The National Institute of Justice has funded her team to study the proliferation of semi-synthetic THC analogs in the unregulated market and define their relevant biomarkers. Her work impacts public health and public safety policies and initiatives. At CannMed 25 Michelle will present “Why Some People “Green Out”? The Analysis of Unregulated “Hemp-derived” Cannabis Products”. Her team used a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to analyze unregulated hemp products.

During our conversation we discuss What has caused the rise of semi-synthetic cannabinoids in the market? How Michelle got involved testing unregulated hemp and cannabis products Some of the adverse events that have occured from consuming semi-synthetic cannabinoids How the LS-MS/MS method allows Michelle's team to see compounds other labs can't How consumers can protect themselves from mislabeled products Whether federal legalization of cannabis would eliminate the semi-synthetic market Thanks to This Episode's Sponsor: PRICH Biotech PRICH Biotech, Corp. is a vertically integrated company dedicated to the cultivation, manufacture and dispensing of medicinal Cannabis in Puerto Rico.

I used cannabis during my pregnancy with my second child and I firmly believe it was the best decision I ever could have made for myself and baby. I enjoyed my pregnancy, I was emotionally well and physically cared for with the help of cannabis. Now, I want to make sure other parents know that cannabis is an option for pregnancy, too. Listen, I know that pregnancy can be very challenging physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In my opinion, cannabis eases those challenges and allows me to just enjoy the blessing that is pregnancy -- bask in the experience as my body works a true miracle. It's so hard to be present for that miracle when navigating the many curveballs pregnancy can throw your way. So, after many requests from y'all, I put together this episode as a resource and needed guidance for anyone who is considering using cannabis during pregnancy and doesn't know where to start. This episode is a comprehensive breakdown of the best forms of cannabis you can incorporate into your life and my fave products for expecting mamas.

One of the things I am so grateful for is the ability to see the way that many doctors approach health & well-being shifting globally on a massive scale & beginning to utilize things such as plant medicines as alternative modalities for healing. In my opinion, this amazing paradigm shift we are experiencing will open up the doorway to true healthcare, aka preventative medicine, rather than what we currently have which is best described as sick care, aka once you're sick, you then go to receive care. Today's guest on the show is a man who, along with being a medical doctor from Australia, is a leading voice & proponent behind the utilization of Cannabis for healthcare & well-being as a whole & in this episode, we dive into his background & story of moving through addiction & the typical medical model both for himself & his patients, his own journey into Cannabis & the profound benefits he has found within the plant & much, much more.Show Notes: (0:42) Dr. James Stewart's Bio.

(01:02:38) One final question… About Dr.JSDr. James Stewart (DrJS), Australia's three-time Doctor of the Year in Cannabis, has forged a groundbreaking career. While celebrated for his Herbal Health Clinics, he's more than a decorated clinician. DrJS, a devoted family man, battled addiction and anxiety, turning his ADHD into a force for good. Formerly a DJ and club owner, he found his true calling in medicine. Driven by a patient-first approach, he challenges the over-reliance on pharmaceuticals, prescribing Medicinal Cannabis since 2019. Having positively impacted over 3000 patients, DrJS aims to raise awareness of plant medicine's benefits, advocate for its inclusion in medical education, and launch "Free The Plants," a charity for accessible plant medicine.Connect with Dr.JSInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.james.stewart/Website: www.drjamesstewart.com.auCheck us out at Highlyoptimzed.meThank you to Freedom Builderz for Making this Podcast Possible!Building online platforms for visionaries & influencers.https://www.freedombuilderz.com/For the best Cannabis Products and Gear check out Headshop.com and use promo code HIGHLY for discounts!

