Quotes:
"It's tough to come up and say: "well you need this amount for sleep, you need this amount for anxiety, you need this amount for epilepsy." So, with a lot of other medications, a lot of physicians, like yourself, probably know, it's not uncommon to start low and go slow and see where you might land." [5:00]
"At low doses, we do think there might be some enhanced stimulation effect. But we also know it's not like a stimulant like amphetamine or caffeine. It seems to function differently than that." [6:20]
"We don't have guidance on pesticides either. So I think beyond just knowing what's in products based on standardization techniques, also what contaminates could be present is also of importance." [25:40]
