Dr. Mike Hart - Cannabis is Medicine May 19, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode, Joe and Kyle sit down with Dr. Mike Hart. In the show they talk about Cannabis and Ketamine used as medicine.

3 Key Points:

The main uses for Cannabis are for chronic pain and mental health. CBD is really good for people with inflammation.
When it comes to any psychedelic/plant medicine therapy, it's all about agency. The power lies within the individual, the therapy and the drug are just tools to help the person obtain the power to heal themselves.
Ketamine is a useful treatment for depression. It's instant, a patient can take it and it's effective right away, where typical antidepressants may take 4-6 weeks to kick in.

Show Notes About Dr. Mike Hart

He attended Med school on Saba Island
Then he came to Ontario where he did his residency
8 months after practicing he started prescribing cannabis
He got into cannabis because it's a great alternative to opioids and pain pills, etc.

Cannabis

The main uses for Cannabis are for chronic pain and mental health
- CBD is really good for people with inflammation
- CBD is good for anything with -itis like arthritis, etc
THC is found to be much better than CBD for things like sciatica and nerve pain
Kyle mentions that when he takes CBD he has flashbacks of ayahuasca dreams/experiences
- CBD is not psychoactive in that it doesn't get you high
Kyle says that people can have spiritual experiences just by breathing, so the
- CBD is just another vehicle that helps
Adding a small amount of THC to CBD isn't going to potentiate it, but there may be an entourage effect that can be a further benefit to a patient
- Don't use more than 2.5mg of THC with CBD if you don't want psychoactive effects
Mike says that some people use CBD isolate, and that's great, but like an egg, it's best not to eat just the egg whites, it's best to eat the whole egg to get all of the benefits
- So just like eating the whole egg, the best way to get all the benefits of cannabis is to use/consume the whole plant
- There are definitely situations where using the whole plant is best, and other situations where isolation is best

Cannabis and Therapy

Anxiety can be treated very well with exposure therapy
- Exposure therapy is exposing something you're afraid of, and exposing it over and over until its not an anxiety anymore
CBD can decrease learned fear
- PTSD is a learned fear
- "The people who end up doing the most in life, are the people who have had the most trauma. We need to tell people that their trauma does not define them." - Mike
It's all about personal agency
- It's not about the drug, its you
- It's not about therapy, its you
- The power is in you, its just learning how to harness and use that power
Mike says your relationships, your job, and your health are the three most important things to master
Going without something makes you more grateful for that thing

Ketamine

Mike has been prescribing Ketamine for just over a year now
- It is helpful for mental health and chronic pain
- Ketamine is really useful for treatment resistant depression
He prescribes Ketamine orally
- He advises his patients to take it in the morning as soon as they wake up on an empty stomach
- If it is taken that way, they get a psychoactive effect, and he thinks that it is the most effective way
- Its instant, a patient can take it, and its effective right away, where typical antidepressants may take 4-6 weeks to kick in

Show Notes MAPS Press Release

PRESS RELEASE: Interim Analysis Shows At Least 90% Chance of Statistically Significant Difference in PTSD Symptoms after MDMA-assisted Psychotherapy
MAPS hired a third party to work through their data set and they may be getting FDA approval

Therapists Are Unprepared to Talk to People About Taking Psychedelics

Should there be some sort of body regulating therapist training in integration?
- Should there be a standardized training?
There are going to be good therapists that care, and go out of their way and get the training, and there will be bad therapists, that do harm
- It's a long and difficult topic
- Should people be going to jail for being bad therapists?
Looking at breathwork, there are training groups, but there isn't one large, overarching group that governs all trainings
"Are we acting with integrity if we aren't bringing the utmost safety to the table?" - Joe

Group Setting Impact

How is COVID going to impact psychedelic tourism?
In breathwork, people are potentially coughing, crying, and in general just doing heavy breathing, COVID is super contagious

About Kyle

Eamon Armstrong is the host of Life is a Festival, a podcast promoting a lifestyle of adventure and personal development through the lens of festival culture.
Maya is an intelligence platform for psychedelic therapists to manage their clients and their protocols.
Rites of Passage can look different for everybody, they can look like going to Africa to be initiated in an Ibogaine ceremony, to attending Burning Man.

