Good Dudes GrowAuthor: Gary Roberts
I lost my daughter and father to opiates. I personally know close to 10 firefighters in the past 5 years that have committed suicide. I deal with death, smell death, and see death every 3rd day for the past 16 years. I have turned my trauma personally and professionally into a vision, passion, and mission. I started with a CBD company to help first responders and advocate for their access to cannabis to save their lives. I am now building a medical center in Costa Rica to do clinical trials and train professionals in the mental health industry on the benefits of psychedelics and how to properly use them in their practice. Listen to my story and the stories of celebrities, athletes, and others who use plant base medicine to fight the demons in their life.
