"Konoplayf": a center for "psychedelic yoga" with marijuana has been opened in the USA
A five-day experimental recreation program has been launched in California, where "psychedelic yoga" is practiced and marijuana dinners are served to help guests "expand consciousness." Vacationers will practice yoga, participate in "plant ceremonies" and play the drum in a circle. The menu was developed by a company that conducts culinary experiments with marijuana.

Since the legalization of marijuana is spreading across the United States (one out of five Americans now lives in a state where recreational use is allowed), business is moving along with trends and companies whose activities are related to light drugs are emerging.
From June 22 to June 26, a marijuana retreat will be held in California, in the picturesque city of Ojai, that is, a collective spiritual practice when people move away from the usual reality. The participants of the retreat will have five days of "plant ceremonies", creative conceptual workshops, "drum circles", "psychedelic infrared yoga", marijuana tasting and Tarot card interpretation sessions.
The experimental retreat called Cannabliss, which in English means something like "cannabis" — "cannabis" plus "buzz", is the brainchild of Sari Gabbay (pictured). She believes that marijuana is not a drug, but a means to increase mood and expand consciousness, as well as a herbal medicine.
In addition to "mind-expanding" and "body-strengthening" practices, food will be an important part of the retreat. The GrassFed company, which specializes in field lunches with marijuana, has compiled a bright menu for guests. Chef Lauren Unger, an adherent of farm products, added marijuana and reiki psychotherapy to them to help guests "open the chakras" and "heal their bodies in a natural way."
Marijuana smokers will be given special devices for inhaling smoke, and in addition to different dishes, the menu will include types of marijuana with different effects. For example, sativa will be served for breakfast, which supposedly gives energy and concentration for physical activity like yoga or walking. And in the evening, a small dose of indica should provide a restful night's sleep.
Prices in the retreat start from $1010 for one place in a tent.
For those who need a comfortable place to relax after all these drums and psychedelic exercises, there is a separate room in the house for $ 1,212 per person.
Talking about his vision, Gabbay concludes: "It's not just to smoke weed and relax with yoga. We create an amazing experience using marijuana and other herbal medicines that boost mood and expand consciousness. They will lead you into ecstasy and give you more information about yourself and how to use plants to help yourself and to improve your life."
