Your Journey Begins

Hundreds of millions of users have experienced a cannabis high throughout history, but only few know broad spectrum of the potential of a cannabis high to enhance our consciousness. They have opened the door to a new world without really exploring it.

The Plant Cannabis

We need to learn about the cannabis plant if we want to learn the art of using cannabis to enhance our consciousness. How did it co-evolve with humans? Which substances do we find in cannabis varieties? Does it still make sense to distinguish Sativa and Indica varieties?

The Multidimensional High

Cannabis can not only relax us, put us in a better mood or intensify our experiences. Countless users have reported in detail that it helps them to focus their attention, to better remember events, or to recognize different patterns. They report changes in their perception of time, intropektive and empathic insights, an enhancement of their sexual experiences, and many other cannabis-induced mind enhancements. There seems to be a whole bouquet of mind enhancments that cannabis users experience under favorable conditions.

How To Use a High

Only if we learn how to use cannabis we can minimize existing risks and benefit from a high inspirationally – to work creatively, to enrich our love life, to better understand ourselves and others, and even to develop personally. The Art of the High is a sound but minimalist and entertaining guide that shows us in a step-by-step way how to use the  the potential of the cannabis high.
