I do believe that there is exciting work being done in this area that needs to continue on psychedelic therapies for PTSD in veterans, for mental health issues.

And some of the researchers who are doing this work have said it's some of the most promising and exciting of their entire careers.

So I look forward to following that.

But to be very clear, under no circumstances would I recommend that to the American people in this role.

Our illicit drug use problem in our country is monumental and severe.

And I look forward to working with you on these issues that are so important.

Yeah, in that passage of the book, I'm referring to my mother's passing, which happened, she got a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer about a week after that experience.

And in my

meditations and prayers at that time, I was having a deep sense that something ominous was coming.

We've got a huge percentage of American women on birth control pills.

That's, of course, hopefully post-puberty.

But we're putting women on exogenous estrogens for acne, for PCOS, for menstrual regularity, sometimes, of course, for actual birth control.

But it's very ubiquitous now in the environment.

And when you kind of know this stuff, you're like...

How are we allowing this to happen?

And then, of course, it's affecting boys too, right?

You know, and so I kind of just think about this world we're living in where it's tons of estrogens.

It's not like there's a bunch of exogenous testosterone, right?

It's like with vaccines, it's like, yeah, I bet that one vaccine probably isn't causing autism.

But what about the 20 that they're getting before 18 months?