Show Notes About Eamon

Eamon is the host of the Podcast, Life is a Festival
- It's not about festivals, it's about how to make life like a festival
Eamon is very passionate about mental wellness
After graduating college, he felt very lost
He was throwing mushroom tea parties, making electronic music with his friends
- The key to throwing a mushroom tea party is to have people drink less mushrooms than they think that they're drinking, everyone just thinks they are tripping harder than they were
He went to Burning Man in 2010
- He started working in social media for Burning Man's off playa events
Psychedelics and harm reduction became core to their editorial voice
- He worked closely with Psychedelic Peer Support, Zendo, Kosmicare, etc

Ibogaine Experience

Eamon attended an Iboga retreat in Gabon, Africa, and he says it was more about the retreat than the Iboga
- He was in the chamber for 5 days, and he was alone in it
This retreat was in the Bwiti religion
He really went there for a full sledgehammer experience
- He felt he had some addicted aspects that were hindering his sexual experiences
Iboga goes to the root of the trauma and shows you where the addictive pattern of behavior is
Iboga has a long integration period
Iboga is a root, and he consumed it in a form of a tangled nest
- He felt very blasted open from the experience
Iboga took him directly to his anger
"We have in our modern Western Culture, a lot of lost, young people" - Eamon
- "The value of a rite of passage, is that you are confronted with certain things that you can't get to on your own" - Eamon
The fact that you can die in an Iboga experience, is part of the initiation

Rites of Passage

Burning Man isn't a rite of passage, but it can be used as a rite of passage
- Burning Man is a temporary experience in civic living, it is not orchestrated by elders
There is a growing topic on psychedelic parenting, and taking psychedelics with children

Maya

Maya is designed in partnership with psychedelic practitioners & ceremony leaders
Maya is an intelligence platform for psychedelic therapists to manage their clients and their protocols
Ethics in psychedelics are so important right now
This does not replace the therapist, it's everything the therapist needs to support their clients in healing
"The ecosystem itself will thrive when we are all working in service to each other" - Eamon
"If you want to be a part of the cool kids, and the cool kids are doing it ethically, then you have to do it ethically" - Eamon

Final Thoughts

The soul is the most beautiful thing
"Psychedelics as medicine, treat society, beyond individuals" - Eamon

Tom and Sheri Eckert - Oregon Psilocybin Therapy Initiative May 05, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Joe interviews Tom and Sheri Eckert, organizers of the Oregon Psilocybin Therapy Initiative. The IP 34 is the bill that would legalize psilocybin therapy.

3 Key Points:

IP 34 asks the Oregon Health Authority to create a licensing system that will create a regulated program where Oregonians suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma and other challenges can see a licensed and trained facilitator to receive supervised psilocybin therapy.
IP 34 was written by licensed therapists in Oregon along with the country's leading advocates in the field. It is supported by healthcare professionals, treatment providers, veterans' groups and community leaders across the state.
There has been a multitude of studies from leading medical research institutions such as Johns Hopkins, UCLA, and NYU showing that psilocybin therapy works.

Navigating Psychedelics

Show Notes About

Tom and Sheri began their interest in psilocybin research about 5 years ago when they read an article in The New Yorker by Michal Pollan
They realized how powerful psilocybin was for clinical work
They are both therapists, and were inspired to find out if there was a way to create a modality that allowed them to provide psilocybin therapy to help their clients

Psilocybin Assisted Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is supposed to be experiential, the breakthrough is where the change happens
Sheri says that psilocybin therapy gets all parts of the brain in communication together
"The more intense the mystical experience the more clinical outcomes that are achieved" - Tom

Ballot Initiative

They started in 2015
They wanted the breakthrough studies and the research proving low risks to work for them
The psychedelic community was very helpful
They went through rotations with the way the initiative was written
They like the therapy model, its safe, careful and mindful

Clause

Joe asks about a Supremacy Clause, where the state supersedes local districts
- This initiative does not get in the way of any other initiative
There are angles on all different types of drug policy reform
There is nothing in the IP34 that blocks any other initiative like decriminalization
- We are all a part of the big picture, we all need to work together

GMP Psilocybin

They wanted to keep this in the frame of non-commercialization
- Their goal with this is not about money, it's really about the healing
- "We are trying to move forward a healing modality to help people, we are trying to legalize psilocybin assisted psychotherapy" - Tom
There is a part in the initiative that says measures will have to be taken to make sure the psilocybin is 'food grade' standard or in general just clean and safe

