I did the "look ma, it's me" but she didn't understand the scope. Thanks, NPP for highlighting our paper, an amalgamation of my PhD work into affective touch and postdoc work into endocannabinoids. Grateful to Madeleine Jones and Leah Mayo for getting this across the line.

Patient interest in and access to psychedelic drugs are increasing rapidly. Canadian experts are calling for more medical education so that clinicians can better advise and treat patients who are interested in psychedelics. Leah Mayo #psychedelic medscape.com/viewarticle/ps…
