- Veterans who say traditional pharmaceuticals have failed to heal their mental scars are traveling south of the border to Mexico to use psychedelics they claim are giving them drastic results. CBS News contributor Lisa Ling reports.

Insane how vets that gave so much for this country have to go to another country to help with their medical issues. Godbless you vets.
And God bless Mexico for taking in these Veterans and helping them. Remember to always thank the hand that feeds and helps you. If it weren’t for the country taking them in and deciding to help them out of the kindness of their hearts, these US Veterans will still be in a dark place.
@@lelenny3302that's just Dumb, and incorrect. Government ain't got nothing to do with it.
@@truegileadoil8215you mean Mexico’s government got nothing to do with it? Well how about Mexico’s government not making it illegal to treat people with that alternative and not chasing the owner of the clinic/house and putting him in jail for “illegal practice “? Maybe even putting users in jail as well, Mexico understands that living along side and keeping as much as traditions they could from their ancestors is key to balanced both cultures, something US government never understood and freely allowed.
@@VGAPI as they allow fentanyl to pour across the border as the government officials get rich from the cartel. Your ignorance is appalling. But so typical from your sort
@truegileadoil8215 I think you’re th le dumb and incorrect one. Lol. Look at VGA’s reply and you will get your answer. You need to start thinking more profoundly and critically on how things work lmao. Yes, let’s thank MEXICO for helping out the US VETERANS and ALLOWING AND PERMITTING this wonderful clinic to operate in THEIR country. Get it now? I know it stings finding out how that some good deeds and help came from a corrupt foreign country and not your own, but that’s how it always has kinda of been. People leave their country because they find out they were used and tossed away like toilet paper, no support from their Government. What is there left to do? Find help elsewhere. So yes, even though it STINGS you (Could be that you’re racist and you don’t like the idea of Mexico doing more for your veterans than your own country..), but we HAVE to thank Mexico for permitting and allowing this wonderful treatment to continue. Again, I know it stings your pride, but together we can overcome it.
Thank you Mexico 🇲🇽 land of Magic!
Thank you! Our country is the best. America fails as always
We are brothers in the end! Man creates laws. But we are one race. I'm a Mexican living in the US. For over thirty years and I'm thankful for everything this country has provided for me.
@@DR.Doom5150 Two actually.
@@DR.Doom5150 they both continent in north Americas
@@wackytoons88Latin Americans see the continent as one. The North and South America being their continents is an invention of the U.S. to isolate themselves from the rest. When you ask the average person living in the US which countries are located in North America they’ll always say the U.S. and Canada forgetting that Mexico is also part of it. That was the whole point, of that rhetoric, make people believe people of color aren’t in the North; however, the rest of the continent believes and treats the whole continent as one. No north, no south, just one.
The people is the US argues that because of the tectonic plates, etc. it should be treated as two continents. Can you imagine if we did that? India seats in its own tectonic plate, are we going to call India a different continent now and take it away from Asia?
Also, with your North and South retórica, then, where does Central America lies? North or South?
Yeah, that’s right! Stop saying that are two continents within ONE continent. If you continue to do that, the Olympic flag should have more rings then on it. Each ring represents each continent in the world and there’s only 5. You don’t get your own continent, U.S,, you just DON’T!!!!
Wish my dad had this treatment . He came back from Vietnam and he was not the father I knew. He had so much going on in his mind, I hear him screaming in his sleep . Long story short dad took his life. I miss you and love you dad.
I am so sorry 🥹 🕊️
Oh my lord!!
So sorry man
rest in peace to your dad, i thank him for his service as well. May god bless you.
This is so heartbreaking, I'm so sorry for your untimely loss.
At least Mexico is there. It is a blessing having a neighbor that sees things differently is some subjects. Yes, there are issues, but there always are with your neighbors, but in the end it is a blessing. Also for Dental treatments.
Most people see it, but there's still a good portion of americans that still don't see Mexico for what they are, our friends and allies.
This just shows how stupid the drug laws are in the US.
It’s all a grift. Can’t make money from it or control it? Make it illegal. 🙄🙄🙄
They don't care about a cure because it'll hurt their profits. Instead of caring about the people, they only care about the bottom line. Glad more people are waking up.
True US has made some really bad moves past 10 to 15 years unfortunately now more people than ever before end up dead on the street
I like to the big pharma & lobbyist are on to blame mostly.
They don’t want to help you because they don’t profit from it!!
Important stories. Don’t let pharma advertisers restrict this information. Go LISA!!! 🎉

Ive suffered with Major depression since i was 12. Im 49 now. I just took my first DMT session a monyh ago. My dad that lives with me said this just yesterday. M" Michael i don't know what has changed with you this last month. But you have made me feel so important. " as he teared up. My wife and i have set up micro dosing mushrooms. 3 weeks now.
