He was a part of two really good documentaries that are currently on Netflix. I highly recommend. One called DMT to spirit molecule. The other one called Neurons to Nirvana, understanding psychedelic medicines. He's also part of the Hefner Research Institute, and he's also very well known for his |
| 1:16.1 | relationship with his brother, him and his brother, just being very popular in the psychedelic |
| 1:21.9 | culture and researching them and really sparking these conversations and getting information out there |
| 1:28.1 | and helping people look at psychedelics and these plant medicines differently from a different |
| 1:33.3 | perspective. And he wrote a book called The Brotherhood of the Seek of the screaming abyss, |
