Cannabis has been used for thousands of years in spiritual practices and in today’s episode we discuss how we can adapt this tradition for modern times. Our guest, Will Johnson, is the author of Cannabis in Spiritual Practice: The Ecstasy of Shiva, the Calm of Buddha. We discuss his journey of being a devout Buddhist of 13 years and how he came to integrate cannabis into his spiritual practice. He shares practical guidance on using this plant to get out of our minds and into our bodies for deeper meditations. After our conversation, you will find a 13-minute guided cannabis meditation from Will's book. We also discuss:

►How to adapt traditional spiritual teachings for modern life
