Marijuana exposure at a young age.
Hello dr. Huberman, I’m a 21 year old man from Santa Cruz California. Im reaching out to you because I was recently informed that as a 5 or 6 year old child I was exposed to an extremely high dose of marijuana due to my fathers negligence. I’m not entirely sure the amount, but it was a full plate of edibles that were very potent. I’ve read some studies about how marijuana affects adolescent brains but I’m very curious if this changes with being exposed at an even younger age. I also started smoking marijuana chronically at the age of 15 until this year when I stopped after my dad decided to tell me what had happed. I have memories of it happening but I seriously thought it was just a dream up until this point. I’ve struggled with learning disabilities like dyslexia and ADD as well as anxiety, depression and binge eating disorder from a young age. I’ve always felt like I was held back from my full potential because of impulsive behavior, memory retention problems, and addictive behaviors. To sum it up I’m just really curious if you know of any studies on this issue that you could point me to so I can better understand what’s going on in my brain or if you know of any ongoing studies, as well as any advice or tools to help moving forward. I’d also like to thank you for all your content it has helped me immensely in my struggle with depression, addiction, and feelings of hopelessness you are truly one of the greatest resources I could have ever come across.
AM light exposure vs exercise
I understand AM light exposure is ideal, but for (early) AM exercisers can moderate exercise take its place? I exercise at 5 and by the time I get home feel wide awake and ready for the day. I use this time to study but should I add in the light exposure again?
