If you're looking for a religous experience, insightfulness or the keys to the universe - go get a Bible - stop this rediculous defense of your personal hallucinations. If it is medicinal, then let it be controlled and monitored.
The fact remains that each and every person reacts differently to each and every herb or drug. I for one, have found that marijuana has greatly benefitted me with various medical issues, especially depression. On the other-hand Salvia posed a severe and potentially grave danger to me and perhaps others.
On the flip side - Salvia may be good for you and marijuana may make you hallucinate.
Just the same way peanuts, for instance, could be extremely beneficial to some and may cause another to die.
It's always a crap shoot.
I went to a store on Long Island looking for an herbal tea or extract that would be calming to me. I was seeking something I read about called "Avena Sativa". I was recommended (by what I thought was a knowledgeable store-owner)a product called "Salvia", which I know only to be an herbal plant. You can smoke it, drink it or eat it. I figured I would try it and would smoke it.
I went home and smoked a very small amount. Within 30 seconds, I was hallucinating, I could not find my body-parts - meaning I perceived my arms & legs had disappeared from my body & I had to look for them. The tv was on and, either I melded into the set or the people on tv came right out of the set and began to speak to me. A mosquito approx. 40' tall was after me. I was thrown into a 3rd dimension.
It lasted only a few minutes, yet I last remember sitting in my living room and was flabbergasted to find myself outside my home - hallucinating. I hope my neighbors did not see me, because I have no idea what else I did.
After I stopped hallucinating (tripping) and experiencing an altered state of reality, I looked on line to see what in the world I was given.
Salvia is similar to LSD and kids all over (see YOUTUBE.com) are buying it legally from local shops and "tripping" their faces off. It is legal.
I can't comprehend how marijuana is illegal, but this crazy stuff is not.
Please alert your readers to this, new type of high. If I would have smoked a little more, I am sure I would have either walked in traffic (not realizing I was doing so), or killed someone. Who the hell knows what could have happened - especially me. I cannot tell you what may have happened - because, well, um, hello, I was HALLUCINATING!
