I work in the field at a detox center in Connecticut and my question is this: why doesn't the study include opioids like heroin or even prescription drugs like Percocet, Demerol, or Dilaudid? I would like to see the numbers on those.
Malynda Nichols, There’s a lot of studies being done. Perhaps, Google. I think it’s Wonderful what you are doing in life!!!😊 The opioid Epidemic is growing so rapidly, it’s hard to keep track of it. I’ve been studying it, too.
There must be a natural reason for the gateway drug expression of genes. What, in addition to nicotine and alcohol could cause the same epigenetic changes? Are there any evolutionary advantages? Considering human populations have consumed alcohol for millennia, this epigenetic activity either has little or no effect on life without drugs like cocaine, or it must confer some sort of advantage. Perhaps alcohol and nicotine could be shown to have synergistic effects on each other but in the absence of other addictive drugs, what if anything, would any of this mean?
...rock solid presentation.
Thank you very much! 🙏
Thank you very much Dr Griffin. Peace on you and your family.
Thank you for the presentation and experience; very informal
A helpful and interesting presentation on gateway theory.

Uppers and downers
Excellent Explanation!!!♥️
Wow!! Eddie! Good Job!
Thank you Dr. Griffin! You should consider joining Neil deGrasse Tyson as a Science Communicator :)
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrasict
How on earth is this racist? He's a brilliant speaker and drips with passion. His race has nothing to do with anything, his personality does.
@@rck1000 its not
Could you please add the references to the studies presented
The whole World knows that!!!
this is not something that has been said many times before, im suprised
This was surbubly spoken

The one question he didn't answer is...how does he get his head so damn smooth?
When I die, you can have my brain to study. Maybe it will be helpful.
Nice.
Is he chewing gum or what? That mic is so sensitive, it amplifies every lip smack and swish of saliva
