I don't tell people what to do.

I don't prescribe anything.

I profess many, many things.

And you should do as you decide is best for you, but just know what you're doing.

And here's the deal, that drugs like Adderall, Vyvanse, et cetera, are indeed amphetamines.

That's true.

In the young brain, they can help enhance some of the neuromodulators that allow for

elevated activity in areas like the prefrontal cortex and elsewhere that allow for more focused attention and less impulsivity because the main function of the prefrontal cortex, as you may all recall, is to say shh to the particular areas of the brain that want to move or cause us to move or cause us to blurt things out like DMT or whatever it is.

Sorry, I didn't mean to pick on you.

We'll do DMT together.

We'll do some MDMA also and then we'll be like heart medicine.

So

The reality is that there are neurochemical tools that can help with ADHD, but there are also behavioral tools.

And in countries outside of the US, namely in China, there are extensive efforts to train young people to focus.

for longer periods of time.

And believe it or not, they're not doing that, at least in these experiments, through any draconian approach.

They actually have them do what?

They have them focus on visual targets.

The longer you focus on a visual target, we know, the longer you bring about the activation of certain neural circuits in the brain that allow for better focus.

And while not everything is about vision, it is certainly the case, based on those studies,
