Yes, when used with intention, the right setting (environment), set (mindset), utilising ancient tools, dose dependency and holding space can ignite similar effects as other top-known psychedelics such as psilocybin, ayahuasca and even DMT.

From a scientific perspective, cannabis is classified as a hallucinogen, which places it within the broader psychedelic spectrum. However, the depth and nature of the experience are highly dose-dependent, person-dependent, and context-dependent. Intention, environment, nervous system safety, and skilled facilitation all play a significant role.

In this work, cannabis is approached not as a recreational substance, but as a conscious, somatic catalyst, used to deepen embodiment, emotional processing, and integration rather than to chase peak experiences.

No prior experience with psychedelics is necessary.

Psychedelic cannabis journeys offer a gentler and more accessible entry point into altered states of consciousness compared to many classical psychedelics. Each session is approached with care, intention, and pacing, and is tailored to your experience level, sensitivity, and nervous system capacity.

You are supported throughout the process with clear guidance, preparation, and integration. The focus is not on intensity or peak experiences, but on embodiment, safety, and listening to the body. Many people with no prior psychedelic experience find this work to be a supportive and grounding introduction.

Preparation is simple and supportive rather than rigid. In the days leading up to your session, you may be invited to stay well hydrated, eat lightly, and wear comfortable clothing that allows ease of movement and relaxation.

You’ll also be guided to reflect on your intention for the journey, not as a goal to achieve, but as a gentle orientation for the body and mind. .

Specific preparation guidelines are shared during the preparation session, where we discuss nervous system readiness, expectations, dose, strain The focus is on creating a sense of safety, clarity, and trust before the journey begins.

Online sessions can be highly effective for many people and often offer a different—but equally meaningful, depth of experience.

Much of Pete’s facilitation experience has been in online settings, where participants are supported to journey safely within their own familiar environment. For some, being at home can enhance relaxation, embodiment, and nervous system safety, allowing the work to unfold naturally.

While in-person sessions offer the benefit of physical presence, online work emphasises self-attunement, guided awareness, and integration, which can be just as profound when held well.

To support the best experience, a stable internet connection, a good quality microphone or headset, and a quiet, private space are recommended.

While psychedelic cannabis journeys are generally well tolerated when facilitated responsibly, participants may experience intense emotions, heightened body sensations, or temporary discomfort during a session. These experiences are not considered side effects in themselves, but natural responses as the nervous system processes sensation, emotion, or stored tension.

At Psychegetics, sessions are carefully monitored and paced to prioritise safety, regulation, and consent. You are encouraged to communicate openly at any point if something feels overwhelming or uncomfortable, and support is always available.

Preparation, clear boundaries, skilled facilitation, and post-session integration all play an important role in reducing risk. This work is not about pushing limits or chasing intensity, but about listening to the body and working within your capacity.

Each journey is approached with respect for your individual needs, capacity, and circumstances.

Frequency varies from person to person and depends on how well experiences are integrated into daily life.

Unlike many classical psychedelics, cannabis does not require long recovery periods between sessions. For some individuals, sessions may be appropriate as often as once a week, while others benefit more from spacing journeys further apart. What matters most is not frequency, but nervous system capacity, integration, and stability.

Your facilitator will support you in determining a rhythm that feels safe, sustainable, and aligned with your life circumstances.

Regular or long-term cannabis use can sometimes reduce sensitivity to its psychoactive effects. However, psychedelic cannabis work is not dependent on visuals or dramatic altered states. The focus is on somatic awareness, emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and embodied insight, which can remain accessible even without overt “psychedelic” effects.

For participants with higher tolerance, preparation guidelines may include a short period of abstinence (often up to 24 hours) prior to a session, where appropriate. This is discussed on an individual basis and is intended to support sensitivity and clarity—not intensity.

Each session is approached with flexibility and attunement. The work meets you where you are, and depth is measured by integration and embodiment, not by how psychedelic the experience appears.

Cannabis in Pete’s opinion is the safest psychedelic as it has agency, and users can exit the psychedelic experience, unlike other psychedelics. CBD can be used to relax and calm the nervous system as anxiety or paranoia comes up in the session. Unlike other psychedelics, cannabis can be used in psychedelic therapy up to two, or three times a week as a psychedelic which accelerates growth and healing of the client instead of other common psychedelics that are used monthly or yearly..
