Dr. Amrit Baral, a physician-scientist, epidemiologist, and biostatistician, breaks down the science of cannabis, its effects on the human body, and the debate over cannabis legalization in Nepal. We explore how cannabis interacts with the human endocannabinoid system and how its active compounds, including THC and CBD, affect the brain and body. Is cannabis medicine or a drug? Can cannabis cause psychosis, panic attacks, or other mental health issues? Dr. Amrit explains the potential risks, why age matters when considering cannabis use, and how tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal work. The conversation also examines whether cannabis improves sleep or creativity, its potential long-term effects on memory, and the health concerns associated with cannabis vaping, edibles, and heart health. We discuss who should be particularly cautious about cannabis and why its effects can differ from person to person. Beyond the science, we explore cannabis legalization around the world, lessons from Thailand, the debate surrounding Gandaki Pradesh, and the concerns Nepal should consider before changing its cannabis laws. The episode also introduces psychedelics and explains how they differ from cannabis. Whether you're curious about cannabis research, marijuana side effects, mental health, cannabis addiction, or drug policy, this conversation offers a science-focused perspective to help you understand the evidence and ask better questions.
