MDMA, lsd, dmt and psilocybin are amazing. I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
I am currently folding laundry and ironing. As a person with adhd and perfectionism my cannabis helps me to enjoy mundane tasks while not worrying so much to make things perfect. I also thank myself when I am done with a chore.
@@jarredsmith5590 hahaha it goes like "mowing the lawn" to "getting a water break" and ending up journaling or making food while the mower is still out front lol
I did this same thing YEARS ago. I had panic attacks in my late teens. Weed would make it worse. I decided one day to smoke my self uncomfortable and stare at myself in the mirror as the panic set in and I started worrying more, I called for more. I wanted all the panic. It immediately went away and I started to feel amazing. That was a life changing moment realizing how my anxiety and panic attacks were trying to control me
So, you basically did a form of self-exposure therapy on yourself? Or maybe even a form of flooding, where you overload your senses with the anxiety inducing stimuli to the absolute limit. Very interesting.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
Psychedelics saved me from vears of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
@@amelio3712I believe it means to find the courage & curiosity to challenge the paranoia and f’d up thought all the way through and you might find bliss.
I have been using cannabis as my therapist for the last 7 years. She is like the angel on my shoulder telling me what I did wrong and could have done better. Instead of feeling anxiety or getting paranoid about it, I listen and learn. She has made me a better person. I think cannabis is the Goddess of Healing (mind, body and soul).
Yikes this is highly alarming and reads like an addict, unfortunately numbing your prefrontal cortex on a nightly basis is probably not an angel on anyone's shoulders 😅
@@MisfitMods just addiction, lying to themselves trying to justify poor choices, I'm sure so lazy stoners are sitting next to them selling the same horseshit without any real science to support the nonsense.
I'm so grateful that someone else is talking about this, because I've been thinking similar things for a while now. I've been really learning how to connect with cannabis as a sacrament, and a teacher.
My anxiety is terrible, it started out if nowhere at 40.. If I even look at cannabis I Need a Xanax.. It went from a friendly sacrament to something I can barely tolerate or enjoy anymore.. This talk helps me embrace the anxiety somewhat..!.. Thank you for this talk..!.
i don't smoke it anymore, it is to help get in touch with feeling healing, i toast raw bud & eat a teaspoon, up to a tablespoon-ful & explore rhythms with guitar, emphasis with healing, opening to healing, trance, chants, song..etc. meditating on feeling healing sensations...prayer for feeling healing...
The absolute craziest feeling realization ive had while going through a psychedelic experience, was the felt realization that the world outside and the world inside aren't two separate worlds. That outside and inside mind are seamlessly connected and part of each other. I was like "oh, its all just one thing"
The same thing. I saw it crystal clear in my psychedelic experience that occurred back in 2016. That experience healed me a lot, as an empath + highly sensitive person + having trauma + having big imagination, it's been hellish for me since a very early age. Long story short: everything has been much better for me after my trip, still had really intense lows, but handled them well. But now with war in my country, Ukraine, all of my patterns came back, I'm traumatized much more than ever and have no access to plant medicine when I need it the most. Hopefully, they will legalize cannabis as a medicine here, as PTSD is now a terrible new "norm". I think all of plant-medicines should be legal and people have to be taught to use them mindfully. Now my heart is broken, it hurts, the war is not over yet, I cannot go home and I've seen dirty messy ignorance that popped up here and there. Which I know though, if I haven't had that trip of mine back in 2016, I would have already gone crazy. 💔
@@iamjoy888 my heart goes out to you, that is a horrible situation. Plant medicine is an amazing tool for revealing what you already have within you. You don't need a substance to be able to sit with that realization, and cultivate that safe, perfect, expansive infinite inner space. I love you and hope that you see no end in your spiritual growth!
@@Westeroni3 I agree, it reveals all that's inside. I just know it does help to get out of your mind's circles. When I was in my experience, I saw my mind - it was such a teeny tiny piece of what personality is, and personality was a teeny tiny peace of what essence is. I thought I'd never be caught up in mind again. I was living more on my heart's level after that, but now my heart is broken. And which is even worse, it feels like all of my victim's patterns of thinking are back. Thank you for your support, it's much needed 🙏💔🤝
@@R0adkillRacc00n it actually was, if you mean the experience I talked about. I've just accepted the fact that while I'm here in this reality, contrast is here as well. I was pretty good at balancing on the waves of my emotions, even my art is about rainbow as a symbol of knowing all of your states and emotions as well-being. The thing that's happening now is smth that brings to the surface the worst things, both from the outside and inside. I just hope it's gonna be light in the end of this tunnel eventually 👁👁👁 meanwhile, I'm just living it all the way it is.
Changing your perspective on smoking weed from just getting high to respecting the plant and letting it help and guide you will tremendously change the effect. Honor the plant and it will be able to help you much more ♥
You know what, I've been a weed user for over 25 years now and I've learnt more in the first 15 minutes of your podcast than I have the whole time I've smoked it, thank you and keep up the good work. Great shows. Regards, Mike from the UK.
Weed is the best mother nature can offer, when you can't sleep, feel down or no appetite. Smoke a good blunt and you will smile ,grab some food and then go nap. 😊
@keiko san Obviously you do not innerstand Cannabis. That doesn't work for everyone. I bun th erb, but when people suffer anxiety, panic attacks and depression. These are things you're unaware of... Cannabis is better taken in oil form or edibles, rather than shooting a bong or fat blunt.. These beings talking aren't spiritually awakened. But some beings believe everything they hear..✌🏼
I did not get cannabis for a very long time. Had a bad trip on it with the age of 19. After that I could not smoke any for the next 12 years, because I got so terribly paranoid with it. 12 years later, I realized, that the plant was telling me to deal with the paranoia which eventually sorted out a lot of confusing thoughts I had about myself and others. Thanks to cannabis I learned to trust in my own thoughts and my intiuation and also to set clear boundries for my social life. I also learned that the world is a darker place than I thought and that you are not supposed to get along with everybody. I believe it is important to accept this uncomfortable truth, as I figured out that hiding from this fact is like going through the world with blindfolders.. no wonder that I lived life in constant state of fear and anxiety. So whatever cannabis is, it is at least an eye-opener / trauma-solver.
Last time I had a puff it felt like it took me eternity to get home...every step i took felt like the path ahead got longer it was so uncomfortable...I was heading home so I just said to myself...we are all heading home to death....slow down and enjoy this aweful ride because it may seem long now but eventually it will be going home time and I will have missed all the good stuff if I am too anxious about getting home fast. I must have looked like a crazy person walking down the road stiffly and then grinnigh to myself. But I dont enjoy smoking it at all.
Update. It turns out that I now smoke weed almost every day. I know its just a phase, but it currently really helps solving my issues with social anciety... I found out that its an awesome creavtity tool if you dont force any thoughts and also if you don't give every crazy thought the same attention... me for example I got crazy high and started to dance while listening to minimal techno. I really haven't enjoyed being alone all by myself and being in the moment a long time... I started spending more time with myself being high and also occasionally online with friends. Than I realized how crazy awesome my life is and that I am ready to start taking responsibility and also now to invite other people (especially a girl) into my life...well..thats how I solved my social anxiety with weed :P its still a progress though ;)
Interesting… last time I did weed i had a mind shattering anxiety attack which caused months of derealization. Now starting to learn the lessons you’re talking about.
Can you help with the source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Really need! 0:01
was actually having this constant, unbearable anxiety due to work stress. Not until I came across dr.lucasmushrooms a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly 0:01
I've done microdosing for help and it works does cut depression out its been the best remedy I've ever had. psilocybin been illegal is actually a crime against humanity.
Having had a couple nightmare experiences with cannabis, including one that was and probably will be the scariest, most difficult event in my life, I realized that weed causes my mind to “split” into positive and negative sides. One brings up all the negative things and possibilities while the other tries to argue. I realize this is what’s going on normally in the background, and I’m learning to prevent that split, essentially making myself one person who can enjoy the experience, a huge help with my social anxiety
Wow. I feel this exact split sometimes too, between a panic and a confidence. It’s like I’ve been cut in half. But as you say, what a lesson! When you integrate it, a real lived yin yang appreciation can emerge
@@drfreebs encountered the two brain stuff via behavioral biology lectures from Sapolsky on youtube. It did cross my mind, but the way it reveals itself via the plant is interesting in its own way :)
@@drfreebs in my experience it switches and depends on the balance, left tends to be more composed, logical and cold, right more passionate, creative and hot.
I absolutely loved this interview! I have become aware of the fact that as we grow spiritually and our brain is re-wired synaptically with meditation and stillness that the paranoia , that cannabis once gave me, has fallen away completely and all that is left is a higher innerstanding and a deeper connection to my higher self and the divine! Cannabis is now part of my daily ritual as a mindfulness practitioner. I think if it as a spiritual tool and a medicine. I do not consider it a drug. It is so much more! Thank you gentleman! You are both amazing divine beings of light!
It is a drug and does have unwanted (for some) effects like blocking dreams and REM sleep. If it's medicinal and effective, you shouldn't need to use it daily unless you have chronic pain or something.
this sounds like me for a time - I used it carefully and in small amounts for many years with meditation and then it flipped me into psychotic type experiences - these are still reverberating nearly two years clear - I have since discovered the work of this lady - most useful ua-cam.com/video/2o2WI1hsEhk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FitMind
@@spiritlevelstudios Totally agree, dreaming is incredibly important, especially REM sleep. We work through issues in our dreams. Dependancy on anything is giving away your power. I think we can talk our way into believing our unhealthy habits are to our benefit. I think most people who use weed everyday need to take the edge off of their day. I come from experience. Weed will take away the bad vibe but it will also take away the good vibe. The ultimate high is SOBERNESS. A high many people cant tolerate as it is painful to fully face our reality, though facing it completely is the answer to "raising our vibration" and living in truth.

I’ve been smoking weed daily for 25 years and I am just now getting to look at it with more respect and reverence, which has made me cut down on it and smoke way less. Love the message you’re spreading! Thanks!
I’ve always grappled with the guilt I’ve had smoking weed, because of my parent not liking it because it was illegal but now that it’s becoming more legal I feel less guilt and listening to this podcast has made me realize that for me I’ve always loved myself under the influence of weed because I get so deep. I have thought provoking realizations, my heart is really into what’s happening to me internally mentally physically emotionally and even spiritually. I would still like to do Ayuhasqua because I feel that there are things that Kahli can show me that I have some block with.
Why on earth would you feel guilty . Other people's opinions are just not relevant to your personal decisions . Neither are laws . Did you write the law ? No well fuck it then.
I love the anxiety. It gives me a bit of challenge in some otherwise boring situations. And being able to handle it then, I feel it truly makes me mentally stronger in otherwise challenging situations.
I’m the same. I don’t like speaking to strangers when I’m high. When I’m forced to confront the anxiety, it gives me a peaceful feeling knowing that I kept it together and stayed relaxed. I know it’s good for me to mentally confront these little things head on and overcome the anxiety I would never normally face.
I have really bad anxiety under normal conditions, if I smoke when I haven't for a while the anxiety becomes 10 times more I have no choice to confront it. I love that feeling more than anything once I come to terms and actually start to accept the anxiety it all starts to fade away.
This is so interesting because the type of anxiety weed can bring about is the kind of anxiety I typically walk around with while sober. So obviously, while high, it is heightened greatly and I am leary of weed because of it. It's fascinating that some people like yourself run into that experience purposefully. I hope to be able to embrace it fully in the future as I know it can be a powerful tool. Thank you for sharing your point of view!
Psilocybin saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years the be all over for treatment of mental health related issues. 0:04
Me too. One trip on the beach after setting an intention to rewire my brain to be content instead of depressed and I've been good for almost a decade. For the first few months to year after my trip I could feel the darkness trying to creep back in, but it seemed like this external entity at that point that I could just tell to bug off. Eventually it stopped trying.
Feeling the paranoia creeping in has been a common occurrence for me in the last few decades the consistent relief has been playing guitar. The channel opens and I can totally relax and connect to the music - I go to another place and it’s amazing; that said it still makes me uneasy in other situations. This discussion is quite enlightening.
Totally relate to performing music (guitar, sing, drums) where I experience fluidity as a whole experience and new abilities are revealed unlike ever before regardless of practice level.
Ya, me also. I play guitar mostly because it's the most convenient but, I play Drums, harmonica, sing. It all helps. Just listening too music helps alot also
"Do things ceremonally" great advice here for the uninitiated. . .also makes me think of Masaro Emoto and his studies on water !!! Bring gratitude into every cup of water or anything you put into your temple
Finally someone articulated and expanded on what I’ve always felt about it. When the flower is cultivated properly, the introspective is unique to only cannabis, it never feels impaired or delusional, rather I find myself picking apart what I’ve been doing with my sober states of being and I’m judging that but in a loving way. I look forward to trying this less crystal covered strain 😂🙌
42:21 another thing that will help bring you back if you've consumed too much cannibas, is chewing on 1 or 2 whole black peppercorns, because they contain the terpenes pinene and caryophyllene, which are both known to tamp down THC's psychoactive tendencies to create a more calming, therapeutic effect. Peace ☮️✌🏻
One time when I was high I tried sniffing peppercorns because I heard it could help bring you down a bit and all the lights in my house got so bright I had to keep my eyes closed or else it hurt. Saw CEVs like on shrooms. I haven’t gone near pepper while high since lmao
I love that the conversation around anxiety and weed is out in a much bigger realm because even though I always shrugged it off in the moment, and still do, I was always shamed for getting paranoid(ANXIOUS) and I hated it and it pushed me inward to the point that I don’t know hardly anyone I used to know aside from family. The mind is such a wild thing
Same here. I often played the role of the "wet blanket" at parties and gatherings, and weed only enhanced my cautiousness. I tried not to express myself too much, but I always felt like I was not wanted.
