The Truth About Marijuana: What You’re Not Hearing

In this episode of Treatment Redefined, David Kniffen Jr., CEO of Enterhealth, sits down with Dr. Harold Urschel, Chief Medical Strategist, for an honest and eye-opening conversation about the realities of marijuana use, addiction, and the consequences of rising THC potency.

As legalization spreads across the country, so does misinformation. Dr. Urschel explains how today's marijuana is far more potent than in decades past, with THC levels reaching up to 99% in some concentrates. He breaks down how this increase in potency, especially among younger users, is linked to a sharp rise in addiction, psychosis, suicidality, and long-term brain damage. The discussion also covers the science behind marijuana’s impact on heart health, lung function, and mental health, particularly for adolescents.

Together, they explore how society’s perception of marijuana harm is declining while usage is on the rise, and how this mirrors the same business tactics once used by Big Tobacco. From the challenges of treating addiction to the critical need for public education, this episode goes deep into what many aren’t saying about cannabis.

If you're a parent, educator, policymaker, or healthcare professional—or simply someone trying to understand the bigger picture around marijuana—this conversation is a must-watch.
