[Second Frame: AN is running into BB's office waving a report]
AN: Have you seen the latest research? It shows chiropractic care to be extremely cost effective!
AN: But it determined that chiropractic is more effective and less expensive than medicine.
BB: No big deal.
[Fourth frame: BB still looking]
AN: And the study is very credible, using appropriate methodology and published in a highly regarded medical journal!
BB: No problem.
[Fifth Frame: BB hands the report back]
AN: But how are we going to counteract this?
BB: Why bother?

Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century.
