that work for the federalgovernment.
It is so interesting becausethe federal government that's
(19:58):
federally legal, but the federalgovernment has said no, but the
federal government has said no.
So the isolate are the peoplethat are in professional sports,
the yeah, so as professionalsports people that are in drug
rehabs, they'll take CBD butthey want to take the isolate so
that there's no opportunitythat they would ever test
(20:21):
positive.
The challenge is for anybodythat has smoked marijuana that
they're trying to shift it toCBD.
They can still test positivefor up to a year afterwards
because THC gets stored into thebody, the adipose tissue.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, so, so so taking.
So if you stop taking, if youstop cannabis, you have like
fatty deposits, you have sometrace.
And if you keep taking the CBDwith a little bit of THC in it,
it keeps it kind of stimulatedfor an extra time.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
No, no, no, marijuana will.
You'll flush through.
You know you'll end up with anegative tox screen within a
month.
Yeah, that's what I thought Ifyou smoke marijuana regularly
and then you quit, you couldstill test, even though you
could say I don't smoke anymore,I don't.
You could still test positivefor up to a year because it gets
(21:09):
stored into the body, into theadipose tissue, hemp.
It doesn't store it becauseit's a trace amount.
It doesn't have enough to store.
It doesn't have enough tocreate that kind of a genetic
profile.
Have enough to create that kindof a genetic profile and you
know realistically if you'retruly afraid and people will
(21:30):
give children isolates, eventhough you're supposed to be 18
before you do CBD or any of that.
Many parents will give theirkids CBD without any negative
effect at all, with actuallypositive results for treating
attention deficit issues andattention deficit hyperactivity.
You know all of those kiddisorders.
Parents will do that instead ofgiving their kid medication
(21:54):
with they've reported.
I've never had a parent say, ah, it didn't work.
Every parent that's ever doneit has said where can I get more
?
You know that they actuallywant to keep purchasing it
because it has said where can Iget more?
Yeah, you know that theyactually want to keep purchasing
it because it has been soeffective for helping their kid
function well in school andthat's what most parents want.
You know we are so inundatedwith information and you know
(22:16):
all the things that are comingat us with electronics.
Many kids have attention issues.
Many kids have hyperactivityissues because they don't ever
get any downtime.
They're always on a you know, uh, like this, like what we're
doing.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
It's a real problem, for sure.
I.
I know myself like I.
I've become, like at manyothers, super, super hooked on
the phone.
It follows me everywhere.
I started leaving it Like I'llput it away.
I get up in the morning, Ileave it upstairs charging.
I don't even look at it now,for at least I try not to for at
least a half an hour after Iget up.
That's the last thing I need todo.
People I see people all thetime.
(22:56):
I don't see them, but I knowthat people get up is they roll
over, they grab their phone andthey're scrolling on social
media.
Looking at it's like how couldthat be good for you?
And it seems so toxic to wakeup like that, Like I want to go
out for a walk, I want to go sitin the sun, I want to go
meditate, I want to chill.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
No more craziness in the morning for me, please.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, it's awesome to be able to do that.
I know I'm guilty with thephone.
I have a tendency to turn myphone off at night so that it's
off in the morning even when Iget up.
Yeah, and I don't need thealarm anymore.
Right, like, as you get older,you get to a point where you're
just your biological clock, likeit wakes you up regardless,
like you know, unless I got towake up at like five o'clock,
like I'm getting up everymorning at six, seven, like I'm
not.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yeah, no.
And if I have to set an alarmfor whatever reason, like take
somebody to the airport orwhatever, I don't sleep well
that night because then I'mwaking up every night you have
anxiety about the fact that thealarm is going off.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You need a gummy for that.
Jeez, yeah, marilisa.
What's one mistake that you seepeople make most when they try
CBD for the first time?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Oh, I tried it, it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
They take it like one time they take it once and it
doesn't give them the magicalinstant gratification, instant
effects that they're looking forand they think that yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
So I do a lot of education.
When anybody comes in or callsme or wants to know, tell me
about this stuff.
It is not a drug you do need.
You need to take it regularly.
You need to take it every day,preferably at the same time.
When somebody is first brandnew, just starting it, I tell
(24:36):
them give yourself a week.
So within three days of takingthe dose that you're taking, I
tell people to go low, go slow,go low.
That's you know where I say goslow, go low.
Start with a low dosage.
Give yourself three days oftaking it at that dosage to see
if it works.
(24:56):
If you don't notice any changeor you don't notice enough of
the change, increase it andevery because everybody's
different.
You have no idea what is yourdose and just I can give you my
family, like mine, is low.
I don't need much at all.
I will randomly take a gummybecause my life pretty much
(25:19):
flows.
I don't really have a lot ofanxiety or stress I mean, other
than like somebody selling mythe building and moving into a
new place.
Moving in there my anxiety wasa little high but in general I'm
pretty chill.
I mean, you've known me a while, you know I'm pretty chill, so
if I take something it's a verylow dose.
