Episode notes

INSIGHT

Cannabis Reveals, It Doesn’t Cause

Ryan Sprague: Cannabis reveals your inner state rather than causing paranoia.
Reframing effects as revelations allows conscious ownership and nervous-system regulation.

INSIGHT

Cannabis As Gatekeeper

Aubrey Marcus: Cannabis acts as a gatekeeper to deeper plant medicines, not a gateway to more drugs.
If you can't handle cannabis, you likely need more inner work before stronger psychedelics.

ADVICE

Set Intention, Ceremony, Then Integrate

Have an intention before using cannabis and set a ceremonial container for the experience.
Integrate afterwards via journaling or speaking to convert insights into lasting traits.