Im changed people. My addictions have fallen off, my love for life has been transformed. I look forward to conversations now. I love better, harder and with a pure unselfish heart! Its real people. I cant agree more with this. It lasts longer then you think!
❤I am so happy for you my brother ❤️ Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 I've done ibogan in a five day private session, and yes, it does last longer.
So good to hear! Bufo changed my life. It was the beginning of the end for me. No longer on psych meds!
So how long does this last? Have to do if often?
A DMT session lasts 20 min. The residual effect is unique to everyone. But, you will not ever forget it. I'm micro dosing 0.15-25 every day. Mood is very stabilized. Recovery from high-pressure situations day to day is much easier to handle. Stability in my mind! I love it!
I want help, too. Why just vets? What about the family of vets?
Psychedelic therapy treats mental health issues, anxiety and depression. Likely will be one of the most profound experiences a human can have in a lifetime
Psychedelics should only be used with great care and respect, I would love to feel same man , ya source mate
dr.perryshrooms is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Of course
dr.perryshrooms. There's a lot of potential in psychedelics
Nature is magical and healing. what a beautiful experience 🍄
hm. Can dr.perryshrooms send to me in LA?
Regardless if you vote democrat or republican our veterans should receive all the help in the world that will help them simulate back into society 🇺🇸
Pepsi or coke ? Same B S ……
Stop sending your kids to fight wars for the elites gain.
US has all the resources to take care of the Veterans they messed up. We in Mexico don't have messed up veterans, only the ones from here. Go to the border. They get treated with respect. Something US should have done a long time ago. Thank you, Jesus, for having these programs for these wonderful, deserving men and women who have served the US to keep us safe. I thank Mexico for offering this service to them.🙏🇲🇽😊
Yes, resources, money. Yet, they have to go to Mexico or other countries. "God Bless America" when you take care of your veterans.
@@hortencianavarro885 bro what are you talking about Mexican veterans don’t get jack from the their government lol it’s actually worse than in the USA
These need to be legalized. Saved my life!
Same!!
Me, three 🙏🏼
I'm glad you mede it! I am glad you are here.
Stay strong my friend ❤
🐸🐸🐸
So thankful for these amazing people. And also gratefull to Mexico for allowing this
Mexican dentists are amazing. They speak English, their offices are tidy and they don't overcharge gringos 👍
not sure if mexico allows this or just don't have the resources to stop it LMAOOOO
Yeah i don't thinks that is legal here in Mexico
@@jesbinjit's legal in almost all countries in central and south America.
@@RogueReplicantI’m going to see them down there early next year! Can’t wait
Native Americans can legally possess and do psychedelics in Mexico as it's part of their culture and medical practices.
I wish our government would wake up and do the right thing for ALL the people suffering from PTSD! Stop pushing drugs that don't work and legalize the drugs that do work! Everyone keeps complaining about mental illness and homelessness but won't do what works to prevent it! It's absolutely disgusting! Lisa, you need to tell us where this is taking place so we can get help too! Why would you keep such a valuable secret? Why don't you want everyone to get the help they need?
Oregon
There's no money in things that work
Medicines in the USA are garbage, literally. It’s just a scam from the medical Corporations to take your money for nothing and just keep stealing money from consumers even if they die they don’t care and if they heal you, is a loss for these American insurance companies and medical Corporations.
@@DragQueenJesusSO true. Since my bufo expediré de i haven’t taken any psyche meds!
Our country is ran on the health care system and the astronomical prices for medical care/ medications. They are not ever going to do what's Right for us and loose all that money they're making off of us. I'll gladly die first, before I give one penny to our evil health care system!!
Mexico just keeps winning. I love it! 🇲🇽♥️🇲🇽
I'm so glad these men are getting help! Mexico has very compassionate doctors and treatment and their care is very affordable. I hope someday our nation will do right by our vets. These men and women kept their promise to protect and serve our country and we need to keep our promises to them.😢❤ No vet should be without housing, food, or medical care- not ever!
Veterans are shoved aside for the illegals. 450 BILLION for illegals. 0 for veterans.
Keep shining a light on this. The world desperately needs it.
These medicines are ancestral and been around for ever. Someone with ptsd has allowed themselves to be harmed to the core and they don’t need more meds to confuse them further. Instead what they need is healing in the spirit. These ancestral medicines provide that.
