A Journey into Deeper Thought and Imagination
Embracing cannabis as part of a self-care routine is about more than just seeking pleasure; it’s about cultivating acceptance and kindness towards oneself. Many people use cannabis to aid in meditation, yoga, or simply to unwind after a long day, facilitating a deeper connection with their bodies.
Dating back to ancient times, women have been using cannabis as part of their spiritual rituals. In India, for example, cannabis was commonly used by yogis and spiritual seekers to enhance meditation practices and achieve greater states of consciousness.
