This week on the Green Rush, we wanted to revisit our previous sit down with Rick Doblin, Founder and Executive Director of MAPS. Recorded during a special fireside chat with our host Anne Donohoe at the virtual KCSA Psychedelics Investor Conference, Rick sat down to discuss the evolution of the psychedelics space, the latest on MAPS clinical trials and the roster of well-known capital market players supporting the psychedelic renaissance.  Suffice to say, there likely would not be a revived psychedelics industry if it were not for Rick who has for the last 35 years worked with the FDA, Congress and researchers around the world to advance psychedelic science and medicine. Founded by Rick in 1986, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit research and educational organization that develops medical, legal, and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics and marijuana.   Over the decades, Rick Doblin has established himself as a leading authority on the renaissance of psychedelics and his insights on how these molecules may be able to solve the global mental health crisis will not be something that you want to miss. Rick will also be a featured speaker at next month’s Microdose: Wonderland Conference in Miami – so if you are planning to attend the show, make sure not to miss his session.   So sit back, relax and listen to our special fireside chat with Rick Doblin.  Links and mentions in the show MAPS website: https://maps.org/Rick Doblin’s TED Talks: https://www.ted.com/speakers/rick_doblin Links to the guest’s company and social media accounts Rick Doblin’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/rickdoblinMAPS Twitter: https://twitter.com/MAPSRick Doblin’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdoblin/MAPS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mapsnews/ Show Credits: This episode was hosted by Anne Donohoe of KCSA Strategic Communications.  Special thanks to our Program Director Shea Gunther.

Green Rush Podcast

Rick Doblin, Founder and Executive Director of MAPS, at the KCSA Psychedelic Conference

Welcome to the Green Rush, a KCSA Strategic Communications Production, and a weekly conversation hosted by Anne Donohoe and Nick Opich. Each episode we talk with the most interesting, influential, people in cannabis and psychedelic industries and this week we’re replaying an old favorite of ours, our conversation with Eben Britton, a former NFL offensive lineman and a dedicated cannabis and psychedelics advocate, podcaster and all-around fascinating guy. Selected 39th overall in the 2009 NFL draft, Eben spent four years with the Jacksonville Jaguars followed by two with the Chicago Bears. Since his retirement in 2014, Britton has been extremely open about his use of cannabis as a preferred method of pain management during his football career, and has cited the health risks associated with pharmaceutical painkillers as a reason why players should not be punished for choosing a natural alternative. Britton is now a board member of Athletes for Care, a group that advocates for athletes on various issues of health and safety including the use of cannabis as medicine. This is truly a fascinating conversation, one that covers mental health, cannabis, the NFL and psychedelics. Eben gives our hosts a deep, personal dive into the trials and tribulations of his football career and how cannabis has helped him achieve a greater sense of peace in his post-playing career. So don’t sit back, lean forward and enjoy our conversation with Eben Britton.  Links to guest’s social media: Eben’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/edsbrittonEben’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eben-britton-613654b8/Eben’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/edsbritton/ Links and Mentions: https://www.hotboxinpodcast.com/https://www.athletesforcare.org/ Show Credits: This episode was hosted by Lewis Goldberg and Nick Opich of KCSA Strategic Communications.

This week, The Green Rush is republishing one of our favorite episodes from the last couple of months from when we spoke with Tim Ko, CEO of Entheon Biomedical, a company that is pioneering a leading-edge addiction recovery solution that harnesses and optimizes the therapeutic potential of the DMT molecule.  Entheon exists to invert the addiction-recovery ratio, turning the ‘untreatable case’ and ‘lost cause’ from the norm to the exception. When it comes to treating addiction, the rate of success is so low that society has been conditioned to accept – and even expect – failure. This manner of thinking is both unacceptable and counterproductive. There is a need for an alternative approach, that addresses the human cost of addiction for individuals, families and society at large. Entheon is developing a DMT-assisted therapeutic protocol that will be specifically tailored to address the core mechanisms underlying drug-seeking and using behavior. For hosts Nick and Phil Carlson, this is one of the most powerful interviews we have ever had on the show and we wanted to revisit the conversation around addiction, its effect not only on those afflicted but their friends and families and how psychedelics may be the light at the end of the tunnel for so many struggling.  So sit back and enjoy our conversation with Tim Ko of Entheon Biomedical.  Timothy Ko. Chief Executive Officer Timothy Ko has a broad background of leading private ventures in the Service Sector, Investor Relations, Retail and Technology. Timothy’s passion for the psychedelic space is shaped by firsthand knowledge of the shortcomings of the current mental health system, and through his exposure to psychedelics which he credits with saving his life.

For our loyal Green Rush listeners we are happy to share a special episode recorded from early May by our friends at MJ Today memorializing the great cannabis activist Steve Fox.  While we never worked directly with Steve, his role in challenging the stigma of cannabis and the fight he took on for years is one of the reasons the industry exists today as it does and why we have legal marijuana in the first place.
