Robert Johnson

You know, I know for me, the first time I was smoking weed, I was just like, wow.

People have really been lying to me about this.

This is awesome.

The propaganda.

I'm not going to go attack my neighbor or whatever the propaganda said.

And so I think that was a real eye-opener.

It has been a gateway drug in that regard that it's opening the gate for psychedelics and MDMA and more fun stuff that adults should be able to have a safe place to access.

Absolutely.

I mean, there I write about the studies that are going on about it and the drugs that are following the same sort of protocol that are necessary for approving any drug in this country, which is which is pretty rigorous.

And then also just going to these conferences.

That's what really got me into it.

You know, I was in cannabis.

At an early stage and I was inspired, you know, not only do I just like, you know, getting high, but I felt like it was like biggest activist movement of our generation as just a bunch of.

people in different states and different municipalities, one at a time, spending so much time and effort to petition their, their local and state governments to change this, these laws that have been, you know, wrong for a hundred years.

And so in the early days of cannabis, that was like really the inspiration that got me into it.

And now with mushrooms too, a similar sort of thing.

You know, I, the first like mushroom conference I went to, I had no idea what I was,

going to be walking into.

I thought it was just going to be people, you know, selling chocolate bars, just like a bazaar.

But it was really it was like a scene from Hamilton or something like just a bunch of revolutionaries sitting around like plotting.
