A new study in Colorado is trying to answer definitively whether psychedelics help at least some patients dealing with distress over advanced cancer.Dr. Stacy Fischer, co-leader of cancer prevention and control at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, said several small studies have found that psychedelic drugs may help patients who are experiencing demoralization or despair because of their impending mortality.

In fact, you might not see anything else.It was right there, in the middle of everything.How did we miss it?The Browns’ defense created a blueprint for how to beat the 49ers last Sunday.
