Frequently asked questions
-
Cannabis was legalised for medicinal purposes on 24th February 2016 by amendments to the Narcotic Drugs Act by the Australian Parliament. This is currently the only legal psychedelic therapy generally available in Australia (outside of medical trials and expensive psilocybin/MDMA therapy). You may learn more about this here.
Note: you cannot partake in a Cannabis Psychedelic experience if you do not have legal cannabis, which is currently via a prescription, so please don’t ask. You are required to bring your own prescribed cannabis and understand the dose your Doctor has recommended when you come to one of our experiences.
-
The cannabis psychedelic experience spans 4 hours, beginning with settling into the space and feeling comfortable with the process. After taking the medicine, you'll lie down with an eye covering and experience two guided one-hour sessions of meditation and music, with a short break between.
As you emerge, you'll be supported with grounding snacks and drinks, followed by journaling time and conversation before lunch. The afternoon is dedicated to a 3-hour mindful collage session, where you'll bring your experience to paper through analogue collage techniques to support integration.
Every individual's experience is unique and inherently unpredictable. Some people dive straight into core issues, while others take a more roundabout path to insight. You might experience massive breakthroughs or subtle shifts in how you relate to yourself and others. Psychedelics open doors to perception and the unconscious aspects of your psyche.
Common experiences include deep muscle relaxation, profound nervous system regulation, peak or mystical experiences, and trauma release (either during or in the days following). You may connect with a deeper sense of purpose or experience something entirely unexpected.
Primary outcomes participants notice:
•Connection to a "Higher Self" or deeper sense of purpose
•Enhanced holistic wellbeing
•Greater flow and creativity at work
•More empathic leadership style
•Greater fulfilment in relationships
•Cultivating healthier habits without resistance -
To be considered for medicinal cannabis treatment, your doctor will advise that you must:
•Have had a chronic condition for at least three months
•Have exhausted all conventional treatment options or experienced adverse side effects to these treatments
•Be over 16 years of age (21 years is the minimum age for our experience)
-
In Australia, it is not legal to drive with cannabis in your system. You must arrange a pre-arranged lift, taxi, uber, or stay at local accommodation. We strongly emphasise this safety requirement.
-
Not at all. The mindful collage art session is about using creativity as a tool for healing and integration, not about creating perfect art. Fabio's gentle guidance will help you tap into your innate creativity to translate your inner journey into a meaningful visual narrative.
You'll create a personal collage that reflects and integrates your morning's journey. This becomes a tangible anchor for your insights and a beautiful reminder of your healing experience. You'll take home a framed piece of your own artwork.

Cannabis is one of the safest medicines known to humanity and is not associated with any fatal overdoses, making it safer than coffee, carrots, bananas and even water. Cannabis is probably the most gentle of all psychedelics and is suitable for nearly everyone.
-
No prior experience is required with either cannabis therapy or art. This is a beginner-friendly event designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or experience level.
-
This therapy may not be appropriate for people with recent suicidal tendencies or thoughts, bipolar disease, or psychosis. We will help guide you during the application process if this therapy may not be suitable for your situation.
-
The experience is held in a safe, sacred container with experienced facilitators present throughout. Paul Benhaim is a pioneer in cannabis-assisted therapy in Australia with years of experience guiding individuals through psychedelic journeys. The setting is intentional and ceremonial, very different from recreational use.
Reviews

My psychedelic journey provided me with such deep healing. I found I was able to shine the light on some of my shadows, to face my fears, to look at deep seated trauma still in my body, and to become aware of some unconscious patterns that were playing out in my life. I walked away from the experience feeling empowered, strong, brave, lighter, and with a deeper sense of trust in myself, others and life at large. I am so grateful for Paul’s space holding, and to this wonderful plant medicine.

I am an experienced and regular cannabis smoker, and never expected this. Wow, what an incredible journey! This psychedelic cannabis experience took me on an internal adventure like no other. The vibrant colors and enhanced sensory perception made me feel like I was exploring a whole new drug. It sparked some deep introspection and left me with new level of creativity and a profound sense of connection to others in my life. Truly an unforgettable and enlightening experience! I would even love to try it with the cannabis one day as the experience is so well put together – well done Paul. That sound track is amazing.

I found the Cannabis Psychedelic Journey quite restorative and healing. It was a gentle yet highly effective experience. I had a deep connection to my body and could feel how it held what I no longer needed. Since the journey, I have felt a sense of peace, openness and expansiveness. It was very gentle on my nervous system, and I developed a newfound openness.

Paul was very professional, kind and balanced in his guidance of this journey. I would recommend it, when one is wanting a safe and yet powerful experience.

I am a psychotherapist interested in the healing potentials of psychoactive plants. I recently experienced a psychedelic cannabis session. My experiences with other psychedelics have been powerful and insightful, but often harsh on my nervous system and physical body. I had some preconceived ideas around cannabis and associated it with feeling stoned and spacey. This was nothing like that, it was clear and vibrant with visuals that guided me through my intentions. I had agency to keep in certain visuals or move out as needed. This therapeutic psychedelic is something I think could have great value for many mental health diagnosis but also for anyone wanting to take a deeper look into their own inner world.

Love exploring new ways of being creative. Thank you Fabio for such a beautiful mindful collage workshop. I normally use dance as my way of processing and diving deep, but I discovered how fun and healing art can be too! My inner child came out to play, create and explore in a whole new medium and it was such a joyful, meditative experience. Highly recommend Fabio's workshops. His passion and love for what he does really shine through so beautifully.

I loved this workshop. Fabio was so warm and welcoming which helped me feel at ease. The space was beautiful and Fabio's introduction and guided meditation opened up a deeper connection to the creative process. He shared his expertise while offering assitance each step of the way but always allowing for our own intuition and exploration with imagery to guide us. It was a very inspiring and creatively fulfilling afternoon. Highly recommended.

I recently attended a collage art class with Fabio, and it was an incredible experience! The class size was very small, which allowed for plenty of one-on-one time with Fabio. He has such a great energy - always positive, encouraging, and incredibly patient. Fabio created a welcoming and inspiring environment where I felt comfortable exploring my creativity and trying new techniques. I left the class feeling inspired and eager to continue my collage journey. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to learn collage art in a supportive and uplifting setting!