A lot of what he said about plants and how to treat them came to me intuitively as a gardener but what he said about putting the seed in your mouth to inoculate it was new but makes perfect sense. I often ask a plant for guidance and/or insight when interacting. Not just medicinal plants but all plants. Trees are a great place to start. They REALLY REALLY send out love. They are your 3rd lung and feel very honoured to be so. Happy plant journeys to all 🌿🌾🌱🍀🌳💞
Third lung. Wow! Interesting. We have two brains maybe more, your head brain and stomach area. I'm healing my brain, me and my stomach area, eat poorly because it's cheap and easy! I'll get it right, I hope! If I had friends like you all, it would be easy, I'm stuck around people who are blind to healing their self. I'm there only light! Isn't that a kick in the pants, me, their only light. 😆😄Help me lord!!!
Emphasize set and setting, especially being around certain people that can completely off balance a particular experience. It's not cool to joke around or play stupid games when a person is in that state of being. I BELIEVE THE "UNIVERSE" shuns that inconsiderate and disrespectful attitude and behavior
Very much loving this interview!… I'm 67 years old and so I've had all sorts of different experiences with cannabis… But right now she's such a good friend… And I talk to the plant herself which happens to be growing somewhere near me… That planted herself there because on my not understanding that if you have a male plant near female plants they produce seeds lol birds and bees and flowers and trees and all that… Anyway now she is a special friend who planted herself in my garden and I use her for all sorts of medicine both topical and internal and she's become a very very good friend… My landlord told me I can't grow her anymore after this year… And we shall see what we shall see… But I've always thought that the plants -All of them are ascended masters that people can do well to learn from if they don't abuse them like they do most everything
Wow. The first 30 seconds flips every experience I've had with it on its head. It's always induced horrible panic attacks for me that come on immediately. It seems like a lot of people who are into it think they're pharmacists and would tell me it's because of this or that, nothing they would say would make any sense. This is a great explanation and very helpful. Thanks!
I took cannabis or MDMA a lot of times in one summer with the goal of getting over social anxiety and it worked really well! I realized so much in my own approach, attitude, what I say, what I don't say and how the other person reacts and now I'm not afraid to hit up normal conversation while sober, and it was fun!
I had a co-worker who I would occasionally run into at the clubs. He never liked cannabis, but I could tell he was always on MDMA (or street ecstacy) or maybe GHB. He was just so friendly and warm and cool at the club compared to how he was at work. And that dude was a chick magnet. Henhad threesomes and such all the time. Even his girlfriends brought girls home with him. Maybe I should have done the same instead of smoking myself into a dull shell every time before I went out.
I've been stating this for many years, that anxiety felt, is shadows being revealed once the days disctractions are dissipated and our mind returns to viewing of the self.
I’m going into my junior year of high school and when I was first introduced to cannabis was my sophomore year. For me it started off as something that I did just for fun and as a recreational thing but then when I started buying my own and smoking alone at home it was a completely different experience for me. It started to become a more meaningful experience and it started with it helping me have so much self love for myself and to be so grateful for the things I have. If continued to help me heal and to learn to love myself. Couple months later into the year, I went though a horrible breakup that I thought I wasn’t gonna heal from and it just left me broken. The next day I had considered using cannabis but didn’t think I should have because I felt that then it would become something I was gonna depend on and become a depressant. I decided that if I was going to smoke that I was only going to do it to have fun and try and get my mind off the breakup. Once the cannabis started to kick in, I started to become filled with so much self love again and I started to realize that maybe I could heal and that I just needed to accept that I wasn’t in the wrong and that I needed to be the bigger person and move on. The healing process was so amazing and it started to transition into a spiritual experience when I started to meditate and do things to raise my vibrations while high. It’s helped me to see that there’s so much more to life and to live in the now rather then stress about the future or past. It’s helped me realize that we aren’t our bodies and to have a deeper understanding of who I am as a person and how to grow spiritually. I’m now going into my junior year and currently use cannabis for the spiritual side it has and have the highest respect for it and am truly grateful for the experiences it’s given me. There are days where I do use it too for just recreational purposes since I’m home with a boring family for summer break. Overall, You should have the highest respect for this beautiful plant because the experiences it can bring you can be beautiful. Remember to smoke safely and responsibly, happy high’s to all the fellow stoners🤍🍃✨
You sound like a spiritually mature teenager. I was somewhat like that in high school and then it got so much trickier to be consciously self aware throughout life's later experiences, and now I'm trying to embody that space again later in life. I hope you continue to grow and heal, and never lose touch with your higher self no matter where your life path takes you.💕
I had a beautiful journey with Santa Maria and I learned a lot from her. Especially how to detect my mental patterns and work with them. It also helped to recognize different emotions and I worked with the intensity of them in order to become a merely observer. She is one of my teachers and I wish for everybody to have this profound connection with her, to treat her in a respectful way. Really grateful that this conversations happen more often.
I do that too and have been doing from the beggining. that's what I love about my little mary. It's fun ocasionally to just be a legume and watch comedies, but what literally tickles my brain is the profound intuitions you can have in your emotions + thought patterns. Though I rarely hear people use it in this way. I swear, for me what captivated me about its effects is that besides you being chiller and it cancelling some of the worries bla bla, it seems in my observation that it also enchances CERTAIN (have no idea what) mind capacities. When I started smoking, I drew only as a child. started drawing and in 1 month maximum I did this work of art that for some newb it seemed impossible. But it wasn't impossible, I did it lol. Also used it some times to plan certain things or to watch videos on youtube and learn science or whatever. I swear I feel like my brain switched from regular gas to kerosen. Even though I get tired a lot faster and the energy spent in the thinking process are much larger, the results are also so much more profound and in-depth.
@@RaduP3 I feel you in this experience. Cannabis has certainly demonstrated (to me) its ability to bring upon an experience of complete abandon and of falling into the depth of the present moment. It's as if it condenses energy inside of us to allow our focus to be concentrated at a higher volume on a specific task. Potentially how you were able to extract so much creative power out of yourself. It might've allowed you to access a natural form of expression you might've not given yourself permission to fall into before. One recurring experience I have with Cannabis is crafting better ways to love and honor myself, and as a result of that I end up in similar situations where I allow myself to completely dedicate the energy I have on a specific area of life I'm excited about. I have noticed that it's a challenging wave to surf at times because such intensity brings me to burn through my energy reserves quite fast. I have learned to stay mindful of how much energy I need to trade in order to feed those intense bouts of dedication. Sobriety allows me to execute on a calmer yet smoother level a lot of times, I have found.
@@thepathofplayfulness First of all, damn how good it is to read the message of someone that is properly articulate. Second, yes, I agree with what you said about going in a place where I didn't give myself permission before. As life continued, that place became familiar and now thank God I allow myself to create from it whenever the need arises, either sober or after I smoked. It seems that our experiences with it have some common areas from what you said.
@@RaduP3 Thank you haha, I spent a lot of time rewriting some sentences to make it palatable. I'm happy you've found a way to find that place where you gave yourself permission. And yes, it's great to hear about someone else with an experience I can relate to. Cannabis seems so unique to everybody that I rarely hear the same feedback.
Cannabis has been a good friend to me from my early days. Saved me a lot of stress and cleared my mind in the process. I respect all the plants given to us, It's about the relationship you have with everything, so everything loves and respect you back. Love is the light that guide us! Keep the good work, regards from Brazil.
I established myself with Cannabis while hiking in the Grand Canyon around 2012, leaning into that kind of pain while in an incredible setting with only one-two puffs on a joint. -After taking 2 years to restore my back. Sun grown is best. daily user since 2011, 1-2 puffs is still all I do for 8 hours. And its strong. 1g will last me 3 days. I'm also alone for most of those hours. Forest living.
that's really cool to hear, a decade of use and you've kept it to a third of a g a day, sounds like You and Cannabis have a worthwhile and positive connection, Respect
damn you are so lucky you can keep it that way for so much time. I smoke like 1-2 weeks then stop 1-2 weeks, etc. After a 1-2 weeks break I smoke exactly the same as you in the beggining, 1g for 3 days, but the next days it starts to diminish, so I need minimum 1g a day until it starts to have no more effect and I stop.
WOW!!….you guys completely NAILED this stuff, imo. Every minute of that was amazing and useful for me to hear. For so many years now I’ve thought about and wondered about a lot of this stuff, and for the first time ever I hear someone talking about it. I kept wanting to write a comment but eventually realized I would have to comment on every single thing you guys said! This gives me so much hope and help and clarity….and I don’t have a single person in my life I can talk about this stuff with, at least not w/o them thinking I’m whack. I’m super impressed and happy there are people into this stuff. Thank you!!
I have just started smoking cannabis again after a long 20 year break . I am now experiencing its amazing medicine in small doses . It’s allows me to sink into ‘Observer’ mode . This chat is fab! confirming all that I have been contemplating 👍🏻🙏🏻
@@ngonzales3781 my interpretation is that he goes thru the crucible of learning the roots of his anxiety by learning to live thru it and let go, which has to be tough as nails
@@Bethune_Groundstaff I've done upwards of 50 different substances in my life, and many combinations of those and I can confidently say that nothing gives anxiety like pot can. A high dose of THC is well beyond a terrible DMT or LSD trip. If you take a high enough dose of THC there ain't no "learning to live thru it", you just get crippled, and not just temporarily. True PTSD inducing experience if there ever was one. It's very important if someone is going to use cannabis or a THC like compound to start low and work their way up to where they feel comfortable.
I've faced the anxiety weed gives me but I do it alone because my anxiety gets 10 times worse smoking with people. One day I would love to enjoy smoking with people.
Did a 7 day cannabis cleanse, then reintroduced on 12/02/2022 and had a two week explosion of revelations, insights, and pure inspiration on a level I can only describe as life changing. After years of heart numbness, I can now face my traumas and bad experiences more clearly and positively that was like a fire hydrant of emotions. The clincher for me was when this first happened, and unbeknownst to my wife, she said for the first time in our relationship that “you look different” but wasn’t certain how(?). I’m so grateful for God’s medicine for spiritual, mental, and physical healing.

Wow. The thumbnail is what got me clicking. Ryan’s eloquence and reverence for the plant is what got my watching. I haven’t touched cannabis in years because it would make me ridiculously self-conscious and anxious. Now I feel more at ease and ready to try it again in the intentional ways described. Thank you.
its so refreshing to hear ouid enthusiasts talk abt negative experiences and anxiety, it reminds me that im not the only one who has the feelings arrise while smoking. i feel like i only ever hear from people who only have positive experiences rave on abt it like nothing distressing can happen
I've been a medicine user for most of the 50years of my life. I use Santa Maria (cannabis) as a medicine to open my heart and connect with the sacred. I often feel total love and bliss in the presence of this profound teacher. I have worked through much anxiety and fear with this medicine, and on the other side of these states exists a profound peace and serenity. As a side note I have also used ayahuasca extensively, and after a few years of using ayahuasca in a ritual setting my relationship to cannabis changed from a head experience to a heart experience.
"I've been a medicine user" "in the presence of this profound teacher" You know just because you take weed and psyches doesn't mean you have to sound cringe, right?
That conversation was so important for me. I've been smoking 4 joints per day. It has made my mood and even work productivity better, but I still feel like it distances myself from some interests and people. I'll try this weekend method, beginning with a "only at night" method, let's start with small steps :) Thanks for all this valuable information and inquires!
If it distances you from certain people or activities there’s usually a reason for me anyway, it just means I’m not aligned with these things and it’s better to do something I am aligned with🙏🏼good luck 🍀
It has only distanced me from judgmental family members that refuse to sit at the same table with me just because I decide to use cannabis. Literally all these people who I love and feel sad that I can't connect with them, but it's true. They see it in such a blunt way that I can't believe open up to such narrow minded people. Around other cannabis users I'm very sociable and happy, this lets me know I'm not crazy lol
Wo! This interview has been so helpful! Cannabis has been my 'sacred medicine' for 20 years, but then I would always fall into the trap of overusing it because it would allow me to feel deeply connected with my authentic self and my creativity, and I would want to keep diving deeper without integrating. Now that I've just learned about Ryan's courses here, I will definitely be seeking further teaching from him. Thank you Aubrey for interviewing such wonderful beings as Ryan and being such a beautiful being yourself.
Psylicibin and cannabis are the reasons I deal with the symptoms of what is called Borderline personality disorder. I recently found myself in the midst of ego death. The experiences I have had, have allowed me to cope with the depression by getting into the emotions I have locked away for many years or even things I have felt when a teenager. I have been able to confront the feelings I have not been able to deal with. Medatation is also important and learn from the emotions and experience while not sober.
@@Christian-kg4jd you have to find what works for you. I usually use a sensory deprivation tank to meditate, listening to idoser also helps with meditation as well.
I think exactly the same way. Most people who think they are psychotic when smoking weed are actually having an intense psychedelic experience. It's just your unprocessed thoughts without a suppressing filter mechanism.
