Tony Landry, a Cajun from Louisiana, served six years as a Fire Controlman in the U.S. Navy from 1988-94.
Upon returning home, working, enrolled in night classes, and raising a family, his service-related injuries led to surgeries, pharmaceutical addiction, alcohol misuse, loss of employment, relationships, and depression.
Tony began using cannabinol (CBD) to treat pain and soon created an advocacy group, Louisiana Veterans for Medical Cannabis, which was instrumental in adding chronic pain and PTSD to Louisiana medical cannabis law in 2018.
Later that year, Tony relocated to Tucson, Arizona, while continuing activism in national, state, and local drug policy reforms. After attending the 2019 Arizona Psychedelic Conference, he experienced his first ayahuasca ceremony.
Tony was able to end the old patterns of alcohol misuse and founded Decriminalize Nature Tucson as a platform to work on Arizona drug policy reforms.
In the past several months Tony has been testifying in Mental Health Subcommittee on for establishing Psilocybin Treatment Centers in Louisiana to address the mental health crisis.
Host of Vets Chatting with Granny Lisa, Co-Hosts on Vets Coming Clean, Left-Overs, and has appeared on several other podcasts.
