The cannabis available today is much, much stronger than the weed grandma was smoking back in her day and the effects on our brains are much more significant than previously thought. Really, no really! Jason and Peter sought out Dr. Ryan Sultan an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University to understand the underlying reasons for our growing inability to get along but when we had him in studio we also picked his brain relating to his expertise in cannabis. He's also an expert in the areas of anxiety, mood disorders, depression, ADHD, and substance abuse. Ryan graciously agreed to help us understand why Peter has been so edgy lately since he's gone cold turkey off marijuana. IN THIS EPISODE: Peter isn't alone in having a hard time coming off pot. Lung cancer, stroke, anxiety, a shrinking brain? The new huge study on long-term cannabis use. The effects of long term cannabis consumption. What happens to your brain when you stop regular use of pot. Cannabis, rebound anxiety + ADHD. The reason kids should stay away from pot until at least age 25. *** FOLLOW DR.
