    Stephane Lasme: Respecting and Investing in Iboga

    Stephane Lasme is a retired professional basketball player from Gabon and the co-founder and managing director of Stedde Capital, an investment firm focusing on opportunities within the realms of sports ownership, infrastructure, technology, and plant medicine – including iboga and ibogaine – in the United States and Africa. As a professional athlete, Stephane began his career in the NBA, and went on to play in the EuroLeague for Spain, Greece, and Turkey, among other teams. Stephane is also the founder of the 13 Foundation, which provides opportunities for children and youth in his hometown of Port-Gentil, Gabon.  What We Discuss Defining moments, on and off the court The 13 Foundation – how it started and how it’s grown Growing up with iboga The importance of privacy and cultural respect when working with iboga How Stephane’s company is investing in the future iboga Stedde Capital, sustainability, and the overharvesting of iboga Harm Reduction: comparing ibogaine to conventional pharmaceuticals The healing potential of iboga: what we’re missing The future of ibogaine treatment in the face of rising popularity Why It’s Important Growing up in Gabon, iboga was a household medicine for Stephane Lasme and his family. After many years as a professional athlete – and away from his culture – Stephane’s reconnection with iboga has led to the creation of a company putting real money into research, right in Gabon. We learn from Stephane that even though it has played an important role in his life, talking about iboga and his experiences with it isn’t always so important. His passion lies in investing in the future of this medicine through meaningful research and investigation alongside those who’ve grown up with it too.  Relevant Links Stephane Lasme’s website Stephane Lasme on Instagram Stedde Capital Stephane Lasme on The Microdose Stephane Lasme discusses iboga on Aspen Public Radio

    William Leonard Pickard: The Rebel Scientist Who Predicted Fentanyl

    William Leonard Pickard is a former research associate in neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, Harvard fellow in drug policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and Deputy Director of the Drug Policy Analysis Program at UCLA. His 1996 prediction of the fentanyl epidemic was published by RAND in The Future of Fentanyl and Other Synthetic Opioids. Also known as the Acid King, Pickard was the central figure in the largest LSD manufacturing case in history. Manufacturing tens of millions of doses with a partner, at its height, Pickard’s lab produced up to a kilogram of LSD approximately every five weeks. He was eventually found guilty at trial of conspiring to manufacture, distribute, and dispense ten grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and received two life sentences.On July 27, 2020, Pickard was granted compassionate release from federal prison 20 years into his sentence. In this episode, Beond co-founder Talia Eisenberg joins Ibogaine Uncovered as co-host. What We Discuss Leonard’s introduction to psychedelics The motivation behind manufacturing such vast amounts of LSD A different kind of trip: what life in a maximum security prison was like How Leonard’s time as an underground chemist influences his current work Predicting the fentanyl crisis before it began The state of ibogaine treatment: Leonard’s ongoing research Challenges facing the psychedelic treatment industry Why It’s Important William Leonard Pickard’s influence on the current psychedelic landscape cannot be overstated. His commitment to cognitive liberty is balanced with a conservative approach towards how psychedelics including ibogaine should be regulated and consumed. His life story encapsulates America’s fraught relationship with drugs, from his 1996 prediction of the fentanyl crisis, to serving 20 years in a maximum security prison for conspiring to manufacture LSD. This storied background lends to unparalleled insights on the use of psychedelics, and informs his ongoing research of ibogaine treatment centers and retreats.

    Gary Katz Part 2: How to Identify and Treat Sex Addiction

    Certified sex addiction therapist Gary Katz is back for a second episode following a recent men’s retreat at Beond. Gary is the founder for the Center for Intimacy Recovery in New York. He has been trained in a variety of modalities including sensorimotor psychotherapy and EMDR. Gary joins us again to dive back into the subject of sex addiction, this time answering questions we didn’t get to cover in our last discussion, and discussing the retreat for men suffering from sex addiction. Why Gary decided to become a sex therapist after 20 years in education Self-awareness: What are the signs that one’s sexual behaviors are becoming problematic? Denial as a result of shame and guilt The first line of treatment Talk therapy: How effective is it? Where does it lack? Men’s retreat: Why six men joined Gary at Beond in May Feedback post-ibogaine treatment The importance of preparation and integration Why it’s important: Where much of Gary’s last appearance on the show was dedicated to unpacking the “what” and “why” of sex addiction, this episode speaks to the “how”: how to identify it, and how to treat it. Gary discusses the experience of witnessing six men dealing with different levels of compulsive or destructive sexual or intimate behaviors, who traveled to Beond to receive ibogaine treatment and engage in twice-daily group therapy sessions. How did they come to a place of feeling better? Gary highlights the importance of honesty, accountability, preparation, and integration, and reminds us that when it comes to using psychedelics or engaging in healing work of any kind, we’re all starting at different places and moving at different paces.  Relevant links: Ibogaine Uncovered: Episode 31: Ibogaine for Sex Addiction and Betrayal Trauma The Center for Intimacy Recovery About Gary Center for Intimacy Recovery: Men’s Retreat Statistics on Sex Addiction in America
