Today on the show we discuss: why today’s weed is far more potent and risky than the marijuana many people grew up hearing about, how high-THC products can impact anxiety, depression, sleep, psychosis, withdrawal, and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, why cannabis addiction is often dismissed and misunderstood, how social media is rewiring kids’ brains through dopamine-driven attention loops, why porn, OnlyFans, AI girlfriends, and loneliness are becoming a major crisis for young men, and how sports betting has become one of the fastest-growing behavioral addictions because of constant access through phones and much more.
