Short filmTranscript
00:00 At approximately 3.15 p.m. on October 13th, 2015, a call came into the Nye County Dispatch Center
00:08 for an unresponsive male experiencing a medical emergency at the Love Ranch.
00:12 The patient identified as Lamar Odom. Odom is on a ventilator in a coma.
00:23 Multiple drugs were found in his system and there are reports he used synthetic Viagra.
00:28 My doctors told all of my loved ones to say your final goodbye.
00:32 Demonstrated evidence of multi-organ system failure, multiple strokes,
00:36 significant cardiac damage, kidney damage, liver failure.
00:42 Lamar, I mean, he lost his mom at 12 years of age to colon cancer. I mean,
00:46 how can a kid go through that? And then his father had a substance use problem on top of it.
00:50 My grandmother and my son died on the same day,
00:54 four or five years apart in the prime of my career. And when that happened to me,
00:59 I felt like I wanted to quit. He was a wounded individual, but in the right time,
01:06 in the right place, with the right help, you know, he could blossom.
01:09 When Greg called me to come to Florida to do the ketamine, I thought he was nuts.
01:13 I'm all about getting better, especially at this stage in my life. But doing hallucinogenic is
01:17 something I've always been trying to stay away from. It's time for liftoff. You ready?
01:20 Yes, sir. Lamar?
01:23 Whoa.
01:25 You're on a journey. Try to just be with it.
01:28 I told him I'd been preparing him for something big,
01:31 the most powerful plant psychedelic known to man.
01:35 If you might set up a purpose, you might start preparing yourself for getting in touch with
01:42 aspects of themselves that have been elusive, very important aspects of themselves and probably
01:47 account for some of why they're suffering. He likely has suffered from chronic PTSD
01:55 that has re-exacerbated over time as more traumas have occurred.
02:00 I just want to be better. Get rid of addiction, anxiety. If I can help all that out with just,
02:10 you know, a treatment like this, then why not? I might give it a shot.
