Brian Muraresku – Legal Counsel and Author of The Immortality Key
Did the ancient Greeks use drugs to find God? Was that inherited
by the early Greek speaking Christians? Answering ‘yes’ to either question rewrites the history of Western Civilization.
Brian C. Muraresku has been practicing law internationally for fifteen years. In 2016, he became the founding executive director of Doctors for Cannabis Regulation. In an arbitration with the NFL, Muraresku represented the first professional athlete in the United States to request a therapeutic use exemption for cannabis. He has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, CNN, goop, the Jenny McCarthy Show, KCRW, the Weekly Dish podcast, and has been featured on the Daily Beast, VICE, and many other national and international outlets. Muraresku’s debut book, The Immortality Key: The Secret History of the Religion with No Name, explores the secret psychedelic religion that connects the ancient Greeks to the early Christians, and examines the archaic roots of the ritual that is performed every Sunday for nearly one-third of the planet.
