Our founder

Paul Benhaim is one of the worlds leading experts on cannabis sativa. His first psychedelic experience was at the age of 17, and he has journeyed with many psychedelics since then. Having worked with the cannabis plant for three decades it was only recently that Paul recognised the ability for cannabis to be used as a true psychedelic.

His first encounter with an intentional Cannabis Psychedelic experience guided him to deep realisations which ushered in this new offering found here at Cannabis Psychedelics. His direct spiritual connection with the cannabis plant has influenced the offer for all medicinal cannabis users to meet and heal with this plant ally in a sacred, safe and intentional space.

Team

Paul Benhaim has been supported by professionals globally throughout his career, from the renowned Ben Dronkers (Sensi Seed and HempFlax founder), Alan Dronkers (Cannabis historian/ Professor), Howard Marks (Mr Nice), Don Wirthsafter (pioneer and legal expert), Jack Herer (Hemp and cannabis expert), Marc Emery (Cannabis activist), Prof Marc Cohen (integrative doctor and wellness expert), Paul Stanford (Cannabis expert), Rak Razam (author and 5-MEO expert), Gabriel Ettenson (vibration expert) and many more (see below) that have led him to Australian Cannabis Psychedelics.

History

Paul Benhaim first fell in love with the cannabis plant when he discovered the nutritional qualities of Hemp seed while in Canada (1991) and this led to traveling the world searching for answers as to why this ‘eco-wonder plant’ was not being widely accepted.
Since then, Paul created the hemp (which is a type of cannabis without the psychoactive effects) food industry in the UK and Australia, changed laws in Australia, sold products in over 20 countries, built companies in 4 continents including a publicly traded company he grew from his garage to $600m market cap valuation with over 150 employees, and he has written 9 books on hemp. 
Paul also founded the first psychedelic company focusing on the legal production of psilocybin in Australia. This work led him into close relationships with Doctors, Psychotherapists, Psychiatrists, Universities including the design of clinical trials around the psychedelic experience. He has personally experienced various psychedelic experiences worldwide and believes strongly in the unique healing benefits they may bring. Bringing this deep experience of plants, particularly cannabis, psychology, psychotherapy and psychedelics has been a natural progression to the offerings here at Cannabis Psychedelics.
Paul Benhaim’s reverence and respect for cannabis and psychedelics is unparalleled and he is very proud to offer these personalised experiences in Australia to support the safe use of these plants.
