Cannabis: Cruelty vs. Inspiration – Elevation Ceremony this Saturday

This week, we’re reminded just how much progress we’ve made – and how far we still have to go – when it comes to the global acceptance of cannabis as medicine, and why safe healing practices are not just a nice idea but a real necessity for those of us doing this work. It’s one thing to read about progress in headlines; it’s another to watch someone’s life get dismantled over a bottle of CBD oil.

Safe healing practices still aren’t safe everywhere

A 64-year-old Canadian man is currently facing a life sentence in Dubai for possessing medically prescribed CBD oil. He was simply transiting through the Dubai airport on his way to South Africa when he was stopped, searched, and detained. His wife shared that he uses this plant medicine to manage chronic pain caused by Addison’s disease, a rare and life-threatening condition.

His trial is scheduled for Christmas Day, and our thoughts are with him and his loved ones. We hope for compassion, justice, and a swift resolution that allows him to return home.

I keep thinking about his wife, and how easily a transit stop became detention.

Stories like this are sobering reminders of the stigma and misunderstanding that still surround cannabis in many parts of the world. At the same time, they underscore how fortunate we are to live in places where we can access and explore its healing potential safely and openly.

That is about people trying to care for themselves and being punished for it. I do not take that lightly here, not when a man is facing a life sentence for medicine prescribed to help him live with pain.

And that’s what this Saturday’s Cannabis Elevation Ceremony is all about.

Cannabis is more than a tool for physical relief

For me, cannabis is more than a tool for physical relief; it’s a gentle boundary–dissolving spirit medicine. It allows us to connect deeply with ourselves through meditation, thinning the veil between our conscious and subconscious minds. When used in my emotional release process, it supports clarity, presence, and profound self-exploration.

Create space for renewal this Saturday

In light of the Dubai story and the growing need to honor and celebrate this plant’s transformative power, I invite you to join the interest list for my next complimentary Cannabis Elevation Ceremony. In this 75-90 minute gathering, we’ll connect with any limiting beliefs or emotional blocks and create space for renewal.

You do not have to share anything out loud, and you do not have to know exactly what you are carrying when we begin. You can simply listen, breathe, and be present with whatever comes up for you during our time together, and let that be enough for now.

With or without plant medicine, it is deeply personal

Once the date is set, you’ll get access to a video to help you decide how much cannabis to amplify with during our time together. Alternatively, you can enhance your experience with CBD (or psilocybin microdosing as well), OR join us without using any substances at all. The beauty of this journey is that it’s a deeply personal and experiential adventure, with or without plant medicine. The event is free, and a recording will be available for three days afterward.

These ceremonies are an opportunity to not only honor the power of cannabis but to stand in solidarity with those who face adversity for embracing this plant medicine.

We will keep it gentle and let the plant do what it does. That is Safe healing practices as I understand it. Please join us this Saturday, come as you are, and let yourself be supported by this gathering, this plant, and our time together here today.
