Thus, they are able to inspire others with their story, and help in the process of healing humanity.*</center></h2> <center><h3>There is no one on earth more deserving of this description than Barry Cooper. His life story is beautiful and inspiring. To me, he is proof that humanity is moving forward to reach its highest potential.</h3></center> <center><img src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p206x206/10730906_1589992717920545_7056732891964511519_n.jpg?oh=93044b2a5ec6796785608b6b35a8b092&oe=587DF809"></center> <center><h1><b>Meet Barry Cooper</b></h1></center> Years ago, if Barry had shown up at my door, my heart would have pounded out of my chest. I probably would have tried to escape before having to meet him face-to-face. Why? Because at one point this goofy and kindred soul worked as a drug enforcer, and he was very good at his job. During his hard-working years as a narcotics officer, he managed to imprison numerous people for victimless crimes. <br> <center><img src="https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/12734076_1674461082807041_8459088158058530498_n.jpg?oh=d7d63a49161a11ebd435da73aa12695b&oe=584CC052"></center> Today, I would fearlessly welcome Barry into my home, because at some point Barry realized that it was immoral to throw people in cages for victimless crimes. He realized that punishing peaceful people does more harm than good, so he decided to flip the *light* switch and steered onto a gentler path. The former drug enforcer-now-turned-anarchist is no longer helping to keep humanity's conscious growth stagnant. He is now hard at work to help it flourish. <br> <center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JjwKEpNH6Ao" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>"></center> <br> I think people who are sensitive and loving can recognize others with the same level of sensitivity and love. I rarely find people who are as sensitive as I am, but I think Barry even has me beat. He is one of the most empathetic people I have ever met, and he genuinely cares about the well-being of others. Sometimes it takes hard lessons to become your *greatest and most beautiful* you. But in the end, it's worth it because you get to bring so much back with you and share your story with others. Barry now lives in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and helps *numerous* people in *numerous* different ways (myself, included). He has produced a series of videos to show individuals *"how to counter techniques used to arrest drug users and dealers."* He is the CEO of <a href="https://nevergetbusted.com">NeverGetBusted</a> and successfully helps people avoid being locked in a cage for peaceful acts of self-ownership. Check out how Barry helped a man walk free after getting caught with thirty-six pounds of marijuana <a href="https://steemit.com/barrycooper/@barrycooper/thirty-six-pounds-of-marijuana-dismissed-my-client-walks-free">here.</a> <br> <center><img src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13906998_1739698629616619_5187492587683071495_n.jpg?oh=3156399ebd968c7a4045d2541a0367a8&oe=58408334"></center> Barry also runs an Ayahuasca and Ibogaine retreat in Puerto Vallarta. As an Ayahuasca (and I'm sure in the future, Ibogaine) advocate myself, I know exactly how sacred it is to be able to administer these plants to others. I have a deep understanding of the potential they have to heal the emotional state of mind. I know Barry does, too. I am so honored to be assisting in the world's <b>*largest*</b> ayahuasca ceremony with Barry this upcoming year. It will take place after the greatest Anarchy conference I've ever been to, <a href="https://anarchapulco.com">Anarchapulco</a>. To be honest, there is no one I would rather work with, especially when it comes to Ayahuasca. As I've noted, Barry has a big heart, and I know he understands how sacred this medicine is. This is the largest Ayahuasca ceremony known to human history, and I'm so beyond excited to be a part of it! <a href="https://nevergetbusted.com/trip-to-wellness-with-barry-cooper/">Click here If you're interested in being a part of this life-changing event</a>! You can also find information on how to schedule your healing with Ibogaine. <br> <center><img src="https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14192167_10154417125612180_1825315929848742840_n.jpg?oh=6e05408c984b59882ca1734b022edeaf&oe=584832C6"></center><br> </br>The first time I talked to Barry was over a private message in Facebook in April of this year. At that time, I was aimlessly swimming through the darkest period of my life. I had very few people I could reach out to at this time, but fortunately one dark morning, Barry reached out to me. He invited me to his retreat center and kindly told me to "come get healed." In those words I found comfort that someone who I barely knew was kind enough to offer help. I became curious and started researching his story. He had recently shared a video where he helped treat a girl who was addicted to Meth. After eight days of Ibogaine therapy, she came out absolutely glowing. No urges. No withdrawals. All smiles. She was connected to life again! And that's when I realized... <center><b>This man's path eventually led him down a road that helps to heal individuals on a very profound level. He assists them in the process of re-opening their hearts and reconnecting to themselves and others.</b></center> <center><h2>And *THAT,* I believe, is what truly saves lives.</h2></center> <br> <center><img src="https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/11040635_1605648873021596_1911495246262808064_n.jpg?oh=a2edeb417012945b62b3a4db746d1aba&oe=584BD24D"></center> <h4>If you're interested in Barry's story, follow him on Steemit @barrycooper and show him some love!</h4>

One of these days I need to get myself to have a properly safely supervised Ibogaine treatment. I have been trying to break out of solidified habits, and I have my reasons, various health issues and somatic and neurological oddities... Well, to be perfectly honest, I barely even noticed my health problems when I lived in Amsterdam. Even when I had no money I could always find weed just by walking up and down the right parts of town with my eyes down. The downside is just the way that I tended to not be terribly productive. But I have to admit, especially after acquiring a little bud late last month, that the sense of calm it gave me, I could feel that I was slowly building up Steem, to deliberately misspell and capitalise, and I am sure if I could have access to it whenever I want it, that I would be able to break through a number of blocks that have sat firmly lodged in my system since about 5 years ago. Anyway, thankyou for sharing this story about a wonderful man who woke up to the lies because he saw them right in front of his face, and eventually could no longer tolerate being part of this wrong system.

@maceytomlin, I am humbled that you think of me like you beautifully wrote. A big sincere thanks for expressing such wonderful thoughts toward me. NeverGetBusted is lucky to have you on the Ayahuasca team. I wished words could express how I felt about you writing these things about me. I embarrassed to have been given so much honor. I hope I can hold up to how you painted me. Big love and big hug. I upvoted you of course! lol.
