Cannabis Assisted Psychedelic Therapy (CAPT)

CAPT Sessions are available In-person in Sydney, NSW or online:

When Cannabis is worked with as a safe and sacred medicinal tool, it support us in many healing processes such as resolving & releasing trauma within the nervous system, resolving tensions & emotions stored deep within the body, tracking inner sensations, creative processing, sense of purpose and mental clarity.

Under the guidance of an experienced therapist we will embark on an active psychedelic or psycholytic journey, exploring thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and experiences with deep introspection. Cannabis disrupts habitual thought patterns and the activity of the Default Mode Network, softening conscious rational filters and defense mechanisms. This relaxation allows access to deeper layers of the unconscious, uncovering repressed emotional content, personal and ancestral traumas, and hidden memories.

Depending on the clients needs, the individual consumes a low to medium dose of cannabis, sufficient to enter an altered expanded state of consciousness without losing their connection to reality.

Cannabis Assisted Psychedelic Therapy (CAPT) reframes the Cannabis experience as not just a substance to be used in recreational settings and expands upon the ever-increasing medical efficacy being discovered daily. When used in an intentional container with a professionally trained psychedelic guide, this modality deepens the healing and transformational process and makes somatic (body-centered) somatic trauma work more efficient and more effective than typical healing modalities.

My clients frequently report:

• Extreme body awareness and a synesthesia of somatic and visual senses

• Active and very visual imaginal experiences and a deep connection with their intuition

• A connection with the sacred, deeply meaningful and transcendent

• A feeling of being very present, lucid and with a sense of agency during experience

• Profound new levels of nervous system regulation and trauma resolution

• Creating more capacity of energy flow in the body due to removal of stagnant energy

• Developing a sense of agency in life, with important situations and having more choice

• Feeling a deeper connection with their sense of purpose

Contrary to popular belief, Cannabis is a classic psychedelic. Until recently, however, it just wasn’t grown with the quality, potency, and unique characteristics required to actualize as a reliable psychedelic medicine. The War on Drugs grossly distorted our understanding of cannabis, even within the psychedelic therapy community, and this has limited our perception of what we thought possible. As cannabis legalization sweeps across the country, people are waking up to the incredible potential of this plant.

Clean, well grown, organic cannabis has evolved today to be exceptionally potent with THC levels testing around 25%-30%. When grown properly with care and love cannabis can produce diverse profiles of fragrance which contribute to the myriad of physiological and psychological effects that this amazing plant is capable of eliciting.

Did you know that when Cannabis is used intentionally and skillfully, it is just as potent as other psychedelic medicines in a therapeutic setting? Since Cannabis has a “shape shifting” nature and can mimic other medicines, clients commonly report experiences that are as potent and psychedelic as MDMA, Psilocybin, Ayahuasca and even DMT. Cannabis Assisted Psychotherapy practitioners are required to learn how to competently work with all the other medicines in a single session, ranging from gentle MDMA to vivid DMT states which is contributed with intention, set, setting and dosage. No other medicine creates such a diverse psychedelic experience. 

Psychedelic Cannabis experiences are perfect for people who are curious about psychedelics but don’t know where to start and looking for a legal approach. They’re also great for experienced psychonauts seeking to deepen their psychedelic practice. As experienced guides, Psychegetics works with individuals who seek deep, transformational healing and those who are creative explorers of consciousness, complex problem-solvers, pushing the edges of human potential.

Psychegetics works with Cannabis, not only because it is accessible for adults legally medicinally in Australia and legal recreational in a number of countries worldwide, but also because we have found it to be an incredible medicine to combine with Somatic Processing & Psychedelic Therapy.

Cannabis often supports a somatic and autonomic nervous system (ANS) exploration, allowing for the processing and release of deeply embedded traumatic memories and experiences. These are stored within the body's biochemical systems, beyond the reach of traditional verbal psychotherapy methods that emphasize understanding, insight, narrative-building, or coping strategies.

Legal psychedelic therapy with cannabis offers a powerful, transformative alternative to other forms of psychedelic healing, delivering profound therapeutic benefits without the hefty price tag. While traditional therapies using psilocybin or ayahuasca often involve expensive retreats, international travel, or specialised clinics—sometimes costing tens of thousands of dollars—Cannabis-Assisted Psychedelic Therapy is accessible, affordable, and, most importantly, legal in many regions.

This approach not only makes deep healing more financially attainable but also opens the door to continued practice and growth. By removing financial barriers, Cannabis-Assisted Therapy allows you to commit to a sustained journey of self-discovery and transformation, offering profound results without the overwhelming costs. It’s a compassionate, supportive way to explore your inner world and create meaningful, lasting change.
