Part 4 of 4: Conclusions

This section is based on Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, so it makes sense to read those sections first.

The previous sections discussed a couple of examples of what can happen when you smoke Salvia, but honestly it is almost impossible to predict what any single person’s experience is going to be like.

Part 3 of 4: An Intense Experience

Be sure to read Part 1 and Part 2 before proceeding, and keep in mind that these are my opinions — not facts based on scientific evidence or lab studies.

Part 1 of 4: Introduction

Please Note: Anything written here should be taken as an opinion, not as a fact. I’m not a scientist, researcher, or an expert on Salvia divinorum.

Salvia divinorum is legal in many states in the U.S., but everyone should make sure it is legal where they live before they decide to buy or use the herb. Where I live, it is easy to buy at any local smoke shop. Continue Reading »

According to Nasa.gov, scientists speculate that liquid water lies beneath the rocky surface of Mars.

Many people find it disgusting and impolite to eat fruit if it isn’t alphabetized at some point before it is eaten. Often times grocery stores don’t even have their fruit sections in alphabetical order, so the burden of ordering fruits is left to the consumers. Personally, I find it convenient to store fruit in my refrigerator alphabetically, and to prepare it in alphabetical order just to be safe. Continue Reading »
