Why it worked

The video leverages a controversial topic (marijuana's effects on the brain) and a well-known figure (Dr. Daniel Amen) to generate engagement. The inclusion of on-screen text and a clear, concise summary of the key findings makes the information easily digestible for a short-form video format.

Summary

Dr. Daniel Amen discusses the negative effects of marijuana on the brain, citing a study of a thousand users that showed lower activity in all brain areas. He mentions that while marijuana might initially help with pain, it can lead to dependency and increase the risk of anxiety, depression, suicide, and psychosis.
