Next question is from hoop golf 89. If you had to quit drinking or weed forever, which would it be? Oh my God, that's easy. Easy. Drinking. Well, they don't even drink. See you later. Well, no, I mean, since the biotics, I now will incorporate some alcohol because it does prevent the shitty feeling the next day, which is why I never drink. I would always feel garbage the day after. But look, if you look at the data, the data now is very clear. Both have their own risks, but if you had to compare them and you're a health and fitness fanatic, of course, both can be abused, both can cause problems. So I'm not saying one is perfect and one isn't, and anything can be abused also. But if you had to compare them both with moderate usage and you wanted to look at effects on body composition, increased heart rate, increased heart disease risk, increased cancer risk, all the stuff, alcohol clearly is worse for your body. Clearly. Alcohol isn't good for your body. Cannabis, on the other hand, marijuana. First off, if you smoke marijuana, that's the worst way to consume it because there's the most negative effects from it. That being said, they have yet to connect smoking marijuana to lung cancer, probably because of the anti-cancer effects of the actual cannabinoids in cannabis. The best way to consume it is to eat it, right? So edible form, so you eliminate that part. Now what are the studies show with cannabis? They have a negative effect on the brain. Yes, it can cause loss of motivation, some issues with serotonin dopamine. But does it cause the negative effects on the body like alcohol? No, not even close. Alcohol is way worse for your body than cannabis. So if I had to pick one, it would be that. But they did. They have shown in studies in terms of developmental minds, there's issues in terms of... Oh yeah, I'm talking about, we can't be talking about underminers right now, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's where my, you know, caution goes out. But like, yes, I, and I've become more of a fan of cannabis because of the cannabinoid all the cannabinoids and you guys. And just, it's kind of an interesting thing. It's not like when you're first exposed to it, when it was illegal and like your friend would show you something, you'd get way too paranoid and it was like a bad experience. Basically, like going straight to like whiskey and you're drinking like nothing but shots instead of like starting with beer. So there's a different way to consume it. You know, if you're more educated around it and you could get high strains of CBD and you don't have to go like completely off the deep end right away. But yeah, it's, to me, I've slowly become more of a fan of it, but I'm still, I mean, occasional whiskey and drinks. So guess your answer. I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with alcohol because it's just in my blood. So you keep it. You keep it. I'm keeping it. I'm keeping it. So you just brought up something though that was kind of an interesting thought that I haven't thought about yet because my son's so young. But I was while you were talking and made me go, oh, you know what? I wonder if I was posed that question. What would I say? So if I had a choice though, so for me, I said no brainer, right? But actually, if my high school son came to me and said, dad, I'm going to smoke weed or I'm going to drink alcohol, I would actually rather him drink alcohol. Okay. Well, hold on. Context matters. Are they both, would they both be non abusive? In other words, yeah. Of course, I would never let my son or encourage any of this. And I would have the right conversation. I'm just saying, if I had, if I had this was the rule, they went out with their buddies every once in a while. They're going to smoke a joint versus, yeah, versus drink. I'd wanted to drink. No way. Even if you look, not for me, even if you look, by the way, by the way, if I should be if I had a son, if you're watching this, do neither. But I'm not saying do you want to watch us. Yeah, no, he doesn't. But at some point, maybe somebody will send him this video. And if I find out, steady becomes a porn star. No, yeah. Yeah, exactly. No, when you look at the developmental effects that cannabis has on the brain, it does. But compare it to alcohol. It's also better. So that's also alcohol also also has some, does some fucking. Dangerous. Yeah, it's definitely there's a dangerous element to alcohol. There is. So here's a part of it. And of course, I mean, we're just playing a game right now. Probably could, you know what? I know where you're going though. And we're in development. Mental mind. Yeah, that's where. But here's the problem. When we grow up, the kids that smoked a lot of weed were fucking losers. Yeah. Because they were, now why, they were willing to be rid of the long, motivated, too. Yes. And everybody drank alcohol. So that's why. And I feel like it's easier to disguise weed throughout the day and do it all the time. Like it's like, you're not as a kid. Although there's acceptance of the role, there's kids that came to school drunk. It's a lot harder to disguise that and do that. I feel like that you can eat it. And because there's so much research around marijuana and that it has some health benefits. That's so bad. That I mean, I, I went, I had this conversation with my brother when, so he was, so he's what, 12 years younger than me. So I was 28 when I was doing the cannabis industry. So was that put him out? 16. 