Oregonians to Sign the Petition

Download the petition, sign it, and mail it in

Final Thoughts

Sheri says that the team behind the initiative is inspired by what is happening globally around psilocybin and research
They are right at the end of their signatures, but they need help to reach the goal
"We've got to see the bigger picture here, and get behind it." - Tom

About Tom and Sheri Eckert

As husband-and-wife founders of the Oregon Psilocybin Society (OPS) and authors of the Psilocybin Service Initiative (PSI), Tom and Sheri Eckert have set in motion a historic campaign to legalize Psilocybin Services, also known as Psilocybin Assisted Therapy, in their home state of Oregon. A growing number of Oregonians are getting behind the idea, largely in response to the latest science. The Eckerts, with a growing army of volunteers, are spreading a truth held increasingly self-evident: that the psilocybin experience, when facilitated under safe and supportive conditions, can be a life-changing gift.In addition to their activism, the Eckert's own and operate "Innerwork" – a private psychotherapy practice serving the Portland metro area. Included in their catalog of services is their groundbreaking "Better Man" program, which is shown to neutralize intimate partner and family violence. Sheri has been awarded a Cosmic Sister Women of the Psychedelic Renaissance in support of her presentation at the Spirit Plant Medicine conference.

Show Notes Psychedelics Company Orthogonal Thinker Closes $6M Seed Round

The company is valued at 111 million
The CEO, Jason Hobson says, "The current health pandemic has resulted in a societal shift in the way we think about our health and the importance of access to treatment, both physical health and mental health. Ei.Ventures believes this is the right time to lean into mental health issues such as mood disorders and addiction, and eventual access to therapeutic treatments from innovations in botanical compounds that have been around for thousands of years."
Joe and Kyle say that there is so much money coming in, and it worries the psychedelic community because they aren't used to seeing capitalism
Joe says that he hopes that some patents don't equate to ruining access

Thiel Backs Psychedelic-Drug Startup in Latest Funding Round

"Are these companies going to bully the smaller organizations out of existence so that diversity doesn't really exist in the way we think it should?" - Joe
Medical is a great model, but it should be reduced to that only
Kyle says the sacred-ness feels like it may be taken away, and big companies just look at it as a commodity

Medical Researchers Worry Silicon Valley Could Screw Up Psychedelics

"Not everyone sees this opportunity for entrepreneurship as a good thing. For researchers looking into the efficacy of psychedelics for therapeutic purposes, these substances are far more than a market opportunity—they're potentially life-saving medications. And after decades of prohibition, psychedelics are just barely gaining mainstream acceptance.' - from the article
People are bold enough to stand up to companies they don't agree with It's no joke how much money was spent on making Tim Leary look bad

DARPA Wants Benefits of Psychedelics but Without Hallucinations

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is launching a new drug program for treating soldiers with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and drug addiction, and it is drawing inspiration from psychedelic research.
Kyle mentions that this is tricky, its both a biochemical and experiential thing
Will eliminating the hallucinations ruin the experience?
- Joe says that there are some people that are so unstable that a psychedelic experience can be really a lot
- Joe also says that there arent alot of drugs that their use needs to be supervised (medically) and psychedelics are some of them

How Climate Justice Could End the Drug War

Joe recorded with Erica Darragh from Sunrise Movement
Their talk was about how climate justice could end the drug war
- They talked about more equitable ways of including people of less power, influence or privilege into the world of psychedelics
The more ahead we are of the government, the more likely we are to influence policy, Joe says it's best to just stay informed

A North Star for the Emerging Psychedelics Industry

If we aren't coming from psychedelic values when bringing these substances into the mainstream, then what are we doing?
What are psychedelic values?
- Valuing the planet, valuing your place in the planet, a sense of connection, cooperation vs. competition, how do we honor a lineage or where these medicines come from? these could be some psychedelic values
Following the permaculture principles and applying them to life is a great tool for systems thinking

Amanda Feilding - The Beckley Foundation: Changing Minds through Psychedelic Research Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Joe interviews Amanda Feilding, Founder and Director of The Beckley Foundation. In the show, they cover topics on psychedelic research, policy work, regulation, and the benefits of psychedelics in a time of crisis.

3 Key Points:

The Beckley Foundation pioneers psychedelic research to drive evidence-based drug policy reform, founded and directed by Amanda Feilding as a UK-based think-tank and NGO.
There is some interesting research happening around LSD expanding the neuroplasticity of the mind and increasing neurogenesis.
We are in the midst of a mental health crisis, especially in the West, and psychedelics may be helpful in improving mental health.

