Depersonalization after using synthetic marijuana with an unknown substance

I'm Korean. It might sound foolish, but I lost consciousness due to synthetic marijuana given to me by a colleague. I was thinking it was just a regular nicotine cigarette, I inhaled it 8 times. after that I heard that 3-4 puffs were the normal dosage. The effects started to show in about 1-2 minutes, and I felt as if I were dying. I'm extremely worried about potential brain damage more than anything else. I was rushed to the emergency room and discharged after a few hours, but could my brain cells have been destroyed? At that time, I felt as though I was suffering from a mental disorder, with my head feeling extremely full and about to burst. I read on the internet and heard from ChatGPT that synthetic marijuana can cause neurotoxicity and kill brain cells. Is that really true? I am very worried about this....

What Kind of Work is done Outside Ultradian Cycles

You did a good job of describing the ultradian cycles in the (first?) AMA. I understand you have 2-3 ideal times where your focus is at it's highest point, and can work towards that if you don't. However, what kind of work do you do outside of those hours, or what kind of work is intended to be done when you're not in your peak focus?

Breathwork & Sauna

Are there any downsides/negative consequences to doing breathwork while in the sauna? Does doing them simultaneously counteract the benefits of doing each separately?
