Is Cannabis a Spiritual Tool? Meditation, Mindfullness, & the Sacred Side of the Plant
What is the connection between cannabis and spirituality? In this episode of Living the Green, we explore the spiritual side of cannabis, including its historical use in religious traditions, meditation, mindfulness, self-reflection, and connection to nature. We also discuss intentional cannabis use, altered states of consciousness, and psychedelic cannabis journeys with a therapist. If you’ve ever wondered whether cannabis can deepen spiritual practice or help you feel more connected to yourself, this conversation is for you.
