But right now, I’m encouraging you to curb the puff puff pass and listen to Potcast 123 with Elyon Williams for the real-real on the Coronavirus and what you can - and should - do right now to safeguard your personal wellness. Take care of Future You and our global family.
‘After the Show’ Notes
How do you prepare for the Coronavirus to make sure you don’t contract it? Here are some highly relevant -and relatively easy - things to do to set yourself up for success.
Preparation + Readiness = Confidence in a Crisis
Develop Your Body & Home’s Defense System
Gut health is your first line of defense against the Coronavirus or other pathogens. 80% of our immune system is in our gut. You need to seal off your gut. Here are two reputable products with research and reviews of healing the gut. I use both. Total Restore | PreBio Cleanse
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the options I linked above seem too pricey for you, I encourage you to find a pre- and probiotic solution you feel good about. Gut health is mission-critical.
Lung health is the second consideration as respiratory issues (namely pneumonia) are a symptom of the Coronavirus. You need an economical way to protect the lungs from the virus. Drinking 8-10oz of ozonated water twice a day is a great solution as it actively fights off pathogens. But that varies based on your overall health situation.
HEALTH ADVISORY: Always consult your doctor or medical professional before starting therapeutic health programs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not make ozonated water in plastic. Be sure to use a glass container! And be sure to read the manufacturer's informational booklet for best uses and warnings on the particular unit you purchase. Here’s a recommended unit that is portable and costs under $75.
A breathing apparatus will become necessary as the virus gets eradicated. Infected bodies must be incinerated so air quality declines. A simple hospital mask won’t suffice. The N95 particulate respirator mask is better. Keep a mask for each member of your family - and maybe a few extras to help friends or neighbors. It’s nice to be prepared so you can help others.
Prepare your pantry with water and canned food. I’m going to start grabbing a can of something when I pop into the grocery store each week. I’m not saying go nuts. Just make sure Future You and family have shit to eat in the event the grocery store aisles start looking sparse.
Psychological preparation is a key component when preparing for any potential crisis. It’s important to think through a plan that includes neighbors, close friends, and family.
This one is a tip from my daddy: Make sure you keep your car full of gas so you can get gone when you need to.
Not sharing is caring when it comes to the Coronavirus and cannabis. Don’t share joints, bongs, pipes, and vape pens with anyone you’re not kissing. Smoke the shorties so you don’t have to get casually baked on the same full-size joint for two or three sessions. Garden Society’s pre-roll rosettes are a perfect size for a personal smoke sesh. And use ozonated water in your bong!
And now you’re prepared for the Coronavirus and the zombie apocalypse.
(You’re welcome.)
Moments of uncertainty are a great time to practice being a good human, and use your superpower to help the world.