I hope you never witness a person that is having a psychotic episode from weed. There are also phyisically hemodynamic changes in their bodies. Don't talk out of arse pls
Nah fck that, heavily smoking weed, esp if your younger, is a dumb idea, I did it, and I don't think it benefited me at all, I think it was the opposite, pyscedelics is the only "drug" that actually helped me longterm, cannibis didn't imo
Cannabis induced mind states had help me realize that cannabis was not a drug that i should take on a daily basis (for me). And helped me get out of the addiction of thc. Now i just use it once a month or less. I'm really grateful for every thc induced mind state that i could be in.
Finally! Someone is talking about paranoia on pot. Also it would great if they made super light THC strains just to be able to use it more just to grind the edges of life off. All these high strains are ridiculous.
Oh they do make strains with very high cbd, low thc, which I like a lot to take the edge off. Search around, I even love many strains of cbd flower, very little or no thc. Good luck on your quest, its worth it!!🤗
Was going to say something along those lines. There's plenty of cannabis flower out there with low THC levels. Seems those with lower T levels come with higher CBD levels. I will say this though, if you live in a state where it isn't medically or recreationally legal, it's difficult to find what you're looking for and you're always at the mercy of your dealer. Before Med and Rec I would go through a couple dealers a year because they always supply with stuff that wasn't helping with pain. They often take it personally
Such a timely video for me. Thank you! I’ve been meditating with cannabis for a for years now. I really appreciate the tips on how to connect with the medicine when you don’t know where/how it was grown. And I REALLY loved Aubrey’s comments about the various perspectives of God!
Cannabis is the mother that speaks to us a whole lifetime. I've been listening for over fifty years. My first experience with LSD was back in 1971 at 16ys old. My life's trajectory changed that day. Both of you are enlightning. You speak truth.
@@ts1994-b9j and for the record, ANYTHING pertaining to "matter/material" pertains to the mother. The words "matter" and "material" are derived from the Latin "matér" meaning "mother," because "matter" is the feminine vibration of existence.
Man you guys lol. "Cannabis is the mother" no. . . it's a plant. It's here for certain purposes, when people abuse it, often times it leads to depersonalization disorder and anxiety/panic disorder. Seek Christ, lay your problems on Him, He cares for you.
As a person who is bipolar I have never had a negative experience with cannabis or any other psychedelic. The higher the dose the better I feel. It just makes me feel “normal” it gets rid of my anxiety and depression and it gives me a hopeful and positive outlook on life.
Glad to hear others say how challenging, a challenging THC experience can be. I took a long tolerance break and then jumped back in with a 100mg/ml oil I made and knew very early on it was going to be rough... I have had profoundly 'strong' mushroom and Lucy experiences that were not remotely as challenging as some of my THC experiences... But it's just weed...
THC has provided harder trips for me than anything else, as far as headspace goes. Walking down the street after a joint feels far stranger to me than flying through fractal landscapes in a k-hole.
@@AcrylicGoblin When the ordinary starts to seem bizarre, alien, or even 'fake', that's called derealization. It's almost always mixed with a deep sense of uneasiness, like something bad is about to happen. Most people don't realize that anxiety makes you feel 'strange' as you say or even crazy, which is why it's a legitimate psychiatric disorder.
It can have a lot of benefits for people suffering with different ailments, but the people who want to use it to get high, and think it's some savior in their life are in for a hard let down in due time.
Swami Chaitanya has been implementing bio geometry in his garden for years on his farm in Northern California. You can look him up here on youtube where he speaks about it and shares his farm and growing techniques. Also, as a cannabis grower myself, I learn much more from this plant by growing it and being with it than consuming it. By far! It is quite an experience cultivating this plant, especially when flower time comes around. The smells and sights in flowering of this plant are something very special to experience.
Thank you both for this, truly grateful I listened to this exact podcast today, on the day of my fathers passing. Luckily for both of us, we shared a moment of true connection with the help of cannabis before he died. That was 9 years ago, my late 30’s was my first time feeling it’s magic. Prior to catching my father light up, that one incredible night, after putting my kids to bed, I’d only smoked ONE handful of times in highschool, didn’t get anything out of it, coincidently in Austin where I grew up:) Fast forward, now single, living in Mexico, and alone for the first time, completely alone. Now with wifi, and podcasts like yours, (my check point Charlie,) I look back over these years, since started smoking pot. Having never been around people who consumed substances before, I’m just now learning about life haha, hearing what it is like for others, how they feel it in their body. Aubrey, yes, the breathing, the body work, kinetic sensation everything is new for me. Lost over 40kilos after the discovery of how great life actually is, with the help of some plant friends. I’m always saying, as a kid, they put me in a corral and threw some horses in it. Ever wonder what would happen if you gave a horse a psychedelic? That’s me, no idea, unsuspecting. Except Ayahuasca, all were taken home alone, with no prior googling. Reason being, never wanting to create and expectation. Some fucking un believable shit went down, started writing about it, no witnesses. Went all in with the studies, never paid much attention in school. Thank to the Univ. of UA-cam, I now believe I may have an equivalent to a Ph.D in Psychedelic studies, and Neuroscience. Thanks to you guys, I’m now understanding the cycles, one goes through when smoking Cannabis. Going through a really rocky bottom patch in my life now, after having been operated on a broken clavicle twice in a month, shit hit the fan fast. Unable to ride, move, rendered me into a downward spiral. Right now, I’m feeling like that friend, wants to be a rock star, sitting here, millions of ideas (by which came to me via plant meds), life changing, incredible things, all inside a guitar case, in my case, back in the Corral one again, and it ain’t ok with me anymore. Psychedelics created so much, showed me what’s possible. Heard these Terence McKenna recordings before, about taking in the lessons and hanging up the phone. Succeed in applying them before the fall. The pain made me dependent, paranoid, with dire thoughts. Love this lesson you guys gave me, I’ll only be smoking when NECESSARY, and or weekends like Ryan.
To me, learning that moderation is literally the key to handling anything that could be abused has helped me understand the bright side and potential medical properties in cannabis. Experiencing the couch lock phase with cannabis is the sign you have taken too strong of a strain or too much of it. Terrence figured that out and used these substances, quite frankly imo to grow mentally and who knows... Maybe even raise some IQ points. Cannabis and certain hallucinogens taken in moderation in the right mind frame really is a beneficial tool, it helps promote abstract thought, creativity and for me personally it has helped with empathy and putting myself in other peopleS shoes in order to understand their perspective.
Okay so, Ive been going through a blurry and (realitivly) unhealthy phase in my life. Im here in a cabin in the woods away from the city trying to get some R&R and reset. Im sitting here smoking some cannibis and relaxing with some mushrooms thinking about my life and then all of a sudden, UA-cam started playing this episode. This podcast and these two were completely new to me. Ive been a HEAVY pot smoker for years and years and after 30 minutes of listening to these two talk, I Learned so much about using cannabis that I started looking at my life completely differently. This episode really woke me up to how much im abusing the plant and myself; by the grace of god, the universe is taking care of me by introducing me to these two in this video right when I needed it the most. Thank you, Aubrey Marcus.
Years ago I would get high and listen to Pandora, which typically plays music that it has played before. Quite often when I was high, and I know there is a relation here, beyond doubt, Pandora would play new stuff, often amazing music. So the youtube video coming on was not an accident for you. Actually this one time I was not high but it was during a time when I did get high (so I still had it in my system), I remember being alone in my apartment and choosing among several books on a table to pick up. A couple minutes later Pandora played a song I had never heard, which had the title of the book in the chorus. I was amazed, and remarked out loud that I could not think of any other books I had which this could be possible with. The very next song that came on was called "Shaman Fever" and one of the other books on the table was "Way of the Shaman". The music was spooky as it came on and gave me chills, you can find on youtube if you want to give a listen (Shiva in exile). That was a trippy experience, one of the first "synchronicities" I had that was so blatant and in my face that I could not ignore. The first book was the Bhagavad Gita. Anyway wishing you a great day and peaceful journey, hope great videos and music come into your life!
@@johns7530 there’s no such thing as a coincidence! Much love thanks for the reply. That’s wild! All those books are great reads by the way I can tell you’re on a good path 🙏
@@afterthestorm221 Synchronicities in this case referring to being hammered out of ones brain on hallucinogens and in a highly suggestible state rather than explaining improbable coincidence. Guess the term is interchangeable.
This is crazy to watch because it’s very close to the way I figured out how to break my cannabis anxiety. Was a daily smoker for years, then in my early/mid 20s anxiety set in. Bad. 50% of the time I’d smoke I’d have some level of anxiety, sometimes a full blown attack. Then one time during a panic attack I realized “on some level I wanted this” and it brought me out of it and quite quickly. From then on, whenever the anxiety came I would just tell myself again “on some level I wanted this” really feeling those words and the truth behind them. Hasn’t failed me yet, and it’s enriched the overall experience in a big way. The other game changer for me is to use strains that have at least some cbd in them, or blend it with a cbd strain (say 80/20ish of flower to cbd flower). It really helps smooth out the rough edges. Thanks for the great content
This is incredibly interesting due to the obvious experience and profound insights of you both. Seriously this answers questions I didn’t know how to ask. This is my third or fourth viewing and that has been my experience each time! Isn’t that cool? Thank you friends. 🙏🏻
I resonate with this podcast so much. Every single thing in this podcast I’ve experienced personally. The mindset. The use of these tools, the battle with anxiety and overuse, cultivating the medicine myself. I don’t smoke anything from the dispo anymore it’s all my own home grown. there’s a spiritual connection between it. I do the same with other psychedelics as well. I even talk to my plants!! 🌱 tell them they are doing great. Positive reinforcement and energy. Everyone who has tried my cannabis has said it’s the best. Gentle and really low on the anxiety. Even people who have told me they didn’t like cannabis when they went to the dispensary. This is what happens when business me turn something spiritual into a profit. Grow your own. Stop smoking lab grown no love cannabis as much as you can.
Great topic! Treating cannabis as a tool of self discovery in my recovery from opioid dependence and short term pharmaceutical remedies has opened a window inside.
30 years ago I was an injured athlete that became suicidal. In my ignorance I chose death by “weed”. Once I began to indulge I began to hear my spirit guides convince me my life without athletics is possible. Cannabis didn’t take my pain away yet allowed me to live with the pain. Now, It’s surreal to see all the dispensaries almost on every block yet I’m very grateful I don’t have to get my medicine like I used to.
I am now a new follower of both of you due to this! This by far is the best ever information ever given by anyone on cannabis! I love it! I've been on cannabis over 40yrs now! At 1st for fun, second for therapeutic needs and lastly as a spiritual opening to the world of our mind and control of our bodies!!! Cannabis by far is the best!
Great podcast, It was so helpful to better understand my " paranoia" with pot. I do believe it is a mirror into myself and what is happening internally. Thanks so much!
Thank you for reinforcing the message I've been receiving from her. Which was to step away until I can come back with the respect she deserves. Great chat as always and so grateful for the wisdom shared 🖖🌲💪
Great podcast! Have found my way home using cannabis with intention, now we grow our own in our home, love infused, sacred medicine. Grateful that you are putting this vital and world changing info about the plant out there 🌿💚💚💚
My dad died 3 years ago, lost my family, lost my business. Nearly was on the streets. Right on the edge of ending my life but smoking cannabis has stopped that. Been a long ass ride, deep dark black hole but I'm still here and still stomping through this sickness I have no clue about but I'm here that's the main thing thanks to cannabis and my two dogs and all the podcasts out there. There ain't no other help we just get told to phone 100 different people go round in circles and make you more sick. Can't trust real life we all got to come to UA-cam. It's joke but that's all we got.
Yes! So glad this is talked about as a shaman like tool, a way to delve into yourself instead of just getting high. Post breast cancer thriver cuz of adding cannabis to my health care & spiritual journey. 🌀
I love that Aubrey will acknowledge the risk of these substances without throwing in the "don't try this at home" disclaimer. So many other youtubers will share their wonderful experiences but then say "I never recommend that anyone else try this." I feel like that kind of sends mixed messages and almost comes across like they're better than you. Aubrey seems to acknowledge that we're all adults and we can find our own way and make our own mistakes because in the end that's where the real growth is.
I never take the disclaimers that way, because I understand that they say that shit to keep from getting sued, or having their videos banned. I did not know that some took your viewpoint though. Interesting.
@@armadasinterceptor2955 that's true, and it is a shame that they have to worry about getting banned. I suppose it did come across a little harsh towards other youtubers but mostly I just meant it as a compliment towards Aubrey
Breathwork is the master key to all of these experiences. Plant medicine isn’t necessary for those that are truly illuminated. The plants have their place, but in the end it’s all about the individual.
