Announcing Psychedelics Versus Cannabis: An Evidence-Based Exploration

Microdose is pleased to announce the launch of our monthly new blog series Psychedelics vs Cannabis. This evidence-based literary journey will explore the scientific, social, and economic intersection of psychedelic medicine, cannabis and the world at large. 

As the modern psychedelic renaissance amples forth on the heels of the medical cannabis movement, unique parallels and contrasts between the two industries have emerged.
