EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Sarko Gergerian and Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan Experience #2357 - Sarko Gergerian explores police Lieutenant Champions Psychedelics To Heal Trauma And Reform Policing Joe Rogan speaks with Massachusetts police lieutenant and therapist Sarko Gergerian about using psychedelics to treat first-responder trauma and rethinking the war on drugs. Gergerian recounts discovering MDMA-assisted therapy through Rick Doblin and MAPS, his own mystical treatment experience, and the staggering PTSD and suicide rates among law enforcement. They critique Schedule I drug laws, trace the political and economic roots of prohibition from cannabis to psychedelics, and argue for regulated safe supply rather than cartel-controlled black markets. The conversation closes with concrete examples of “recovery-oriented community policing” and a call to reorient law enforcement toward guardianship and public health.
