Results of a survey with 1087 participants show that cannabis use may be associated with spiritual benefits. The study was conducted by investigators of the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in Emeryville, USA.
Spiritual benefit from cannabis was reported by 66.1% of the sample, and 5.5% reported it had sometimes been a spiritual hindrance. Authors wrote that “the majority of the sample (63%) was free of cannabis use disorder. Compared to disordered groups, the non-disordered group was significantly older and scored lower on experiential avoidance, psychological distress, and several motives for use. Results suggest that spiritual motives for cannabis use may be widespread.”
