HOW LAMAR GOT SOBER, VISIONS & MORE!
Richard: How did you get sober?
Lamar: Strong will…
Richard: Did you do therapy at all?
Lamar: God…plant medicine I think helped me a lot as well.
Richard: Pot?
Lamar: Pot, it helps me daily. And then took African plant medicine, which is used to help people with anxiety, depression and addicts. My African ancestors used to use it to get in touch with their lost loved ones. The people who were on Iyanuwo.
Richard: So it’s a hallucination.
Lamar: Yeah, it also has those healing qualities I just told you about.
Richard: What’s it called?
Lamar: Ibagan…I’ve done a lot of drugs in my life. I would say that that was the strongest sh*t I ever took in my life…this was under a doctor’s supervision in Mexico because it’s legal here.
Richard: The Ibagan was the strongest? Tell me about it.
Lamar: When I was going under the influence of it, it was so strong…It was just fu**ing strong. I just kicked my a**, in every which way. You had to totally submit to it, then you get to see — all these visions come to you. They say the first vision you usually see is the person you consider closest to in your family and I seen this big picture of my cousin…it is my cousin Sierra’s face, my cousin that helped raise me along with my grandmother. Then I kept hearing my mothers voice, and my grandmother’s voice. But I think the coolest thing, was I got to see my son again. I got to see him at the age like at 6 months, got to see him around 12, or 13 and then the age that he would be now. So, I think it was just a combination of Ketemine as well, a combination of treatments, me just realizing that life is too precious…like especially now, you were just talking about Fentanyl, I couldn’t imagine me putting anything through my nose, with that type of sh*t out there like that…Think about it, 15 minutes of high — [or] your life? It don’t even really equal out.”
Richard: So that’s why you’re here. This podcast is called We’re Out Of Time.