Yes!!!! It helps me with awareness & brings me to the observer position as well. Shadowwork comes much quicker/ clearer & smoother realization/release.🐛🦋🐍 Thank 💚 You🙏 Soooo beautifully explained🤩🙏💚
Bros, this episode is pure medicine for me. I'm a cannabis user for 14 years and I've never heard such a great teaching about this plant, like in this interview. Thank you so much, this is so needed for this world! Aho Mitakuye Oyasin
Heavy breath work whilst super stoned - Cannahuasca...my body exploded into pure and electrifying vibration....not expecting it was REALLY REALLY FRIGHTENING Hahaha but it was eye opening for sure. Thank you Aubrey 👊
Remember if you intake a lot of caffeine, pot can amplify the caffeine effect so you go on an anxiety rollercoaster that can even linger for days afterwards
Word? I felt like I could handle but I feel like being addicted to such a nice feeling is bad for me. I didn’t want to mix it with caffeine but I still did. A cup of caffeine is a lot for me
Same love the boost of caffeine but it's super addictive and I enjoy life without craving it more, look into improving your sleep and diet, you won't need to reach for the artificial energy boost when youre full of energy for life 😄 so worth it I promise
Wow I had drank a bunch of coffee quickly at my last job and hit my weed pen and I freaked the hell out thinking I would die and legit almost did and since then it's been rocky to smoke
I had scoured reddit, the internet, etc. for this... Seems like most people out there use cannabis to "get high", but a recent experience of mine was incredible - I was at a mall and my anxiety was just going haywire... But being able to see the anxiety SO boldly and clearly also offered me the opportunity to let go of it. I realized.... this is not the drug... This is how my internal state *really* is all of the time.... I am an anxious wreck! I felt wonderful for days after the experience. I now use it mainly for introspection and self-healing. Awesome video
Wonderful interview. I am a 70 year old that smoked pot every day from 1967 to 1979. I then quit cuz I became a strict vegan and refused to put smoke into my lungs. I have also taken mushrooms and many does of the best sunshine LSD. I just ordered some edibles to get back into woking on myself. I will try to connect with Ryan.
I was a heavy smoker for years and i had two times that i hit a wall and had extreme anxiety when imbibing any weed at all. My friend explained to me to just keep trying it with smaller doses and i got over the extreme reaction just fine. Ive had bad trips too but now i know how to sit with it and respect the substance and what its trying to show me. I still smoke but im not using it to cover up my issues, instead i use it to explore my issues and change my behavior for the better. Currently still using it to help me quit drinking daily.
I think the space is the most important when doing cannabis. It doesn’t really matter what medicine or who grows it as long as is pure. It’s your perspective on what it brings up.
The part about weed showing you what's already inside you is so true. When I first started smoking it, Holy christ the anxiety gave me full on panic attacks. I was in a scary, toxic relationship too, so it brought all that to the forefront. I thought it was the weed. Now that I'm out of that situation and away from the particular person, weed just brings out the empathetic side in me. The side that sees how most arguments and squabbles are a waste of time, and that we should just be kind to each other.
Do you believe in Christ? If not why use His Holy name to swear? Do you use Allah to swear? Krishna? Think about it. . . why do they constantly use His name in vain in every Hellywood movie you ever seen? Best thing you can do is ditch the dope, i smoked it for over 20 years. I STILL fall back into it now and then, and every time it ends the same. With depersonalization and panic attacks. Seek the Lord, put His Spirit into the void in your life, because you're SELF MEDICATING out of a need, a need most people do not understand and do not want to understand. We were MADE to worship our creator. If we do not do that, we find anything else to fill that void.
thank you for sharing this ... my mind is blown by how much you two have brought out the true medicine spirit out of this. i am not much of a partaker with marijuana often .... like maybe once a year now , as i was a multi smoker daily in my younger years . you two really illustrated true relationship one can have with her.
Yall I need to tell you that these guys know what they are talking about 100%. I used to have anxiety attacks when smoking weed and I had them so bad that I had depersonalization for a while. I didn't smoke weed for along time after that but then one day I said fuck it, I wanna try it again and face my anxiety and see what weed could actually do for me. I got really high and thought I was never going to come down but I tuned in with it and I really enjoyed it. I started smoking weed just to get high and didnt stop for a couple long years and then it finally did something for me. I started getting really depressed every time that I smoked and I soon realized that it was because weed made me think alot and I was getting really deep into my head and it helped show me what was missing in my life. I realized I was depressed because at this time in my life I didnt really know who I was or where I was going and this was around the time that I dropped out of highschool. I started thinking of how to change my life around and I made a plan all while stoned and it worked and I am now in college where I thought I would never be with a job that pays good and opportunity I thought I would never see. I am also in a far better mindset now and I understand what my purpose is and why I am on this earth. I only smoke weed occasionally now and I also mix it with other herbs because that can also help with different effects and I also believe that god gave us all of this medicine for a reason and there is no reason to single them all out for just weed. I only really smoke weed now when I feel that I need to get really deep in my head about something or just have a really good spiritual time with myself. The reason why I dont smoke weed as much now it because it does mess with my ability to retain information for about 2 weeks after and I study alot but that is the only bad thing i have to say about weed though other than that I think it can help change the world if used properly.
The growth environment and what the plants are exposed to while growing is something that I have always felt had an impact on the Cannabis and its overall effects. Not to mention all the chemicals most use to get the biggest, stickiest, most potent or whatever the individual growers goal is. For me naturally organically grown is ideal and then what can I learn from the experience exchange. Thank you so much for this video.
I used to smoke it and since i am an introvert and i like to be alone most of the time, i always smoked it during late in the evening and while watching a movie or documentary, and at first i didn't understand what it does, but then i understood it doesn't affect everyone the same too. For me as i always struggled with clarity and focus it gave me exactly that. Whatever i did while high i understood it and examine it at a such deep level and i was able to see the full picture and even the small details that after the "high" was gone i couldn't even remember everything i seen or understood. I literally gave me a super power, but the negative impact was it only lasted as long as i was high. I could understand even the mecanics of the universe. And since when i started to smoke it my life was a mess and i struggled with alot of anxiety it helped me alot to understand my fears, my problems, and not just, it gave me the calm necesary to actually find solutions for them. Problem is cannabis has alot of negative impacts especially if you consume it everyday. And one of them is when you are not high you feel like even the smallest thing annoys the fk out of you, you lose patince for everything. One day after a very hard break up with someone for me, i tought i saw this person with someone else. This break up destroied me, my inner self and everything i ever belived in, it shattered my indentity and everything i am really. And even today i am not sure if the person i saw was her or was just my mind. I came home, and in desperate seek to clear my mind i light a joint and played a videogame, maybe i was so stressed i smoked too much too fast i can't remember but i suddently started to feel like i can't breath anymore. I felt like i am drowning. I started to hyperventilate up to the point where i could not even open my eyes. I got to the hospital and they callked me a junky threw me in the hallway while i was begging for a glass of water, i actually developed PTSD from that experience, i can't stand in traffic or crowd places, go malls and stuff like that. And i tought is the cannabis... But just as they said, this plant just exposed and amplified whatever was already inside of me. Since that day, i am literally building bit by bit a new person, i have to rediscover who i am and reprogram my brain. Not like i have a choice, i have to. To me cannabis was always an amplifier of what i already am. Call it psychedelic, call it drug whatever. But this is what i think this plant really do. But the problem no one talks about is, that if you allowed yourself to consume it everyday, in huge amounts, is no longer going to serve you good. As someone said, even water if you dring too much you drown. Also, while i was high, altough my brain was super focused and like amplified. My body was a vegetable. So in other words while it gives you great inspirations and imagination, it takes away your motivation to actually do those things. It keeps you in same place forever. It makes you addicted. I would say cannabis is only for one per week to consume only and when you do try to approach important matters. Don't use it to play videogames or relax at parties. Use it as medicine. I used it as a drug and it costed me 2 years of my life and maybe more, i don't know how much will it take to build a new identity of me, confident to move on with life. Cannabis it can help your life, or destroy it. The choice is yours.
Hmmm interesting perspectives on the anxiety induced from cannabis. I’ve studied plant medicine as well as plant spirit medicine. The message that I’ve received when the overwhelming feeling of paranoia and fear that come on through cannabis is that I am tapping into the collective consciousness and I’m experiencing the collective fear and paranoia. When the plant spirit is connecting me to these emotions, they do not feel like my own, I don’t go through my day having thoughts like that, only on cannabis. For me, it’s trying to help me develop empathy for the collective.
@@youngchap4941 I noticed that too. I feel like the "distance" between "thoughts" is so short and my consciousness links them faster and that's where the "we" is coming from. it's like the previous part of me with its content is communicating with the current (next one of the previous) one and they "talk" as parts between one another. I think it has something to do with dissasociation as the only time I noticed talking to myself in we while sober is when I am severely disassociated. while dissassociated, the psyche splits into multiple parts ( I saw inside me many active at the same time, up to let's say 4 or 5) and depending what caused the split, these parts are gravitating in circles around their "points of information" that created the dissasociation. (damn i hate to write this word in english) and if theoretically you would add these parts together in a way inside you by accepting them in their "apparent individuality" they get integrated in the psyche and body and with several new cycles (like a computer you know) the integration in continously more complex functions is achieved so you reach the "observator" state automatically since that's what integration is.
@@RaduP3 had to read that a few times to fully digest it. Srry I don't think I'll be able to articulate then write what you said but I get the jist of it. I don't have bad paranoia when doing a high dose but my anxiety I have will be a point of focus allot of times because I get so high I don't function like I normally would so that brings me away from the observator state. I have learned allot from weed and now know more of it's potential but I feel like I'm not fully connected to my heart to be receptive to what ever I learn I can't get emotionaly behind things like I should. I wanna do some mushrooms soon it's more in your face I guess and kinda forces and helps in that aspect then I can imagine what more I'll learn from weed.
@@youngchap4941 yes, I see what you mean with feeling like you remain emotionally behind. Don't forget to be gentle and to not force things for the purpose of knowledge because that "cuts" the body in many pieces. Be gentle and allow the story to unfold by itself. knowledge is a by product and love in the continuation of the circle of the real self is the only constant. take care brother.
I’ve had to take a break because of my daily abuse of it. When I first started smoking, I didn’t do it daily and only small amounts. I need to go back to doing it the right way
MDMA, lsd, dmt and psilocybin are amazing. I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of mycologist Predroavaro. This treatment worked for me. Helped me got rid of my life long depression and BPD.
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
I am currently folding laundry and ironing. As a person with adhd and perfectionism my cannabis helps me to enjoy mundane tasks while not worrying so much to make things perfect. I also thank myself when I am done with a chore.
I feel this comment lol.
It's my go to when mowing but, I sometimes get sidetracked and start doing other chores while taking a break.
@@jarredsmith5590 hahaha it goes like "mowing the lawn" to "getting a water break" and ending up journaling or making food while the mower is still out front lol
This is me to a tee
That’s a whole lot of labels you have on yourself there!
I did this same thing YEARS ago. I had panic attacks in my late teens. Weed would make it worse. I decided one day to smoke my self uncomfortable and stare at myself in the mirror as the panic set in and I started worrying more, I called for more. I wanted all the panic. It immediately went away and I started to feel amazing. That was a life changing moment realizing how my anxiety and panic attacks were trying to control me
Get help
Literally don’t understand this but I want to
So, you basically did a form of self-exposure therapy on yourself? Or maybe even a form of flooding, where you overload your senses with the anxiety inducing stimuli to the absolute limit. Very interesting.
This resonates with me heavy. Ima try this if i get anxious again on weed.
@@_VISION. Went over your head. Didn't it? You should get some help.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
Yes, bergwilly11
Psychedelics saved me from vears of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

Shrooms was the best trip I had. It was an amazing experience.
"Bliss is any emotion felt all the way through." Love that.
Wtf do you mean man
@@amelio3712I believe it means to find the courage & curiosity to challenge the paranoia and f’d up thought all the way through and you might find bliss.
I have been using cannabis as my therapist for the last 7 years. She is like the angel on my shoulder telling me what I did wrong and could have done better. Instead of feeling anxiety or getting paranoid about it, I listen and learn. She has made me a better person. I think cannabis is the Goddess of Healing (mind, body and soul).
Well said and very accurate👍🏻✌🏻
Yikes this is highly alarming and reads like an addict, unfortunately numbing your prefrontal cortex on a nightly basis is probably not an angel on anyone's shoulders 😅
Bro is worshipping his weed 💀
@@MisfitMods just addiction, lying to themselves trying to justify poor choices, I'm sure so lazy stoners are sitting next to them selling the same horseshit without any real science to support the nonsense.
Bro your just addicted
I'm so grateful that someone else is talking about this, because I've been thinking similar things for a while now. I've been really learning how to connect with cannabis as a sacrament, and a teacher.
It starts all the way with how it’s grown to how it’s processed and refined to medicine
same here, glad it's not just me opening up to this magical hidden experience
My anxiety is terrible, it started out if nowhere at 40.. If I even look at cannabis I Need a Xanax.. It went from a friendly sacrament to something I can barely tolerate or enjoy anymore.. This talk helps me embrace the anxiety somewhat..!.. Thank you for this talk..!.
Same!!!! This video popped up at the perfect time
i don't smoke it anymore, it is to help get in touch with feeling healing,
i toast raw bud & eat a teaspoon, up to a tablespoon-ful & explore rhythms with guitar, emphasis with healing, opening to healing, trance, chants, song..etc.
meditating on feeling healing sensations...prayer for feeling healing...
The absolute craziest feeling realization ive had while going through a psychedelic experience, was the felt realization that the world outside and the world inside aren't two separate worlds. That outside and inside mind are seamlessly connected and part of each other. I was like "oh, its all just one thing"
The same thing. I saw it crystal clear in my psychedelic experience that occurred back in 2016. That experience healed me a lot, as an empath + highly sensitive person + having trauma + having big imagination, it's been hellish for me since a very early age. Long story short: everything has been much better for me after my trip, still had really intense lows, but handled them well. But now with war in my country, Ukraine, all of my patterns came back, I'm traumatized much more than ever and have no access to plant medicine when I need it the most. Hopefully, they will legalize cannabis as a medicine here, as PTSD is now a terrible new "norm". I think all of plant-medicines should be legal and people have to be taught to use them mindfully.
