Cannabis & Consciousness: An Exclusive Interview With Jason Silva

I sat down with Jason Silva, the television personality, filmmaker, futurist, philosopher, and public speaker, to discuss his relationship with cannabis and psychedelic substances.

Gifted with the ability to speak extemporaneously on topics of philosophy, technology, psychology and psychedelics, Jason Silva is known for his passionate story-telling which has landed him public speaking gigs at Google and TEDGlobal, as well as having two very successful shows on National Geographic, entitled ‘Brain Games’ and ‘Origins: The Journey of Humankind.’

Videos of Jason Silva on YouTube have amassed millions of views, namely through his speeches, his podcast ‘Flow Sessions’, and his ‘Shots of Awe’ series, in which the self-described “wonder-junkie” attempts to thread together various philosophical concepts, modes of being, and cutting-edge technological developments to create an exciting, cohesive worldview.

When it comes to cannabis, Jason has given several high-profile lectures and created multiple viral videos, and so we decided to sit down with him and hear first-hand what Jason Silva’s views are on cannabis, psychedelics, technology and the future.
