What happens when you combine cannabis and yoga with intention, ritual, and deep respect?
In this episode of Higher Spirits, I sit down with Dee Dussault, the pioneer of Ganja Yoga, to explore the ancient roots and modern relevance of cannabis-enhanced yoga. We dive into the sacred history of cannabis in spiritual traditions, how to avoid cultural appropriation in Western yoga, and why cannabis can be such a powerful tool for embodiment, emotional healing, and the return to feminine wisdom.
We also talk about:
How Dee coined the term Ganja Yoga and brought the practice to the West
The importance of setting intentions and creating ritual with cannabis
The intersection of sensuality, somatics, and plant medicine
The challenges and privileges of navigating legal cannabis today
Why mindfulness matters when working with any sacred practice
Whether you’re cannabis curious or already plant-devoted, this episode is a reminder that getting high can be a path to getting deep — when approached with care.