Now my heart is broken, it hurts, the war is not over yet, I cannot go home and I've seen dirty messy ignorance that popped up here and there. Which I know though, if I haven't had that trip of mine back in 2016, I would have already gone crazy. 💔
@@iamjoy888 my heart goes out to you, that is a horrible situation.
Plant medicine is an amazing tool for revealing what you already have within you. You don't need a substance to be able to sit with that realization, and cultivate that safe, perfect, expansive infinite inner space. I love you and hope that you see no end in your spiritual growth!
@@Westeroni3 I agree, it reveals all that's inside. I just know it does help to get out of your mind's circles. When I was in my experience, I saw my mind - it was such a teeny tiny piece of what personality is, and personality was a teeny tiny peace of what essence is. I thought I'd never be caught up in mind again. I was living more on my heart's level after that, but now my heart is broken. And which is even worse, it feels like all of my victim's patterns of thinking are back.
Thank you for your support, it's much needed 🙏💔🤝
this sounds like a glimpse of non-duality
@@R0adkillRacc00n it actually was, if you mean the experience I talked about. I've just accepted the fact that while I'm here in this reality, contrast is here as well. I was pretty good at balancing on the waves of my emotions, even my art is about rainbow as a symbol of knowing all of your states and emotions as well-being. The thing that's happening now is smth that brings to the surface the worst things, both from the outside and inside. I just hope it's gonna be light in the end of this tunnel eventually 👁👁👁 meanwhile, I'm just living it all the way it is.
Changing your perspective on smoking weed from just getting high to respecting the plant and letting it help and guide you will tremendously change the effect. Honor the plant and it will be able to help you much more ♥
You know what, I've been a weed user for over 25 years now and I've learnt more in the first 15 minutes of your podcast than I have the whole time I've smoked it, thank you and keep up the good work. Great shows.

Weed is the best mother nature can offer, when you can't sleep, feel down or no appetite. Smoke a good blunt and you will smile ,grab some food and then go nap. 😊
I really hesitated liking this comment because it was at 69 likes and I didn’t want to ruin it.
@keiko san
Obviously you do not innerstand Cannabis. That doesn't work for everyone. I bun th erb, but when people suffer anxiety, panic attacks and depression. These are things you're unaware of... Cannabis is better taken in oil form or edibles, rather than shooting a bong or fat blunt..
These beings talking aren't spiritually awakened. But some beings believe everything they hear..✌🏼
@@bryanbuff its at 96 now lol
everybody quick upvote the dimwit, he needs it
I did not get cannabis for a very long time. Had a bad trip on it with the age of 19. After that I could not smoke any for the next 12 years, because I got so terribly paranoid with it. 12 years later, I realized, that the plant was telling me to deal with the paranoia which eventually sorted out a lot of confusing thoughts I had about myself and others. Thanks to cannabis I learned to trust in my own thoughts and my intiuation and also to set clear boundries for my social life. I also learned that the world is a darker place than I thought and that you are not supposed to get along with everybody. I believe it is important to accept this uncomfortable truth, as I figured out that hiding from this fact is like going through the world with blindfolders.. no wonder that I lived life in constant state of fear and anxiety.
So whatever cannabis is, it is at least an eye-opener / trauma-solver.
Last time I had a puff it felt like it took me eternity to get home...every step i took felt like the path ahead got longer it was so uncomfortable...I was heading home so I just said to myself...we are all heading home to death....slow down and enjoy this aweful ride because it may seem long now but eventually it will be going home time and I will have missed all the good stuff if I am too anxious about getting home fast. I must have looked like a crazy person walking down the road stiffly and then grinnigh to myself. But I dont enjoy smoking it at all.
Update. It turns out that I now smoke weed almost every day. I know its just a phase, but it currently really helps solving my issues with social anciety...
I found out that its an awesome creavtity tool if you dont force any thoughts and also if you don't give every crazy thought the same attention... me for example I got crazy high and started to dance while listening to minimal techno. I really haven't enjoyed being alone all by myself and being in the moment a long time... I started spending more time with myself being high and also occasionally online with friends.
Than I realized how crazy awesome my life is and that I am ready to start taking responsibility and also now to invite other people (especially a girl) into my life...well..thats how I solved my social anxiety with weed :P its still a progress though ;)
@@thegabbagu I am listening to Richie Hawtin.

Thank you for sharing your experience. That's so insightful and something I'd like to keep in mind.
Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress disorders. Saved my life,
Can you help with the source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Really need! 0:01
was actually having this constant, unbearable anxiety due to work stress. Not until I came across dr.lucasmushrooms a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly 0:01

Yes.Saw people talk about …, checked him out on insta and I must say he is very good at what he does.
I've done microdosing for help and it works does cut depression out its been the best remedy I've ever had. psilocybin been illegal is actually a crime against humanity.
Having had a couple nightmare experiences with cannabis, including one that was and probably will be the scariest, most difficult event in my life, I realized that weed causes my mind to “split” into positive and negative sides. One brings up all the negative things and possibilities while the other tries to argue. I realize this is what’s going on normally in the background, and I’m learning to prevent that split, essentially making myself one person who can enjoy the experience, a huge help with my social anxiety
Wow. I feel this exact split sometimes too, between a panic and a confidence. It’s like I’ve been cut in half. But as you say, what a lesson! When you integrate it, a real lived yin yang appreciation can emerge
@@drfreebs encountered the two brain stuff via behavioral biology lectures from Sapolsky on youtube. It did cross my mind, but the way it reveals itself via the plant is interesting in its own way :)
out of interest was the negative located right and the positive left in your mind space
@@drfreebs unable to remember!
@@drfreebs in my experience it switches and depends on the balance, left tends to be more composed, logical and cold, right more passionate, creative and hot.
I absolutely loved this interview! I have become aware of the fact that as we grow spiritually and our brain is re-wired synaptically with meditation and stillness that the paranoia , that cannabis once gave me, has fallen away completely and all that is left is a higher innerstanding and a deeper connection to my higher self and the divine! Cannabis is now part of my daily ritual as a mindfulness practitioner. I think if it as a spiritual tool and a medicine. I do not consider it a drug. It is so much more!
Thank you gentleman! You are both amazing divine beings of light!
It is a drug and does have unwanted (for some) effects like blocking dreams and REM sleep. If it's medicinal and effective, you shouldn't need to use it daily unless you have chronic pain or something.
Man, you just increased your tolerance.
this sounds like me for a time - I used it carefully and in small amounts for many years with meditation and then it flipped me into psychotic type experiences - these are still reverberating nearly two years clear - I have since discovered the work of this lady - most useful ua-cam.com/video/2o2WI1hsEhk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FitMind
@@spiritlevelstudios Totally agree, dreaming is incredibly important, especially REM sleep. We work through issues in our dreams. Dependancy on anything is giving away your power. I think we can talk our way into believing our unhealthy habits are to our benefit. I think most people who use weed everyday need to take the edge off of their day. I come from experience. Weed will take away the bad vibe but it will also take away the good vibe. The ultimate high is SOBERNESS. A high many people cant tolerate as it is painful to fully face our reality, though facing it completely is the answer to "raising our vibration" and living in truth.

I’ve been smoking weed daily for 25 years and I am just now getting to look at it with more respect and reverence, which has made me cut down on it and smoke way less. Love the message you’re spreading! Thanks!
I’ve always grappled with the guilt I’ve had smoking weed, because of my parent not liking it because it was illegal but now that it’s becoming more legal I feel less guilt and listening to this podcast has made me realize that for me I’ve always loved myself under the influence of weed because I get so deep. I have thought provoking realizations, my heart is really into what’s happening to me internally mentally physically emotionally and even spiritually. I would still like to do Ayuhasqua because I feel that there are things that Kahli can show me that I have some block with.
My parents were pro weed so it was never taboo growing up. I think it sad that people have to deal with what you did from ignorance
Check out (the church of ambrosia) on youtube. It's a cannabis and High dose shroom church. 15 dry grams to 30 dry grams

Just be careful because heavy use results in withdrawal that will destroy your psyche. Take vitamins.
Why on earth would you feel guilty .
Other people's opinions are just not relevant to your personal decisions .
Neither are laws . Did you write the law ? No well fuck it then.
I love the anxiety. It gives me a bit of challenge in some otherwise boring situations. And being able to handle it then, I feel it truly makes me mentally stronger in otherwise challenging situations.
I’m the same. I don’t like speaking to strangers when I’m high. When I’m forced to confront the anxiety, it gives me a peaceful feeling knowing that I kept it together and stayed relaxed. I know it’s good for me to mentally confront these little things head on and overcome the anxiety I would never normally face.
I have really bad anxiety under normal conditions, if I smoke when I haven't for a while the anxiety becomes 10 times more I have no choice to confront it. I love that feeling more than anything once I come to terms and actually start to accept the anxiety it all starts to fade away.
same here
This is so interesting because the type of anxiety weed can bring about is the kind of anxiety I typically walk around with while sober. So obviously, while high, it is heightened greatly and I am leary of weed because of it. It's fascinating that some people like yourself run into that experience purposefully. I hope to be able to embrace it fully in the future as I know it can be a powerful tool. Thank you for sharing your point of view!

@@MrWarmchocolatebotz just ignore it
Me too. One trip on the beach after setting an intention to rewire my brain to be content instead of depressed and I've been good for almost a decade. For the first few months to year after my trip I could feel the darkness trying to creep back in, but it seemed like this external entity at that point that I could just tell to bug off. Eventually it stopped trying.
Feeling the paranoia creeping in has been a common occurrence for me in the last few decades the consistent relief has been playing guitar. The channel opens and I can totally relax and connect to the music - I go to another place and it’s amazing; that said it still makes me uneasy in other situations. This discussion is quite enlightening.
Same. I love my music
Totally relate to performing music (guitar, sing, drums) where I experience fluidity as a whole experience and new abilities are revealed unlike ever before regardless of practice level.
Ya, me also. I play guitar mostly because it's the most convenient but, I play Drums, harmonica, sing. It all helps. Just listening too music helps alot also
"Do things ceremonally"
great advice here for the uninitiated. . .also makes me think of Masaro Emoto and his studies on water !!! Bring gratitude into every cup of water or anything you put into your temple
These are the first people i have ever seen to express literary exactly my thoughts of this topic. 1000% true.
Finally someone articulated and expanded on what I’ve always felt about it. When the flower is cultivated properly, the introspective is unique to only cannabis, it never feels impaired or delusional, rather I find myself picking apart what I’ve been doing with my sober states of being and I’m judging that but in a loving way. I look forward to trying this less crystal covered strain 😂🙌
That's what she does, she's a teacher and a medicine ❤
every single plant on earth teaches us something.
42:21 another thing that will help bring you back if you've consumed too much cannibas, is chewing on 1 or 2 whole black peppercorns, because they contain the terpenes pinene and caryophyllene, which are both known to tamp down THC's psychoactive tendencies to create a more calming, therapeutic effect. Peace ☮️✌🏻
One time when I was high I tried sniffing peppercorns because I heard it could help bring you down a bit and all the lights in my house got so bright I had to keep my eyes closed or else it hurt. Saw CEVs like on shrooms. I haven’t gone near pepper while high since lmao
Super cool technique...will try!!
@@sirnotawesome Brother you snorted pepper while high? That just sounds like a terrible idea for a number of reasons 😅
hey! thank u so much!
I love that the conversation around anxiety and weed is out in a much bigger realm because even though I always shrugged it off in the moment, and still do, I was always shamed for getting paranoid(ANXIOUS) and I hated it and it pushed me inward to the point that I don’t know hardly anyone I used to know aside from family. The mind is such a wild thing
❤❤
Same here. I often played the role of the "wet blanket" at parties and gatherings, and weed only enhanced my cautiousness. I tried not to express myself too much, but I always felt like I was not wanted.
A lot of what he said about plants and how to treat them came to me intuitively as a gardener but what he said about putting the seed in your mouth to inoculate it was new but makes perfect sense. I often ask a plant for guidance and/or insight when interacting. Not just medicinal plants but all plants. Trees are a great place to start. They REALLY REALLY send out love. They are your 3rd lung and feel very honoured to be so.
Happy plant journeys to all 🌿🌾🌱🍀🌳💞
👆Get your LSD, MDMA, SHROOMS, DMT, KETAMINE, MICRO DOSES and all psychedelic stuff from the above 👆 handle.
Yes you are right. Trees are incredibly loving. I was always overwhelmed by their love. 🥲🥲🥲 If only we pay more attention to them!
Third lung. Wow! Interesting.
We have two brains maybe more, your head brain and stomach area. I'm healing my brain, me and my stomach area, eat poorly because it's cheap and easy!
I'll get it right, I hope! If I had friends like you all, it would be easy, I'm stuck around people who are blind to healing their self. I'm there only light! Isn't that a kick in the pants, me, their only light. 😆😄Help me lord!!!
