After a quarter of a century exploring drugs these are my 5 tenets to eliminating depression and using drugs to find eternal peace of mind and happiness 24/7.

1) Take your gut microbiome seriously - eat lots of kefir yoghurt and probiotics - big effect on your mood surprisingly enough

2) For older men this one really - over 45 or older - testosterone replacement therapy - another big effect on your mood. Hormones can affect depression every bit as much as any neurotransmitter. And throw in some pregnenolone.

3) Psilocybin - as big as dose as you can to reset your default mind network

4) Rick Simpson Oil - Gods secret sauce - the key to eternity.

5) Exercise and eat healthy.

That's what I've learned in a nutshell.
 
I say, yoga or tai chi, and meditation daily,
LSD mini doses (or mushrooms) (every 3 or 4 days) for energy and brightness,
and salvia divinorum as often as you can bear (daily or every other day) to connect with what is.
Eat what seems right, rest when tired, be gentle.
and breathe.
 
Wow @pupnik do you consume salvia daily or every other day? You don't hear about a lot of people who keep coming back to salvia like that so it's very interesting.

As I've gotten older I think the common denominator is getting exercise - a lot more than most people get, and a lot more than what most people think is normal - eating well, sleeping well. Drinking less booze, no tobacco. Personally I think I'd be better off tripping a little more often than I do. It can be hard to make the time in between work, family, and doing healthy stuff, but I always gain so much perspective, centering, growth when I do make the time for it.
 
I think pupnik casually uses salvia and probably pushes the envelope for breakthrough more than others as well...I recall someone who would smoke a bit of leaf or extract in a weed pipe; goal for this is to have an altered experience but not..well ya know breakthrough scare you shirtless EVERYTIME or bring you to another dimension.

If I am wrong my fault.

But anyhow I'm about to Google it but what is this Rick Simpson oil all abouts?
 
I'm not sure if this journal stuff is readable here but this link is about my salvia use
I actually use extract on cig paper.
I could say it cuts out 20 minutes of a day, but produces a realignment somewhere between astonishing and merely positive.
normally I am in the bath when I do it so that 20 minutes is double booked.
exercise is more than 20 minutes, and meditation is double that.
When I think of it that is a huge effort just to feel normal, hahahaha!
 
I found 3 different things caused me depression - gut,hormones and brain chemistry. So I treat each cause.

First psychedelic i tried. Daniel sieberts essence - "an extraordinary potion of enchantment". Really, really strong mouth-blistering alcohol with the "essence of the temptress". I always felt myself going down into a never-ending privet hedge before coming to rest as a child beside a red telephone box.

I don't know if I was more disappointed or relieved when I saw the time gap between your first and second posts and realized that you had not been keeping a daily salvia diary for the last 18 years but you've given me a real interest in revisiting the substance either way. Thank you for sharing.

Yeah, there are some of us that like Salvia. And I knew Pupnik and Kaleida are both the only ones I was able to have dialogue with as most people are scared of it. Salvia can be a beautiful healing plant. Granted, I only get to it about three times a year in the last few years, I’ll set aside the time just like I set aside the time for DMT.

I guess I’m surprised so many people got scared off. But I say the same thing that I say about DMT. Start slow, work your way up and get a little used to the headspace. I’ve had many beautiful healing trips. Since I never use things like ketamine, I guess this is the only dissociative/psychedelic that I use.

Plain leaf and a tobacco pipe is just fine. I do not even recommend extracts unless you really know how to convert. Silent darkness is the only setting that I can do that in. But boy does she come out in a happy way and entertain me as if I was a long lost friend that had not been seen in a while

I've smoked the extract (20x or 50x in a pipe usually) maybe somewhere between a dozen and 20 times in my late teens and early 20s and it was always a positive experience. I did see someone freak out on it once which I think turned me off a bit but the main reason I haven't crossed paths with it since is it was banned I just kind of forgot it existed.

Even now I can remember a couple of times where I've just experienced this moment of clarity in the midst of whatever salvia is. Indescribable clarity just like "oh right of course the universe makes perfect sense" if only for that moment.

And this is when I was 20 and smoking it for a buzz because I was bored. I'm nearly 20 years stupider now so I'd be really interested to see where it might end up taking me if used with intent.
 
I don't really get the intent thing, but I do get the relax while opening up to the moment, or opening and letting go, or not clamping down on any particular train of thought, and allowing the perceptions to be as they come and just breathing through.
So,
Now it is 8 minutes after, by 3 minutes the main sensation was of a sandwich with dark green candy or clear icing being held together by my arm pits.
then it seemed that the elbows what were resting on my desk where supporting hundreds of body and leg forms that were hanging below the desk.
This was fine, and not as much as a challenge as I thought while it was happening and while I was being challenged by it at the same time.

So 10 minutes later and
I guess the day begins.

the bath is good, the desk is fine. just don't try to do it while driving.
 
Damn, I haven't had salvia in forever. It was the first non-conventional recreational drug I'd tried, except for cannabis, but I hadn't managed to properly smoke the cannabis and get high by that point. I was pretty impressed by where I got with 6X leaf, and I didn't find the experiences feeling threatening.

Contrast with serotonergic psychedelics which gave me a rough ride the first few times, but the afterglows were so good that I kept going back. I didn't notice much afterglow with salvia, but perhaps others do? Hell, I had a lot of trouble with cannabis once I figured out how to smoke it right and preferred salvia until I "learned" cannabis, after which I also noticed decent afterglows from the cannabis and started using it regularly.
 
I like your overall points alot, follow almost everyone one them myself!

If i could add one thing it would be to experiment with low doses of Amanita Muscaria!

I pick a batch every year and it has really helped clean up my overall life.
The effects from doing 1-3grams (decarbed) a few times per week is mindblowing.

Maybe intent is the wrong word. Or maybe not. What I mean is that the last time I smoked salvia was 15 years ago and on those occasions I was doing so with the explicit intention of getting high and pursuing a recreational experience. I was trying to pass time in the absence of booze or weed.

Now, I would like to try it with zero intentions or expectations and see what I see, and from there try and determine whether salvia is something that can be incorporated into my lifestyle in a healthy way and whether doing so would improve my general outlook and quality of life.

The irony I suppose being that in trying to avoid intentions and expectations I am in fact setting them.

:unsure:

@Shinji Ikari the last part of the extraction uses naptha, not acetone, there is an error in my extraction notes at shroomery, Sphere had typed it up and performed it. and I have not been in touch with him for decades. hahaha, but acetone will definitely get salvinorin from the leaves, leaving a green black gummy substance that is ~30% pure - getting to the white crystal requires naptha separation from the chlorophyl and a final acetone wash and evaporation (in a few iterations)

however, you can certainly smoke the black gummy substance, or use some acetone or alcohol to spread it on marijuana or something - even cigarette paper.

'breathe' no shit. I'd never have thought of that
 
not thinking about it makes breathing (or anything else) disappear into the noise of everything that does not pop out at you.
