0:22.1	listening to him on his podcast,
0:23.9	and just going an absolute deep dive
0:27.0	into the pharmacological effects of psychotropic medicines, psychedelics, is it the sort, the loosenogens, and also a very
0:37.8	interesting plant or plant root referred to as Kava. I discovered Kava about 15 years ago or so in Hawaii and I really value this stuff. It is a fantastic way to boost mental clarity while also increasing relaxation. It's a great replacement for
0:55.2	drinking alcohol. It produces like a euphoric type effect which is very
0:59.8	pleasant and I've always been curious what exactly it is within the plant that causes the effects and also just what is it within lots of plants that cause effects, particularly in the psychotropic hallucinogenic realm.
1:13.4	So this conversation with Cameron, who he is absolutely, I would say, the world's leading expert
1:18.4	on this topic, particularly on Kava, and this conversation is essentially a master class on the pharmacological effects of
1:26.9	psychotropic medicines or plants or plant medicines as well as the effects of Kava. I've been interested in this stuff for a very long time and I'm very excited to get to share the ins and outs of these plants with you in this conversation. I hope you enjoy it. I want to thank you guys for
