RE: Salvia Divinorum on the Adolescent Mind:
I tried smoking Salvia divinorum at the age of 15. I only did it once, but that was all I ever needed to do again. After I took the hit I held it in for a good 30 seconds. My reality around me started to morph and I got pulled in a downward motion into a world made of Legos. There were giant ones little ones all different colors, and all different types of geometric Legos. It felt as if I was there for eternity but in reality I was only there for about 12 minutes. I experience was so reality dissolving, and it took me many many years afterwards to understand what happened to me. I would say it was a positive experience looking at it now, but at the time I know I was way too young to understand what I was doing and it freaked me out. Some of these psychedelic drugs can be a positive in ones life, but nowadays, people treat psychedelics as a fun thing to do. I believe they are tools for Humanity and you must learn how to use these tools and above all else you must respect them.
That is pretty interesting, a lego world. I find it fascinating that, at the least, our minds have this ability to have such experiences. I truly find this reality remarkable. I would have commented sooner however, I was researching the founders of this platform Steemit and read the whitepaper. Steem is a joke. Some day someone will build a real version of this and not make it prone to hyper-inflation and won't be run by scammer-con-artist-tyrants. Take care Nick!
