Peter Addy: Therapeutic Potential of the Plant Salvia Divinorum

[@joey9621]

Guys... This is very real.. It's the most meaningful 5-10 min lesson life could give you.. it showed me my greatest fear and cured my deepest curiosity.. more meaningful than all seminars I've ever done in my life combined... I've helped four of my closest friends through their journey and they couldn't be more happy... Especially because I recorded their trips with their device to study it later. Greatest gift ever... Almost like you getting shown the secret of reality..

@@davidd9325 For the first time I would recommend: x5 or X10.. Most important is your tripsitter, someone you can trust and won't make fun out of you... Because.... You will go..and there is no turning back for 10 min to 15 min. (Someone who shuts up and let you trip without laughing). Good luck! Be safe and choose your sitter wisely 👍🏾.

@@davidd9325 you got to quid it, ma man! A whole mouth full. Chew for 15 minutes. Then spit it out. Chew a second mouthful if desired. You'll be in for a good hour or so. Smoking it is ridiculous imho🤦🏽‍♂️.

I use salvia as my reset/reboot button, it's like being switched off and on again. If used wisely, salvia can help you analyse and fix your sub-conscious which in turn seeps through to your conscious thoughts.

Tbh. Salvia scared the shit out of me. Even in small doses it makes me severely uneasy. From what I can recall of my most profound experience with it I was completely absent the 3D world I was physically in, i noticed an extremely rapid "beat" which I believe was my processing of moment to moment changes. I realized that this beat goes forward until I seize to exist. Then I contemplated my none existence and became terrified. Since then I have experimented with all sorts of other substances. I have not done pure DMT, but have done Aya which was beautiful. I no longer believe in the possibility of non-existence. I believe we are eternal, as we are.

I've found that when administered with the intention to decrease anxiety or fear, in anticipating unfamiliar, disassociating fluctuations in awareness, restfully positioned, surrounded with the most complexly biodiverse, lush & healthy, peaceful, secluded park-like setting with clear view of the sky to achieve best results. PEACE!!!

[@creditrepairwizards]

turning to your God, reading his word and giving him thanks and praise has the same effect.

[@normanspurgeon5324]

Am I correct that Peter has no experience taking the plant? I've read that the Indians had a tradition of chewing the leaves. This yields profoundly different results that of smoking them, or as Peter terms it, inhaling. I would never recommend to anyone to smoke it. It's utterly "divine," as the term implies, when chewed. All of the best things in life will be apparent to you, for a brief period of time. As stimulating physically as 2 cups of coffee. Complete recuperation in 1 and a half hours.

[@WTFSt0n3d]

i think the reason he never used it himself is so people can't come and simply dismiss him as some stoner saying he has seen the light. he is simply an objective researcher that gathers the information. and as he said in this talk they never had a bad trip. i've seen a lot of bad trip don't do salvia videos on youtube. what i noticed most is that people with bad trips either had some problems in their life they weren't dealing with, they took way too high dosage and/or they would resist the path the plant gave them. but i'm with you. you should stick to the tradition with plants like these. as they say. don't burn mary.

Salvia pretty much ruined my life. I was 16. The irony of the radio playing Chester's "Crawling" the first time then "One Step Closer" the second time alone was enough to completely tweak me out. The whole experience though was insanely intense, a living nightmare. The echo of the experience has continuously traumatized me for the past 24 years.

[@ADAMBLVCK]

Time to go back in with some respect and openness, unless of course you're living a path presented by some major religion.

20 plus years JTF2, and everyone of my mates has suffered some type of PTSD. I tried smoking very HIgh potency level Salvia and fiund it too be very psychedelic ; literally watching my skin melt. I tied a lower level potency and I ended up having the strongest erection I have ever had. It was absolutely amazing

[@Ghost-gf4yd]

Thank you for your service

I've been smoking it regularly for 15-20 years now. I'd love to talk to you Peter :)

[@totodile493]

As a STEM student, I can attest that a dose salvia divinorum provides a therapeutic feeling, like a general contentment. It isn't like a "wired" feeling, but a fulfilling feeling.

[@jotcw81]

orally or inhaled?

Yep. It decreases

[@NightOwlGames]

is salvia a near death experience? FEELS like it, i mean after taking it i honestly thought i was dead and travelling to heaven but i wasnt allowed in got sent back the ride back was rough it was like a rollercoaster ride i felt G-force, if where i went was heaven then no need to worry about death the place i was shown was peaceful.

[@guyphamus14]

At 16:30 he is acting a lot like someone on a low does of Salvia (orally) or a comedown from a normal dose (inhaled). He seems to be trying to break the wall and get the words out, which is something I have witnessed and experienced almost every time I experimented with Salvia. Is it possible he has a small oral dose in for the lecture?
