Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died Sunday from a suspected overdose inside a California sober living facility. Months earlier, Gerber shared that he had traveled to Cancún, Mexico, to undergo an “ibogaine flood dose” psychedelic treatment – illegal in the USA – in hopes of overcoming chronic depression and substance dependency.
Dr. Drew, an addiction medicine specialist for decades, explains what ibogaine is, why it is used to treat opioid and cocaine addiction, why it remains illegal in the United States, and the real risks involved in ibogaine treatment.
Ben Bergquam, host of Law & Border on Real America’s Voice and founder of Frontline America, joins to talk about his own recovery from crack cocaine addiction and his new book, Step Into Fear: A Journey from Addiction to Courage and Purpose.
Also on the show: A.J. Rice, president and CEO of Publius PR and host of the Dangerous Laughter podcast, discusses his new book, The Curse of the Bearded Lady: How the Trans Mafia Whacked American Sanity, which he says is the conclusion of his trilogy on American culture.
