It's about something else, so your insulin levels. So the way you find your CBD level is the way I just told you. That's how you find your dose. And everybody's different. Some people might be the same, but everybody's different. Thank you for that question. Next up, I'll answer anything. Well, let me tell you about that. Both. Both. Both. Okay, that's what I got. I got a question for you right now. We're going to kind of follow on with something. And I would like, Mama Hill, would you please come up here? Carl, would you please come up here too, just to kind of spend some time with us? Come on over here, ma'am. Thank you for doing this. I'd really appreciate it. Could you tell me about these dog tags? Who did they belong to? They belong to my son, Adam Hill Gibson. As Carl mentioned yesterday, the 24th was 10 years since he had that narrowing of vision and in a sudden impulsive moment ended his life due to symptoms of post-traumatic stress. And... What I was trying to say to you is, you know, the collision of events, anything that was out there as a separate line item experience that he was having, he probably would have been okay, but you push them all together and that his anxiety levels, all of that, were never really probably below a 75, you know, not coming down to a 25 like other people. And then he had a relationship crisis, the girl he was with, He finally got out of her. She was having an affair and in an instant, you know, the day he wasn't supposed to die. So 25 and 20 days was his age. I would have been 35 on October 4th and he was my only. And so I made a decision like a lot of you guys do when I'm trying to figure out who the fuck I am after I'm not a mom anymore and then the marriage falls apart. Well, what should I be? And opportunities like with what you're presenting here and opportunity to serve and do something more and then, and to stay connected to this family that I had no idea was so powerful and no wonder he left it. So, so thanks for letting me be part of it. Can I ask you a question? This is going to be painful. I want everybody to remember what I'm about to say and remember what happens when I ask the question, because this is about the distortion. Is your world better now that he's gone? Fuck no. I'm so happy to know you, but I wish I never met you. Right? I would do anything to have him back. Anything. The pain doesn't stop. It just goes to somebody else. And that's why we've got to take the Spartan Pledge. It's not for you. It's for the other person so they know who to call. Raise your hand if you're taking the Spartan Pledge. Move forward. Come up here. Thank you. Anybody else who would like to take the Spartan Pledge, we're going to do a ceremony right here, right now, today, not just in support of the community, but I want to put this energy in support of you and your family. Who will support this woman? Come forward now. Anybody. Come on up. Come on up. There's other people who want to come up. Just make it happen. Move to the front. Move to the front. We need some help back there. Come on up here.
