Transcript
Smoking the ZA is literally ruining your life, and here's why. It raises your estrogen levels and directly antagonizes estrogen receptors. It drastically raises your chances of developing psychosis and schizophrenia. It makes you dumber. It makes you lazier. It fries your dopamine receptors to the point where chronic users had no dopamine change when when given pharmaceutical ADHD meds. And possibly the worst side effect, everyone around you in your life looks at you like this. They think you're a loser because you are.