Imagine this treatment could be available for all the veterans and people from all over the world that go through this kind of pain. Bless u guys and hope you can heal soon in my beautiful 🇲🇽
The USA would be pist
Thank you CBS for this incredible opportunity, it was an honor to facilitate these ceremonies for these courageous men. 🌊🙏
Thank you for the incredible work you do. ❤️
What an amazing platform to showcase your work brother!
Thank you for sharing your gift with the world🙏🏼
Thank you my friend, many blessings. 🌊🙏@@BlakeLevington
Thank you for receiving it. 🌊🙏@@WhenMoneyCalls
As a veteran I hope and pray all of my fellow vets find mental and emotional healing!! Bless you!!
Thanks for the sentiment but we never heal, we cope.
I live in Colombia for this reason it saved my life
They should follow God then and not take drugs that open the pineal gland to demonic possession….
The sad part is 80-90% can't get the treatment because demand is so high I hope soon they will able to treat everyone who wants help
That hug was beautiful. That love and support for each other through this healing is amazing.
Lisa covered this same subject for CNN years ago, with people with PTSD going to Peru to take Ayahuasca. The Ibogaine plant has an incredibly high success rate on getting people off their addictions.
Thank You Mexico!
The Maya was the indigenous people of Mexico and Central America that had significant access to hallucinogenic substances , Mesoamerican cultures used psychedelic substances in therapeutic and religious rituals.[2] The consumption of many of these substances dates all the way back to the Olmec era (1200-400 BCE) 😮😮😮 which is mind boggling…
This is amazing and not just for vets, but for anyone with a trauma
Lisa Ling is such an incredible reporter. Thank you for your compassion in presenting this story.
So great to hear these veterans are able to achieve relief from their PTSD.
Espero los veteranos del video se encuentren mejor de salud fisica y mental. No sabia que en mi pais hay una opcion que los hace sentir mejor. Un abrazo para ellos desde México 🇲🇽 ❤
Love seeing Lisa Ling.
I've walked the path of the Santo Daime for 20 years here in Southern Oregon. On a weekly monthly basis.
I've seen what the ayahuasca ceremonies have done for these PTS
men. It's profound. It can help them tremendously. Love seeing how society is opening up to this.
If you truly seek it out, you do not have to travel abroad to find help.
The Santo Daime is legalized here in the United States, but not many know this
5 EMO DMT is in the tea of the Santo Daime.
7:44 I wish this mentality existed everywhere. As a woman trapped in texas, desperate for all manner of help, I wish this were available for me. CPTSD is real. You don’t have to be a soldier to have a soldiers’ wounds.
GET THEE TO MEXICO!!! Bufo changed my life. No longer on psych meds!
They gave the webpage information an im sure they are more safe options that will take you to Mexico for this, it’s not only been practiced on Tijuana. Look for a Mexican state closer to Tx. Give it try.
Texas is much closer to sonora México so it might be easier to find a good source for these kinds of experiences. I wish you well in your journey to ease the mental strain you carry. ❤
DMT is not only coming from Toads. It is in a lot of plants used in South America in a healing tea called Ayahuasca, and used by Healers for centuries. A lot of retreats are in Mexico, Peru, Costa Rica etc
5 meo dmt is the one that comes from toads or synthetically made. The dmt from plants is different but has benefits too for sure
Mexico welcomes my fellow heroes with open arms🇲🇽❤️
Thank you for this. My husband has childhood PTSD but then was attacked in a street robbery and was severely injured. He spiraled severely after that and became addicted to narcotics after 3 major surgeries. After several years going on and off of disability he was let go from his job and we had to sell our home. I can’t describe here how emotionally sick my husband was. He’s doing better now and the only thing that’s helped is acupressure and getting off of all the insane medications that were prescribed over the years. I wish he could partake in this. His mind has some huge demons locked inside and it’s just horrible.
If he's willing to confront his past, start with 0.5g of dried magic mushrooms, carefully weighed. Have a journal, eye mask, comfortable place to lie down, jacket and classical music playlist. Perfect for contemplation. "Who am I really, what am I really, what is reality really". You'll find it's pure Unconditional Love
If the first session is successful you can try again in 2 weeks at 1.0g dose
Micro dosing helps me with my cptsd. Are you close to Colorado or Oregon ?
Unbelievably moving. The pain and suffering is so raw and these men are so brave for sharing the experience. I wish them the absolute best.
Lisa Ling is so thoughtful, and professional.
I experimented with psychedelics for the uplifting feelings. Childhood trauma, being a SA victim, parental abuse which I can never resolve since that parent is deceased… I have been diagnosed with clinical depression with melancholic features. I’m short to anger and long to calm down. When I microdose shrooms or LSD, the difference is considerable. My husband and our friends notice I’m so much more optimistic, I’m more sociable, i have wiser and happier anecdotes than normal.
