Working with CODE Green
in both
Emergency & Therapeutic Contexts
Does the CODE Green have therapeutic value?
What strikes me most about the CODE Green is its apparent authenticity and veracity; that is, as the experience is happening, it feels real, it feels true...in the midst of the experience I do indeed feel as if I'm going to die, right then and there.
Of course this raises all sorts of questions: What percentage of cannabis consumers have had this experience? What is the nature of their experience? How would they describe it? What are their subjective perceptions and outcomes, pleasing and/or disturbing? Do they think a CODE Green was ultimately helpful for them?
Beyond dose, what other factors--such as set, setting, and intention--might contribute to bringing on the CODE Green in the first place? Can such factors moderate the experience, help ease the CODE Green, help turn what otherwise might simply be a nightmare into a unique learning opportunity?
Can a guided/intentional CODE Green help ease the fear of death and/or help prepare one for the real thing? And perhaps my biggest question: Might a CODE Green be an effective treatment for would-be/high-risk suicide patients, help them reconsider their plans and/or think twice about their solution in the safety of a simulation?
Just as it's natural for the writer-philosopher-medicine man to ponder such questions, so too, in the process and practice of science, it behooves the investigator to share his findings and experiences with peers and colleagues, and more, expect a response. @
