Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol free life!
Health & Fitness
Professor David Nutt was sacked by the UK government in 2009. He was dismissed for reporting on the comparative harms of various drugs. He claimed that ecstasy and LSD were less dangerous than alcohol which didn’t go down well as the government would not even acknowledge that alcohol was a drug in the first place!
In 2010 he published a landmark study in The Lancet – a study that ranked the harm done to users and society by a range of drugs. His study put alcohol as number one – as more harmful to society than heroin and crack.
Since leaving his government position Professor Nutt has been chairing Drugs Science, an NGO which does ground breaking research and provides independent, evidence based information on drugs.
He’s been engaged in some fascinating research into alcohol, cannabis and psychedelics and for the last few years he’s been working on the development of a drink which has just been launched in the UK – called Sentia.
Sentia is a new type of drink that doesn’t contain alcohol but aims to recreate its relaxing effects. The blend of botanicals in Sentia does this by enhancing the activity of a neurotransmitter called GABA in the brain.
Since recording the interview I’ve been lucky enough to sample Sentia and can report that not only is it delicious but it certainly does hit the spot and deliver a gentle buzz.
I drank mine neat with lots of ice and enjoyed the spicy bitterness.
Our lucky UK listeners will be able to order it right now and hopefully those of us in the rest of the world will get to sample it soon.