Family members I've got severalfamily members who take the
(25:43):
highest dose.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
So what is the highest dose?
Is there too much?
What happens if you took like10 times the highest dose?
Is there any negativeconsequences, or is it just the
same as taking too much of asupplement and a vitamin?
Obviously, too much of anythingcan create problems, but is
there too much?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
There's no medical evidence that I've seen and
somebody you know if anybody'swilling to correct me or show me
studies to the contrary.
There's nothing negative If youtake too much.
It's just not effective.
So what I have seen and whatI've read is that the maximum
dosage per day, spread out intodoses, is a hundred milligrams.
Okay, so that would be liketaking a 3,000 milligram
(26:26):
tincture and I only have that inan isolate, because that would
be.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
You know, that would be 100 milligrams A month worth
of A day you know.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
So that seems to be the maximum that has any
efficacy.
It's not effective if you takemore.
I have known people that havetaken more and they're really
high-strung people and itdoesn't have any negative impact
on them at all and they justtake it in divided doses through
the day.
So everybody's different.
(26:56):
That's the whole piece.
There is no set you take this,but that's true with a lot of
different medications.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
It's player dependent .
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Take this but that's true with a lot of different
medications.
It's player dependent.
Absolutely Play around with it,see what it is that works best
for you, and I tell peoplewithin a week.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
you should know what works best for you.
So cause I've heard forcannabis that there is also much
the same.
There is no too much.
There's no lethal dose Like theonly.
From my experience, the onlyrisk you have when you ingest
too much cannabis is that oneyou're going to pass out, or two
you're going to eat everythingin your house Beyond that, like
you're not going to tell meabout their anxiety or get
anxiety, but in terms of likeit's not.
(27:36):
it's not lethal or toxic in theway that, like opiates, are
right when, if you take too muchof that, it will stop your
heart.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Nobody's going to die from it.
You're not going to die from anoverdose of any kind of
cannabis.
So no, and you're right, theymight gain weight, they might
sleep too much, but other thanthat, no, there's not any real
negative.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
There's nothing negative.
That's why I continue to offerit as an option.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I offer it as an option towards people's healing,
when people are trying to healthe things that they've come in
to talk to me about.
You know it's just one of theoptions the crystals, the
essential oils, lavender I'm abig lavender person.
Yeah, meditation there's somany different things that I
(28:25):
offer to people and it's findsomething that works for you you
know, talk to mediums.
I have mediums.
I actually have a tarot card.
Who's a tarot card reader,who's also a medium.
She's here in this office onFridays now, from 1 to 5.
(28:46):
And she's really awesome.
So she'll be here actuallylater today, since today is
Friday, and I just love watchingher work.
When I've seen her work, it'slike, oh, that's really cool,
because she just starts flippingcards and telling you a story
and it's like wh, like oh, I'vehad many people walk out of my
office crying because they'relike, wow, that was so powerful,
(29:09):
that was so spot on.
That was like, oh, I reallyneed to make changes with my
life.
It's just interesting, um, butI'm, I'm open to anything that
is helpful and if any of theenergetic healing that I offer
here as a service, if none ofthat works, I work with
(29:31):
Greenbrook.
Greenbrook does the esketamine,so it's a ketamine, the nasal
ketamine, and they do the TMS,the transcranial, transmagnetic
stimulation.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I'm familiar with both of those therapies.
I had somebody on the podcast awhile ago who's right down the
road from me, who administers.
You know, I went to the actualin-person.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, blue Wave, yep, blue Wave yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Shout out.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Eric Robbins Blue Umbrella.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yes, Blue Umbrella.
I have actually a personalfriend who's there now you know
doing, you know receivingtreatment.
Again, I know somebody elsethat did the TMS there and is
now doing the ischemia.
I know people at Green BookGreen Book and Blue Umbrella.
They're both local, they'reboth providing very similar
service, they provide the sameservices, and some of that's
(30:27):
just about what is yourinsurance cover, Because that's
where you start to get into someof it as well, Because in you
know, insurance doesn't covermetaphysical treatment,
Insurance doesn't coveraromatherapy and hemp and you
know tarot and Oracle card andmediums and it doesn't cover any
of that.
But it is a healing modality.
And that's the sad part.
(30:47):
You know that it doesn't offerany um.
There's no medical.
There's lots of medical stuffthat it does help with.
I'm reading Edgar Cayce's lifestory that's.
That's a whole other.
That's a whole other story.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
A whole other story for a whole other day.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yes indeed.
Any other questions.
What else do you want to throwat me?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
All right.
One last thing before we wrapup here.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Just one, and you may have already touched on it, but
touch on it again in caseanybody missed it the one thing
that you'd like everybody toknow about CBD.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
It is not a drug.
It's a supplement.
Nobody's ever overdosed on it.
Nobody's ever had a bad trip.
It's just an option.
At the end of the day, it'sjust an option.
There are many.
At the end of the day, it'sjust an option.
