Unlocking Trauma with Cannabis-Assisted Psychedelic Therapy | Pete Volos

In this episode of Cosmic Conference, we dive into a groundbreaking approach to trauma healing with Pete Volos, founder of Psychogenetics and a pioneer in cannabis-assisted psychedelic therapy in Australia. Pete shares his personal healing journey, detailing how cannabis, when used intentionally, can act as a powerful tool for trauma resolution. He explains the science behind the plant’s interaction with our endocannabinoid system, how it differs from other psychedelics like psilocybin and ayahuasca, and why it's an effective method for reconnecting with suppressed emotions. We also explore the evolving legal landscape surrounding therapeutic cannabis use and what the future holds for plant-based medicine. About the Guest: Pete Volos is the founder of Psychogenetics and a leading advocate for cannabis-assisted psychedelic therapy in Australia. Since 2011, he has integrated plant medicine with breathwork, bioenergetics, kinesiology, bodywork, and Reiki in his somatic healing practice.

His personal experience of overcoming dissociation and trauma using cannabis has shaped his approach to guiding others toward profound healing. Key Takeaways: ✔️ Reframing Cannabis Use: Cannabis has been stigmatized due to the war on drugs, but it holds significant therapeutic potential when used intentionally. ✔️ A Powerful Somatic Tool: Cannabis interacts with the endocannabinoid system, softening muscles, regulating the nervous system, and bringing suppressed trauma to the surface. ✔️ Cannabis vs. Other Psychedelics: Unlike psilocybin or ayahuasca, cannabis provides a more flexible, controlled psychedelic experience with agency for the user. ✔️ Healing Dissociation: Pete shares his own journey from dissociation to deep emotional reconnection through cannabis-assisted therapy. ✔️ Legal Challenges & Future Potential: The future of cannabis therapy looks promising as more regions legalize its medicinal use, but challenges still remain in policy and societal perception.
