It’s a Psychedelic & Cannabinoid Therapeutics (PaCT) Lab Christmas 🎄 so grateful to be a part of this (quite amazing) team 💪🏼


It was so fun celebrating the holidays with Psychedelic & Cannabinoid Therapeutics (PaCT) Lab (+friends) last night - I cannot overstate how grateful I am to work with such an amazing team 🤩 (I'm also verrrry happy we could all squeeze in on our 'prom stairs' for a photo 😂)


The first Psychedelic & Cannabinoid Therapeutics (PaCT) Lab paper of 2025 is out now in Neuropsychopharmacology 🤩 "Endocannabinoid contributions to the perception of socially relevant, affective touch in humans" led by Madeleine Jones & connorhaggarty.bsky.social, ft. Abigail Matt Hill Heilig Lab & others nature.com/articles/s4138…

Here's a recap of what's new #ThisWeekInNPP ⤵️ We highlight mechanisms underpinning social processing in 🧑👩 (Madeleine Jones connorhaggarty.bsky.social Leah Mayo) & 🐭, antidepressant/memory effects of NO2🧠, & mechanisms contributing to clozapine-induced agranulocytosis🩸


#ThisWeekInNPP Madeleine Jones connorhaggarty.bsky.social Leah Mayo & team leverage 2 in-human studies to explore how the eCB system contributes to social processing, finding that ⬆️ AEA = ⬇️ preference & pleasantness for affective touch nature.com/articles/s4138…



Congrats to Psychedelic & Cannabinoid Therapeutics (PaCT) Lab *undergrad* student Georgia Elliot on her first first-author paper out now in American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse (AJDAA) , resulting from her summer fellowship spent with us 🤩 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…







Really excited for this #EBPS2025 panel featuring current Psychedelic & Cannabinoid Therapeutics (PaCT) Lab PhD student Ana Deutsch & and soon-to-be postdoc Sarah (who is definitely not from Italy lol)

We're recruiting a new therapist(s) for ongoing & upcoming clinical trials with psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy at U Calgary & Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI) Come join our diverse, growing Psychedelic & Cannabinoid Therapeutics (PaCT) Lab team exploring evidence-based psychedelic interventions!

Preparing for a Psychedelic & Cannabinoid Therapeutics (PaCT) Lab mini-retreat next week: "Please update your talk titles" [crickets] "Please add your lunch order"

Mathison postdoc Dr. Ryann Tansey walked us through her exciting work on “Associations between acute alcohol intake, peripheral endocannabinoid concentrations, and the neural processing of reward and affect in healthy humans” Psychedelic & Cannabinoid Therapeutics (PaCT) Lab


Ryann represented Psychedelic & Cannabinoid Therapeutics (PaCT) Lab so well at The Mathison Centre Research Day 🧠

Its a long weekend here in Canada, which seems appropriate to mourn our recent Neuropsychopharmacology paper, in which we find that FAAH inhibition does NOT improve symptoms in PTSD🙁 A heroic effort w/ Matt Hill Heilig Lab connorhaggarty.bsky.social & many more 🧵⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4138…