Emphasize set and setting, especially being around certain people that can completely off balance a particular experience. It's not cool to joke around or play stupid games when a person is in that state of being. I BELIEVE THE "UNIVERSE" shuns that inconsiderate and disrespectful attitude and behavior
❤
Very much loving this interview!… I'm 67 years old and so I've had all sorts of different experiences with cannabis… But right now she's such a good friend… And I talk to the plant herself which happens to be growing somewhere near me… That planted herself there because on my not understanding that if you have a male plant near female plants they produce seeds lol birds and bees and flowers and trees and all that… Anyway now she is a special friend who planted herself in my garden and I use her for all sorts of medicine both topical and internal and she's become a very very good friend… My landlord told me I can't grow her anymore after this year… And we shall see what we shall see… But I've always thought that the plants -All of them are ascended masters that people can do well to learn from if they don't abuse them like they do most everything
Love that connection that your plant lives nearby and inhabits the same environment as you :)
Wow. The first 30 seconds flips every experience I've had with it on its head. It's always induced horrible panic attacks for me that come on immediately. It seems like a lot of people who are into it think they're pharmacists and would tell me it's because of this or that, nothing they would say would make any sense. This is a great explanation and very helpful. Thanks!
I took cannabis or MDMA a lot of times in one summer with the goal of getting over social anxiety and it worked really well! I realized so much in my own approach, attitude, what I say, what I don't say and how the other person reacts and now I'm not afraid to hit up normal conversation while sober, and it was fun!
Same here sir ^^' but with Psylocibin not cannabis, cannabis is not psychedelic enough for that ^^'
Which was it? Cannabis OR MDMA? 🤔 Two completely different substances. This sounds like garbage though and I'm sorry if it's true.
@@SirDydimus86 What is there to be sorry about? They became a better person and became more comfortable with their self and others
I had a co-worker who I would occasionally run into at the clubs. He never liked cannabis, but I could tell he was always on MDMA (or street ecstacy) or maybe GHB. He was just so friendly and warm and cool at the club compared to how he was at work. And that dude was a chick magnet. Henhad threesomes and such all the time. Even his girlfriends brought girls home with him. Maybe I should have done the same instead of smoking myself into a dull shell every time before I went out.
This is the best down to earth discussion. In the 60 years I've been on the journey of mother cannabis I've had the pleasure to watch and connect to.
Check out ( the church of ambrosia) its a cannabis and high dose shroom church
I've been stating this for many years, that anxiety felt, is shadows being revealed once the days disctractions are dissipated and our mind returns to viewing of the self.
I’m going into my junior year of high school and when I was first introduced to cannabis was my sophomore year. For me it started off as something that I did just for fun and as a recreational thing but then when I started buying my own and smoking alone at home it was a completely different experience for me. It started to become a more meaningful experience and it started with it helping me have so much self love for myself and to be so grateful for the things I have. If continued to help me heal and to learn to love myself. Couple months later into the year, I went though a horrible breakup that I thought I wasn’t gonna heal from and it just left me broken. The next day I had considered using cannabis but didn’t think I should have because I felt that then it would become something I was gonna depend on and become a depressant. I decided that if I was going to smoke that I was only going to do it to have fun and try and get my mind off the breakup. Once the cannabis started to kick in, I started to become filled with so much self love again and I started to realize that maybe I could heal and that I just needed to accept that I wasn’t in the wrong and that I needed to be the bigger person and move on. The healing process was so amazing and it started to transition into a spiritual experience when I started to meditate and do things to raise my vibrations while high. It’s helped me to see that there’s so much more to life and to live in the now rather then stress about the future or past. It’s helped me realize that we aren’t our bodies and to have a deeper understanding of who I am as a person and how to grow spiritually. I’m now going into my junior year and currently use cannabis for the spiritual side it has and have the highest respect for it and am truly grateful for the experiences it’s given me. There are days where I do use it too for just recreational purposes since I’m home with a boring family for summer break. Overall, You should have the highest respect for this beautiful plant because the experiences it can bring you can be beautiful.
Remember to smoke safely and responsibly, happy high’s to all the fellow stoners🤍🍃✨
You sound like a spiritually mature teenager. I was somewhat like that in high school and then it got so much trickier to be consciously self aware throughout life's later experiences, and now I'm trying to embody that space again later in life. I hope you continue to grow and heal, and never lose touch with your higher self no matter where your life path takes you.💕
Thank you and I love, keep ballin playa
Safely and responsibly for a teen is an oxymorron.
So u got high is what u are saying?
Holy fuck are you a kid?
I had a beautiful journey with Santa Maria and I learned a lot from her. Especially how to detect my mental patterns and work with them. It also helped to recognize different emotions and I worked with the intensity of them in order to become a merely observer. She is one of my teachers and I wish for everybody to have this profound connection with her, to treat her in a respectful way. Really grateful that this conversations happen more often.
I do that too and have been doing from the beggining. that's what I love about my little mary. It's fun ocasionally to just be a legume and watch comedies, but what literally tickles my brain is the profound intuitions you can have in your emotions + thought patterns. Though I rarely hear people use it in this way. I swear, for me what captivated me about its effects is that besides you being chiller and it cancelling some of the worries bla bla, it seems in my observation that it also enchances CERTAIN (have no idea what) mind capacities. When I started smoking, I drew only as a child. started drawing and in 1 month maximum I did this work of art that for some newb it seemed impossible. But it wasn't impossible, I did it lol. Also used it some times to plan certain things or to watch videos on youtube and learn science or whatever. I swear I feel like my brain switched from regular gas to kerosen. Even though I get tired a lot faster and the energy spent in the thinking process are much larger, the results are also so much more profound and in-depth.
@@RaduP3 I feel you in this experience. Cannabis has certainly demonstrated (to me) its ability to bring upon an experience of complete abandon and of falling into the depth of the present moment.
It's as if it condenses energy inside of us to allow our focus to be concentrated at a higher volume on a specific task. Potentially how you were able to extract so much creative power out of yourself. It might've allowed you to access a natural form of expression you might've not given yourself permission to fall into before.
One recurring experience I have with Cannabis is crafting better ways to love and honor myself, and as a result of that I end up in similar situations where I allow myself to completely dedicate the energy I have on a specific area of life I'm excited about.
I have noticed that it's a challenging wave to surf at times because such intensity brings me to burn through my energy reserves quite fast. I have learned to stay mindful of how much energy I need to trade in order to feed those intense bouts of dedication. Sobriety allows me to execute on a calmer yet smoother level a lot of times, I have found.
@@thepathofplayfulness First of all, damn how good it is to read the message of someone that is properly articulate.
Second, yes, I agree with what you said about going in a place where I didn't give myself permission before. As life continued, that place became familiar and now thank God I allow myself to create from it whenever the need arises, either sober or after I smoked.
It seems that our experiences with it have some common areas from what you said.
@@RaduP3 Thank you haha, I spent a lot of time rewriting some sentences to make it palatable.
I'm happy you've found a way to find that place where you gave yourself permission.
And yes, it's great to hear about someone else with an experience I can relate to. Cannabis seems so unique to everybody that I rarely hear the same feedback.
@@thepathofplayfulness thank you man, and also agreed
Cannabis has been a good friend to me from my early days. Saved me a lot of stress and cleared my mind in the process. I respect all the plants given to us, It's about the relationship you have with everything, so everything loves and respect you back. Love is the light that guide us! Keep the good work, regards from Brazil.

Jesus saves, cannabis just gets you high.
I established myself with Cannabis while hiking in the Grand Canyon around 2012, leaning into that kind of pain while in an incredible setting with only one-two puffs on a joint. -After taking 2 years to restore my back. Sun grown is best. daily user since 2011, 1-2 puffs is still all I do for 8 hours. And its strong. 1g will last me 3 days. I'm also alone for most of those hours. Forest living.
that's really cool to hear, a decade of use and you've kept it to a third of a g a day, sounds like You and Cannabis have a worthwhile and positive connection, Respect
damn you are so lucky you can keep it that way for so much time. I smoke like 1-2 weeks then stop 1-2 weeks, etc. After a 1-2 weeks break I smoke exactly the same as you in the beggining, 1g for 3 days, but the next days it starts to diminish, so I need minimum 1g a day until it starts to have no more effect and I stop.
@@RaduP3 Its all about control. Do it with limits than it will work, but its like with everything. Your body ajusts to it.
Cool.

WOW!!….you guys completely NAILED this stuff, imo. Every minute of that was amazing and useful for me to hear. For so many years now I’ve thought about and wondered about a lot of this stuff, and for the first time ever I hear someone talking about it. I kept wanting to write a comment but eventually realized I would have to comment on every single thing you guys said! This gives me so much hope and help and clarity….and I don’t have a single person in my life I can talk about this stuff with, at least not w/o them thinking I’m whack. I’m super impressed and happy there are people into this stuff.
Thank you!!
I have just started smoking cannabis again after a long 20 year break .
I am now experiencing its amazing medicine in small doses . It’s allows me to sink into ‘Observer’ mode .
This chat is fab!
confirming all that I have been contemplating 👍🏻🙏🏻
I faced my anxiety weed gave me and learned more than i could ever imagine.
SAME. I used to fear pot...
What does that even mean
@@ngonzales3781 my interpretation is that he goes thru the crucible of learning the roots of his anxiety by learning to live thru it and let go, which has to be tough as nails
@@Bethune_Groundstaff I've done upwards of 50 different substances in my life, and many combinations of those and I can confidently say that nothing gives anxiety like pot can. A high dose of THC is well beyond a terrible DMT or LSD trip.
If you take a high enough dose of THC there ain't no "learning to live thru it", you just get crippled, and not just temporarily. True PTSD inducing experience if there ever was one.
It's very important if someone is going to use cannabis or a THC like compound to start low and work their way up to where they feel comfortable.
I've faced the anxiety weed gives me but I do it alone because my anxiety gets 10 times worse smoking with people. One day I would love to enjoy smoking with people.
Did a 7 day cannabis cleanse, then reintroduced on 12/02/2022 and had a two week explosion of revelations, insights, and pure inspiration on a level I can only describe as life changing. After years of heart numbness, I can now face my traumas and bad experiences more clearly and positively that was like a fire hydrant of emotions. The clincher for me was when this first happened, and unbeknownst to my wife, she said for the first time in our relationship that “you look different” but wasn’t certain how(?). I’m so grateful for God’s medicine for spiritual, mental, and physical healing.
7 days? Man take a month and see how it is after
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11 is that considered the time needed to reset one’s cannabinoid receptors?
@@dalerohling5989 after a month sober and sweating thc out my body in the tropics, my first time hitting a bong had me feeling like my first time again. Wasn't even crazy weed either
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11 Sweating, just one of God’s miracles for health. Thanks for sharing brother.😎❤️
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11the cbn in your weed might be medicating your body (sweating) and you don’t even know, cbn is a crazy thing, after a month you really shouldn’t still be getting those withdrawal sweats
Wow. The thumbnail is what got me clicking. Ryan’s eloquence and reverence for the plant is what got my watching. I haven’t touched cannabis in years because it would make me ridiculously self-conscious and anxious. Now I feel more at ease and ready to try it again in the intentional ways described. Thank you.
Do weed by yourself in a safe space. Its INCREDIBLE
Thank you for bringing this topic to the conversation in an intellectual and open minded spiritual way. “Illuminating” indeed
its so refreshing to hear ouid enthusiasts talk abt negative experiences and anxiety, it reminds me that im not the only one who has the feelings arrise while smoking. i feel like i only ever hear from people who only have positive experiences rave on abt it like nothing distressing can happen
I've been a medicine user for most of the 50years of my life. I use Santa Maria (cannabis) as a medicine to open my heart and connect with the sacred. I often feel total love and bliss in the presence of this profound teacher. I have worked through much anxiety and fear with this medicine, and on the other side of these states exists a profound peace and serenity. As a side note I have also used ayahuasca extensively, and after a few years of using ayahuasca in a ritual setting my relationship to cannabis changed from a head experience to a heart experience.
"I've been a medicine user" "in the presence of this profound teacher"
You know just because you take weed and psyches doesn't mean you have to sound cringe, right?
That conversation was so important for me. I've been smoking 4 joints per day. It has made my mood and even work productivity better, but I still feel like it distances myself from some interests and people. I'll try this weekend method, beginning with a "only at night" method, let's start with small steps :) Thanks for all this valuable information and inquires!
If it distances you from certain people or activities there’s usually a reason for me anyway, it just means I’m not aligned with these things and it’s better to do something I am aligned with🙏🏼good luck 🍀
It has only distanced me from judgmental family members that refuse to sit at the same table with me just because I decide to use cannabis.
Literally all these people who I love and feel sad that I can't connect with them, but it's true. They see it in such a blunt way that I can't believe open up to such narrow minded people. Around other cannabis users I'm very sociable and happy, this lets me know I'm not crazy lol
@@warrioroflight801 it distances me from any and every person. I only smoke when I am not going to be interacting with anyone for a few hours.
4 joints a day, that’s called being a burn out.
Man I can’t tell you how much it helps
Gotta treat it like an herb!
Wo! This interview has been so helpful! Cannabis has been my 'sacred medicine' for 20 years, but then I would always fall into the trap of overusing it because it would allow me to feel deeply connected with my authentic self and my creativity, and I would want to keep diving deeper without integrating. Now that I've just learned about Ryan's courses here, I will definitely be seeking further teaching from him. Thank you Aubrey for interviewing such wonderful beings as Ryan and being such a beautiful being yourself.
Psylicibin and cannabis are the reasons I deal with the symptoms of what is called Borderline personality disorder. I recently found myself in the midst of ego death. The experiences I have had, have allowed me to cope with the depression by getting into the emotions I have locked away for many years or even things I have felt when a teenager. I have been able to confront the feelings I have not been able to deal with. Medatation is also important and learn from the emotions and experience while not sober.
what kind of meditation?
