Senator I I want to say first of all thank you for that description of this tripartite um uh effect of of theratom plant and how pain relief in its ideal form not too much sedative effect pain gone but still the noradinurgic effect where people aren't sedated to the point where they can't do anything is ideal and that what you said also really highlights and you and you said it better than I ever could that what we do in science and medicine, reductionist science and medicine is we're trying to isolate receptors and pathways and dose response curves and we're trying to come up with essentially pills of isolated compounds, >> right, >> that hit one maybe two of these different pathways. Um, in fact, it's interesting that whenever a drug um impacts multiple pathways, we call them offtarget effects, right? >> Right? that just that language alone it tells you everything you need to know which is that you're trying to target specific receptors but the and pathways but the way that the brain works isn't like that right the the earlier we were talking about breathing I mean the the cardiorespiratory system are intimately involved and and it's no surprise therefore that you have some of the same receptors and systems involved
