Cannabis is widely used for relaxation and is increasingly prescribed for therapeutic purposes. But what effect does it have on our internal “balance”?In this episode, Thom addresses a listener's question about the relationship between cannabis use and the gunas—the balancing agents of Nature, as described in the Vedic worldview.Thom explains why cannabis has an impact on the body, how it interacts with our natural systems, and why our body’s own “endogenous cannabinoids” provide a more sustainable and beneficial effect on our physiology.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - How does cannabis influence the three gunas?[01:20] A - Gunas - Balance Agents of Nature[04:27] Rajas and Tamas - Change and Inertia[07:52] Go Beyond the Three Gunas[11:32] Too Many Spinning Plates[13:47] Endogenous and Exogenous Cannabinoids[17:06] Endocannabinoids from Vedic Meditation[20:11] Like Riding a Bike[22:23] A Balanced State of ConsciousnessUseful [email protected] https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
