All things cannabis, the womb and the imagination.

Taurus Season, New Moon... and 420!

April 19, 2023

Today is the 20th April, a significant day in the cannabis world - 420 is globally symbolic for celebrating everything cannabis. It’s also a powerful new moon and the beginning of Taurus season all falling on the one day! So I guess my way to celebrate all of this is to write about the topic that I...

June 12, 2023

I don’t know if Rick Rubin has a relationship with cannabis so I hope he doesn’t mind me incorporating his quotes into what it is that cannabis teaches me. Thank you @rickrubin for your wisdom! 🙏 Before cannabis, I didn’t want to think anymore. Thinking felt bad within the body and it was like I w...

June 12, 2023

Cannabis introduced me to safety in relaxation, imagination, rediscovery, and exploration. And to trust in the time that it was taking in unlearning and relearning. This was the most productive work I could do. I had to let go of what felt like a big chunk of brain functioning which I had believed...

June 12, 2023

When I smoke cannabis, I drop into the presence of a seriously brilliant teacher. 🙏🌱 About 12 months after cannabis came into my life, we started travelling Australia in our van, spending four years on the road…the equivalent of a uni degree, only cannabis was my professor 😁🌱 It felt good to s...

June 12, 2023

Ten years ago, if anyone were to tell me that cannabis inspired writing was in my future, I would’ve thought they were crazy. I wasn’t attuned to my children. I was married but not really connected. I lived completely outside of myself and was looking externally for some kind of validation whic...

June 12, 2023

Cannabis connects us to the inner child. The painful parts, but also the innocent, fun, joyful parts. Who we are without a lifetime of beliefs constructed from fear. And it’s contradictory. Because the fear is still there, and being present with it is really fucking uncomfortable, but shifting int...

June 12, 2023

Inhale hundreds of thousands of years of wisdom. Exhale and remember. Who we really are…including our ego. Sometimes I think it’s this beast, making me a bad human. Cannabis teaches me unconditional love for all of me including my ego. And takes me just that little bit further into realising...

June 12, 2023

The spirit of cannabis is everywhere around us and has most likely been a source of inspiration for an invention, piece of art, business, or relationship that we have engaged with regardless of our personal views on the plant. Steve Jobs, inventor of the iPhone had entheogenic experiences (wit...

May 21, 2023

Social media is a platform for human expression, which for me means encountering new levels of overwhelm and fear but also potential and growth. It allows freedom of expression (mostly) which is kind of daunting, especially when we look at how humanity is evolving to become so individual and unique ...

Cannabis and creation. For a woman, it’s the relationship to our womb. This is where we birth from our soul, and it doesn’t have to be a child, it can be whatever is in our imagination. The chemistry at the very core of sex, and the complex chemical profile of cannabis is added like an ingredient ...

May 18, 2023

I feel like while I’ve been on the topic of imagination, that the sexual experience is worthy of mention. Cannabis and movement go hand in hand, and the ancient texts mention this. Cannabis and yoga was a ritual back in the day. And so was cannabis and sex - it was honoured. And maybe a more palatab...

May 18, 2023

There’s something about what cannabis teaches me about the imagination that is complex and beyond my comprehension, but to simplify the teaching: creation is so good for our well-being. And any stifling of the desire to express is in opposition to our well-being. And it’s related to the channellin...

May 16, 2023

Do you buy into the stigma? Do you hide your relationship to cannabis? And if so, why? I’ve felt some shame and a shitload of fear about what people would think. I’ve only been smoking cannabis for about 6 years ago, so I guess in some ways I mightn’t carry the same level of shame about it…but wor...

May 15, 2023

Cannabis and art go hand in hand. It’s the depth of appreciation that cannabis can help you to feel, as well as the expansion of the definition of what art personally means. For me, great art is any form of expression that comes from the heart that has been practiced to the point of mastery and I ad...

Experimenting with altered states.

May 15, 2023

Probably one of the reasons why I have so much respect for cannabis is because I have children. Part of the human experience is the experimentation of altered states of consciousness and it seems to begin when our body and mind is going through rapid changes from childhood to adulthood. That’s when...

May 10, 2023

I used to have an overactive sense and perception of danger and my brain had a proclivity to store fearful memories (I’ve been waiting to use Jordan Peterson’s favourite word in my writing!). I treated my fears as parts of my life to run away from, so when my “attentional bias” became hardwired for ...

The title is in the image!

May 08, 2023

Cannabis is highly solutions oriented and the solutions are offered to you in really imaginative ways (literally via the imagination). If we treat cannabis as medicine in the way that Western culture defines medicine, then we’re limiting ourselves to being unfixable/broken and cannabis is used sim...

Ride the waves

May 07, 2023

A ceremony with cannabis is a meeting with your highest self. The brain is operating at its highest purpose, specifically the imagination, showing what you are here for as a creator. This last week, I took a hiatus from cannabis. The message never comes through directly, but unfolds in the most nat...

Reawakening your childlike curiosity.

April 27, 2023

The more curious we become, the more we’re willing to surrender to the mystery that there is no separation in existence. No separation between humanity (and our inventions), and nature, no separation between my individual self and cannabis. I love people who are telling a story that the majority ...

