25. Psychedelic Audio Integration: How Sound Shapes Your Trip

How does music become medicine? In this episode of The High Guide, April Pride explores the role of sound in psychedelic journeys with electronic composer Tom Butcher, co-founder of Patchwerks. This episode is the follow-up to our first-ever psychedelic sound journey—and it’s all about how audio can shape, enhance, and ground your trip. Whether you're walking through Halloween trick-or-treaters or lying under a weighted blanket, you'll learn how rhythm, frequency, and nature-based sound design can guide your state of mind. Plus, April shares her personal experience with a psilocybin-enhanced audio journey using the albino strain Avery’s Albino.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-Audio journeys can serve as “springboards” into your inner world—especially when layered with intention and emotional resonance.

-Synthesizers and drone tones can mimic spiritual experiences, offering a deeply centering or energetic effect.

-Integration doesn’t stop with music—your choice of setting, dose, and even cartoon (hello, Kiki!) affects your takeaways.

-The strain Avery’s Albino delivers a potent physical high, making it better for introspection than dancing.

-Compositional techniques like binaural beats and time manipulation can subtly shift your state of consciousness.

23. Tips to Navigate Your First (or Next) Psychedelic Experience

Wondering how to dose mushrooms for your first or next trip? In this second installment of The High Guide’s two-part psychedelic prep series, April Pride offers an unfiltered and wise countdown of tips to trip—covering psilocybin dosing levels, ingestion methods, and real stories from other journeyers. From 0.5g “museum doses” to 5g heroic explorations, this episode is part protocol, part permission slip. Plus, we dive into DMT and Ayahuasca experiences, tips on mixing weed with psychedelics, and how to build a trip plan that’s intentional—not overwhelming. Whether you’re new or re-entering the world of plant medicine, this episode reminds you: safety, context, and curiosity are key.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-A low dose of psilocybin (0.5–2g) is ideal for a light, social, or visual trip. Think: museums, music, or nature walks.

-Dosing impacts trip duration, intensity, and emotional range—set your intentions and scale accordingly.

-Ingest mushrooms via tea, lemon tek, or food—but be mindful of onset time and duration.

-Ayahuasca and DMT offer powerful visuals and emotional insights but require preparation and support.

-Mixing cannabis with psychedelics can amplify or soothe effects—know your limits and when to pause.

22. Journey Into the High: How to Prepare for a Psychedelic Cannabis Experience

What if “getting high” was more than fun—it was a tool for transformation? In this episode of The High Guide, host April Pride kicks off a new series, “Journey with The High Guide,” that pairs immersive audio tracks with your next psychedelic cannabis experience. She shares five of ten tips for tripping with intention, explores how cannabis and psychedelics affect perception, and teases a Halloween-themed adventure track. You’ll learn how to get the most out of your experience—whether you’re tripping in the streets for candy or staring down your shadow self. The vibe? Curious, irreverent, and dead serious about how fun can also be healing.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-Psychedelic cannabis is a real thing—and yes, it works on the same brain receptors as LSD and psilocybin (5-HT2A).

-Durban Poison, Amnesia Haze, and LSD are top strains for a more expansive, perceptual high.

-Set and setting matter. So does understanding your strain—whether it’s weed or a mushroom varietal.

-Audio experiences can anchor your trip. That’s the idea behind “Journey with The High Guide.”

-Integration is the afterglow. Every journey is followed by a reflection episode to process insights.

21. Cannabis for Cancer Symptoms: What the Knox Docs Know

What happens when conventional cancer care fails—or patients choose to bypass it altogether? In this illuminating episode of The High Guide, April Pride sits down with Dr. Janice Knox, an anesthesiologist-turned-endocannabinologist who treats cancer through cannabis-based protocols. Dr. Knox shares compelling case studies, including a baby with glioblastoma and a nurse with stage 4 metastatic cancer, both of whom saw remarkable tumor regression without chemotherapy. Through the lens of the endocannabinoid system, she breaks down what a “cannabis for cancer” regimen actually looks like—including terpenes, lifestyle shifts, and the power of personalized protocols. Whether you’re caregiving or just curious, this episode opens a new frontier in healing.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a key role in balancing, repairing, and protecting the body—and cannabis can help restore it.

-Dr. Janice Knox shares real patient stories where cannabis-based protocols led to remission without chemo or radiation.

-Cannabis is most effective when integrated into a full lifestyle protocol—nutrition, sleep, gut health, and stress management matter.

-Each cancer type has a cannabinoid and terpene profile that may support better outcomes. For breast cancer: think CBD and CBG.

-Cannabis can complement or replace conventional treatment—but requires collaboration between oncologists and endocannabinologists.

What makes a CBD brand stand out in today’s overcrowded market? In this episode, host April Pride talks with Sophia Trunzo and Lior Root, co-founders of Paradigm Media, about what it really takes to grow and sustain a cannabis or CBD company online.

20. How Women in Cannabis Are Disrupting the Industry from the Inside Out

What happens when women lead in cannabis? In this episode of The High Guide, April Pride brings together three powerful founders—Raeven Duckett (JOHNNIE), Valerie Sakota (Barbari), and Solonje Burnett (Humble Bloom)—to talk about how they’re shaping the cannabis industry from within. From the legacy market to CBD beauty, these women are redefining what success looks like through collaboration, creativity, and capital. Expect candid conversations on culture, representation, and why “pink and shrink” branding doesn’t work. Whether you’re in the industry or just weed-curious, this one is a blueprint for doing business differently.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-The “legacy market” still dominates cannabis sales

-Female-led brands like Barbari and Frigg are creating low-dose, stress-supportive products that reflect real life—not wellness clichés.

-Capital is still the biggest barrier. Black women are 100x less likely to raise funding than white women in cannabis.

-Collaboration over competition: these founders are modeling a future where shared resources build equity and impact.

-The East Coast is rising, but long-time New York activists risk being pushed out unless we fund them too.

19. Is Weed a Psychedelic? Exploring Cannabis’s Trippy Side

Can weed make you trip like acid or mushrooms? In this week’s episode of The High Guide, April Pride unpacks the surprisingly psychedelic effects of cannabis—especially in potent doses. From the science of THC and the default mode network to the mysterious powers of new cannabinoids like THCP, this episode offers a fresh look at how weed can shift your sense of self, time, and the world around you. Plus, hear what happens when you mix cannabis with classic psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin—and why some folks swear it’s euphoric while others spiral into anxiety. If you’ve ever wondered whether weed is a psychedelic or how crossfading really works, this episode delivers clarity, curiosity, and caution.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-THC impacts the same brain receptors as classic psychedelics—just with shorter, subtler effects.

-High doses of potent weed can suppress the default mode network, producing psychedelic-like shifts in perception.

-Combining cannabis with LSD or mushrooms intensifies the trip for some, while others report increased anxiety.
