I love how @NYPDBklynSouth @NYPDnews refuses to arrest a intoxicated person who totaled his car because they don’t want to do the paperwork and instead has EMS bring the patient into my hospital. How does that make our streets safer? @NYCMayor must do better to protect our city.
Will be registering for this! Academic psychedelics 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi friends, I could use some help getting the word out about this conference! The Psychedemia #psychedelics conference will be coming back after 10 years this August—if we can sell 100 tickets by May 11 at the early bird rate! psychedemiaconference.org

#CBG & #CBDV were #neuroprotective in a cellular model of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) challenged with ischemic #stroke conditions. The effects were not mediated by the usual suspects; CB1, CB2, PPAR-γ, PPAR-α, 5-HT1A, TRPV1

In mice, CBD (20mg/kg) improves symptoms of #multiple #sclerosis #MS through inhibition of the proinflammatory #cytokine IL-1beta from #macrophages #ICRS2021
Would this explain why #CBN seems to be a good choice for nighttime consumption as a sleep aid? If metabolism is inhibited then caffeine would not be converted to it’s longer acting metabolite, paraxanthine, and instead cleared renally? 🤔😴 #cannabis
New insight on potential drug interactions due to medicinal #cannabis. PhytoCBs inhibit CYP450 drug metabolising enzymes. e.g. CBN isolates might inhibit #caffeine metabolism in vitro. Research from @Lambert_Usyd. #SydneyPharmacySchool rdcu.be/cnohu
Had an amazing time lecturing about one of my passions: The #ECS. Our medical community can do a much better job in self-education. This would de-stigmatize patients use of #cannabis as medicine and put them at ease to talk openly to their providers. #AAEM21 💚

More reasons to celebrate! New Jersey has become the first state in the USA to ban wild animal circus acts.
Hopefully New Jersey's example will encourage others to do the right thing and send a clear message that wild animal performance is animal abuse.

Hemopericardium on Autopsy
The myocardial wall is injured causing blood to leak into the pericardial space. As that blood clots, it smothers the heart. This is how Hemorrhagic Tamponade kills!

Here’s an easy way to remember #Pediatric Tube Sizes based on a simple formula for endotracheal tube (ETT). This will get you to the right ballpark in an emergency:
ETT x 1= [Age ÷ 4] + 4
ETT x 2= NG/OG or Foley
ETT x 3= ETT Insertion Depth
ETT x 4= Chest Tube
