In today’s episode Jamie Blazquez is joined by Dr. Larry Norris to discuss mental health, entheogens, and why psychedelic decriminalization is often the first step to legalization. In many ways decriminalization is more effective than legalization! Dr Larry Norris is the co-founder of Decriminalize Nature and ERIE

Here are some of my takeaways from my talk with Dr. Larry Norris:

1. Decriminalization means lobbying at the city level to take away resources from investigating, persecuting, or arresting people taking part in using entheogens.
2. Addictive drugs typically work on the dopamine system, whereas psychedelics generally are linked to the serotonin system. What’s exciting is that there are many studies that show that psychedelics actually help treat addiction and substance use issues!
3. Decriminalize Nature started on the grassroots level in Oakland in 2019. Since then it has grown to 35-40 cities!
4. Between 12 and 13 cities have already passed measures to decriminalize entheogenic plants and fungi since 2019.
5. Psychedelics are powerful agents of changing how we perceive meaning. After a powerful mystical experience, It is often more beneficial to talk to peers in integration circles rather than going to a ‘therapist’ or even talking 1 on 1.

Welcome to my podcast Health Revolutionaries!

This is the very first episode! My guest today is Dr. Jason Austin.

Today we take a deep dive into SEASONAL LIVING.

What is seasonal living? And how can you use it to IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH?

It means being in touch with how we have lived for thousands and thousands of years. Our bodies have evolved to DO different things in the summer than in the winter. It means eating foods that are IN season! It also means getting various amount of exercise, fat, and sunlight based on where we live, and what time of year it is.

“We’ve evolved through seasons and through different cycles and so that's the style we should be living in if we want ideal health. The more we become commercialized and industrialized, a lot of those things have been lost.“

Dr. Austin is a big believer that if we lived in harmony with the seasons, this would alleviate much of sickness we have as a society. And he's pretty convincing!

My guest today is Dr. Larry Norris. Today we take a dive into one of my FAVORITE topics. Psychedelics, or plant medicine. There is so much potential for psychedelics to completely revolutionize our mental healthcare system that I get goosebumps even thinking about it. Dr. Larry Norris is an absolute badass who is doing so much in helping us integrate psychedelics into our modern lives.
