What, you know, does that scare you? Some people are petrified. They're not going to go anywhere near that. Some people say, yeah, I'm not that concerned about it. And most people do come in with some

friends at work, family members, X, Y, or Z, you know, they think they know what the drug is likely to have as an effect on them. And I tend to, at least as a starting point, listen to that. And now, I mean, there are certain reasons I absolutely would not. I mean, my worry, again, I saw more of it than I think most people in a higher rate with amphetamine-induced psychosis. But

Yeah. I mean, you could actually play that both ways. I mean, you could claim that if they've already been on an agent without developing psychosis, then maybe they're more impervious to that as a potential side effect. Or where you were coming more from is if we're already on one agent that's pushing them that direction, why the heck would you ever add another that could also?
