There is NO comparison for SD to mushrooms or mescaline. <g>

See above. I agree. ;-) For me, the two times I tried LSD it was
boring. I like psilocybin. Mescaline tended to make me nauseous and the
high lasts too long. 12 to 14 hours, I'll pass on it. <g>

SD is a "working drug" to most people. It's not recreational. A true
Shamanic type of plant that really does take you out of mind into the
nexus. That's why it scares people. An Erowid poll shows that 85% of
people that try Salvia divinorum never touch it again after the first
real experience because it's so scary.

It is relaxing indeed, but the hallucinations only last 8 to 10 minutes
using 10X, at least for me. But I've not smoked it now for a bit over 4
years.