The Plant of Peace

April 24, 2023

Would we know peace if it weren’t for conflict? I have a relationship with cannabis but I’m not always in a state of peace, sometimes it’s the complete opposite. Characteristics of intensity and impulsiveness can mean a life filled with fireworks that’s for sure! And my own emotions of anger and ra...

Don't outsource your knowing.

April 23, 2023

This is what cannabis teaches. Cannabis introduces you to what you uniquely need to ‘heal’…for me it was my body’s ability to feel pleasure, bliss, and joy. It switched on the pleasure nerves and got them communicating, in an upwards direction, from the body up to the brain…via the vagus nerve. Hund...

The Original Teacher of Tantra

April 21, 2023

Sometimes I wonder who exactly I’m writing for…am I trying to change people’s opinions on cannabis? I try not to think too much about that because sometimes I write from that place, and it feels a bit superficial, and it’s a constant practice to dig deeper, because ultimately that’s not my intention...

ASD, the Vagus Nerve, Sex, and Cannabis

April 12, 2023

A few years ago I stumbled across Polyvagal theory at around the same time I had become aware of the characteristics of Autism being prevalent in my behaviours: I had always had difficulty making eye contact, if I was around people who triggered my fight or flight I would pretty much become mute and...

You get to choose how to live

April 11, 2023

Comparison was a high priority analytical task that I dedicated so much of my focus towards. It was my benchmark in life - comparing the way I was living against others. If it didn’t measure up, my perception defined it to mean that I was doing something wrong, or not well enough. Chasing more qual...

Psychedelic Integration.

April 04, 2023

A joy based life is a life filled with creation. A psychedelic journey is filled with ups and downs, fear and joy, pleasure and pain – it’s an amplification of life and a cannabis journey is no different. Consuming in a ritualistic, intentional setting is different to smoking it recreationall...

Discovering freedom.

April 03, 2023

It’s a polarising plant. People seem to either love it or hate it. Some people have incredibly dependent relationships on the plant which looks to be unhealthy. My analytical brain ticks over as I observe people who smoke massive amounts…and I often wonder if they’re receiving the deep levels of...

Freedom and fear

March 27, 2023

I love how cannabis shines a light on areas where I’m attempting to control situations and outcomes. Letting go is probably one of the most profound teachings of cannabis. Because at the end of the day, cannabis knows that methods of control rooted in fear don’t lead to harmonious outcomes. The pla...

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

March 23, 2023

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Thank you cannabis for amplifying the voice of the primal, intelligent body and quieting the anxious, ruminating mind. I trust in my reality I trust in every experience I trust in the feeling of having fun I trust in the feeling of enjoyment...

My zero-logic perspective on Bitcoin.

March 21, 2023

This is my perspective on Bitcoin – warning: it may lack sufficient logic, but I get to choose how I express, and I’m grateful to be living in a time where we have this kind of freedom, and grateful to whoever was involved in the origins of bitcoin (was it discovered or invented?), as well as the co...

The womb is the gateway to remembering the ancient; remembering our connection to the plants, and the Earth.

March 20, 2023

Our womb is the home of mystery. When we connect to this part of the body, we’re connecting to that which is beyond this world. The womb is the gateway to remembering the ancient; remembering our connection to the plants, and the Earth. Cannabis is here on this earth co-evolving with us, and a...

Living within the confines of compliance

March 15, 2023

I used to love compliance (it was my actual job haha), I loved trying to get people to follow the rules. It totally fed my false sense of safety…but everything I was living was false. Self-leadership can sometimes feel daunting. And for those who lack confidence in their true self, excessive rumin...

Can an artist be an entrepreneur?

March 09, 2023

I recently read a really cool definition of an entrepreneur being someone who identifies a problem which has presented itself, and having the passion to present the solution in the form of a business. The entrepreneurial spirit is around us everywhere, I see it a lot in web3, highly passionate peop...

Your conviction needs to be bulletproof.

March 06, 2023

If you feel the unwavering desire to express yourself to the world, your conviction needs to be bulletproof. If your individual expression is unlikely to be palatable to the majority, accept and embrace it; you’ve chosen to walk a path that is going to look different to others. There will be a shitl...

The sensitive nature of sex.

March 05, 2023

“When you see something beautiful, more often than not, you don’t know why it’s beautiful. You just see it, and you have the feeling. Not a decision but a reaction.” - Rick Rubin The quote above is how I feel about the table above. I can’t quite grasp it intellectually but I can feel it. Where do...

If we want to examine that which we call God, we could start with examining the orgasm.

February 23, 2023

If we want to examine that which we call God, we could start with examining the orgasm. Nothing is more pure than this. God fully expressed, felt, and channeled through you. I love the brain and its capacity to understand and explain stuff. I love how cannabis interacts with the brain and sets curi...

Spirit and Science

February 22, 2023

The body and the mind. What I love about cannabis is when it’s treated with full respect, you really listen to what’s being communicated. I can take what I learn when I’m high and apply it to my life when I’m not high. And the thing cannabis does best is strengthen the channels between God/Uni...
