i never tried salvia, but i did try the amanita mushrooms after reading mushrooms and mankind by james arthur. he was the most knowledgeable ethnomycologist around until he died/killed in prison (another story).

i actually experienced an OBE from trying the mushrooms. a friend didnt get anything from it, but when he took a 1/4, he had the same experience.

look around online for a vendor (e.g. iamshaman) after youve decided if theyre okay for you... check out erowid as well and read up on some of the experiences. theyre legal. i tried the grade A siberian amanitas. the pantherina species were sold out.

theyre not like psilocybe at all... non-hallucinogenic and not nearly as potent and intense. youll get drowsy and want to lie down. i lied down and fell asleep but wasnt asleep at all. thats when it happened.

arthur, by the way, did his research and came up with the 4 items needed for the religious experience: amanitas, psilocybe, syrian rue, and opium. you can read the whole story in his book, but in a nutshell, a UFO came down and he talked to aliens.

oh... theres other shamanistic herbs to try. theres a dream herb, calea, that supposedly enhances ones dreams.


again, im not promoting anything. do some investigation and decide for yourself.
happy researching!
