Episode 71: Cannabis, Spirituality & How Psychedelics Could Help Save The World (feat. Stephen Gray)

As many of you who have been listening to this show for even a little while know, I am extremely passionate about revealing the true potential & power of Cannabis as a spiritual aid & ally that can serve us in our lives to help us become more self aware & understand ourselves at deeper levels. In doing this, I recognized quite quickly that although I had stumbled upon this notion completely by chance in my own life, this was no new way of viewing Cannabis. Indigenous cultures & occult practices dating back thousands of years have viewed Cannabis in this way & it is only in the last hundred or so years in particular that Cannabis has been so wrongly demonized & stigmatized, leading to the current movement by individuals like myself & todays guest to rewrite the script that society has painted regarding this ancient plant teacher. Stopping by to share his wisdom, experience & knowledge with us today on the show is an individual who has spent 50 years traveling spiritual & medicine pathways. He is the author & editor of 3 books, including “Cannabis & Spirituality, An Explorers Guide To An Ancient Plant Spirit Ally” & the forthcoming book “How Psychedelics Can Help Save The World, Visionary & Indigenous Voices Speak out” & is also an educator, conference organizer, speaker, Cannabis Ceremony leader, is the creative director of the “Spirit Plant Medicine Conference” in Vancouver, British Columbia & if all of that wasn’t enough, he also interviews leading influencers in psychedelics & consciousness transformation for the Stephen Gray Vision YouTube Channel. In this episode, we will be diving into his work, what the catalyst was in his life for embarking upon this type of work, how to apply what he shares into each of your own individual spiritual journeys & much, much more.
