Today we talk to an amazing woman; Valessa Taylor who is a retired Airforce Master Sergeant and currently getting ready to release her first book. She retired in 2015 and has been doing motivational speaking since. She has such an amazing story to tell.

Today we talk to Kerry Valderrama, who is the CEO of Alamo City Studios, an Actor, a Director and a former member of the 82nd Airborne. Kerry enlisted out of high school and severed pre-9/11 (1999) but was still active duty when 9/11 happened. He talked about life as a prewar paratroop, going to A-stan and coming home and pursuing a passion he set aside for service of his country.

Today we talk to Cold War & Afghanistan War veteran, David Mendez. He tell us about spending time doing border patrols during the cold war on the West & East German borders and looking across to see Soviets looking back. He talks about his ex-part life after the service, when he stayed in Germany. He talks about having a desire to return to service after his cousin was killed in Iraq. He is now a Hollywood Special Effects make up artists, background actor and runs the extremely popular FilmIndustryLA facebook group with over 17,000 members.

My great friend Tim comes one and talks about his time in the Marines before 9-11, and what drove him to reenlist and deploy to Iraq in 2007.

Thoughts on Memorial day.

This is just a quck recap of the first few days in California.

Tonight I sit down with a close friend and fellow Navy Corpsman Anthony Cristo. Anthony is a a former reserve side Navy Corpsman, his story is unique because Anthony choose not to enlist until he was 36 years old. He served at my old unit, 4th LAR along side with Max Moore. In 2009 he was scheduled to deploy Afghanistan, but an injury kept him from being mobilized and his replace Xin Qi was one of the KIA’s from that deployment. We talk about struggling with PTSD and survivors guilt.

In todays episode we discuss Psilocybin. This amazing and natural compound is on par with the health benefits of CBD. Having a LD 50 of  280mg/KG of Psilocybin (not the whole dried mushroom which typically contains 1% psilocybin) or for a 150lb person 20 grams of pure compound. 

 

This compound is nearly chemically identical to Dimethyltryptamine aka DMT but orally investable. As Dennis McKenna put it, it is the perfect psychedelic for humans because it needs no preparation. It has shown to be of huge benefit when used in heroic doses (outline by Terrence McKenna as 5 grams of dried mushrooms) in reseting addiction, PTSD and depression. When used in microdoses (less than 400mg dried mushrooms), it has no psychoactive effects but acts similarly to psychopharmacological Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors for drug resistant depression & PTSD. There are also studies suggesting it has nurero-regenerative properties. 

 

Also in this episode we talk about some of the worrying trends of the large organizations such as the NFL and the new Marijuana Czar spreading disinformation about cannabis.

On this episode of Warriors War and Weed, Tommy talks about things outside of cannabis he does to help put his mind at ease. We talk a little bit about Skydiving & Archery but we really talk about his experience in an Isolation Tank this weekend. He talks about the process of going and using the tank and the he talks about the effects of the tank on mood.
