My podcast (Dualistic Unity) can be watched on this account, or wherever you listen to podcasts! I recommend starting with S.1 Ep.1 titled "Scratching the Surface" and going from there...

And now a little background on this video:

This is my full experience taking 60mg of THC (6 x 10mg THC edibles) and running over 13 miles around New York City! This was my 6th "gummy run" video, but first on YouTube. You can find episodes 1 - 5 on my tiktok in the "Runs" playlist on my account @notandrewmurnane (linked here: https://www.tiktok.com/@notandrewmurn...) or just scroll through my instagram, which is also @notandrewmurnane.

I started doing the gummy runs because I decided to run the NYC Marathon this year (which is tomorrow 11/5/23 and I hope to see you there!), had to raise $3,500 for the team I was on, and figured they would be a fun way to incorporate running into my content/help me raise the money. I had heard about the benefits of utilizing cannabis for workouts, but had a friend (Timm Chiusano) tell me about incorporating them into runs both to help make the experience a little more intense in certain ways, but very fun in others. For each episode I decided to take the dose of the episode number and I've honestly learned a lot about myself and how much I can actually handle through the episodes.

As you probably noticed in this video, some experiences aren't necessarily super comfortable... but that doesn't mean they're bad! I used to completely avoid any amount on edibles because of a few really tough edible experiences when I was younger. I went through the same sort of feelings back then I was just way quicker to resist and fight them as opposed to let go of my opinion of how I thought I should be feeling and just accept what I was feeling.

All that said, these episodes were also a sort of experiment and a way for me to figure out the best dose for runs to actually enhance the experience rather than make it more difficult. I would say my sweet spot for runs is 5 - 15mg of THC and if you can find one with some CBD and CBG, even better! I can only speak from my experience, but 5 - 15mg helps make the run more fun (especially with music) and your body feel a bit better (sometimes almost feels like you're floating as opposed to pounding the ground). This is def not advice, but if you would like to try it I would say a low dose like 3 - 5mg is great for just about anyone. Once you get above 20mg it can start getting far more mentally intense (again, just in my experience, and I'm certainly no doctor).
