Change the Game

We host Super Bowl XLVII (2013) winner Kelechi Osemele for a sports focused episode!  HLI cast member Anna Symonds weighs in heavily having won both the USA Rugby Division I National Championship and Sydney Premiership Championship.  The episode begins with a game reviewing shifting cannabis and psychedelics regulations around the world.  Next the group discusses the relationship between elite athleticism and psychedelics, spurred by news that NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers will speak on his personal experiences at Psychedelic Science 2023.  The episode wraps up with analysis of a literature review about the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids through a sports medicine lens.
