Principais avaliações do Cannabis, Mental Health, and Brain Disorders
Guests and readings are fantastic.. Would be great if professor Hutchinson could talk a little slower - easy to miss a lot of what he is saying. :-(. But in general a FANTASIC course!
A little difficult sometimes with the Peer Review, but other than that- informative and enjoyable.