I can release any and all anger within a second while also remaining rational and calm. The hardwired “fight or flight effect” is numbed to what I’d consider a normal level.
See if you can go to Mexico for a bufo experience. It changed my life.
Same micro-dosing mushrooms is really good for mental health. Saludos desde México
I love it... they are getting the help their souls need to remove all the pain, trauma and suffering.
As a walking zombie who is medicating day and night for chronic depression, pain that doesn’t allow me to function and let me do my daily routines I can testify how horrific is to live in a nightmare that never ends and a treatment that saves lives and is not legal in united states of America but legal in United States of México and a very low number of people in needs can have access makes me cry out loud of sadness knowing that people who give their lives to protect us and who deserve to be now protected and be treated as heroes but instead they are packed with so many toxic medications when there is proof that they can have a reset in their lives and for their families, I will gladly offer my life to save one of them.
GET THEE TO MEXICO!! Like you, I was a zombie. Bufo changed my life. It was the beginning of the end. Also look for ketamine clinics. This helped in between bufo experiences. No longer on psych meds!
Go to Mexico and find this ancestral medicine....love and light to you my friend
Please go to Mexico and have this treatment.❤❤
“ it feels like we’ve been abandoned once we took the uniform off” Funny how I’ve never been a soldier of any country and yet it’s like I can really familiarize with it. Do not join the army or any army. It’s not worth your values and the risk of not only putting your life but your mental health at risk of death.
Psychedelic shrooms trips can be truly life-changing. It's amazing how they can bring about positive transformations and have a profound impact on our lives.
This is starting to get more and more attention many with trama and ptsd are going to Mexico 🇲🇽 to get treatment. This is native medicine that practice was more common and now has diminished. May everyone find the way to a free spirit and blessed heart ..
I've been treating my PTSD for 30+ years with magic mushrooms. Mexico, here I come.
You can stay in the US also
Oregon and Colorado managed to beat big pharma and legalization
I literally teared. ....even the background with the flute is so powerful. As a veteran myself, I wish our government would stop playing politics and do more for our veterans, but when there is no personal profit $$$$ for any politician, there is also no interest to pursue any further
I'm sorry. Your gov don't care about you.
😂
Dang it! Got me tearing up. Been in pain since 2009. Seeing his tears reminds me of what's possible.
Much love brothers and sisters.
I am so glad the vets have a resource. We all know that unless a pharmaceutical company can make money, a treatment will be deemed illegal or unproven.
Here is something interesting and perhaps related. I had OCD, depression and anxiety my entire life. After I took chemo (at age 50) for Multiple Myeloma, my OCD and anxiety went away Seriously, it is gone. The drugs must have altered my brain. It is a relief!
Poor American soldiers, they suffered a lot for killing innocent people and families in foreign countries. I am in tears 🥲
Exactly effin cow a rd..sss. idgaf
This is truly beautiful
Brought tears to me
Thank you so much for sharing this important information. We have to save as many vets as we can, they deserve all the love we can even contemplate. ❤
Such an important series. Thank you!
God bless every veteran… bring them healing, peace, and calmness of mind.
Bless the people who share this medicine 🎉
Very happy that this has been getting more coverage. Over the last 3-5 years there has been a lot of literature which supports the use of psychedelics in treating chronic mental health issues.
Wonderful story of healing. I'm so grateful for you guys and sisters who fought for my freedoms. May you find yourselves on the path of healing and hope.
This is why science should trump morality. Frequently in America we never question the way things have always been done. Now we have the technology to know better than we did 50 years ago.
They had the science 50 years ago, the right just weaponized the drug war against their political opponents and minorities.
Just recently? Vets have gone to Mexico looking for healing for decades. Ever seen 'Born on the Fourth of July'?
Thank you Mexico!!!
After disclosing their strategy to combat drug addiction to the League of Nations, Mexico decriminalized drugs in 1939. Now a public health crisis, clinics were opened with treatment. It was a success. Shortly after, USA pharmaceuticals forced Mexico to abandon the program or face medicine shortages thru sanctions.
Praying for healing
This made me cry 😭 💕
Nothing hurts more than seeing a broken soul wonder lost... I pray for all who suffer in a similar manner to be healed and brought back to being their whole self again, and walk the road of life pain free again
It also can be used to help alcoholics.
SMOKERS
Hmm 🤔 interesting
When the darkness becomes too dark and the silence too deafening and the only way out seems to be “lead poisoning and an eternal dirt nap’” you’ll try anything to find a way out of your head. I am proud of these Vets. God Bless Them and Godspeed on their journey outside the confines of their mind to a place of healing.
