#217: Marijuana VS Pharmaceuticals and The Reticular Activating System

#217: Marijuana VS Pharmaceuticals and The Reticular Activating System

May 1, 2022 By Mikayla Hyde

In this episode of Vitality Radio Podcast Jared starts with a rant inspired by a CNN article about Marijuana use (linked below). He discusses the differences between medical marijuana and commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals including opiates, benzos, and SSRI’s. Jared goes over the side effects of each as well as discusses several studies about the use of these pharmaceuticals in comparison to medicinal marijuana and CBD  products.  

In the second half of the show, Jared talks about the RAS (Reticular Activating System). The RAS is a part of your brain that acts like a super-powerful filter. The RAS allows things that we put a substantial focus on to become automatic. Your RAS helps dictate what you think and believe, which then helps dictate how you feel, which dictates the kind of life you build for yourself.
