John Rapp

It's funny because I come off as kind of a, you know, reasonably corporate guy.

You know, I worked for Exxon, I worked for Microsoft, I worked for Lockheed and big, big companies.

But these days, what I mostly do is I help

create, defend, advise, counsel, and warn psychedelic churches.

Over the past few years, John has become one of the bigger names in the world of psychedelic church law.

And so in the plant movement, I literally had a couple of people think I was a narc.

And then I found out recently that most of the lawyers around here call me a hippie, hippie lawyer now, which I guarantee you I am not.

I tell people sometimes the only word that my parents hated more than Democrat was LSD.

You know, they really bought the whole Richard Nixon-ry

routine.

It is impossible to describe the experience of some of these substances at a high dose.

It's like having a baby or getting married or seeing Paris for the first time.

It's just not like anything else.

And it just seemed inconceivable to me that these things were illegal.

It changed my life almost entirely for the better.

So I just started getting to know these people at events and things, and then when people had trouble, they would call me.

And that's most of what I do now is help those churches.

Unfortunately, most of them don't have any money.

So a lot of it ends up being my pro bono practice.

And word gets around when you're mostly willing to work for free.
