I read that this plant, when smoked, can induce OBE's and mystical experiences. It is used by some to achieve a deeper form of meditation. I've tried it one time and had an incredibly intense experience. In the 5 minutes I was under the influence of Salvia, I felt as though everything I had ever known about myself and the world were just illusions. For that brief amount of time I was "awake" and truely myself and it was a little frightening. Has anyone here ever tried it? If so, I'm very curious to know about other people's experiences with it....
