In reply to Kay. Hi Kay, thanks for letting us know! The reference paper actually has those percentages so I removed it.

Joe: what dosage and method of ingestion did you use (and what’s your weight)?
Agree with Michael, I’m enjoying the articles, the depth, even when I don’t understand it all. Kudos!!
One proofreading issue: in this article, 3rd paragraph under Positive experiences, you say “62% say..,.. and the remaining 48%…” It must be 62/38, or 52/48.

This is on of the most powerful and unique psychedelics. Every salvia trip is different. The after effects can last up to 24 hours of feeling insightful, calm and happy. A very unique afterglow type of feeling.

The sensations that you feel are unreal. Felt like the walls were closing in on me. My whole body felt like it had zippers. Just unreal sensations. I felt like I was in a movie and I was an actor. Laughing uncontrollably.

The imagery is out of this world. It can be realistic or completely out of this world. Very cartoon like. Felt like I was in a very unique cartoon like world. You kind of are just in the zone in the trip.

It would be wise to have a sitter if you’re out or even alone. It truly is an amazing and enlightening experience that words cannot describe.

Peace and love to all.

I am overdue in thanking whoever puts this material together.
So . . . a sincere “thank you” for compiling and distributing such well-presented information regarding the wealth of substances available to we humans and, in some cases, the rest of the animal kingdom. I don’t like the word “substances”, but the extremely wide range of uses and effects produced makes it difficult to come up with an all-encompassing descriptor. “Substances” is such a dead-sounding word for such powerful and beneficial materials. The ingestion of consciousness-altering foods such as psilocybin containing mushrooms may very well be responsible for our ability to communicate with languages. Such profound consequences deserve a much more colorful and richer word than “substances”, but I can’t come up with one as I write this. It will have to do for now.

These daily newsletters are so well done and so informative! Again, thank you for your excellent work.
