0:00.0	I'm extremely excited to announce a brand new sponsor for the Behind the Shield podcast, and that is Rescue One CBD.
0:07.3	For any of you have listened to this podcast for the last eight years, you would have heard my own personal journey from using prescription pills after a knee surgery to finding CBD and having incredible success with that.
0:20.1	I then saw my son's wheezing diminish, my wife's
0:23.1	anxiety, and so many more kind of success stories. The problem is, though, I've also seen the
0:29.4	stigma and misunderstanding about this incredibly powerful plant medicine. When it comes to workplace
0:35.7	drug testing, it's THC that they are looking for. The concentration
0:39.9	is high in marijuana, but there is a small amount in most CBD products. And with John being a
0:46.0	veteran firefighter paramedic himself, he was determined to find a product that was pure that would
0:52.1	ensure there was nothing in there that would put someone's
0:55.5	career at risk. So he developed a three-tier system. The third-party testing facility tests

1:30.0	Thirdly, they've just finished a year-long study with the University of Maryland and Arcadia University,
1:36.4	and firefighters from all over the country sent in their urine samples and not a single person failed a drug test.
1:44.0	So you have three different tiers of trust
1:46.4	with this particular product. Now they have different flavors for their CBD. For anyone that's
1:51.3	had it that's just the CBD oil, it does not taste good. So they found a way of make it more palatable.
1:56.5	They have a sleep remedy that has terpenes in, again completely safe. That one's called out of service.
2:02.6	And then topical CBD, obviously, for aches and pains on the outside.
