Christian Rasmussen is the founder of Minnesota Nice Ethnobotanicals , a bulk importer of Amanita muscaria and vendor of other ethnobotanical such as Blue Lotus Flower, Kanna, California Poppy and more.

Christian shares insights into the challenges and opportunities to running one of the most prolific Amanita muscaria providers in North America given the recent headwinds proposed by the FDA in which they drafted a 'warning' letter to Amanita product manufacturers regarding the agency's view of this mushroom with a multiple millennia long tradition of human use.

We get into the politics and the pressure points of being in the Amanita space, as well as the extraordinary potential that this natural remedy has and how it helped Christian personally in his journey to recovery from a crippling Benzo addiction.
