![Angelo Tsebelis & Dr. Peter Blecher](https://www.benefitscanada.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/Angelo_Starseed_ThePerformer.jpg)
If we can incorporate medically supervised cannabis into the benefit plans of most large employers, I believe we can help displace the rampant use of opiates and sleep medications.

Private debt can provide excess risk-adjusted yields compared to corporate credit in the public market, as well as diversification because the private market has types of debt—for example, project finance and mid-market debt—that aren't accessible through the public market.
