Potcast 173: Cannabis and Brain Injury Research

Potcast 173 features one of my favorite cannabis scientists to talk about brain injuries and the use of cannabis as a treatment tool for TBI and CTE. You last met Dr. Linda Klumpers during our discussion about tolerance breaks and cannabis during pregnancy on Potcast 155. 

Today Linda and I discuss the basics of brain injury and the varying cognitive and emotional effects. We explore the pitfalls of diagnosing brain injury, what the existing research suggests about cannabis as a neuro-protectant, and the politics blocking researchers and folks like you and me from learning more. I also ask Linda about the long-term implications of head trauma on adult brains and the developing brains of kids. Not everything we talk about is comfortable but everyone deserves the insight to make informed decisions.
