Good Dudes Grow

By: Gary Roberts
  • Summary

  • I lost my daughter and father to opiates. I personally know close to 10 firefighters in the past 5 years that have committed suicide. I deal with death, smell death, and see death every 3rd day for the past 16 years. I have turned my trauma personally and professionally into a vision, passion, and mission. I started with a CBD company to help first responders and advocate for their access to cannabis to save their lives. I am now building a medical center in Costa Rica to do clinical trials and train professionals in the mental health industry on the benefits of psychedelics and how to properly use them in their practice. Listen to my story and the stories of celebrities, athletes, and others who use plant base medicine to fight the demons in their life.

  • EP103: Breaking Boundaries: The Future of Mental Health and Psychedelics with Cory Firth
    Sep 4 2024

    In this episode, we dive deep into the world of psychedelics and their potential to revolutionize mental health with our guest, Cory Firth, a leading advocate and explorer in the psychedelic space. Cory shares his personal journey, including his battle with mental health and how it led him to become a key figure in the movement for psychedelic-assisted therapies. We’ll explore his groundbreaking projects, such as Journeyman, which focuses on legacy retreats for fathers, Neuma, centered on psychedelic safety education, and F.I.V.E., which delves into the future of brain health and longevity through 5-MeO-DMT.

    Cory’s advocacy for mental health policy reform and his leadership in organizations like The Psychedelic Association of Canada have positioned him as a pivotal voice in the push to integrate psychedelics into mainstream mental health treatments. We’ll also discuss the philosophical aspects of self-exploration through psychedelics and how they can foster personal and collective growth.

    During the show, Cory will answer pressing questions such as: How do psychedelics differ from traditional mental health treatments? What are the challenges facing the psychedelic industry following the FDA's recent decision to reject MDMA for PTSD treatment? And, how can the psychedelic community address ethical concerns and ensure the highest standards in clinical research? Tune in for an insightful conversation that explores the transformative power of psychedelics and the future of mental health.
