    Snoring might be the sound you notice, but the real danger of obstructive sleep apnea is what you don’t hear: your brain repeatedly yanking you out of deep sleep to keep you breathing, over and over, all night long.

    Medical Marijuana is More than Smoke and Mirrors

    29/04/2026 | 32 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    Javonte Maynor joins family doctor and medical marijuana expert Dr. Erich Schramm to discuss the changing space of marijuana research and medical marijuana in the United States. The duo discuss the frustration with politics entering the medical space when it comes to marijuana, and how changing administrations can delay research. The two get into the nuts and bolts of marijuana research, including the hoops needed to perform research, conditions being treated, and a study that may be coming soon. Dr. Schramm also explains his role prescribing marijuana for the last several years and what that entails from a legal standpoint. The two then imagine what may happen to these processes if marijuana is rescheduled from a Schedule 1 to a prescribable Schedule 3 drug; including to dispensaries, the pharmaceutical industry, and current prescribing doctors.