16 years old, right? So he's in high school and his older brother has got dispensary clubs, you know? And so I, and he wasn't really into weed yet, but he was starting to dabble with stuff and drinking all that. And I remember having this conversation with them where my biggest concern was like, listen, I, I really didn't get introduced to this until I was in my late 20s. And I had already had built a career and had success and worked hard and built good habits and fitness and reading and like that had all come together for me already at this, at this point in my life. And then I get introduced this awesome thing that makes me chill out and veg out and watch TV and put my feet up and get the munchies and laugh and have a good time. And absolutely loved it because I had, I had already developed a responsible mind. But being introduced to that, it's such a young age and you get all those cool effects. Totally. I just feel like it's really easy for a young mind to go like, oh, this is totally fine. No big deal. And then before they know it, they're, they're unmotivated and they don't get shit done. I feel like I watched my little brother do that. And he's now getting closer to, is getting closer to 30. And he's still kind of, now he abuses it. Yeah, no, of course. Yeah, well, I'll tell you what, dude. Okay. If you want to talk about abuse, okay, think of people who abuse weed, stoners, fucking, you know, unmotivated, whatever. Think of people who abuse alcohol. Yeah, well, you're fucked. You're fucked. Like you're killed overdoses. Wait, let's calm him though and the high school kids, right? Like you, you really, I mean, I don't even, I think I remember one. Or two kids that, you know, I would consider alcoholics or that were like, sneaking out. You know why though? It's, believe it or not. This is 100% true. When I was in high school, it was harder to get alcohol than it was to get weed. Well, it's still that way today. Yeah. Still that way because it's a regulated, that's another, another reason why again, I would be, I would be more that, I'd be more inclined to, to caution my son with his cannabis use. He's already know the laws already put enough restrictions in the way for him for alcohol. Plus you're not going to buy, what's he going to buy? Moonshine? You can't really get alcohol. Right. So I'm saying it's like it's the, the, the laws have already put enough restrictions in his way. Yeah. To, to making alcohol become like a daily thing. Plus it'd be easy for me to tell if my son's getting drunk before school and so that's true. But hiding cannabis and smoking it here and there all the time and it becoming a regular thing and access to it. I would be more worried about that. And, and then him, him kind of going down that path for a rest of the day. Make a really good point. Yeah. You know, my strategy is that when my kids are old enough legally, and I've already told my, my kids this, the first time you, you really drink in the first time you try anything that's legal, you'll do it with me because I feel like, I'm not, I feel like I would like, because they're going to do it anyway. They're going to try it anyway. Whether they do it before they legally can or after, you know, if my kids like, if they become, you know, if they're like goody to shoot, I'm sure they'll try it when they at least become legal, right? They'll say, let me see what this is all about. I know my first experience with, my family never drank alcohol. I know Italians typically drink my house never had any alcohol. So my, my first experience with drinking was I got way too smashed. And because I didn't, same experience. I had no experience. I didn't know, you know, what to, and so, but I bet if I did it with my parents and they did it with me and we had a good time and they said, no, slow down. And here's what it would have helped. And so I want, I would want that experience with my kids so that they develop more responsible for what I mean, you're, your son's in high school now. So have you, have you told him this yet? Yeah, I did. Oh, so you've already told me. I've had this conversation. You've already said, son, when, when it's time comes, you want to try something. Oh, I'm going to, I'm, it's, it is in the same school. I'm going to wait till he has his birthday and I'm going to say, hey, do you want to try this? And we'll do this together. And we'll go a little bit and I'll show you. Because the same thing with cannabis now, you know, drinking too much alcohol, that can have some really scary, like, like, like, you could die. You won't die from too much weed, but you'll feel like you'll fucking die. I mean, I, I remember as a kid overdosing that. I was terrified. Yeah. I think that's the, the interesting part and the about that. I think as a parent, when you look at it and you, we have the, all the years experience of being around all this stuff and using it is that it's almost more dangerous that we doesn't have as much negative stuff tied to it as alcohol does, you know, like, you think alcohol, then you think like hard drugs, like cocaine, anything. Sylasybin, LSD, all these things. Kids are like, most good kids, at least I was like this. Like that's scared of all that stuff because you heard all this stuff where, you know, weed has gotten a thing now where it's, it's pretty cool. Like it's innocuous. Yeah. It's not going to do anything. Yeah. So I, and I, all you need is one overdose on THC to know that that is not, that is a terrible thing. And it's less about that and more just to becoming accepted as like, I get high all time, you know, and then also, and I've got this kid who's stoned every day and ain't doing shit with his life and doesn't think anything's wrong with it because we, it's not bad for me, you know what I'm saying? But it's like, you ain't doing shit with your life because you're not present ever and not fucking realizing what's going on. Absolutely.
