A frank conversation about the consequences surrounding relatively new legislation surrounding cannabis; how does recreational use interfere with anaesthesia? Further, how should ketamine be used in safe doses and can some of its effects be problematic? Also we discuss the momentum behind the currently unproductive drive to use psilocybin as a pain medicine. The discussion then moves to the significance of mental and psychological preparation for patients anticipating surgical events.
