S2 #29 Connecting to the Spirit of the Cannabis Plant with Drew Switz
Listen now
Description
In this episode, my guest Drew Switz and I talk candidly about cannabis and yoga, specifically from the points of view from people that have used it recreationally and no longer do. We’re not talking about getting “high” and practicing yoga. We discuss communing with the Spirit of the Plant, to understand a on spiritual level how to work with it for a mutual-beneficial exchange. Drew is Co-Founder, and Research & Development Coordinator for RoPana Wellness, he holds a degree in Horticultural Sciences from the University of Connecticut, and has worked in academic research consulting medical cannabis patients. His passion is helping others through teaching and sharing knowledge about how yoga and cannabis can play a central role in daily life. Some of the points we discuss in this episode are: ·  Expanding consciousness through a spiritual practice vs using plants to expand awareness. ·  Respecting the plant and making offerings back.  ·  Using cannabis for yoga and why/how it could benefit you. ·  The reasons why experiences can be so varied from downright uncomfortable or psychedelic to relaxing and euphoric. ·  Drew talks about how the plant is out of balance due to the demands of recreational use. ·  The different strains of cannabis, THC, CBD.
