Is there anything else about yourself you would like to share?

I'm also a Musician and Multi-instrumentalist in my few spare hours. I love to stream my guitars and to make music with my friends, Also I love to travel and to Surf! Living in Brazil makes it very easy for me to achieve! I also love to teach, the teacher job got into my life to bring the sense of purpose I was missing to complete my mind Medical Cannabis is only a reality in Brazil for the past 10 years or so, and I took a while to realize that, once I did it, I felt finally freed from the prejudice I've always suffered and now, finally, we scientists from that fields are getting some kind of validation and recognition, its a very warm feeling. I'm looking forward to make my contribution to the scientific studies of cannabis! and hope one day our universities here could think the same!
