History

There is evidence that cannabis was used widely in the ancient world as a connection supplement-- "The Taoists considered cannabis to be an ingredient of one of the superior elixirs of immortality[3] It has been found in incense burners used during funerary rites in sites in China dating back to 500 B.C. [4]

"Cannabis has been an important economic crop plant for six millennia. Its uses for fiber, food, oil, medicine, and as a recreational/religious drug have been prevalent throughout this period."[5] Archeological evidence suggests that Ancient Israelites burned cannabis during their religious worship. [6]

Effects

  • Increased awareness of the physical body, often creating a form of synesthesia that combines our visual perception with proprioception, which is called visual proprioception in the Medicinal Mindfulness model
  • Deep muscle relaxation leading to energetic discharges and trauma resolution, including the activation and clearing of the meridian and chakra channels, facilitating energy movement throughout the body and profound new levels of nervous-system regulation
  • Capacity to travel through memory; increased awareness of mental habits, judgments, and anxieties leading to resolutions of unhealthy processes
  • Deeper awareness of emotional processes and activation of emotional discharges, leading to release and healing
  • Active, dreamlike, inner visual experiences and a clear capacity to imagine in a hypervivid inner reality
  • Extreme creative problem-solving activation and increased connection to intuition
  • Transpersonal phenomena such as visitations from entities or aspects of self that feel apart from the self (ancestors, guides, angels, totems, etc.) and deep spiritual states of being and nonbeing that more closely resemble unity consciousness and profound connections with the Divine
  • Activation of synchronistic transformational growth experiences in the external (real world) field that must be engaged by the journeyer
  • A deep sense of presence and body awareness as opposed to being dissociative or “out there” or “somewhere else”
  • Development of a sense of agency in life, feeling more in control of life situations and having more choice and feeling a deeper connection with the world and a greater sense of purpose.[12]

Shows similar neurological activity as LSD, psilocybin, and ayahuasca.[13]

Cannabis is a "soft" connection supplement.

Even when extremely intense, the psychedelic cannabis experience appears to be more accessible and less overwhelming for our ego. We are better able to engage with and navigate through the experience with psychedelic cannabis than with other intense psychedelics, and this increases the potential for post-session integration. The primary difference between psychedelic cannabis experiences and other psychedelic experiences is one of agency and continual consent. Though we regularly report a greater feeling of control, it doesn’t mean we’re making the experience up but rather that we have a much greater capacity to engage our experiences with skill and intention than we typically would with other psychedelics.

Contrary to most psychedelic experiences where one feels a loss of control, cannabis allows us to regain and explore a new sense of agency. The development of personal agency has often been described as a key factor in trauma resolution and significant healing for my clients.[14]
