Healing the prison-induced trauma from psychedelic incarceration… with psychedelics.

After prison, I just needed to heal myself; reconnecting with family and friends to get my life back on track as much as possible before anything else.

I had to relearn to not be on guard 24/7, and to stop pretending to look and be someone not to fuck with, as you had to be tough in there, or get picked on VERY harshly.

This was extremely hard for such a passive, open minded, non-confrontational and happy person like myself.

I had to relearn to sleep well after getting so used to broken sleep from the freezing cold, the noise of people fighting and yelling at night, as well as the ‘screws’ making noise if it got too quiet; just to mess with you for a giggle on their boring high paid night shift.

I had to heal from the terrible processed food they pump you with, after rarely eating any such food for a decade before.

I had to reconnect with my daughter who turned 1 while I was inside, and basically forgot who I was! She’s 3 as of last Sunday, and our connection is stronger than ever!

An endless trauma list for a victimless offence.

I’m lucky I didn’t just tune out completely while pumping myself with depressants, instead of pushing myself to get well after my release.

The urge was overwhelming to escape with such substances, and I did; for a long time. A breakfast, lunch and dinner of flunitrazepam (rohypnol), heroin, and other downers was my escape for many months to hide from this terrifying experience.

How ironic that it was the use of various psychedelic compounds that helped me heal. I never would have been able to get through, and over, that trauma without them.

I decided to ingest 28.3 dry grams, and film it; to prove that this was not necessarily a commercial quantity and that it didn’t fall under the charges of “intent to distribute”. (There was no intentions or evidence of sale or intent to, I let them look through my phone I was so clean at the time and was infuriated that they added such charges).

So I took the dose I was charged with, ABOVE the actual amount; to show it can be safely taken in the right setting, that it’s not a commercial dose, and that I only use them to heal myself.

I teach others to identify and use these things online, and in workshops, but have never sold or given these things out. I don’t need to. All I need to do to spread mushrooms, is spread my knowledge.

Not sell them or hand them out.

I never EVER wanted to be in the spotlight for anything to do with drugs, even though I’m all for reform. I believe most of us are in this position, whether we use them, or just know these laws don’t work.

My hand has been forced by my systematic abuse by the system to take one for the team; to be open about my experience and hope that one day it has something to do with eventually changing these unethical and deadly laws.

I’ve been part of the HR movement and spreading proper drug education for over a decade before my arrest. The realization of our drug law fallacy was smashed in my face by seeing people like members of parliament and police use drugs, the many harms of legal drugs, plus the carnage caused by prohibition by age 15. I’m currently 31.

I’m sick of seeing people die as the result of drug law.

I hate knowing there’s an untaxed billion dollar black market out there that could be stopped over night with reform. I know crime for drugs has nothing to do with the drug, and only that it’s illegality makes it a lucrative trade.

I’m sick of stories of substituted substances as fairly safe drugs like MDMA, that hurt or kill people all as result of prohibition.

I’m hurting for the hurt children, families and friends, hurt directly and indirectly by these inhumane laws.

I’m done with mass manipulation of populations to continue this cruellest of treatments under the bullshit, completely disproven guise of safety, and I’m happy to defend and debate for us all. With or without anyone’s support.

I would go to jail for life to see my fellow beings set free of this madness. This isn’t about me. This is about every single person affected by these laws eg. EVERYONE…
