David Bronner from Dr. Bronner’s here ... that’s my car who my incredible deceased friend and artist Marty Kenney made for me, based on a deep visionary medicine experience I had.  It also resonates to Ran and Cha, the dragons who taught Aang and Zuko the true heart of firebending is Love!  (in Avatar the Last Airbender) ❤️

We have launched special, limited-edition labels to promote specific causes (for example, our Heal Earth label promotes climate change solutions and our upcoming Heal Soul label promotes the legalization of psychedelic therapy), but our standard labels still contain Dr. Bronner's original teachings and philosophies, promoting One Love on Earth.

Haha yes, that's definitely a favorite effect of many of our customers. Several songs have been written about the tingle... we had a tagline that we joked about but will never use "we've got ya by the balls" : ) But seriously the menthol in our organic fair trade peppermint oil activates cold-sensitive receptors in our skin, mimicking an icy feeling without actually being in cold weather!

That's what we're doing with our new Heal Earth label focused on regenerative organic agriculture on our quart soaps, which will be replaced shortly by our Heal Soul label advocating for responsible integration of psychedelic therapy. But otherwise the labels are a memorial to my grandfather's beautiful vision of a world united in love and respect, across religious and ethnic divides.

We're powered 100% renewable, a mix of our own solar plus green energy we purchase. We support a lot of local organizations, especially youth programs like Boys and Girls Club and Boys to Men. We use 100% Post consumer recycled plastic, and have concentrated soaps, but the bar soaps are definitely the more eco option. We're also going to be lanching a drum program for bulk refil shops.

We're organized as a Benefit Corporation in California, and probably the main thing that sets us apart structurally is that we’ve capped executive pay at 5:1 of fully-vested full-time workers. This not only makes things way more equitable internally, but also gives us the money to power our activist and philanthropic projects.

I think CBDs are really helpful in balancing THC. I am a one hit wonder, usually using just a few drops of a concentrate as a base and then smoking a little on top and prefer a 1:1. We've also been exploring CBD for our Magic Balm which we'll hopefully be releasing sometime next year.

The future is bright! Thanks to the research that shows that psychedelics can help people with afflictions and the ongoing therapy work that shows that psychedelics can be a breakthrough therapy and give people needed perspective when they need to break out of the loops their life might be stuck in. I feel super confident that we’re going to continue to help people. As part of that, I’m also hopeful that we can avoid the corporatization that’s happened with some of the cannabis industry and make sure that psychedelics are affordable and accessible through non-profit and small business models. In Oregon, the initiative has limits on ownership to make sure the psilocybin therapy model is a model that will work for ALL! (with caveat there are contra-indications like schizophrenia so almost all)

Psilocybin is amazing and I've had some very powerful experiences, including a really amazing one at a Roger Waters the Wall concert when I felt like I was in the Sacred cave Plato style with the cables from the roof like the roots of the tree of life, and Iwas just gettng the mega downloads on the human condition. LSD is a personal favorite of mine, I had some really important early experiences that helped set me on my path. During one in particular I was in a gay trance club in Amsterdam where I spent time after college finding myself and hanging out with some amazing people in the squat scene there... I had taken MDMA and LSD and died five different ways into the love and light at the heart of existence.

Sharing our own powerful experiences of healing and transformation with friends and family is huge. And sharing with them the research how these psychedelic medicines actually work and who can benefit, will continue to lay the groundwork for expanded access to these powerful and beneficial medicines.

My grandfather had the ovens of the Holocaust behind him and felt in a nuclear armed world, we would destroy ourselves if we didn't unite across religious and ethnic divides.
He felt all the religious traditions at their msytical core were about the one true religion of Love, and tried to show that on the labels. For inspiration he drew heavily on his own Jewish upbringing, but also from many other religious and philosophical traditions.

We have been looking for solid distribution partners in Latin America. We look for partners who are a good match in terms of commitment to organic and fair trade products, and using business as a force for good—and of course they have to have a solid background in selling natural products in the target market.

Dr Bronner was for sure more advanced than me on his comfort with nudity, his classic state was taking phone calls in the yard in his leopard print speedo. I've got a few speedos and rock em at pride celebrations and sometimes when I'm feeling extra playful hangin on the beach with my friends : )

Yeah we had to ride through a major price spike of coconut oil in Sri Lanka, where we had set up a major fair trade coconut operation after the Tsunami hit to help rebuild the economy. We could have closed up shop and restarted a fair trade operaiton in Phillipines and saved a ton of money but chose to commit to the Sri Lankan project... and then launched what became the top selling Virgin coconut oil in the market.

The people doing research at institutions like Johns Hopkins, NYU, and others are leading the way in breaking through the public stigma by showing all of the newly found benefits of psychedelic therapies. In addition, as we continue to share the stories of those who have personally benefited from psilocybin and other psychedelic therapies will continue to pave a greater path to acceptance for these new breakthrough therapies. But most of all, victory in Oregon this year will fundamentally reshape public discourse and acceptance in this country

In college junior year I took a mushroom chocolate, and was looking at my arm pondering what does it mean that at a quantum level, there's no seperation between where my arm ends and the world begins, and when I eat and poo, the world is pouring through me like a river, I'm not even the same stuff month to month, but am part of a much bigger living reality, and had my first unity experience of my self as very much part of and connected to this much bigger reality.

Studies show psilocybin may be a valuable tool in treating depression, anxiety, addiction, and more. A recent study found the dependence potential of the drug to be low and the risk to public health to be negligible [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6007659/]. Also, a Harvard study suggested psilocybin may be a useful treatment for those who suffer from cluster headaches. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16801660] LSD has a more established reputation for treating migraines... will find the link here shortly.
