Kerry Rhodes details how director Farzan Toosi introduced him to ayahuasca as a potential treatment for football-related head trauma. Rhodes was motivated by research suggesting the brew has regenerative properties for the brain, offering hope against CTE and concussions. He also sought the medicine to address the depression and anxiety that followed his transition from the NFL to an acting career.

Rick Simpson refutes the claim that cannabis damages memory, stating that he has used the oil since 2001 with no cognitive decline. He cites research showing that cannabinoids promote neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—in the hippocampus. He expresses hope that the global spread of this knowledge will soon bring down the "walls" of prohibition and help save the planet.
