Greening the Mind
Community Based Non-Therapeutic Cannabis Exploration Sessions
​
For those interested in non-therapeutic, community-based approaches to personal growth and mindfulness with psychedelic cannabis, I invite you to explore Greening the Mind. Their mission is to empower individuals through mindfulness and intentional cannabis use, offering guided experiences and education to support transpersonal change. While psychedelic cannabis therapy focuses on structured psychological treatnment, Greening the Mind provides opportunities for exploration, self-discovery, and holistic well-being in a safe, non-clinical and supportive environment.
​​
Community-based exploration sessions should not be confused with Psychedelic Cannabis Therapy, which is a professional therapeutic service. My community based work is non-therapeutic and does not constitute medical advice or serve as a substitute for psychiatric care. All work, therapeutic and community based, is conducted in compliance with local laws and professional ethical standards.
