✨❓Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely!  Cannabis is most definitely a psychedelic when used with intention during the journey experience. You know that feeling "OMG I'm too high"? That's actually the state you want to be in. You are supported the entire time of the journey and that "too high" feeling can lead to incredible insights. 

Pregnancy is definitely contraindicated. Other clinical diagnoses may be contraindicated as well. We review all of that information in the Safety Assessment. If you are in doubt, please consult with your medical professional.

Absolutely. Because we utilize cannabis in a ceremonial manner, it's very different than "just getting high". By imbibing cannabis with intention, it totally changes they way the body's cannabinoid receptors operate and experienced clients are able to achieve psychedelic effects. 

Yes. This type of work is available to most everyone (except where contraindicated) and we will discuss your use of cannabis during the intake session. During the imbibing part of the journey, you are invited to smoke as much or as little as you wish. Based on my personal experience, those that have limited or no experience with cannabis can still journey safely, but may choose to imbibe less than a more experienced cannabis user and still have a successful journey. 

We utilize a flower vaporizer with pre-blended cannabis. The vaporizers we use are the Pax or Pax Plus. If you do not have one, we have one you can borrow for the session.

Because dosage is tricky with edibles, we avoid them for journeys. It can take up to 2 hours for the effects to hit and can be very unpredictable. If you cannot vape flower, please contact us at info@thealchemyofserenity.com and we can discuss options.

No. We will provide you with one for your journey. If you'd like to purchase your own, we recommend the Pax Plus. 

We recommend purchasing 1 gram each of sativa, indica and hybrid. THC percent should be a minimum of 23% up to as much as you feel like you can tolerate. The easiest way to do this is to purchase 3 pre-rolls, one of each type of strain.

No. We cannot provide cannabis under any circumstances. We do not have a dispensary license so the client is required to bring your own. We will tell you exactly what to purchase from a dispensary and will help you blend it. 

No, we are not a dispensary and cannot provide cannabis. 

We recommend blending equal amounts by weight. I use a mortal and pestle and a small scale to be precise. If you don't want to blend at home, please bring the unblended flower with you to your journey session and I can help you weigh and blend it. If you do this, I also recommend you bring a small container for the excess. You can also bring 3 pre-rolls, one of each strain and we can blend those together. 

Yes, definitely. Per the Psychedelic Safety Agreement that all clients are required to sign, clients are required to have a ride home.

You will be surprised when you imbibe cannabis with intention, how different the experience is for you. We recommend you purchasing strains that you may be unfamilar with and thereby have a reduced tolerance to. 

We recommend the Pax or Pax Plus. The Pax Mini doesn't have a temperature control and is less effective. 

While rare, on occasion a client may have an intense experience that is too uncomfortable. We have a nano-encapulated (fast-acting) CBD Psychedelic Rescue Spray which will stop the psychedelic experience.

Yes. We work with anxiety that may appear during the journey. We encourage the use of CBN, which helps to counterbalance the effects of intense sativas which can cause anxiety and you are supported the entire time.

Currently, you can book appointments through the Sonoran Serenity Spa booking system for everything except CAPT. Look for the category LiftUp/GroundDown™. If you are interested in the LiftUp/GroundDown Pathway™, book Where  the Path Begins. Otherwise, if you are looking for Reiki, Hypnotherapy, basic Tarot or Somatic Breathwork, you can book those a la carte, as desired. Alternatively, you can also fill out the Contact Us form with any questions.

At this time, booking is through Sonoran Serenity Spa, however, payment is made directly to The Alchemy of Serenity upon completion for most offerings. In the case of CAPT journeys, we always deal with payment at the beginning because we do not handle money in altered states. 

Accepted payment methods are cash or credit cards and all other forms of payment accepted by Square, including payments over time (service fee applies).
