This is no reflection on the credentials of the author I just couldn't get past the new age and cliched tone of this. And the title is misleading....not far in this morphs into a rather vague meditation or mindfulness "how-to" for beginners and then add cannabis. A sample:
"While we envision a society where we can come together in beautiful Heartships to engage in these practices, as a community, I've come to realize we're still many years away from these possibilities on any sort of large scale. The intention of this book is to hopefully catalyze this process by inviting those who are interested into a vision of what's actually possible."
This sounds fantastic but what have they actually said if anything? Those kinds of passages are throughout. In their defense the kind of experiences they're attempting to describe are incredibly difficult to put into words but beyond the messages of "be mindful" and "be aware" I'm not sure where we are. Yes that's more than enough :) but we knew this before the book.

THIS is the book I've been looking for! I've long wondered how to approach cannabis beyond a sleep and anxiety aid, and McQueen's handbook was just the thing I'd been dreaming of for years. If you're looking for a clear, step-by-step guide into how to use cannabis as the (wildly underrated) psychedelic that it is, look no further. I plan to implement many of his suggestions, playlists, and protocols for my own personal use. This is such an incredible resource!

A lot of great information in this one, but somewhat fragmented and scattered. I am still a bit unsure why I should use cannabis as a medicine compared to other psychedelics. Daniel is using a lot of big words about collective healing and saving the planet, but I feel I never understood why cannabis is the choice except for the accessibility.
Nevertheless, McQueen's book is certainly impressive and I hope this will be the catalyst that leads to more litterature about the subject.

I really appreciate with this book set up to do call Lynn it set up to lay the foundation of looking at blending very strains of cannabis to reproduce psychedelic experiences without the need for my charger compounds, ones that are far more taxing on the body, and mine for some. In that regard, I think this book does a wonderful job.
The author takes you through his own story with mindfulness, psychedelics, and cannabis. He talks about his journey to becoming an underground psychedelic therapist and why he believes in his mission so fervently. He then moves on to talk about the various aspects of developing a healthier relationship with cannabis in a ceremonial context, and ways that these things can be individualized as well as talking about ways of creating your own custom “ psychedelic cannabis blends.”
After that, he takes you through the basics of developing your own mindfulness practices and ceremonial accoutrements to aid in developing your sad, setting, and skill necessary to navigate psychedelic experiences in ways that are useful.
A good chunk of the book is essentially a set of lists with explanations. One, to help you determine specific areas of your own make up an experience that may require more caution, or might put one in the category of needing to forgo the use of cannabis entirely. And he gives thoughtful and useful advice for navigating these things.
He then goes into what it takes to develop a mindfulness practice, different breath work practices and mindfulness techniques that you can combine with cannabis or do alone to develop a greater facility for looking in word.
He talks about the future of cannabis as a psychedelic medicine, and other psychedelic medicines more broadly and why he wrote this book in order to provide people the tools they need in order to do this work alone just in case they don’t have access to A more traditional level of assistance.
One thing I wish there was more of, though where the particulars of creating one’s own “psychedelic cannabis blend” especially given that the vast majority of strains these days are hybrids rather than being pure Indica or sativa strains, which makes the general advice given in the book difficult to follow in the modern recreational cannabis industry: to combine a strong sativa, a strong Indica and a strong hybrid and equal measure, with a healthy dose of trial and error until you find one that produces the desired effect for you. That’s good general advice, but I was looking for more specific, scientific, data driven advice during certain parts of the book which I didn’t get. I really enjoyed reading this book and found it thought-provoking, but that last little bit is the caveat which caused me to give it four stars rather than five. If you’re interested in the subject, I would definitely recommend this to start your journey on transformational work with psychedelic cannabis.

Good Nuggets Within-
This book could use a good editor. It is very challenging to read and a bit all over the map. I say this in kind, as I realize this information needs to be out in the world. If you have some patience or are good at scanning you will find some really good nuggets here.
