James Cameron, the acclaimed filmmaker behind sci-fi classics like Terminator, Aliens, and Terminator 2, as well as the blockbuster behemoths Titanic and Avatar, participated in a surprisingly candid Reddit AMA on Saturday afternoon.

If marijuana had raised those blood levels, it could have increased overdose risk. “The combination may allow for opioid treatment at lower doses with fewer side effects,” the authors concluded.
