Psychedelics Today – Podcast Interview with Chase Hudson of Hemp Lucid
Exploring Psychedelic Therapies: Iboga, CBD, and Cannabis Paired With Ketamine
Originally published by Psychedelics Today.
In this episode, I interviewed Chase Hudson: Founder of HempLucid, a premium CBD wellness brand. Hudson discusses his journey from being a firefighter to becoming involved in the cannabis and hemp industry, the origins of HempLucid, the restrictions they faced, and their current genetics and flagship water soluble tincture. He talks about the benefits of CBD and cannabis used in conjunction with psychedelic therapy – especially ketamine-assisted therapy, which he gives to his employees as a benefit. And he talks about Lamar Odom and the documentary he executive produced, “Lamar Odom Reborn,” which chronicles how Odom came back from rock bottom through high dose CBD, iboga, and ketamine therapy.
He also discusses the idea of cannabis as a gateway drug to healing; the need for insurance to cover psychedelic therapy; the changing landscape of Utah from religious ideology to psychedelics; ketamine as the bridge between old and new models of healthcare, and more.
We both talk about our own journeys a lot, with Hudson telling the story of his powerful and life-changing ibogaine treatment, and me sharing stories from my tragic car accident and recovery, as well as the ketamine sessions I recently completed. The conversation ultimately becomes one about the need for education and conversation to help us all climb out from decades of drug war propaganda.
