Well, to give you some background, yeah, I guess cannabis is a bit like cultural cannabis.

Huberman Lab

In Birmingham, where I grew up, we have a lot of Jamaicans.

Huberman Lab

So, I mean, Jamaicans, they smoke cannabis, they make tea.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

It's just a cultural thing.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

It's normal for them, right?

Huberman Lab

So it was about, I had a couple of friends that their dads were Jamaican.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

So I was smoking it anyway, but I wasn't smoking it because I thought there was any particular health benefits.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

I was just smoking it and drinking alcohol, like hanging out.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

My friends' dads who were Jamaican were like, oh, this protects against this and we drink tea for this and the women take it for menstrual pain.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

So I kind of heard that, but I'm like, yeah, okay, whatever.

Huberman Lab

And I would smoke occasionally when I was training.

Huberman Lab

And when I went to live in Amsterdam for a little bit, as I said, I did a lot of reading, started reading about it.

Huberman Lab

I started searching for studies and I found those massive, massive health benefits from THC and different cannabinoids.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

Some of it really counterintuitive, I guess, for people.

Huberman Lab

You had Peter Atiyah on here, right?

Huberman Lab

So you asked Peter, I think, what about smoking cannabis?
