Addiction - What we Don't Know! With Judy Grisel

“I loved most drugs, I really loved marijuana, I used to
think maybe if I just dropped acid on easter then I’ll be okay…
but as time went on I slowly realised that reality was much more
interesting than addiction and drug use… getting drunk is always
sort of the same, a brief feeling of connection, and then
loneliness…”


Judith Grisel began using recreational drugs as an adolescent,
her curiosity in understanding the root of why she was addicted
brought her to eventually study neuroscience. Now an
internationally recognised behavioural neuroscientist and a
professor of psychology at Bucknell University with expertise in
pharmacology and genetics, Judy’s research focuses on determining
the root causes of drug addiction. A recent author, Judy
published the New York Times bestseller; Never Enough: The
Neuroscience and Experience of Addiction.


Judy is incredibly open and honest about her past, she holds
nothing back, talks us through her addictions, her rationale, her
journey to neuroscience, and most importantly her profound
discoveries. 


A fascinating conversation, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we
did.


Lots of Love,


Dave & Steve
