FAQ

More questions than those addressed here? Let’s connect.

  • Cannabis is a classic psychedelic, producing profound somatic activation and clearing as well as the powerful default-mode-network shifts that other psychedelics do, while at the same time remaining the safest psychedelic medicine available. Still, some folks equate Psychedelic Cannabis trips with eating too many edibles and having a panic attack, and/or tripping really, really hard. This common experience exemplifies that even if it was a “bad trip,” it was a “trip” nonetheless. As with all of the other psychedelics, set (your mindset), setting (the physical location you’ve chosen for your journey) and skill (the facilitator’s training) are paramount. Cannabis is a shapeshifter medicine, capable of producing Ayahuasca and DMT-level experiences, as well as gentle, mild, somatic releases of deeply held tension.   

  • Nope, I’m sorry…at present, due to the legal status of psychedelic medicines, I only work with Cannabis while in MN. I am certain that this will change in the very near future, and has already begun to change in certain areas of the country. I’ll be first on board to offer additional medicines when they become legally available. In the meantime, I’ve found it’s possible to successfully address the reasons many people are interested in MDMA, Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, and 5-MeO-DMT with Psychedelic Cannabis, as the effects can often be strongly similar.

    Plus, I’ve come to deeply appreciate working with Cannabis, and this unique plant’s many beautiful offerings. I’d love to share them with you.

  • Let’s discuss! Tell me more about how Cannabis makes you feel and about the context of your use. Usually, when people have negative experiences with Cannabis, it’s because they’re used to smoking it, or consuming edibles recreationally, often in uncontrolled group settings, which can elicit many negative side effects depending on the user’s state of mind. With Cannabis, as with all psychedelics, SET (the user’s mindset), SETTING (the physical location where the medicine is consumed) and SKILL (the guide’s training and skillset) is of critical importance in having the type of transformative experience sought. We can explore any specific concerns together fully before you decide to journey.

  • Always check your local laws before deciding to participate. In most U.S. states, the consumption of Cannabis and its possession is legal and well regulated. In some areas, use is restricted to medical card holders. You are responsible for complying with all of the laws in your area, as they apply to you personally.

    The use of cannabis is an optional, but integral, component of my service, you’ll need to obtain and bring your own medicine, we will enter into no financial transactions related to the medicine in any way. Less than 1 gram is usually required, which is far less than the legal private consumption limit in all states in which recreational Cannabis is legal.

    Sessions and events where Cannabis is consumed are private, invitation only, and comply with all applicable laws. Participants understand that some state supreme courts have ruled that employers have the right to fire employees for Cannabis use, even if used responsibly and in off hours, and participants assume all risks associated with this as well.

  • I adhere to strict confidentiality policies in my work. All information provided to me, written and verbal, as well as your identity, will remain confidential, except when exclusions are required by law, such as if there is intent to hurt oneself or another, or child or elder abuse is occurring.

    While I require that all participants in group events agree to keep the experience and identity of other participants confidential, I am not in control of individual participants after they leave, therefore I cannot make any guarantees of confidentiality surrounding group events.

    Participants who have strong confidentiality requirements are encouraged to schedule individual sessions or sponsor a group with only trusted friends and allies.

  • Depending on where you live, we can work together either in person, or online. My private office space allows vaped and ingested Psychedelic Cannabis consumption for therapeutic purposes. Events are held at a private, cannabis-friendly retreat locations. I can also facilitate outdoor cannabis sessions on a private space that is set up for this purpose.

    Personal spaces, homes and outdoor locations must be pre-approved, private, clean, and comfortable.

    Participants are not allowed to drive after their experience until the following day. An app-based ride/shuttle/taxi service or pre-arranged designated driver is required for all participants.

  • Though I am an advocate for intentional and safe psychedelic medicine use, I do not encourage any illegal activities nor the abuse of Cannabis or any other medicine. I do not believe that Cannabis or other psychedelic medicines, even within the confines of applicable laws, are appropriate or beneficial for everyone. My advocacy of psychedelics is conditional: the right mindset, an intentional setting, and a qualified guide greatly minimize, but do not eliminate the risks involved in using these powerful medicines.
