Sunday Jun 15, 2025
In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Debi sits down with Cannabis Chemist and educator Alex Eckman to explore real science and lived experience in the world of cannabinoid therapies. From his early dispensary days to his cutting-edge lab research, Alex takes us behind the scenes of everything from the myth of “Sativa vs. Indica” to the risks hidden in vape cartridges — and why the method of consumption matters.
Whether you’re a curious consumer, a health provider, or someone searching for safer alternatives, this conversation is full of lightbulb moments. We talk about minor cannabinoids, emerging research, and how to approach Cannabis use with intention, education, and safety first.
You’ll walk away understanding how to separate hype from helpful and why education around the endocannabinoid system is long overdue in medical training.
