I am currently working full-time on finishing my book, which has no release date yet but can be pre-ordered here. Until I finish my book, I do not have much time to respond to individual questions and cannot promise any answers.
Each month, CMJ Masterpass members have the opportunity to ask questions in a live 2-hour Q&A. If you join and participate, you will get your question answered.
If you have a specific question on vitamins and minerals or on essential fatty acids, there's a good chance you can find the answer in my Vitamins and Minerals 101 Cliff Notes, so please purchase a copy for $2.99 if you haven't done so yet.

It's been awhile since I have kept up with Chris MasterJohn, since I deleted most forms of social media. I'm reaching out because of an untreated demographic that is not fully aware of the mechanisms that they are playing with and it could lead to more consultations and possibly another book idea. The reason why I'm messaging Chris, is because of his knowledge and videos related to MTHFR and its role in metabolizing glutamate into gaba. This untreated demographic of individuals in marijuana smokers, found in a subreddit called r/petioles share anecdotal use with the use of marijuana... One media source that I have kept up with is Joe Rogan, Joe often talks about Alex's Berenson's "Tell Your Children The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence ". After reading more than a few dozen posts, I think there is something here, that neither the mainstream or even medical recreational sources are addressing in licensing.
I have not read the book, but I can imagine MTHFR is left out of the context of the neurochemical actions in marijuana, regarding the mania excitatory like effects of excessive glutamate, poorly managing impulse control with emotions, effecting logical reasoning. For instance I never understood the subjective analysis of Sativa vs Indica. What I think is actually happening is now the most likely known (unknown for reasons to continue medial deceptive practices ) effects of glutamate, and difference in glutamate metabolism in different diets with missing vitamin co factors or genetic differences. I believe Sativa vs Indica, is no different from an Angry vs Happy Drunk. Thc is still thc. Alcohol is still alcohol. But Glutamate is not Gaba. Here is the study of MTHFR and its effect on glutamate/gaba levels.

I think a 200 page book, with a dozen studies connecting pot, mood disorders, anecdotal observations, science of mthfr is it truly genetic or possibly from prenatal vitamins, formulate a hypothesis, and potentially a possible conspiracy, would land you on the Joe Rogan Podcast, and could set the tone for another book or the one that you are working on right now.
I need some consultation if possible, I have G6PD and I want to take a supplement that has white kidney bean extract (200 mg per serving) is it safe for me to start taking ?