@@Christian-kg4jd you have to find what works for you. I usually use a sensory deprivation tank to meditate, listening to idoser also helps with meditation as well.
I think exactly the same way. Most people who think they are psychotic when smoking weed are actually having an intense psychedelic experience. It's just your unprocessed thoughts without a suppressing filter mechanism.
Yeah and that comes from smoking your feelings away. Dont believe these woke weirdos who promote drugs. I smoke weed over 10 years to.
Even the fear, anxiety and racing thoughts? It’s all there just kinda flows out like you say “unfiltered “
I hope you never witness a person that is having a psychotic episode from weed. There are also phyisically hemodynamic changes in their bodies. Don't talk out of arse pls
@@johnm2089you’re referencing the tiny minority. So stop chatting out your ass in a video targeted to general users.
Nah fck that, heavily smoking weed, esp if your younger, is a dumb idea, I did it, and I don't think it benefited me at all, I think it was the opposite, pyscedelics is the only "drug" that actually helped me longterm, cannibis didn't imo
I’m glad to call Ryan Sprague a dear friend, he’s a great soul with a passion for helping people in life!
@RAWPAPERSONLY Who’s a scam?
What UA-cam rabbit hole did you just come from 🤣
What’s his Instagram? I couldn’t locate it?
What’s his Instagram please?
Cannabis induced mind states had help me realize that cannabis was not a drug that i should take on a daily basis (for me). And helped me get out of the addiction of thc. Now i just use it once a month or less. I'm really grateful for every thc induced mind state that i could be in.
Finally! Someone is talking about paranoia on pot. Also it would great if they made super light THC strains just to be able to use it more just to grind the edges of life off. All these high strains are ridiculous.
Oh they do make strains with very high cbd, low thc, which I like a lot to take the edge off. Search around, I even love many strains of cbd flower, very little or no thc. Good luck on your quest, its worth it!!🤗
Was going to say something along those lines. There's plenty of cannabis flower out there with low THC levels. Seems those with lower T levels come with higher CBD levels.
I will say this though, if you live in a state where it isn't medically or recreationally legal, it's difficult to find what you're looking for and you're always at the mercy of your dealer.
Before Med and Rec I would go through a couple dealers a year because they always supply with stuff that wasn't helping with pain.
They often take it personally
@@kathygildea2025 I am in a med state and the high CBd and low thc sell out like hot cakes.
Everything you ever wanted to know about the Cannabis experience is in the first 30 seconds of this video. Bravo 🎉
Such a timely video for me. Thank you! I’ve been meditating with cannabis for a for years now. I really appreciate the tips on how to connect with the medicine when you don’t know where/how it was grown. And I REALLY loved Aubrey’s comments about the various perspectives of God!
Cannabis is the mother that speaks to us a whole lifetime. I've been listening for over fifty years. My first experience with LSD was back in 1971 at 16ys old. My life's trajectory changed that day.
Both of you are enlightning. You speak truth.
Yeah your just addicted for 50 years. Speaking of a drug as mother is just disgusting
@@ts1994-b9j your accusation reflects the duality of a Satanic/egoic mindset
@@ts1994-b9j and for the record, ANYTHING pertaining to "matter/material" pertains to the mother. The words "matter" and "material" are derived from the Latin "matér" meaning "mother," because "matter" is the feminine vibration of existence.
Man you guys lol. "Cannabis is the mother" no. . . it's a plant. It's here for certain purposes, when people abuse it, often times it leads to depersonalization disorder and anxiety/panic disorder. Seek Christ, lay your problems on Him, He cares for you.
The beauty and benefits of the sacred cannabis plant are endless. Thank you for this enlightening interview. ♥️
One of the best things, is how the herb brings people together, regardless of age or any minute differences.
As a person who is bipolar I have never had a negative experience with cannabis or any other psychedelic. The higher the dose the better I feel. It just makes me feel “normal” it gets rid of my anxiety and depression and it gives me a hopeful and positive outlook on life.
Everyone's different. I get panic attacks if I take too much. If I take the right amount I feel good though
How my BF is too that has bipolar
Ryan Sprague is a true gem of a man..may he be blessed on his path
Glad to hear others say how challenging, a challenging THC experience can be. I took a long tolerance break and then jumped back in with a 100mg/ml oil I made and knew very early on it was going to be rough... I have had profoundly 'strong' mushroom and Lucy experiences that were not remotely as challenging as some of my THC experiences... But it's just weed...
Reach out to 👆👆 he got all sort of psychedelics, shrooms, infused chocolate bars🍫🍫 and a nice page too.
THC has provided harder trips for me than anything else, as far as headspace goes. Walking down the street after a joint feels far stranger to me than flying through fractal landscapes in a k-hole.
SAME
@@AcrylicGoblin When the ordinary starts to seem bizarre, alien, or even 'fake', that's called derealization. It's almost always mixed with a deep sense of uneasiness, like something bad is about to happen. Most people don't realize that anxiety makes you feel 'strange' as you say or even crazy, which is why it's a legitimate psychiatric disorder.
@@jack11100 BRO! OMG bro, weed is like, real trippy for me bro.
I have multiple sclerosis and I’m grateful for this plant
It can have a lot of benefits for people suffering with different ailments, but the people who want to use it to get high, and think it's some savior in their life are in for a hard let down in due time.
Swami Chaitanya has been implementing bio geometry in his garden for years on his farm in Northern California. You can look him up here on youtube where he speaks about it and shares his farm and growing techniques.
Also, as a cannabis grower myself, I learn much more from this plant by growing it and being with it than consuming it. By far! It is quite an experience cultivating this plant, especially when flower time comes around. The smells and sights in flowering of this plant are something very special to experience.
Did you find out what strains Ryan is growing? Is it like 1:1 THC:CBD strains?
Thank you both for this, truly grateful I listened to this exact podcast today, on the day of my fathers passing.
Luckily for both of us, we shared a moment of true connection with the help of cannabis before he died. That was 9 years ago, my late 30’s was my first time feeling it’s magic.
Prior to catching my father light up, that one incredible night, after putting my kids to bed, I’d only smoked ONE handful of times in highschool, didn’t get anything out of it, coincidently in Austin where I grew up:)
Fast forward, now single, living in Mexico, and alone for the first time, completely alone. Now with wifi, and podcasts like yours, (my check point Charlie,) I look back over these years, since started smoking pot.
Having never been around people who consumed substances before, I’m just now learning about life haha, hearing what it is like for others, how they feel it in their body.
Aubrey, yes, the breathing, the body work, kinetic sensation everything is new for me. Lost over 40kilos after the discovery of how great life actually is, with the help of some plant friends.
I’m always saying, as a kid, they put me in a corral and threw some horses in it. Ever wonder what would happen if you gave a horse a psychedelic?
That’s me, no idea, unsuspecting. Except Ayahuasca, all were taken home alone, with no prior googling. Reason being, never wanting to create and expectation. Some fucking un believable shit went down, started writing about it, no witnesses.
Went all in with the studies, never paid much attention in school. Thank to the Univ. of UA-cam, I now believe I may have an equivalent to a Ph.D in Psychedelic studies, and Neuroscience.
Thanks to you guys, I’m now understanding the cycles, one goes through when smoking Cannabis. Going through a really rocky bottom patch in my life now, after having been operated on a broken clavicle twice in a month, shit hit the fan fast. Unable to ride, move, rendered me into a downward spiral.
Right now, I’m feeling like that friend, wants to be a rock star, sitting here, millions of ideas (by which came to me via plant meds), life changing, incredible things, all inside a guitar case, in my case, back in the Corral one again, and it ain’t ok with me anymore.
Psychedelics created so much, showed me what’s possible. Heard these Terence McKenna recordings before, about taking in the lessons and hanging up the phone.
Succeed in applying them before the fall. The pain made me dependent, paranoid, with dire thoughts. Love this lesson you guys gave me, I’ll only be smoking when NECESSARY, and or weekends like Ryan.
To me, learning that moderation is literally the key to handling anything that could be abused has helped me understand the bright side and potential medical properties in cannabis. Experiencing the couch lock phase with cannabis is the sign you have taken too strong of a strain or too much of it. Terrence figured that out and used these substances, quite frankly imo to grow mentally and who knows... Maybe even raise some IQ points. Cannabis and certain hallucinogens taken in moderation in the right mind frame really is a beneficial tool, it helps promote abstract thought, creativity and for me personally it has helped with empathy and putting myself in other peopleS shoes in order to understand their perspective.
Okay so, Ive been going through a blurry and (realitivly) unhealthy phase in my life. Im here in a cabin in the woods away from the city trying to get some R&R and reset.
Im sitting here smoking some cannibis and relaxing with some mushrooms thinking about my life and then all of a sudden, UA-cam started playing this episode.
This podcast and these two were completely new to me.
Ive been a HEAVY pot smoker for years and years and after 30 minutes of listening to these two talk, I Learned so much about using cannabis that I started looking at my life completely differently. This episode really woke me up to how much im abusing the plant and myself;
by the grace of god, the universe is taking care of me by introducing me to these two in this video right when I needed it the most.
Thank you, Aubrey Marcus.
Years ago I would get high and listen to Pandora, which typically plays music that it has played before. Quite often when I was high, and I know there is a relation here, beyond doubt, Pandora would play new stuff, often amazing music. So the youtube video coming on was not an accident for you. Actually this one time I was not high but it was during a time when I did get high (so I still had it in my system), I remember being alone in my apartment and choosing among several books on a table to pick up. A couple minutes later Pandora played a song I had never heard, which had the title of the book in the chorus. I was amazed, and remarked out loud that I could not think of any other books I had which this could be possible with. The very next song that came on was called "Shaman Fever" and one of the other books on the table was "Way of the Shaman". The music was spooky as it came on and gave me chills, you can find on youtube if you want to give a listen (Shiva in exile). That was a trippy experience, one of the first "synchronicities" I had that was so blatant and in my face that I could not ignore. The first book was the Bhagavad Gita. Anyway wishing you a great day and peaceful journey, hope great videos and music come into your life!
@@johns7530 there’s no such thing as a coincidence! Much love thanks for the reply. That’s wild! All those books are great reads by the way I can tell you’re on a good path 🙏
Maby geting off drugs, social media and believing the universe is sending you YT videos will help your state of mind.
Synchronicities are pointing you in the right direction. 👍
@@afterthestorm221 Synchronicities in this case referring to being hammered out of ones brain on hallucinogens and in a highly suggestible state rather than explaining improbable coincidence. Guess the term is interchangeable.
Excited to tune into this pod, big fans of Ryan Sprague over here. Thanks Aubrey for this interview 🌿
This is crazy to watch because it’s very close to the way I figured out how to break my cannabis anxiety. Was a daily smoker for years, then in my early/mid 20s anxiety set in. Bad. 50% of the time I’d smoke I’d have some level of anxiety, sometimes a full blown attack. Then one time during a panic attack I realized “on some level I wanted this” and it brought me out of it and quite quickly. From then on, whenever the anxiety came I would just tell myself again “on some level I wanted this” really feeling those words and the truth behind them. Hasn’t failed me yet, and it’s enriched the overall experience in a big way. The other game changer for me is to use strains that have at least some cbd in them, or blend it with a cbd strain (say 80/20ish of flower to cbd flower). It really helps smooth out the rough edges. Thanks for the great content
This is incredibly interesting due to the obvious experience and profound insights of you both. Seriously this answers questions I didn’t know how to ask. This is my third or fourth viewing and that has been my experience each time! Isn’t that cool? Thank you friends. 🙏🏻
I am so blessed for having this video pop up on my notifications

I resonate with this podcast so much. Every single thing in this podcast I’ve experienced personally. The mindset. The use of these tools, the battle with anxiety and overuse, cultivating the medicine myself. I don’t smoke anything from the dispo anymore it’s all my own home grown. there’s a spiritual connection between it. I do the same with other psychedelics as well. I even talk to my plants!! 🌱 tell them they are doing great. Positive reinforcement and energy. Everyone who has tried my cannabis has said it’s the best. Gentle and really low on the anxiety. Even people who have told me they didn’t like cannabis when they went to the dispensary. This is what happens when business me turn something spiritual into a profit. Grow your own. Stop smoking lab grown no love cannabis as much as you can.
Great topic!
Treating cannabis as a tool of self discovery in my recovery from opioid dependence and short term pharmaceutical remedies has opened a window inside.
30 years ago I was an injured athlete that became suicidal. In my ignorance I chose death by “weed”. Once I began to indulge I began to hear my spirit guides convince me my life without athletics is possible. Cannabis didn’t take my pain away yet allowed me to live with the pain. Now, It’s surreal to see all the dispensaries almost on every block yet I’m very grateful I don’t have to get my medicine like I used to.
Fair play brother✌️

I am now a new follower of both of you due to this! This by far is the best ever information ever given by anyone on cannabis! I love it! I've been on cannabis over 40yrs now! At 1st for fun, second for therapeutic needs and lastly as a spiritual opening to the world of our mind and control of our bodies!!! Cannabis by far is the best!
After watching this pod I'm never getting stoned again. From now on I "interact with cannabis"
Great podcast, It was so helpful to better understand my " paranoia" with pot. I do believe it is a mirror into myself and what is happening internally. Thanks so much!
Me too
One of the best shows on anything I've experienced this year! Thanks guys ❤
Thank you for reinforcing the message I've been receiving from her. Which was to step away until I can come back with the respect she deserves. Great chat as always and so grateful for the wisdom shared 🖖🌲💪
Great podcast! Have found my way home using cannabis with intention, now we grow our own in our home, love infused, sacred medicine. Grateful that you are putting this vital and world changing info about the plant out there 🌿💚💚💚
I am looking forward to inoculating my seeds with my own saliva and growing my weed. Happy for you that you get to do it.
