Really odd to see you promoting Salvia, one of the psychedelics with the worst (and deserved) reputations imaginable. I know you give you passing warning of it being "scary as hell", but that's probably not a strong enough of a warning.

- palimpsests 8y agoThis bad reputation is usually based on people's experiences of consuming this through smoking the leaves. This can be and often is very intense, intensely psychedelic, and deeply terrifying. The traditional way to consume this medicine is orally - through chewing on the leaves or taking a tincture. The onset is much slower and gentler, and provides ample space and time for the some incredible visionary experiences to open and unfold in a much safer container.
- pantalaimon 8y agoI don't know, I always found it to be an interesting experience too. The effects are very much unlike other psychedelics indeed and I can see how they can be terrifying for some - it might feel as if your body is being controlled by another entity and you are just an observer, watching. The shift in perception can be pretty dramatic too! This is probably depending on the dose. I've never tried more than 20x extract mixed with leaves. There are much stronger concentrate, I can see how those would be terrifying if you didn't know what to expect.
