There's nothing scarier to me than crossing over on salvia except maybe death, surgery, or flying. it seems like a ridiculous idea to cross over again. from what i've read, it takes a lot of build up to ever hope to maintaining some sort of control over the experience.
so it's scary. as hell.
it's also kind of life changing.
i'm not one of those blaise-pascal motherfuckers who has a hallucinogenic experience and starts freaking out by the supernatural. i'm with the Buddha on this one, anyway. there's no such thing as supernatural. if it is natural, it exists as such.
but i AM saying that the experience was ground-shaking for me, and it threw a tilt on everything i assumed about reality. no doubt, everything was going on in the brain, but oh the things... the horrors and the beautiful things. the conversations. waking up more than once in more than one place. everything you thought about hallucinogens when you were a kid, and more. if you break through, you absolutely end up Someplace Else, perception wise.
Anyway, I want to go back in. But I want people to go in with me. Not at the same time, i mean. but i want people to experience this amazing thing, this thing that you cannot understand until you have done it (yes, it sounds like the matrix, but reality isn't anything as simple as that.)
anyway, it would be nice if one could gather a bunch of like-minded psychonauts ready to jump through the doors of perception. I've never done DMT, and although I've heard it compared, it doesn't seem quite the same. on DMT, i've been told, you feel like "god" or "everything" or whatever. the sage plant doesn't give you such a powerful perception. you may at one point feel like the greatest being in the universe, but you will also feel folded up and stuffed away to be forgotten.
you will come out of it thinking you're dying. almost certainly.
it would be great to maybe even write a book on the plant, since none really exist. certainly, it wouldn't help the legality, but they're gonna ban it everywhere anyway, and it's real easy to cultivate, so they can't stop it.
maybe this is supposed to be my life's work. maybe i could get a grant.
(i should also note that some people have absolutely wonderful "trips" (i don't like that word; this isn't acid or mushrooms) and it is almost impossible to tell who will and who won't.)

You've read Cicero. That's cool. I haven't read Cicero since high school when I took Latin so I'll be damned if I remember anything.
I have never tried salvia though people I knew at one time used to talk about it. I have had life altering experience on mind altering substances though that I am convinced changed me forever though.
