its really hard to use as a tool for exploring because unlike with any other psychedelics ive tried where you have time to grasp whats going on as it builds up, with salvia you're there before you even have time to exhale. it's insane. and as soon as youre there you dont anything from your previous life. at least i didnt it took me a while before i even knew who or what i was. it slowly came back to me, i started to remember where i was, my name , then i would forget all of it again, then it would come back and repeat until it wore off. you have to be prepared its not like anything you've tried, because it has no chemical relation to any other psychedelics. most psychedelics have something to do with nitrogen, salvia doesnt at all. it's in the mint family where there are no known intoxicating plants except for this. sp prepare yourself before you try it, but dont go into it scared, or you could mess up.
