The Gary & Shannon Weekend Fix (04.18) – A rare (and slightly regrettable) trip into altered states… and what your brain might be doing to you the whole time.

• Memory isn’t as reliable as you think → new research shows how easily our brains can mix real events with things that never happened
• Why stress makes it worse → eyewitness memory, perception, and the “lens” we experience things through all shape what we think we remember
• Gary & Shannon vs. weed → why neither are regular cannabis users and why alcohol (in their minds) feels more “controlled”
• Inside the dispensary world → “bud-tenders,” terminology, and Shannon’s strong feelings about all of it
• Gary’s gummy story → a dark comedy, creeping paranoia, déjà vu, and that unsettling “have I seen this before?” feeling
• The comedown → no hangover… but also missing pieces of memory and a general sense of “never again”
• Final takeaway → if you’re going to do it, be on the same level as your “drug partner”… or don’t do it at all
