Raymond Ryskowski

served 5 years in the Army. Following his time in the service, he suffered from PTSD, depression, and anxiety. When he discovered cannabis, it allowed him to get off all pharmaceutical medications and he began his work as a cannabis advocate. He helped produce Chronic Future: Killing Cancer, a documentary about the medicinal efficacy of cannabis and patient advocacy. He also purchased the Cannabus, which went around the country educating people about cannabis and hemp. He found that cannabis helped control his day to day symptoms, but he knew that he still needed deeper healing. In the summer of 2014 he traveled to the Hummingbird Healing Center in the Peruvian Amazon, where for one month he worked with ayahuasca, san pedro, and other plant medicines- and it was there that he met his future wife Amanda. After receiving tremendous healing from these medicines, he chose to shift his advocacy efforts towards entheogenic medicine and veteran patient rights.
