Andrew Krut
Website: www.Modernwizardllc.com

My name is Andy Krut and I use He/ They pronouns. I live and practice in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US. After completing my PharmD at Duquesne University in 2012, I worked community retail pharmacy until moving to the cannabis space in 2019. My passions include health equity, harm reduction, and stigma resolution as they pertain to cannabis and other plant/fungal medicines. As for personal interests, I enjoy playing chess, listening to audiobooks, and learning new things.

ISO: Institutional Hospitals with Acute Cannabis Intoxication

Anebulo Pharmaceuticals is conducting a study to understand the THC levels of patients visiting care facilities with Acute Cannabinoid Intoxication (ACI). This information is needed for the development of a CB1 antagonist that reverses ACI effects.
If your hospital sees ACI patients at least weekly, and your department is interested in participating in this study, please contact Linda to obtain more information: linda@anebulo.com

Seeking Volunteers for Observational Study

AIMA, a vaginal health company, is transforming the lives of
menstruators by delivering their patent-pending formulation of CBD, CBG and other active agents locally to the vagina and uterus. AIMA targets a wide range of conditions, from period pain to pelvic pain. Their first product is a vaginal suppository for period pain: the OVY. AIMA is seeking clinicians interested in recommending this vaginal suppository and is offering a free sample in exchange for completing a survey before and after use to be included in their observational study.
For more information, contact AIMA or visit their website. Please complete (or have your patients complete) their survey to obtain baseline symptoms. The survey is available on their website or the direct link is available here.

Please note: this is not a sponsored post and ISCPh is voluntarily sharing this information with our membership to help obtain data on cannabis vaginal suppositories
