Its my bday (43) and since last years vanity post about my transformation I've had lots of messages asking about tips to get in shape. As New Years is when people get healthy, for my bday this year I figured I'd share some things I've learned that may help some of you get going.

I'm 42 today, and at the risk of seeming like a vain douche, I am proud of the transformation I have managed to make in myself over the last year and a half. Its an amazing thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. 39 (245 lb) vs 42 (195 lb)

From someone who has studied this field for over 2 decades, I can comfortably say that virtually everything said here is inaccurate. It is incredibly disturbing to me that someone claiming to be a scientist can talk with such authority on something they clearly know nothing about

How could I be confident that you would allow our discussion to be aired unedited? You would have complete control over what is displayed publicly after the fact, which could definitely influence the interpretation of any discussion we had.

For people who are actually interested in understanding the science of cannabis, I would recommend visiting cciceducation.com where open access lectures from actual leaders in the field like @MegHaneyPhD @zivacooper @neurovoice @HillardCece and others can be found.

Amongst all the horror and shittiness of the world right now, there is still beauty. Thank you for sharing this journey of grace with us all Nadia.

Just a few points: CBD and THC are not interchangeable. CBD does not bind CB1, it’s pharmacology is largely a mystery. THC does not trigger retrograde signaling, that’s endocannabinoids. THC binds to the same receptor as endocannabinoids.

This has actually happened and is now out. A few things. First, don’t expect fireworks here, this is a very science focused episode not a brawl between @hubermanlab and myself. This was an opportunity to utilize his platform to accurately convey the state of cannabis science.

Holy fucking shit, it is actually disturbing how inaccurate the overwhelming majority of what is said here is. Like I have to believe that you have legitimately just made this stuff up. There is literally no research that has ever been done that could be cited to support this.

Heres a crux am curious what people think. I have been openly critical of his approach to sci comm and so do not want to legitimize his podcast or him, but also having the opportunity on his platform to go through the problems with what he has said is the only way to correct it.

Would you like to come discuss your stance on cannabis research and use etc. We include references and I consult/ed with colleagues here at Stanford Med and elsewhere prior to this and other episodes but given your post, I would love to have a discussion for people to learn from

There are virtually none, if any, studies that have ever compared sativa and indica strains in any way as he describes here. Virtually all work done with cannabis is only with a strain provided by NIDA. It’s bizarre to me that he talks about this as if there is a wealth of work.

I mean, this shit is almost creepy. This was from over 20 years ago.

As someone who has focused on cannabinoid regulation of the amygdala for the better part of the last 15 years, part of me died inside as I listened to this knowing that this is now the narrative that so many people will believe because who it has come from.

The field generally agrees that there is more variance within sativas and indicas then there is between them. Sure differences in strains likely do exist but this does not relate to sativa or indica. Plus there is actually no research on this as he suggests. It doesn’t exist.
