Casey William Hardison is an entheogenic activist and psychedelic chemist who most famously known for getting busted making LSD In the U.K. and defending himself in court, by acting as his own lawyer during his trial.\xa0

Instead of arguing he did not commit the acts, he argued that--as long as he harmed no one--he had the human right to engage in his chosen entheogenic praxis. Casey stood for cognitive liberty and freedom of thought and continues to do so to this day.\xa0

During his trial, Casey challenged the drug laws as a discriminatory affront to free thought, therapeutic choice and free religion. The trial judge rejected these arguments and an eight-week trial ensued after which Casey was convicted on March 18, 2005 on 6 of 8 counts and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment on April 22, 2005.\xa0

Aside from being known for being kidnapped by men with guns for partaking in a peaceful loving activity, Casey has attended entheogen-related conferences, wrote articles for the MAPS Bulletin, The Entheogen Review, and contributed to Erowid.\xa0

Casey is a freedom fighter of the highest order of love and light. \xa0Extensive show notes and links are below.\xa0

FYI - I kind of went off the rails and ranted in anger about Sessions, Trump and the war on drugs in the begining of this episode for a about 20 minutes. You can skip ahead if you want to get to the interview. \xa0

Thank you! \xa0#M I N D R I G H T S