My dad died 3 years ago, lost my family, lost my business. Nearly was on the streets. Right on the edge of ending my life but smoking cannabis has stopped that. Been a long ass ride, deep dark black hole but I'm still here and still stomping through this sickness I have no clue about but I'm here that's the main thing thanks to cannabis and my two dogs and all the podcasts out there. There ain't no other help we just get told to phone 100 different people go round in circles and make you more sick. Can't trust real life we all got to come to UA-cam. It's joke but that's all we got.
hey you are going to be ok. You are healing more every day.
@@lisamurry4512 thanks Lisa I hope so ❤️
Yes! So glad this is talked about as a shaman like tool, a way to delve into yourself instead of just getting high.
Post breast cancer thriver cuz of adding cannabis to my health care & spiritual journey. 🌀
Yes ! And congrats! I got off all my post cancer pharmaceutical medications with cannabis and CBD and never felt better💚 best of luck to you ✨
I love that Aubrey will acknowledge the risk of these substances without throwing in the "don't try this at home" disclaimer. So many other youtubers will share their wonderful experiences but then say "I never recommend that anyone else try this." I feel like that kind of sends mixed messages and almost comes across like they're better than you. Aubrey seems to acknowledge that we're all adults and we can find our own way and make our own mistakes because in the end that's where the real growth is.
I never take the disclaimers that way, because I understand that they say that shit to keep from getting sued, or having their videos banned. I did not know that some took your viewpoint though. Interesting.
@@armadasinterceptor2955 that's true, and it is a shame that they have to worry about getting banned. I suppose it did come across a little harsh towards other youtubers but mostly I just meant it as a compliment towards Aubrey
Breathwork is the master key to all of these experiences. Plant medicine isn’t necessary for those that are truly illuminated. The plants have their place, but in the end it’s all about the individual.
Yes!!!! It helps me with awareness & brings me to the observer position as well.
Shadowwork comes much quicker/ clearer & smoother realization/release.🐛🦋🐍
Thank 💚 You🙏
Soooo beautifully explained🤩🙏💚
No matter what you consume, praying over it first can help so much
Bros, this episode is pure medicine for me. I'm a cannabis user for 14 years and I've never heard such a great teaching about this plant, like in this interview.
Thank you so much, this is so needed for this world!
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin
Could you send me some information about this? Couldn't find some online
Thanks for the hint brother
@FabioDaSilva-pi2fl
Heavy breath work whilst super stoned - Cannahuasca...my body exploded into pure and electrifying vibration....not expecting it was REALLY REALLY FRIGHTENING Hahaha but it was eye opening for sure. Thank you Aubrey 👊
Remember if you intake a lot of caffeine, pot can amplify the caffeine effect so you go on an anxiety rollercoaster that can even linger for days afterwards
Word? I felt like I could handle but I feel like being addicted to such a nice feeling is bad for me. I didn’t want to mix it with caffeine but I still did. A cup of caffeine is a lot for me
Same love the boost of caffeine but it's super addictive and I enjoy life without craving it more, look into improving your sleep and diet, you won't need to reach for the artificial energy boost when youre full of energy for life 😄 so worth it I promise
yes that is why i stop with coffe😊
Wow I had drank a bunch of coffee quickly at my last job and hit my weed pen and I freaked the hell out thinking I would die and legit almost did and since then it's been rocky to smoke
I had scoured reddit, the internet, etc. for this... Seems like most people out there use cannabis to "get high", but a recent experience of mine was incredible - I was at a mall and my anxiety was just going haywire... But being able to see the anxiety SO boldly and clearly also offered me the opportunity to let go of it. I realized.... this is not the drug... This is how my internal state *really* is all of the time.... I am an anxious wreck! I felt wonderful for days after the experience. I now use it mainly for introspection and self-healing. Awesome video
I think the human instinct toward shamanism will not be repressed even in modern society
Lay all of that on the Lord. Try it some time.
Cannabis saved my life
Wonderful interview. I am a 70 year old that smoked pot every day from 1967 to 1979. I then quit cuz I became a strict vegan and refused to put smoke into my lungs. I have also taken mushrooms and many does of the best sunshine LSD. I just ordered some edibles to get back into woking on myself. I will try to connect with Ryan.
love to hear it! we’re all on a life-long journey of betterment and discovery💚 love from Nevada
I was a heavy smoker for years and i had two times that i hit a wall and had extreme anxiety when imbibing any weed at all. My friend explained to me to just keep trying it with smaller doses and i got over the extreme reaction just fine. Ive had bad trips too but now i know how to sit with it and respect the substance and what its trying to show me. I still smoke but im not using it to cover up my issues, instead i use it to explore my issues and change my behavior for the better. Currently still using it to help me quit drinking daily.
1:00:20 “it’s really the energy behind how you’re doing it that makes it the relationship that it is”
20 years ago i never heard of anxiety associated with cannabis.
Conversation around things tend to be stifled when idiots let other idiots control and prohibit things.
I think the space is the most important when doing cannabis. It doesn’t really matter what medicine or who grows it as long as is pure. It’s your perspective on what it brings up.

The part about weed showing you what's already inside you is so true. When I first started smoking it, Holy christ the anxiety gave me full on panic attacks. I was in a scary, toxic relationship too, so it brought all that to the forefront. I thought it was the weed. Now that I'm out of that situation and away from the particular person, weed just brings out the empathetic side in me. The side that sees how most arguments and squabbles are a waste of time, and that we should just be kind to each other.
Do you believe in Christ? If not why use His Holy name to swear? Do you use Allah to swear? Krishna? Think about it. . . why do they constantly use His name in vain in every Hellywood movie you ever seen?
Best thing you can do is ditch the dope, i smoked it for over 20 years. I STILL fall back into it now and then, and every time it ends the same. With depersonalization and panic attacks.
Seek the Lord, put His Spirit into the void in your life, because you're SELF MEDICATING out of a need, a need most people do not understand and do not want to understand. We were MADE to worship our creator. If we do not do that, we find anything else to fill that void.
thank you for sharing this ... my mind is blown by how much you two have brought out the true medicine spirit out of this. i am not much of a partaker with marijuana often .... like maybe once a year now , as i was a multi smoker daily in my younger years . you two really illustrated true relationship one can have with her.
she is the idea maker and she will give you a goal but its up to you and source to fulfill it.
I'd love to hear Wiz or Snoop talk about their cannabis experience with this level of awareness
Yall I need to tell you that these guys know what they are talking about 100%. I used to have anxiety attacks when smoking weed and I had them so bad that I had depersonalization for a while. I didn't smoke weed for along time after that but then one day I said fuck it, I wanna try it again and face my anxiety and see what weed could actually do for me. I got really high and thought I was never going to come down but I tuned in with it and I really enjoyed it. I started smoking weed just to get high and didnt stop for a couple long years and then it finally did something for me. I started getting really depressed every time that I smoked and I soon realized that it was because weed made me think alot and I was getting really deep into my head and it helped show me what was missing in my life. I realized I was depressed because at this time in my life I didnt really know who I was or where I was going and this was around the time that I dropped out of highschool. I started thinking of how to change my life around and I made a plan all while stoned and it worked and I am now in college where I thought I would never be with a job that pays good and opportunity I thought I would never see. I am also in a far better mindset now and I understand what my purpose is and why I am on this earth. I only smoke weed occasionally now and I also mix it with other herbs because that can also help with different effects and I also believe that god gave us all of this medicine for a reason and there is no reason to single them all out for just weed. I only really smoke weed now when I feel that I need to get really deep in my head about something or just have a really good spiritual time with myself. The reason why I dont smoke weed as much now it because it does mess with my ability to retain information for about 2 weeks after and I study alot but that is the only bad thing i have to say about weed though other than that I think it can help change the world if used properly.
I relate to your opinion a lot. Loved reading your story💞
It's the thoughts that are the healing property. Well said.
The growth environment and what the plants are exposed to while growing is something that I have always felt had an impact on the Cannabis and its overall effects. Not to mention all the chemicals most use to get the biggest, stickiest, most potent or whatever the individual growers goal is.
For me naturally organically grown is ideal and then what can I learn from the experience exchange. Thank you so much for this video.
I used to smoke it and since i am an introvert and i like to be alone most of the time, i always smoked it during late in the evening and while watching a movie or documentary, and at first i didn't understand what it does, but then i understood it doesn't affect everyone the same too. For me as i always struggled with clarity and focus it gave me exactly that. Whatever i did while high i understood it and examine it at a such deep level and i was able to see the full picture and even the small details that after the "high" was gone i couldn't even remember everything i seen or understood. I literally gave me a super power, but the negative impact was it only lasted as long as i was high. I could understand even the mecanics of the universe.
And since when i started to smoke it my life was a mess and i struggled with alot of anxiety it helped me alot to understand my fears, my problems, and not just, it gave me the calm necesary to actually find solutions for them. Problem is cannabis has alot of negative impacts especially if you consume it everyday. And one of them is when you are not high you feel like even the smallest thing annoys the fk out of you, you lose patince for everything.
One day after a very hard break up with someone for me, i tought i saw this person with someone else. This break up destroied me, my inner self and everything i ever belived in, it shattered my indentity and everything i am really. And even today i am not sure if the person i saw was her or was just my mind. I came home, and in desperate seek to clear my mind i light a joint and played a videogame, maybe i was so stressed i smoked too much too fast i can't remember but i suddently started to feel like i can't breath anymore. I felt like i am drowning. I started to hyperventilate up to the point where i could not even open my eyes. I got to the hospital and they callked me a junky threw me in the hallway while i was begging for a glass of water, i actually developed PTSD from that experience, i can't stand in traffic or crowd places, go malls and stuff like that.
And i tought is the cannabis... But just as they said, this plant just exposed and amplified whatever was already inside of me. Since that day, i am literally building bit by bit a new person, i have to rediscover who i am and reprogram my brain. Not like i have a choice, i have to.
To me cannabis was always an amplifier of what i already am. Call it psychedelic, call it drug whatever. But this is what i think this plant really do.
But the problem no one talks about is, that if you allowed yourself to consume it everyday, in huge amounts, is no longer going to serve you good. As someone said, even water if you dring too much you drown.
Also, while i was high, altough my brain was super focused and like amplified. My body was a vegetable. So in other words while it gives you great inspirations and imagination, it takes away your motivation to actually do those things. It keeps you in same place forever. It makes you addicted. I would say cannabis is only for one per week to consume only and when you do try to approach important matters. Don't use it to play videogames or relax at parties. Use it as medicine. I used it as a drug and it costed me 2 years of my life and maybe more, i don't know how much will it take to build a new identity of me, confident to move on with life. Cannabis it can help your life, or destroy it. The choice is yours.
True
Just want you to know I cared enough to read your comment in its entirety. The universe is a worse place without you in it ✊🏽
Hmmm interesting perspectives on the anxiety induced from cannabis. I’ve studied plant medicine as well as plant spirit medicine. The message that I’ve received when the overwhelming feeling of paranoia and fear that come on through cannabis is that I am tapping into the collective consciousness and I’m experiencing the collective fear and paranoia. When the plant spirit is connecting me to these emotions, they do not feel like my own, I don’t go through my day having thoughts like that, only on cannabis. For me, it’s trying to help me develop empathy for the collective.
Interesting. I realized when I get high I say we have do this or that instead of I got to
Or it might be that your tolerance increased 😉
@@youngchap4941 I noticed that too. I feel like the "distance" between "thoughts" is so short and my consciousness links them faster and that's where the "we" is coming from. it's like the previous part of me with its content is communicating with the current (next one of the previous) one and they "talk" as parts between one another. I think it has something to do with dissasociation as the only time I noticed talking to myself in we while sober is when I am severely disassociated. while dissassociated, the psyche splits into multiple parts ( I saw inside me many active at the same time, up to let's say 4 or 5) and depending what caused the split, these parts are gravitating in circles around their "points of information" that created the dissasociation. (damn i hate to write this word in english) and if theoretically you would add these parts together in a way inside you by accepting them in their "apparent individuality" they get integrated in the psyche and body and with several new cycles (like a computer you know) the integration in continously more complex functions is achieved so you reach the "observator" state automatically since that's what integration is.
@@RaduP3 had to read that a few times to fully digest it. Srry I don't think I'll be able to articulate then write what you said but I get the jist of it. I don't have bad paranoia when doing a high dose but my anxiety I have will be a point of focus allot of times because I get so high I don't function like I normally would so that brings me away from the observator state. I have learned allot from weed and now know more of it's potential but I feel like I'm not fully connected to my heart to be receptive to what ever I learn I can't get emotionaly behind things like I should. I wanna do some mushrooms soon it's more in your face I guess and kinda forces and helps in that aspect then I can imagine what more I'll learn from weed.
@@youngchap4941 yes, I see what you mean with feeling like you remain emotionally behind. Don't forget to be gentle and to not force things for the purpose of knowledge because that "cuts" the body in many pieces. Be gentle and allow the story to unfold by itself. knowledge is a by product and love in the continuation of the circle of the real self is the only constant. take care brother.
I’ve had to take a break because of my daily abuse of it. When I first started smoking, I didn’t do it daily and only small amounts. I need to go back to doing it the right way
