AROMATHERAPY

For cannabis addiction, aromatherapy using the essential oils of basil, cardamom, clary sage, and nutmeg can be helpful. Deep breathing is also a good practice to let go of any smoking habit. Selecting an essential oil and taking five breaths of it from each nostril, deeply and slowly, can be a powerful technique for nourishing the portions of the psyche that crave a substance.

Rules and regulations governing the production, distribution, and use of cannabis are evolving every day, but for the most part, they are very limiting. They’re also short-sighted and counterproductive. Cannabis—or hemp, as it’s known in agricultural circles—is not something to protect humanity from but a crop that can itself protect humanity! Hemp is easily grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. It can be used to make paper, fiber, and fuel—three great needs of human society. If we substituted hemp-based products for many of the products currently made using the petrochemical-intensive methods of industrial agriculture and manufacturing, we could solve many of the planet’s environmental problems. And hemp, in the form of cannabis, has so many medicinal uses that it truly is one of the sacred plants of this world. If we as a society were less afraid of its power, we could use hemp to liberate ourselves not only from addictions to drugs and alcohol (just one of its medicinal uses!) but also from our addiction to petrochemicals. It certainly can be abused, and we should guard against that, but cannabis has much less potential for abuse than other addictive substances, and so much to offer in return.
