Daniel E. Buffington PharmD, MBA, Clinical Pharmacology Services, Inc & American Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences discusses with Bryn Spejcher and the Every Brain Matters community how he concluded Bryn experiences cannabis-induced psychosis the night she took her friends life and almost took her life. Dr, Buffington has over 35 years of experience as an expert witness in health care law pertaining to Clinical and Forensic Pharmacology and Toxicology and health care practice management. One evening in Thousand Oaks, California, life took a tragic turn after Bryn started her career as a Doctor of Audiology at UCLA. Bryn experimented with cannabis, unaware of its potential dangers. Unbeknownst to her, she inhaled a large hit of highly potent THC, which triggered a rapid descent into psychosis. In her altered state, her perception of reality was severely distorted, leading her to react to intense hallucinations. In a frantic attempt of fear, Bryn grabbed a kitchen knife, resulting in violence toward her dog, her friend Chad, and herself. When the police arrived, Bryn could not respond to the police commands; she was only responding to the internal commands, the voices in her head that instructed her to keep going. The court later ruled the incident as involuntary manslaughter, recognizing that cannabis-induced psychosis caused this tragic event. This heartbreaking story serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of cannabis use; it proves that a single use of cannabis can come to such a horrific end. Every Brain Matters extends its heartfelt sympathy to the friends and family of Chad O'Melia and Bryn Spejcher. Had either Chad or Bryn known this could happen from only using THC, this tragedy could have been prevented. This story proves that we need more awareness about the harms of cannabis use.To schedule a presentation from Bryn and learn more about cannabis-induced psychosis, CIP contact us at info@everybrainmatters.orgVisit https://everybrainmatters.orgLearn more about cannabis linked to violencehttps://everybrainmatters.org/thc-psychosis-and-violence/https://everybrainmatters.org/cannabis-science/marijuana-violence/Support the show@EveryBrainMatters

The charges include one felony count of cruelty to children and one felony count of aggravated assault strangulation. The alleged abuse against a 2-year-old in her care includes holding a blanket over the child's nose and mouth, dropping him on his head, dragging him by his neck, shaking his head forcefully, and slapping him. The incidents, which occurred on March 13, were captured on security cameras. The daycare immediately terminated O'Connor's employment and notified authorities and the child's parents. O'Connor was released on a $15,000 bond after being booked into the Cherokee County jail. STORY 2: Caretaker Charged with Stealing from Elderly Cherokee County Resident Sharon Aline Young, a caretaker from Jasper, has been arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including theft of prescription drugs and personal items from an elderly disabled woman she was caring for. The charges include theft of jewelry, prescription medications (Oxycodone and Xanax), cash, bed sheets, and unauthorized use of the woman's credit or debit card for grocery purchases. The alleged incidents occurred between April 13 and May 8, 2023, while Young was employed as a caretaker for Comfort Keepers. She was released on bond after being booked into the Cherokee County jail. Comfort Keepers, the employer, emphasized its commitment to client safety and stated it is cooperating with authorities in the investigation. STORY 3: Trump, Co-Defendants Lose Bid to Dismiss Georgia Election Interference Case A Fulton County Superior Court judge rejected a bid to dismiss election interference charges against former President Donald Trump and 14 co-defendants, ruling that the indictments brought by Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis last summer do not violate First Amendment protections of political speech. Judge Scott McAfee stated that the defendants' expressions and speech were allegedly made in furtherance of criminal activity, including false statements and attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. McAfee dismissed six of the indictment's 41 counts but upheld the majority of the charges. Trump maintains his innocence and contends that the case is politically motivated.

Episode 22 – Diets and Pheromones with Dr Hannah Rowles from SV Animal Health Dubai   This is an episode you won't want to miss if you are looking for products to support your pet's behavioural health without the prescription of psychotropic medication.   In this episode, Dr Katrin chats to the wonderful Dr Hannah Rowles, veterinarian, and Head of Scientific Communications at SV Animal Health, one of the largest veterinary health supply companies in the Middle East.   Their conversation begins by taking a look at the Royal Canin Calm Diet, a veterinary prescription diet for cats and small dogs that contains a number of ingredients that promote behavioural health and wellbeing. Dr Katrin explains how she uses the diet in her behaviour patients, and both stress the practicalities and economic gains when using a diet (you feed your pet anyway!) as a therapeutic agent.   They then move on to chatting about another wonderful group of products, the pheromone products, specifically Feliway® and Adaptil®, which are both made by Ceva, and how they can successfully be implemented into a treatment plan for complex behaviour cases, but also how they are so beneficial in many everyday life situations.   Here are some takeaways from the episode: 1.      When using diets and supplements, always make sure you are choosing products based on scientific evidence. 2.      Diets are a great way to positively influence your pet's health without breaking the bank! You feed your pet anyway, so why not choose a diet that will enhance their health and wellbeing! 3.      Diets and pheromones are GREAT options for multi-pet households (think herd health!). 4.      EVERY puppy should have the benefit of an Adaptil® puppy collar to help them adjust to their new life, family, and environment!   Here are the scientific papers mentioned by Dr Katrin and Dr Hannah in this episode: ·         DePorter, T.

Dr. Jack Buffington discuses his new book "Reinventing the Supply Chain: A 21st-Century Covenant with America". There were no supply chains before hydrocarbons and oil has been the lubricant, which allowed the U.S. to become the leader in manufacturing. Fearing the loss of the war machine economy, the U.S. transitioned to a consumer economy. He describes the disastrous effects of deindustrialization and how population decline poses a threat to the supply chain because there are not enough consumers. He explains the effect of Covid and the Ukraine War on the supply chain, what happens to consumption when AI takes over, and says we need a new model of supply chain to account for what needs to happen in the future.
