What happens when a police lieutenant becomes one of America's most powerful advocates for psychedelic medicine? In this conversation, Dr. Victoria Maizes and Dr. Andrew Weil sit down with Lt. Sarko Gergerian. He is a Massachusetts police lieutenant, clinical mental health counselor, and co-founder of CLEAR (Community and Law Enforcement Assisted Recovery). Sarko traces his journey from Northeastern University philosophy student to police officer to trained psychedelic therapist, and explains why he has spent over fifteen years as an outspoken critic of the war on drugs. Also covered is the urgent call for first responders to have legal access to the same psychedelic therapies now being fast-tracked by the federal government. With momentum building from federal fast-tracking of psychedelic research to growing state decriminalization movements, Sarko makes an urgent and compelling case for why first responders deserve legal, accessible psychedelic care now.
