Religion, to quote Karl Marx, is the opiate of the masses. But if you're experiencing your faith for you because it fills you with joy and happiness, then more power to you.
Imagine growing up in a world where every aspect of your life is controlled by a strict religious cult. That was TJ Carrozza's reality until a transformative psychedelic mushroom trip changed everything. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Peace On Drugs', host Aaron Akulis sits down with TJ to discuss his journey from cult member to free thinker. TJ opens up about the harsh realities of being excommunicated from his family and the profound role psychedelics played in his escape.
But the conversation doesn't stop there. Aaron and TJ dive deep into the history of the war on drugs, revealing its roots in the Catholic Church's witch hunts and its ongoing impact on addiction and society. They also explore the fascinating connections between psychedelics and early Christian practices, shedding light on how these substances may have influenced religious rituals like the eucharist.
This episode is a compelling mix of personal stories and historical insights, offering a fresh perspective on the complex relationship between religion, psychedelics, and drug policy. If you're curious about how psychedelics can be both a spiritual and therapeutic tool, or if you're interested in the broader implications of drug legalization, this episode is a must-listen. TJ's story is not just about escaping a cult; it's about finding community, human connection, and ultimately, freedom.