Yes!!! So happy to see a news channel covering this!!
Soooo beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Great story!
Happy to hear Veterans are getting that help.
Great video, thank you for sharing this content. I appreciate those that provide this healing modality for our community.
5:22 "A location that I've been asked not to disclose", then proceeds to show hundreds of frames where the location can be easily found. Really great OPSEC. How hard is it to blur backgrounds?
So awesome to have this getting out to main stream knowledge of how sacred our world is and what is possible !
Also traditional healing like Shamanic Healings help as well. I offered healings for 5yrs free to Vets with good results
That area they went to is either Rosarito or near La Misión. I know because I’m from there. Well I’m glad my country can continue to help those who have taken so much from us. México 🇲🇽 is pure gold ✨.
Bufo changed my life. I will be forever grateful for the experience.
My heart ache and my eye weep when I hear these stories.
Always been amazed at how much Americans tout freedom, yet they aren’t free to put what they want into their own bodies.
Everyone reading this, please donate to VETS. I've been doing it ever since watching Shawn Ryan's self interview about his experiences with this organization and its absolutely saving the lives and livelihoods of combat veterans. This may be one of the most critical veteran organizations around today.
Where can I find their information to donate?
The simple reason why these vets can't get this treatment here in America is because the American Medical Association lobby would never allow it to happen. "Alternative treatments" would erode confidence in conventional medical treatments and that would be bad for business for the American Millionaire-Doctors Association.
Like a reset !! you believe and works ❤ Thanks for your service God bless veterans and all first responder
I have CPTSD. Psyllium has made life so much easier. I don't have nightmares anymore. I noticed that when I quit doing them for 2 years, my stress level was beyond challenging. Don't be afraid of them. They truly are a blessing.
It is an amazing journey of 20 - 30 mins. Where you are completely free and your comeback will be joyfull
Does anyone see a link for part 1 on this? Looking forward to part 3. I hope they cover Ibo in more detail and highlight what it can do and how much effort is required to facilitate a successful experience with that plant.
SUPPORT OUR VETERANS ♥️
This is an #Amazing report!! Thank you Lisa!!!
Thank goodness💚
Thank you for pointing this out
Why is everything but some things are illegal here in the United States? We should probably find new ways to treat people with mental illness. And this treatment should be legal in our country.
It's not _that_ bad. Harmine, the main chemical in ayahuasca vine, are controlled substances in Australia and Canada, but it's perfectly legal here. And Kratom is also legal (except in a few states), but it's illegal in Poland.
No. So many very promising psychedelics & dissociatives have been stalled for approval in therapeutic use in America. The absurd “War on Drugs” and the juggernaut of Big Pharma’s lobby probably have a great deal to do with this.
It’s all about the money!! We could solve so many things yet we won’t because of greed.
What a beautiful experience!!! 6:40
it suck’s when you suffering and it’s on the inside when people can’t see it it’s hard for anyone to relate unless it hits home personally.
Banning treatment with psychedelics is Absolutely unacceptable and a crime against humanity.
Amazing 🙏🏽
Did dmt in 2018 and changed my life but slowly ive felt the everyday stresses beating me up. I think i need another reboot.
We all could use some that healing!
Blessings!
The reason the U.S doesn’t allow for this type of therapy is because if all there soldiers took this type of therapy then no one would want to go and fight in wars anymore and that wouldn’t be good for the U.S military.
If you see the enemy as someone who is closely related to you then you will not commit to killing.
It is more than just that it opens up your feelings about people and you are able to gage people on your memories weather they had good intentions for you or not amd it’s more than that you’ll be able to see colors again for the first time
CHANGE NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW! Its so ridiculous we dont have a more flexibility with psychedelics.
Grateful for CBS to run this story to mainstream America. Beautiful excellent job producers and Lisa! When the veteran said he was "wrapped in Gods arms" it felt like he knows he was truly "forgiven", or that he finally KNEW he didnt need Gods forgiveness, he is loved, so loved. THANK YOU MEXICO!!!!!
I cried, for many reasons.
Amazing!
It always fascinates me how we hold ourselves back from things like access to happiness based on nothing but ancient laws and what’s broadly accepted in society. We really are primitive in our understanding of life and consciousness.
All veterans experiences trouble with PTSD or other issues should be getting these treatments for free in the United States.
So many veterans end up in horrible places after serving because of their untreated issues.
There are high numbers of vets that end up homeless and in jail, all of that can be completely avoided with these treatments
I hope this ball can roll within congress to become a legal, mediated treatment option for people who suffer from mental illness. Our current mental health system is failing.
