pretty cool!\nwhen i tried it the first time i didn't really feel much, but then it felt like reality was changing and the overhead lamp was beaming light onto me, making me sweat and foring me to tkae off my clothes.  one of my friends thought that the xbox was a spaceship landing strip and he tried landing on it.\n\nhallucinations aside, the laughing fits are amazing.  i've never laughed so hard, without any reason

Probably the same effects, just longer to "hit". You can go to www.erowid.com and maybe there's some info on that. Anyway, you shouldn't touch devil's candy, just check out the streets of SF in some places and you'll see what I mean.

Look up Ibogaine.  For treatment of withdrawals from meth,horoine, etc I know someone who took it.  It is a hallucinagin (sp) but is non addicting.  It can be purchased in Canada.  I have witnessed someone trying the treatment.  In fact, last week.\n\nBy the way, good luck.  I believe you are not exagerating when you call it torment.

I've acually taken it about 5 times, 2 of which were really extacy.. the other 3 times I think were like a placebo pill (fake) Have you ever heard the high of extacy is called "rolling" I never knew why untill I actually felt my eyes rolling back & wiggleing... then I knew i had some good stuff.... I never felt sexual, i think it was because there wasn't anyone around i wanted to fell that way with... I did feel really happy and concerned for everyone else, asking if they were haveing a good time... massages feel great... please please only do it with good friends you trust, not just at some party... also make sure you have at least one sober person, that's the type of drug that will have you go bizurk... don't mix it with anything else not weed, coke,alcohol nothing!!!!! Please trust me on that.. also drink plenty of water... I really like doing extacy but I had to lose my connects # because you can become addicted...  it's that good. and again make sure you your buying it from you truct because there are alot of people who will just take your money

I actually have my son on it right now.  Yes, I think it's working.  It's NOT going to replace an anti-depressant but if you need a little help dealing with stress it can do wonders.  I didn't tell him what it was but he noticed a difference in just a couple of weeks.  \n\nI started taking it and noticed a difference in less time  than that.  I started taking it to deal with some added stress that left me with symptoms of chronic fatigue and find that while I didn't actually notice it so much while taking it, I noticed a real drop in my overall mood after about a week of not taking it.  By constast, St. John's Wort didn't work for me AT ALL.\n\nIt's not a miracle by any means, but I'd recommend it.

I started taking it recently and I've gotta say that John indeed deserves his sainthood for discovering the beneficial properties of this herb.  I noticed a difference the first day, enough so that I kept on taking it...and I'm not one to take medicine either.\n\nI've noticed zero side effects, only positive attributes associated with it, my only regret being that I waited this long to try it. I certainly won't stop taking it in the near future either as this is the best I've felt in some years.  Good luck and I hope it works for you as well.

In you opinion\nwould buy many people it if it there was a similar (natural) substitute???\nThat is sufficient to let you realize that any other information will be untrue.\nSome herbal products increase a bit the lust or stamina only. Nothing more and nothing less.

Sounds interesting. Should I try it?

I highly doubt it, it would be cost ineffective and very poor coverage.\n\nWhy even fool w/shrooms anyway, the cops are a hassle. \n\nCheck this out!\n\nSAGE GODDESS EMERALD ESSENCE : is an extraordinary potion of enchantment. One of the finest Salvia divinorum preparations ever created, it engenders profound experiences that enrich and nurture mind and spirit. As a tool for exploring the psyche it can provide access to fresh, often startling, insights into the nature of consciousness, reality, perception, and the fundamental mysteries of existence.\nA Sage Wisdom Salvia Shop exclusive. This ultra-concentrated tincture of Salvia divinorum has been carefully prepared using a unique new separation process developed by Daniel Siebert. This innovative process selectively extracts and concentrates a group of natural leaf components that enhance the solubility and absorption of the active principal, salvinorin A. All intermediary extraction solvents have been completely removed so that the finished product contains nothing but premium grade Salvia divinorum, grain alcohol and water. \n\n \n\nThis specially prepared extract is designed for sublingual absorption. The duration and quality of the experience is equivalent to that obtained using traditional Mazatec methods of oral ingestion, but it is far easier to consume and the level of effects achieved is more consistent and reliable. Many people consider this type of experience more productive and rewarding than that of smoked Salvia divinorum because the effects are gentler and considerably longer lasting.\n\nThe first effects begin 4-8 minutes after the initial dose is ingested. The strength of the effects gradually increase over the next 4-5 minutes, reaching a plateau that lasts 20-30 minutes, then gradually tapering off over another 1½-2½ hours. By using multiple doses, the duration of both the plateau and the entire experience can be increased. If the effects begin to diminish sooner than you would like, you can use booster doses to extend the experience.\n\nMild doses reduce extraneous mental activity and calm the mind; many people find that low doses are quite valuable as an aid to meditation and introspection. Mild doses also increase sensual awareness and can have aphrodisiac effects. A moderate dose produces a gentle expansion of consciousness that is useful for inner-journeying and self-exploration; this can also have an extraordinary memory enhancing effect that can provide access to incredibly detailed memories stretching back into early childhood (clearly this has therapeutic potential). Strong doses alter the fabric of consciousness profoundly, producing rich inner-visions and inspiring insight. Very strong doses can totally immerse one in a visionary world and can propel consciousness into the far reaches of transdimensional/transpersonal space.

Santeria is interesting stuff, i am not fluent in spanish, so i could only pick up a little at the local botanica.  But trance possession by the Orisha is some pretty intense stuff! It is NOT mumbojumbo... it is a real way to connect with the divinity and with the ancestors, once you are "ridden" you will understand what i am talking about....

I am not aware of any law prohibiting the sale of Salvia to minors.  Smoking laws pertain to the sale and use of tobacco only, so unless there is some actual specific clause on Salvia I don't see how it would apply.  \n\nAs for using Salvia, the only way to get a decent effect is to concentrate it.  This is very easy to do.  Purchase about an ounce of salvia and crush about 3/4 of the amount and place in a metal pan.  Then use a paint thinner (not joking... I know it sounds crazy... but it works best) and pour it over the salvia.  You want just enough liquid to cover all the salvia.  Let the thinner sit for a bout a day, but don't allow it to evaporate.  Now get another container and put the remaining salvia in it.  Pour the liquid thinner that has been sitting on salvia over this fresh batch of salvia.  Place a fan over the tray and run it on low speed and keep lots of fresh air around.  Basically you want to evaporate all the thinner off the new salvia.  When it is all gone (a day or two) collect the smaller amount of salvia and make sure it is dry.  This is your finished product and you can smoke this.  Discard the larger first portion (as it is useless now).\n\nWhile this sounds like it posses health risks (which it does) there are no immediate or massive risks involved.  The finished product will be Salvia that is much stronger than its natural state and this way you will be able to experiance the effects much better.  Also note Salvia is not an alternative to other drugs, and generally you won't want to do it very often.  It isn't a party drug and I suggest only using it with one or two people around you.  It is also best to have at least one person watching you while you trip because during this time you will be completly out of concsious reality... so you should have a spotter.  The trip only lasts for a minute or two at best.

Yes i have tried it. Its ok for a little while but i wasnt impressed with it. It also dried out on my head. I mean if you want something thats quick to dull the pain try it, or you can just use Migraine Ice, its the same thing to me.

It's delightful, almost always satisfying. Considered a sin by most, if not all, religions, including mine. Can't imagine, however that any of us don't do it. I've never had any ill effects, except when in my teens it became raw and irritated one week from "too much use." \n\nSee the link for some professional info.
