For those interested in the anxiolytic effect of psychedelics I leave an interesting read. It seems interesting the possibility to dissociate the antianxiety effect of psychedelics from their hallucinogenic ones.

Details matter!

Pt w/ AMS. Next morning when less altered, described vivid hallucinations. We asked, “What did you see?”

Answer: “A man in a purple hat.”

Tox fellow & I locked eyes, asked about a drug… they confirmed they took a LOT of it.

What was the drug?

Proud of this work from my colleagues in our Chemical Insights Research Institute. Tobacco companies stonewalled for years -- but the health consequences of second-hand smoke reframed the conversation. Now, we've begun to show the same for vaping: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This case exposed glaring issues in US chemical regulation. The EPA couldn't act decisively because PFOA wasn’t initially classified as hazardous. It wasn’t until public pressure mounted that meaningful action began.

I don’t think AI can help in reviewing, and more importantly manny journals do not allow it for some very good reasons. I rejected a paper recently because it was found that it was clearly AI written! However, using AI to fine tune English should be fine.

When nature wants you really dead, it sends a snake. Or a tick. Or a bean. Or a mushroom. Or sometimes… a sausage.

PFOA is a "forever chemical" – it doesn’t break down in the environment. It accumulates in the body, linked to cancers, immune disorders, and more. DuPont dumped it into waterways near its West Virginia plant for decades.
