David Krantz and I talk about how our unique genetics influence our metabolism of cannabis (nutrigenomics) and the resulting impact of cannabis use on our epigenetic health. Furthermore, we reach into a discussion on how the same framework of understanding applies to our metabolism of psychedelics and the potential future of a genome-specific screening program for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Amanda Siebert and I sit down to talk about what the science says about the pharmacology of the plant’s various components as well as the anecdotal uses of cannabis for bettering different areas of our lives, from sex to death. Of course, we also talk about the negatives, from cannabis addiction to cannabis hyperemesis syndrome.
R. Coleman takes us through the wealth of knowledge he has earned over his 30 years of healing trauma with psychedelic psychotherapy.

I was quasi-invited to speak (I was invited by a program curator, but wasn’t an officially invited speaker) there this year.

In this talk, I effort to blend my understandings of the psilocybin experiences with the impact early life has on the way we are in relationship and what the potential of a psilocybin encounter might be for the ongoing health of our relational lives.
