Summary

Guest speakers: Janine Sagert, Saj Razvi, Ryan LeCompte, & Shonagh Home FROM SHOCK TO AWE (Indiegogo Campaign) /* Click image to see video From Shock to Awe is a feature-length documentary that will chronicle the journeys of military veterans as they seek relief from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder with the help of ayahuasca, MDMA (“Ecstasy”), and cannabis. It will be an intimate look at how these substances can be used to heal our wounded warriors—and, by extension, their loved ones. Our intention with this film is to raise awareness of the healing properties of, and help change the laws regulating, ayahuasca, MDMA, and cannabis so that these substances can be legally available for responsible use in therapeutic, and spiritual, settings—especially for veterans with PTSD. Because we believe that all vets have the right to choose their own path to healing. PROGRAM NOTES: “What we're finding is that after three full dose MDMA sessions, with each session lasting about a day and spread three to four months apart, we're finding that 83% of chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD sufferers no longer qualify for the diagnosis.” -Saj Razvi If you are (or know) a military veteran (or anyone else) who has PTSD, then you owe it to yourself to listen to the conversation featured in today's podcast. In this program Shonagh Home interviews Janine Sagert, the content producer of “From Shock to Awe”, Saj Razvi, who is an MDMA clinical therapist, and Ryan LeCompte, an ex marine who now runs an organization called Veterans for Entheogenic Therapy. Their discussion focuses on ways in which veterans and others suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorders can get relief, and in some cases even be cured, through the use of MDMA, ayahuasca, and cannabis.

0:00.0	Greetings from
0:02.0	Greetings from Cyberdelic Space
0:06.0	This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon.
0:23.9	And today we are going to get to listen to a conversation about PTSD
0:28.3	and some stories about successfully treating it with ayahuasca, MDMA, and cannabis.
0:35.1	Now, if you've been listening to these podcasts from the salon for a while,
0:38.7	you already know how those substances have had a positive effect on my own life. But in case
0:44.5	you're somewhat new here, I'll just give you the headlines. I first became involved with
0:49.1	MDMA when it hit the streets in Dallas, Texas in the 1980s. However, at the time, it was almost impossible to learn anything about how to properly use this medicine.
0:59.9	So, we experimented.
1:01.9	In my case, I kind of won over the top and off the deep end, and, well, I used it so often that eventually it no longer worked for me.
1:10.2	However, after a 10-year hiatus, I used it again with some of my Vietnam veteran friends in Florida.
1:16.6	And what happened in our little group, just, well, it almost seemed miraculous.
1:21.6	So if you're interested, you can hear all about this in an interview that I gave that is titled Confessions of an
1:28.3	Ecstasy Advocate. And for what it's worth, I'm still very much an advocate of this powerful
1:33.8	medicine. But today, much more has been learned about how to use MDMA in a therapeutic setting.
1:41.3	And that is what we are going to learn a little more about today after
1:46.0	we listen to this interview which was recorded for us here in the salon
1:50.0	I'll expand my own story of this just a bit in order to better fit it into the
1:55.0	picture that our guests are going to paint for us
1:58.0	also I'll tell you about a new feature of our psychedelic salon.com website
2:02.5	that, well, it may help you find the others. But first, let me add a sense of urgency to today's
