I am Mark Rose activist, in 2009 I helped shaped what would become the Cannabis Industry in Colorado, by opening one of the first medical cannabis dispensaries, also testifying on behalf of patient rights at the State Capitol and working directly with State lawmakers. I have been interviewed in High Times, Rolling Stone, Denver Post, WSJ, & New York Times. 

I was involved with the distribution of Cannabis since I was a kid and continued that in a big way after I moved to Colorado, I realized the hypocrisy of cannabis laws and worked hard to change them. I am now in the process of starting a new company.

I have gone through Ketamine therapy which has changed my life for the better. I have suffered from severe PTSD, and Bipolar since I was a child and traditional medicines never worked. While with just 6 shots of Ketamine, my symptoms were improved to a point of being almost gone. 

My first LSD experience was in 1972 and ever since I wanted others to be able to experience what I had. I have been through the opioid epidemic; after I fell 150 ft., and was one of the first patients given oxycontin and luckily survived that addiction so many do not, psychedelics helped me break those chains. 

Just like when I spoke about Cannabis at the State Capital in Colorado or in the press back in 2009 when we were fighting for our rights to use Cannabis- it's the same with Psychedelics: I speak from experience and my heart, people need to know it is safe and effective and I aim to make that happen. 

I was also involved in the movement to shut down Rocky Flats who made plutonium triggers for the nuclear weapons industry in Colorado in the early 80s.

I have worked in Healthcare;
Cardiopulmonary, EMT-I, registered polysomnography Technologist in the very early days of sleep medicine. I have also owned several businesses. I also was a delegate for Bernie Sanders in 2016. I grew up in the rust belt town of Toledo Ohio, I left in 1978 to join the United States Air Force's MedicalSquadron, I then came to Boulder Colorado, lived mostly in or near my beloved Nederland Colorado. I also spent some time in Bellingham, Washington & Yellowstone. 

I have been to Russia, Thailand, Malaysia, Germany, Holland, Tajikistan, and fished just over the border in Northern Afghanistan. Active every election because I feel it is my civic duty.

Currently I am looking into starting a business that involves Iboga therapy. I am currently employed at JM Smuc I became disabled from a severe inflammatory reaction from the Moderna vaccine that damaged my AV node, but my health is improving everyday.
