About Sebastian Marincolo

aka Dr. Sebastian Schulz studied philosophy and linguistics at the University of Tübingen, Germany, and at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA. He was a student of William Lycan, Simon Blackburn, Gianfranco Soldati, and Manfred Frank, some of the most influential philosophers of consciousness today. He received his magna cum laude PhD with a thesis about a critical analysis of neurophilosophical theories of consciousness. His research focuses on human and artificial consciousness and altered states of consciousness.

After more than 20 years of research on the cannabis high as an altered state of consciousness, Marincolo has already published many articles, essays, and four books on the subject.

Marincolo’s expert blog with essays on the cannabis high appeared online in five languages for the largest cannabis seed bank in the world. His online courses How To Use Cannabis To Enhance Your Mind, Creativity & Learn New Things About Yourself were produced by Los Angeles streaming portal Greenflowermedia in 2016. As a photo artist, he produced the limited-edition macro photo art series The Art of Cannabis, featured in his second book, and he worked on a photo campaign for Sensi Seeds, among other projects.

His work has received positive reviews and attention worldwide. Marincolo has been featured as a guest on various radio shows and podcasts, including Aidan McCullen’s podcast The Innovation Show, Joe Dolce’s podcast Brave New Weed, and the BLUNTNESS magazine, which published an Ebook on his work in 2021.

To finance his research he worked as a photographer and writer for over 25 years and as a creative director and communications consultant for over ten years, primarily for foundations. In 2017, he took the position of Director of Communications and Marketing Germany for one of the largest cannabis producers in the world for three years. During this time, he helped educate both health professionals as well as the wider public about medical cannabis.

Sebastián Marincolo currently works as a writer and consultant and lives with his family in Eschborn near Frankfurt am Main.