Todays guest on the show is someone who, along with being an avid explorer of these realms, is someone I am extremely excited to dive in with as his speciality deals with a type of mushroom that although most of us recognize, we know very little about. The mushroom I am speaking of is none other than Amanita Muscaria & along with being a professional forager of these mushrooms, he is also the leading voice & expert behind the movement to bring this often overlooked mushroom into the mainstream for healing, exploration & to aid us in our lives as a whole. He is the founder of Amanita Warriors, in which he aims to not only demystify this sacred medicine through his education surrounding it but also ensure that it is available to anyone & everyone who can benefit as a result of having it within their lives.

For most of us, life as a whole is a mystery. Who are we? Where do we come from & we're are we going are the types of questions that I have long asked myself, not concerning myself with one objective answer, but rather, a series of unfolding answers that shift for me each day. Within this thread of curiosity, it wasn't long before I learned of the Akashic records & when I did, I became obsessed with the concept. To be able to understand who we have been in past lives & the nature of reality as a whole is a gift that, with today's podcast, I intend to provide each of you with the ignition to explore yourselves. Today's guest on the show is a woman who discovered her gift for accessing the Akashic records within her spiritual journey & now works primarily in helping her clients understand the totality of who they have been & who they are now so that they too can tap into their dharma, wake up from the dream & help those they love & serve tap into this power as well. She is also the host of the Third Eye Awakening podcast, which I was a recent guest on & had SO much fun co-creating magic with her & in today's episode, we are going to dive deep into her journey, how she specifically discovered this gift of accessing the Akashic realm, some tips for any of you listening who are wanting to tap into this realm & much, much more.

One thing I speak about often & for very good reason is the concept of integration within the plant medicine space. Integration, as I see it is really the process of turning our states into traits & one of the main things that can block us in this process of transmutation is the idea of the ego's stories surrounding who we are & our experience of life as a whole. Today's guest on the show is a woman who has made it her mission in life to illuminate these ego stories for her clients that limit their personal & professional development so that they may rise to the occasion of their important mission & ultimately become the best versions of themselves. She is a Creative Coach & is the co-host of the “Let's Go From Here” podcast, which I was a guest on recently & had SO much fun & in this episode, we will be diving into her journey with psychedelic medicines, what her experiences have opened up for her in her life & much, much more.

I began this show in 2021 to discuss the experiences others were having within the realm of psychedelics in order to illuminate for those seekers curious about this realm the many possibilities that exist within it. During the time I have been running the show, I have had the opportunity to hear some truly incredible stories, however, I feel today's episode is one of the best examples of the wild & supernatural occurrences that are possible for all of us within this realm. Today's guest on the show is someone who is dedicated to exploring the many mysteries in life & in doing so, has dedicated himself to the ancient practice of Akhanda yoga not only in his own life but also in how he serves others & has also used his life experiences to create his podcast, the Yoga Connection podcast & also write his book, the Future Life Progression book. In today's episode, we will be diving into the idea of time travel through psilocybin, his thoughts on complimentary practices to assist in experiencing deeper levels of transcendentalism within the psychedelic space & much, much more.

I feel for many of us, we may not originally find the realm of psychedelic medicines consciously for healing, yet I do feel all of us move towards this realm out of curiosity surrounding what is possible for us in our lives with regards to healing, expansion, etc. Today's guest on the show is a man who has gone through his fair share of challenges pertaining to life itself & with the help of psychedelic medicines, has been able to beat past addictions & truly rise to the occasion to become the best version of himself. In this episode, we discuss his finding psychedelic medicines & the amount they assisted him in successfully navigating addiction, including micro-dosing LSD to mitigate alcohol addiction, finding kambo that, although not a psychedelic, also helped him rid his body of much of the toxic load he had taken on & also how his remineralization protocol has been paramount in allowing these changes to hold steadfast in his life.

