| 0:00.0 | Did you commune with cannabis this morning before our podcast? |
| 0:12.1 | I could never commune with cannabis for a podcast episode. |
| 0:15.7 | Not unless I wanted it to be a little sillier. |
| 0:18.0 | I've maybe done it twice on a podcast, but typically cannabis has always |
| 0:21.7 | been kind of a nighttime creative hour type thing, like playing guitar, painting and things like that. |
| 0:28.0 | There will be like a small chance that, let's say days I'm here in Austin with Aaron and Chris |
| 0:33.6 | and we're hanging to the house, we're playing the Barton Springs Day tomorrow. We may connect |
| 0:37.2 | with a little cannabis and do some meditating or breath work and then hop |

| 1:19.0 | different pharmaceuticals and you know i really believed the guy in the white lab coat you know that he was |
| 1:23.5 | going to have all my answers and so after that first five-minute meeting, he told me I had |
| 1:28.1 | anxiety, not that I was experiencing it, but that I had it. So what started to happen unconscious to me, |
| 1:33.0 | I can talk about it now, because now it's in my conscious awareness, but I started building a whole |
