it's not allowing those new stem cells to take hold, to take root. You want to strengthen them so they will continue to support mood, memory, spatial orientation, spatial processing.

And mood issues. And judgment and impulse control. But it impacts the brain globally. So the cerebellum, so they're not going to process as quickly. Their decisions are not going to be as good. I worked with my friend, BJ Fogg, who wrote a wonderful book called Tiny Habits. And he's the director of Stanford's Persuasive Technology Lab, which is really on how people change.

And he and I work together because I'm always interested in how I can help my patients better. And I met him at a conference like 18 months after we worked together. And he said, I just want to thank you. I'm like, why? He said, I wake up 100% every day. I'm like, why? I stopped drinking. Because people, and they're around me enough, they either drink more, I suspect, or they stop.

And isn't that what you want? You wake up 100% every day. Why would you ever do anything that damages stem cell production in your brain. One might argue that it's serving me in the short term. Of course. But there are lots of things that are like you see, you know, let's say you're married, but you're at a conference and you see this really cute person.

And you're like, oh, well, in the short run, that could be awesome.

And in the long run, you lose half your net worth and visit your children on the weekends. It's like that's not a good thing. And, you know, in the short run, you feel more relaxed, right? With alcohol, you feel more relaxed. And in the long run, it increases your risk of Alzheimer's disease.

And it's worse if you do it before your brain is finished developing. And so if you think of fraternities and sororities, I'm not a fan of sending children away to college. Yeah. It's because you have all these underdeveloped brains or not fully developed brains. And you put them all together without appropriate adult supervision.

And a lot of bad things happen at fraternity parties and sorority parties.

No, they're still drinking it. Oh, really? There's one second. And now they're adding mushroom parties to it. So it's alcohol and psilocybin and marijuana because everybody thinks marijuana is innocuous, which is a lie. Is it? Not marijuana? It's a lie. Yeah. And I was actually really upset. So President Biden...

So President Biden...

During the time he was running for president, so this is 2019, he's on debate stage with a lot of other people. And they ask him if he would federally legalize marijuana. And he said, I don't think the science is decided. And no, I don't think I would. And Cory Booker, the senator from New Jersey, shamed Biden on national television. He said, man, are you high. which is just horrifying.

And I'm watching this going, the science is actually really clear. Marijuana is bad for the brain. I published a study on 1,000 marijuana users. Every area of their brain is lower in activity. And just today, a study came out in the Journal of the American Medical Association on 1,027 marijuana users. It decreased activity in the hippocampus that affected their memory centers.
