Today I’m excited to share my conversation with Dr. Hilary Marusak who is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences at Wayne State University (WSU) School of Medicine in Detroit Michigan.

 We connected a few years ago after her research team published a review paper on the effects of exercise on the endocannabinoid system. 

In this episode we talk about her research related to cannabis and the endocannabinoid system in stress and brain development, the hard parts about doing cannabis-based research, and as always so many ideas for future research. You’ll also hear some great midwestern accents.

**Friendly reminder/disclaimer** I am not suggesting everyone use cannabis with exercise. Cannabis is definitely not for everyone. But if you're curious about your own use, understanding more about why people use cannabis with exercise, or want to learn about the latest research in the field, you're in the right place. Make good choices out there.
