When you think of cannabis, you might think of getting stoned, being silly and spacey or getting the munchies. And while it can lead to these things, this week’s guest Gia Kubik wants people to know that it can also be a powerful spiritual medicine. In fact, Gia is so passionate about all the amazing uses for cannabis, she has her own podcast, “Get Elevated with Gia.”

In this conversation we discuss with Gia:

* Gia’s unusual late introduction to cannabis as an adult.

* Shifting our perspective to treat it with reverence as a God plant.

* Cannabis as a “teacher plant.”

* Gia’s process of using it in Reiki healing sessions.

* What is the Endocannabinoid system? Is our body “built for cannabis?”

* Experiencing life as a ceremony; setting intentions with cannabis.

* Differentiating between heavy vs frequent use.

* How to discern whether your usage is helping or masking.

* How cannabis can mimic other spirit medicines like MDMA, psilocybin or even ayahuasca.

* Developing a relationship with the spirit of the plant.

* Cannabis as a marriage counselor.

* What direction does Gia think cannabis is heading?
