@hubermanlab 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.
@hubermanlab 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.

Hallowe'en horror movie season will be getting an early start this year, as my horror movie countdown list for 2023 is going to be the best horror movie of each year for the last 50 years in what I call #50yearsofhorror
Get your scorecards ready to see how many you've seen!
1973 - The Exorcist
Given that the requel is coming next month, no better way to start a horror countdown then with one of the true GOATs of horror.
50 years later this movie still holds as one of the scariest movies of all time. If you somehow haven't seen it, correct that.

Very excited that this collaborative paper with @Heilig_Lab and the amazing @MayoOnTheBrain is finally out. Its a big one too! The first demonstration that pharmacological inhibition of FAAH in humans dampens stress responses and augments fear extinction sciencedirect.com/science/articl…@Heilig_Lab@MayoOnTheBrain With all of the negative attention paid to failure of rodent-human translational studies, I think its important to highlight successes. I am going to have a thread now detailing some of the background to this to provide an example of how translational science can work.

Alex, honestly just stop this. Multiple credible scientists have spoken out to media about you, why are you doing this. I cant believe you would be so petty to go after @zivacooper in a blind tweet like this. Now you’re getting another rant.
First, to try and paint Ziva as an advocate and separate her from the committee is ridiculous. Most of them arent on twitter and most people upset at you are too busy to spend the amount of time I have going after you to correct your multiple errors. But more so...1/n
