Sumario:This study investigated the contributions of trait dispositional mindfulness and spiritual experience in predicting readiness to change cannabis use. Participants were 157 cannabis users (age range = 17–44 years; mean age = 24.50 years; SD = 4.28). Participants completed the Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale, the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, and the Spiritual Experience Index-Revised. Multiple regressions and correlations were used for data analysis, and the results showed that two dimensions of mindfulness – non-judging of inner experience and non-reactivity, positively predicted the three levels of readiness to change. Spiritual experience has a differential influence on the behaviour; while spiritual support negatively predicted recognition, ambivalence, and taking step, spiritual openness was positively related to the three levels of readiness to change. It was concluded that the utilisation of some mindfulness and spiritual concepts would be of benefit in the rehabilitation of individuals who abuse cannabis.