One thing I believe we all truly seek at our core is the ability to feel whole. This being said, the lack of feeling whole is arguably one of the biggest challenges in modern-day society. We have 1000's of “friends” on social media, more distractions & shiny lights than ever & yet this problem has only gotten worse as we've continued to stray away from the true nature of our being in place of what we have been programmed to believe will lead to true fulfillment & wholeness. For me, I don't know if there is “one” solution to this multi-faceted issue, but one thing I know is that by reconnecting to the natural world, we can set in motion a chain of events that will begin to allow us to remember who & what we truly are &, in my opinion, one of the most effective & practical tools to deepen our connection to nature is the idea of microdosing psilocybin. Microdosing, as opposed to macrodosing, allows us to experience the magic of medicines such as psilocybin without having to have deep experiences that for many, are not desired. Today's guest on the show is a man who knows the power & potency of microdosing routines in one's life, as he has experienced this magic firsthand not only in his own life but also in the lives of numerous clients within his 1:1 mentorship work & his “Microdosing Mastermind.” Within the mastermind specifically, his mission is to empower his clients to take full ownership of their habits, health, healing & happiness by equipping them with the tools to do so & the necessary support to achieve any & all goals they create for themselves. Be prepared to have your mind expanded to new horizons surrounding what is possible in the realm of microdosing & beyond as I welcome my man Jeremy Abramson to the show! Show Notes:(1:47) Jeremy's Bio.(04:21) How did Jeremy first get into psychedelics?(13:49) What's the most profound download Jeremy has gotten from his experiences?

It is no secret that the world of plant medicines is exploding in popularity at the present time. More & more people are switching from the normal protocols associated with areas of life such as mental health, physical health & spirituality as a whole & are instead looking to engage with these ancient modalities for outcomes such as healing, self awareness, etc. This being said, many are finding that within this current popularization, there are more & more practitioners coming forth, some of whom have no formal training & are endangering those they are choosing to serve, instead of helping them. With this challenge, it has brought light to the importance of being able to find organizations & individuals within those organizations that are truly fit to not only serve the medicine, but also to serve those who come to them thereafter with integration plans, follow ups, etc. Todays guest on the show is someone I am extremely excited to chat with as he has dedicated his life to not only making this goal a reality within his business, the Ayahuasca foundation, which he began in 2008, but to also allow those who come to experience the FULL tradition associated with the medicine of Ayahuasca, indigenous wisdom & culture, & Peruvian culture as a whole. For those of you currently seeking a center that you can experience these traditions within & also sign up for courses, training, etc., this is an episode you will surely want to dive into!Show Notes:(01:38) Carlos' Bio.(02:40) How did Carlos first get into psychedelic medicines?(08:09) Carlos' first ayahuasca experience. (11:40) Is Aya a feminine medicine?(32:58) Mixing cannabis and ayahuasca.

He moved to Iquitos in 2004 and lived with his first teacher for four years before creating the Ayahuasca Foundation in 2008. He currently manages the Ayahuasca Foundation website, handles the bookings and client communications, and organizes the various aspects of each program like management and maintenance.

Something I feel extremely passionate about in my life & truly the reason I do everything I do between my work with Cannabis, the podcasts, etc., is to give people the opportunity to liberate themselves. I see life like a video game & the main challenge amongst this reality is that most of us believe we know the rules of the game called life, yet, as you'll recognize after hearing today's conversation, the amount we don't know about how to truly thrive within this world is absolutely mind-boggling &, to be in alignment with this show, is also quite psychedelic when you sink into what all you'll be hearing today can be applied to your life. Today's guest on the show is a man who I found not because of psychedelics, but because of the subject of sovereignty. He is the owner & founder of “Onestupidfuck”, which is a business dedicated to supplying the world with the true history behind money, banking, law & more. Within his business, he has an amazing free course called the “Contract Killer Course” that I recommend you download from his website, along with further education for those of you who want to truly see just how deep the rabbit hole goes. This is an episode that I very much recommend sharing with anyone you love as, like I stated earlier, the implications of what this information can do for you & your loved ones will be the strongest psychedelic experience you've ever dreamt of!Show Notes:(01:22) Brandon's Bio.(05:01) How did Brandon first get into sovereignty?

