So, I didn't pay any attention to it, and I didn't even think about it, that it would have the medicinal properties that it would do, even though in spite of, for millennia, we have other cultures that have used it to handle problems that we have all the time, and they don't have at all, because of their wise use of psychedelics. So the thing that made the difference for me was in 2017.

It didn't happen until 2017. I read Michael Pollan's book, How to Change Your Mind. And Michael Pollan's book is a treatise on psychedelics. And, you know, and it talks about, it doesn't talk about iboga even though that is, that's granddaddy of them all, baby.

Yeah, I mean, you know, I haven't. And maybe one day, but I don't. I haven't so far. But I read his book and, you know, and I was fascinated. First, the book reads like a novel. Reads like mine reads. I could not get over that that could be a solution for me. And so I told my wife, Renee, that I would like to try this. And she had me fixed up within two weeks.

And so she introduced me to these people and two guides. work under the radar, of course, and I met them in Hawaii. And I did, for three days, I did three different types of psychedelics.

First day, I did ayahuasca, and, you know, that's different. Yeah, you would never buy that at a soda fountain, would you? Nasty tasting stuff. But anyhow, you know, it is what it is, and some people swear by it. The second day, I did... Let's tell you a story that is funny.

My guide, he had this teapot, and he said, this holds three large cups, and I made it very strong, this magic mushroom tea, so you'll only need one cup. Now, I swear what I'm going to tell you is true. I drank all three cups. And I ate the tea bags. And I was righteously stoned. And I was here, there, and everywhere. And did I have a journey? Yeah, I did. And it was all positive.

And I never putted that good in my life.
