"Previously, we hit on whether Dry January actually helps your liver (it does) and whether GLP-1 drugs can reduce alcohol intake (they can); but this week, brought to you by #CaliforniaSober, we're going to get a little far out to see what role marijuana plays in the complex ballet that is the methods we humans employ to make our brains a bit fuzzier."

Abstaining from alcohol for a month can improve liver function and reduce markers of liver injury. GLP-1 receptor agonists have been shown to lower alcohol consumption in some users. Marijuana functions differently from alcohol and may be used as an alternative, complement, or concurrent substance in efforts to alter mood and cognition. The #CaliforniaSober approach typifies mixed-use strategies that combine reduced alcohol with other substances. Patterns of substitution, co-use, dosage, frequency, and cannabis potency affect cognitive fuzziness, impairment profiles, and addiction risk. These distinctions have implications for harm reduction, clinical treatment choices, and public health messaging.
