WHO WE ARE

OUR "WHY"

The Bonefrog Foundation was started after witnessing the toll that PTSD as a result of TBI was having on veterans we know as friends family, and business partners. After seeing the positive impact and improvement of neuro activity from a short-term psilocybin microdose, our team was immediately eager to make this healing process available to other veterans.

The goal of Bonefrog is to continue research on psychedelics to treat TBI and to promote the natural medicine within the political ranks working towards universal legalization. This top-notch team of veterans and business professionals are looking to work with the VA who recently has approved the use of psychedelics in their therapy.