Show Notes The Beckley Foundation

Amanda says she felt alone for a long time, they were taking a scientific approach, and it was much too serious for the underground
The Beckley Foundation is doing policy work, medical work, scientific work, etc
Amanda has a passion for science, but felt a social responsibility to do the policy work
- It's a very destructive work with 'drugs', because they are all under the same umbrella, but we psychedelic enthusiasts know, that psychedelics are beneficial and different than other drugs
Joe mentions he always thought how crazy LSD sentencing is, in some places it is longer than murder charges
"The ego is really a mirror of the government, and it can be much too restrictive and damaging" - Amanda

LSD

LSD increases cognitive function by expanding the networks of integrative centers in the brain
- Amanda thinks that LSD is better at increasing cognition than mushrooms
She says they are doing exciting work with LSD and how it expands neuroplasticity of the mind, and how it increases neurogenesis
- She thinks we haven't really even scratched the surface of exploring the benefits of these compounds
Joe says he is hearing about a lot of athletes using LSD as a performance enhancing drug
Neuroplasticity is like when the brain becomes hot metal and it can adapt and change

Crisis

We have a horrible mental health crisis in the west, 1 in 3 teenage girls are depressed
Out of all death causes in the US, air pollution is one of the largest
"Our society needs a paradigm shift" - Amanda
Amanda says that she doesn't believe that all people need to take psychedelics, but that they can be very beneficial

Regulation

Joe says he would love to see regulation everywhere
The cause of most drug harms are prohibition
Portugal and Switzerland are great models for boosting public service
Recognizing the potential benefits helps (starting with medical but not stopping there)

Final Thoughts

We are all moving in the right direction
The spreading of knowledge and education is the right path
The intuitive gains are the main benefits of these altered states of consciousness

The Beckley Foundation

About Amanda Fielding

Amanda Feilding has been called the 'hidden hand' behind the renaissance of psychedelic science, and her contribution to global drug policy reform has also been pivotal and widely acknowledged. Amanda was first introduced to LSD in the mid-1960s, at the height of the first wave of scientific research into psychedelics. Impressed by its capacity to initiate mystical states of consciousness and heighten creativity, she quickly recognised its transformative and therapeutic power. Inspired by her experiences, she began studying the mechanisms underlying the effects of psychedelic substances and dedicated herself to exploring ways of harnessing their potential to cure sickness and enhance wellbeing. In 1996, Amanda set up The Foundation to Further Consciousness, changing its name to the Beckley Foundation in 1998.

Show Notes MindMed

Psychedelic Pharmaceutical Company MindMed Develops LSD Neutralizer Technology To Shorten and Stop LSD Trips
MindMed is a psychedelic Pharmaceutical company that is exploring LSD and patenting anything they find during the research
Joe comments and says that organizations like Zendo are able to do optimal work and we don't necessarily need a Pharma company to help in recreational/festival settings
- But in a clinical setting, this is more necessary
"Are these big companies coming into the space as allies are not?" - Joe
- Joe says he thinks they are part of the ecosystem, for better or worse
Joe says, imagine if drugs were legal, they would be so much safer
- Kyle questions what legalization would look like not in a capitalistic market

Scientists Turn Yeast into Psychedelic Psilocybin Factories

There is a lot of reason why people choose not to play in commodified markets
"How do we know what is true? How do we know what is helpful for us?" - Joe
- Joe says lets not have a quick easy answer
"It's infeasible and way too expensive to extract psilocybin from magic mushrooms and the best chemical synthesis methods require expensive and difficult-to-source starting substrates" - a quote from the article

Can Psychedelics Treat Climate Grief?

20 years is when it's going to be really bad for climate change
It's been more prominent, people getting therapy for trauma of what's happening in nature
The question of a conference that Joe and Kyle attended was, "Can extraordinary experiences help save us from planetary, ecological collapse?"
- We are able to make people feel more connected to ecological systems with psychedelics
We have to be able to feel the grief, but we have to be able to act
Are we stewards of the earth, or do we want to work pointless jobs and be a part of consumerism?

D.C. Would Vote To Decriminalize Psychedelics, Poll Shows

If COVID wasn't a thing currently, it looks like decrim would happen in the belly of the beast, in D.C.
- Despite the public health crisis, its looks like citizens want to reassess entheogenic use
