Publisher's summary

• Explains how cannabis can be used to treat trauma and emotional pain, as a profound problem-solving tool, and as a potent catalyst for self-transformation and ongoing healing work

Despite the recent resurgence of interest in the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, Cannabis sativa as a psychedelic therapy has been completely overlooked. Yet, as psychedelic specialist Daniel McQueen reveals, when used skillfully and with intention, cannabis can be used to treat trauma and other mental health concerns just as psilocybin mushrooms and MDMA can. It can also be used as a problem-solving tool and as a potent catalyst for self-actualization and ongoing healing work.

Presenting a step-by-step guide, McQueen explores how to transform cannabis into a reliable and safe psychedelic medicine. Drawing on his years of experience working with clients to release traumas and emotional pain and step into their full potential, he explains the importance of proper dose, set, setting, and intention and details how to prepare for your psychedelic cannabis sessions to ensure success. He shares methods to use cannabis in a specialized and mindful way to minimize unwanted effects, such as intensified anxiety and paranoia, and direct the experience to produce vivid psychedelic states, deep physical relaxation, and healing.

Looking at the unique qualities of different cannabis strains, the author explores the art of making a psychedelic cannabis blend, the possibilities and hidden potentials of each strain, and how to blend strains for specific medicine experiences, ranging in similarity to MDMA, psilocybin, and even ayahuasca.

Unveiling new depth to this ancient spiritual and medicinal ally, McQueen shows how consciously using cannabis as a psychedelic can help transform your trauma into resilience and shift your mindset from surviving to thriving.

Critic reviews

“Is a highly reliable botanical psychedelic legally available throughout most of the US? The answer is a resounding ‘yes,’ and the details of that answer reside in this book. As with many discoveries in this field, it began with McQueen’s serendipitous discovery of how, with the proper dose, intention, set, and setting, marijuana can produce the same psychedelic effects that occur with ‘classical’ compounds like DMT and psilocybin. This book provides guidance every step of the way: personal preparation, selection of cannabis strains, methods for ‘getting enough,’ managing the experience, and integration. Most highly recommended!” (Rick Strassman, MD, author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule)

“Daniel McQueen, the founder of the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness, is a pioneer in the therapeutic uses of cannabis as a psychedelic. Although we don’t usually think of the cannabis plant as a transformational psychedelic, Daniel shares information that shows it to be just as profound and therapeutically effective as ‘classical’ psychedelics, such as psilocybin. Readers will find much wisdom and good information in this book.” (Dennis McKenna, PhD, ethnopharmacologist and coauthor of The Invisible Landscape)

“Daniel and his much-needed Medicinal Mindfulness program use cannabis to heighten emotional and spiritual healing and awakening to provide an urgently needed user-support system. Cannabis nurtures honesty, insight, peace of mind, and emotional healing, and Psychedelic Cannabis provides expert professional guidance in encouraging these uplifting experiences while high.” (John Selby, author of Cannabis for Couples)

Repetitive

Large parts of the book are very repetitive. The first part of the book was difficult to get through, but the section about usage and the therapeutic process has some good points

Very good listen, little skeptical on the practice

I was super excited to listen to this one. Psychedelics have peaked my interest for at least the last 10 years and being almost 40 and finally getting into regular psilocybin and other psychedelic use I was really excited to find out how to transform cannabis into a “psychedelic”. I was hoping for a little more than just blend different strains. As an avid smoker it’s something I do daily and never experience anything close to psychedelic. But with that said, the practices for mindfulness and breathing techniques do transfer over to other psychs. So all in all, great listen.

The world needs this book!

Thanks to this book I have entered into a new understanding of cannabis and it’s potential.

Thank you! Beautifully narrated. 😊

I have had two, profound and very cathartic healing experiences with Cannabis. Were they psychedelic in nature? In both five-hour sessions that I had with the author in Boulder, CO, I was able to finally let go of deep, unresolved trauma - and better understand the toxicity, anger and resentment that once followed me everywhere like an albatross. I have since become a huge advocate of incorporating cannabis as a natural, sacred and medicinal agent for healing and personal transformation. It works.

The book was very well narrated. Thank you!

not worth a credit

badly written and read. repetitive to fill pages. psudo science bore. summary is that you mix different strains by their effect to affect trip. offset to bring into balance. whole book could have been 2 pages.

Great Fictional Story!

At one point the author had mention he was the only person exploring cannabis as a psychedelic substance. I believe that is because no one else believes cannabis to be a psychedelic in the classic sense.

Tell me, what is the chemical composition which distinguishes Indica from sativa? Do you believe the cross breeding to produce high THC plants never mixed indica and sativa plants thus maintaining the purity of each?

Has anyone had a true psychedelic experience from cannabis??
