I don't know if that stems from the translation I read, but rest assured that he (Il Generale Vulneraria in Italian) is absolutely am heroic anti-hero, and inspires both awe and admiration, like felt by his lieutenant (Garofano, in Italian), the one who tells sort of a brief funeral oration for him in your book.

I only wish to make you know that "La Collina dei Conigli" (Watership Down) has always been my preferred book since I was a little boy; that now after 40 years it's still number one to me; that I have read it all uncountable times; that I think to the characters, every now and then, comparing them to people I get to know; and that I thank you from the deep of my heart for that book. I never thought I would be able to send a message to you, Mr.Adams, but that's it: made my day :)

Hello Professor Nutt, and thank you for your AMA. Do you think that opioid substitution therapy could make use of other substances, apart from methadone and buprenorphine (and heroin and codeine in some countries)? Do you imagine other agonists (or partial agonists) could be useful, on the basis of their kinetic or receptorial profile?

Hi, I'm an addiction doc, and clinical pharmacologist, but nonetheless I'm quite ignorant on medical use of cannabis, always having seen in as a problem for my clients. Can you point me to some good and comprehensive review papers? Thanks
