Salvia Divinorum

[Moonshadow]

I have been using Salvia Divinorum, also called Diviner's Sage, as a way to deal with my PTSD. I have to say, the difference is AMAZING!

For those of you who have not heard of Salvia, try doing a Google search, to find out more about it. It is a hallucinogen, which is legal in most countries/states. I ordered mine online.

The hallucination part can be quite strong, but only lasts for about 5 minutes. The "afterglow" effect, which is a feeling of insight and optimism, lasts for about a week. It's like someone turned the volume down on the PTSD. I feel like I can examine my thoughts rationally, instead of feeling crushed by them.

My therapist was amazed at the difference it has made in me.

If anyone has any questions, regarding my experiences with Salvia, I would welcome a discussion. If anyone has ever tried Salvia, I would be interested to know how it affected you.

Hi Moonshadow,

Can you say more about this? I have heard (more in the 60s-70s probably) that some counselors used hallucinogens to assist in opening up the psyche that the intellect usually protects.

I was always so afraid to try LSD because I felt certain, with my baggage, that I'd have one of those hair-ripping-out, psychotic experiences.

I am open to trying natural hallucinogens (peyote and the like), but have never sought it out. A Navajo friend of mine has gone to the Peyote Church but she said she didn't have any real epiphanies or anything.

Is this Salvia natural or synthetic? How long has it been utilized?

Thanks,
Dylan

I hate to be a downer, again. But worked in drug rehab. If this legal drug is used please follow simple precautions. Have someone with you that you trust to keep you save. Users have walked off cliffs, jumped out windows, and so forth. Not suicidal but to fly. No joke. Be safe.

i have taken a very low dose of magic mushrooms when i was in a very bad way. Worked a treat. So much so my wife/rock said "welcome home love".

I just saw this right at our corner store but I also just watched a Dr. Phil show and he was pretty much against it...it can do awful things to you too, please be careful.

Stuff like this scares me. I can't imagine tripping being useful and safe in the manner suggested - but then again, most regular medications scare me too. So I could be way off.

Either way, before doing something like this, get as much information as possible. It can't hurt, and might help in making the right decision.
