In this week's episode we talk about two recent topics in the news, first is a therapy soldiers experiencing PTSD are turning to when all other therapies seem to not work which involves a psychedelic potion with DMT in it. For a lot of individuals, this is a last-ditch effort to find relief and help with the PTSD and depression they are experiencing that modern-day therapies have not worked.

Second, we talk about a Cannabis infused soft drink hitting the shelves of Canada. This company , in partnership with Molson Coors of Canada is bringing these infused drinks to the masses available in liquor stores.