For those of you who have been listeners to this show for even a small amount of time, you know my beliefs about the nature of life as a whole being psychedelic.

For many of us, the realm of psychedelic medicines has served as a catalyst for deeper spiritual connection. The main challenge that presents itself, however, within the lives of many spiritual seekers that connect with psychedelic medicines for increased connection to the realm of spirit, is a lack of both understanding of the nature of reality & also how to integrate this ability to connect deeper to spirit into their every day lives. Today's guest on the show is a man I am beyond excited to speak to regarding not only his own personal experiences with these medicines but also the ways in which he has embodied & integrated this innerstanding of the nature of reality into his own life & the lives of his students. His main vehicle through which he delivers these teachings & empowers his students is his business, 4D University, & trust me when I say that for any of you who resonate with his message, I highly recommend checking out his content & offerings & seeing for yourself why he's been able to shift so many people's mindsets within the work he has devoted himself to.Show Notes:(00:42) Aaron's Bio.(04:46) How did Aaron first become interested in psychedelics?(19:52) Cannabis can be a great catalyst for so many things in life.(46:33) Aaron shares some practical tips for the listeners(01:12:10) Where you can find Aaron!(01:13:12) One final question…About AaronAaron Abke is a paradigm-shifting spiritual teacher that delivers a fresh, new perspective on Self-Realization through his teachings on the Law of One, Non-Duality, and Spiritual Intelligence.

For any of us that have been in the psychedelic space for even a short amount of time, it is easy to see that between individuals, there are many differences with regard to how these medicines operate within our minds, bodies & spirits. This being said, we can see this very clearly within the scope of men vs. women & one of the things I have been curious about for quite some time now is the idea of creating specialized frameworks for men vs. women within the psychedelic space as a whole. Well, my curiosity was finally resolved when I met today's guest & learned about her newest creation, “The Psilocybin Handbook For Women.” Within this book, she goes into great detail about all the latest research on the topic of psilocybin for women & in this episode, we take a deep dive into many of the subjects within the book to demystify this topic & illuminate some of the nuances for any of you women out there looking to maximize the potential of this medicine in your own lives.Show Notes:(01:11) Jen's Bio.(02:13) How did Jen first become interested in psychedelics?(08:54) What was Jen's first psychedelic experience like?(29:59) What motivated Jen to start the work that she is doing?(51:43) What's next for Jen?(55:41) Where you can find Jen!(56:21) One final question…About JenniferJennifer Chesak is the author of The Psilocybin Handbook for Women.

For anyone who has had the opportunity to experience the powers of DMT, you know full well what that experience can bring forth. This being said, for many people, this medicine can create a lot of anxiety as it comes on intense & fast & also, due to the fast & strong nature of it, leave many individuals puzzled as to how to contextualize their experience & how to then integrate from it. Today's guest on the show is a returning guest who is a pioneer in the realms of Cannabis, Psilocybin, Ketamine & DMT & in this episode we will be focusing primarily on his most recent venture, DMTX. DMTX is an extended state DMT experience in which the individual moving through the experience can be brought into the effects of the medicine in a slower, controlled manner & also be kept in that state longer than with other forms, such as when smoking DMT. He has been working on this project for quite some time & his overarching business, The Center For Medicinal Mindfulness, has been a long-time juggernaut in the plant medicine space in helping its clients not only benefit from the powers of Cannabis & now Psilocybin, Ketamine & DMT but also receive training in how to replicate these results for others as well!Show Notes:(01:24) Dan's Bio.(03:39) What is DMT X?(05:42) What are the challenges with DMT?(11:49) How do I contextualize and integrate the experience?(23:26) Who is the final boss?(39:14) Why suffer?(01:14:51) Where you can find Daniel!(01:16:37) One final question…About DanielDaniel McQueen, MA, is a Psychedelic Specialist, Educator, and Author of the book, Psychedelic Cannabis: Therapeutic Methods and Unique Blends to Treat Trauma and Transform Consciousness.
