One thing I have noticed is that if I miss a dose I quickly become extremely depressed and zoned. Anyone else have this?

[Green2Herman]

You could get that effect. Now I dont know how fast you are talking about, but if it is fast as say < 3 - 4 hours you might think about increasing the dose a bit.

[JRL]

That's what I was thinking

The very best thing for depression is salvia divinorum. What you want is a dose below a tripping dose. Just enough that you feel a mild buzz for a few minutes. I can get probably 10 doses from a gram of leaf. I use plain but potent leaf and have a lifetime supply. After about an hour you feel 100% better. The benefits last for up to a couple weeks though some people need it every day. It increaces dreaming as well. LW was a big fan of it. Most people I tell about it won't even try it. Too bad because it works great.

    Awwwright!   Someone else has finally rung in on what I have been harping about for years.....   I totally agree with Stoney in that you only need a sub-journey amount to experience the benefits...   I normally just roll up a small joint of Sally and take three or four hits.  This gives me better results than either the horrible Zoloft took years ago, or, the pretty effective Buproprion I dicontinued because Sally is just as effective by herself.............  All Hail The Green Godess ------------  sal

Well I am gonna have to try that!!

[Avery L. Breath]

Huh......... interesting.  I kinda lost interest in salvia years back, except intellectually and every now and then.  Am gonna have to look into that a little more closer now.  Didn't know people where hyping it's anti-depression properties.   Am kinda skepticle of stuff like that ever since my failed daily mushroom diet.

[dergheist]

I also agree with stoney.  LW loved the stuff and it is the only entheogen I care to or do.  She can be a life saver when used correctly and with the right person for the right reasons.

PS please come back LW!!! A lot of us miss ya here. :cry:

[JRL]

tried salvia last night, worked as advertised.

[dergheist]

Glad you liked her.  I find she always made me happy for a long time after I did her.  Like I said she just likes to be used for the right reasons.

just a quick note: SJW will cause birth control pill to be metabolised faster and thus the pill may become ineffective...
jus a lil side point to mention..

on sally, have noticed a nice glow after use, same sorta thing as other psychadelics are said to have... i think tho, it looks like sally has the benefit of more frequent usability w/out any great mal-effects to health or mind..

[senorsalvia]

Great to hear you were gifted with good health bro JRL ---  I just get such a charge out of hearing of other peoples success with the (IMHO) literal healing properties of Sally....    I also agree with vis that Salvia does indeed seem to offer benefit as far as usuage and toxicity parameters go......         "Dance Green Damsel Dance -------- sal

[JRL]

Yeah man. It really feels like an allie in the truest sense of the word.
Just smoked twice in two days and i feel better then i have since I don't know when.

I really feel a presence there. Green godess indeed. Praise nature, this sure is a mysterious universe we dwell in.

[Stonehenge]

Yeah, sally is great. It just amazes me though how many people won't even try it. I've been preaching sally for quite a while now and have won only a handful of converts. Once they try it, they are sold on it. It's just hard as hell to get most people to try. Soon as they hear the word "hallucinogen" they won't touch it with a 10' pole. Even depressed stoners sometimes won't try it. They tell me they "know" it won't work. Loser attitudes like that would give anyone depression.

If I was seriously depressed, and all depression is serious, I'd sure try it. Being depressed takes away enjoyment of life. People kill themselves over depression but they won't try sally, most of them. What is that saying?: you can lead a horse to water...

[JRL]

It really seems to be working, and the effect lasts.  I bet when the big drug companys figure this out their lobbyists will get busy.
