  • Thank you

    I get excited when I find podcasts that are not afraid to talk about psychedelics. 30 years of pharmaceutical meds for depression are not working. But the chance to try something that will. Life changing.

  • Finally!

    Finally someone is talking about how ridiculous it is that marijuana is on a narcotics schedule claiming it is more dangerous than heroin. Thank you for sharing how cannabis works to help with many illnesses and pain relief!

  • Great Listen

    This is a podcast I’ve been waiting for! Got the recommendation from watching Clayton’s “English Major” show. I’ve been binging on it since then! Thanks for speaking up and constantly fighting to educate society on what truly is The War on Drugs.

  • The pendulum

    As usual with “correction” people want to overcorrect. They want to swing the pendulum all the way to the other end. From lock ‘em up to let it rip. Neither are common sense approaches.
