Smoking weed isn't healthy for your psychological health if you do it frequently, ESPECIALLY if you have anxiety, a history of mental illness, or any predisposition to mental disorders.

Maybe not for you, but I know plenty of friends and family who get by just fine, and cannabis seems to help them a lot. On the flip side, though, I know other friends and family who have seen the dark side of cannabis and get anxiety from it, or get so addicted to the point that they steal and lie to obtain it. It's all subjective and perhaps some people are more disposed to problems.

Personally I only use it for tripping rarely, 1-2 times every 1-3 years ;-)
but when I trip on it I have never regretted yet, better than any LSD or mushroom trip sometimes
you remember the trip for a lifetime
some of my best trips, if not the best trip has been a salvia trip (and done LSD/mushrooms a lot)
always used a sitter though, can be dangerous without a sitter
if you want a different trip, that is very psychedelic then salvia can be good it is just so intense I dont feel like smoking for another 2-3 years
still like mushrooms/LSD better... but salvia can be just as enjoyable for me if that makes sense ;-) they can all be nice trips with nothing missing it feels like
the only thing missing from a salvia trip is not being able to take a walk in nature like on LSD/mushrooms so I do that before/after the trip

Man no offence but salvia isn't great.
That's just my experience with it but damn brother why the salvia?
It's too intense for me and not euphoric. Your experience may vary though.

Because drug induced euphoria on psychedelics is not always the cats meow.

I dont need euphoria to trip
my thoughts are my euphoria, can take me any place I want if I dont fear
LSD often has more euphoria than mushrooms IME, but does that mean LSD is better than mushrooms? no
actually after trying both I think I might prefer the mushroom, due to the randomness of the trip and afterglow
it is the same with salvia... very unpredictable... perfect
who wants a psychedelic that is predictable everytime? I like my trips different each time in same setting

Mushrooms can make you gay but LSD seems to really have that intense euphoria I have never felt from any other psychedelic.

Salvia for me is not about euphoria, its like being violently transported to another dimension. Not for the faint of heart. I find it spiritual and not something to be smoked regularly for enjoyment like pot. That being said when I come to from a salvia trip im usually on the ground drooling on myself from laughing so hard. I've only smoked extracts though, pure salvia leaf sound intriguing.

I don't have anxiety and I abuse cannabis heavily, and also abused synthetic noids for a couple years.

No, Little Jimmy sounds like a bitch.

This should be in the Websters dictionary under salvia

>have anxiety

You know what grinds my gears, this trend where people claim, in the first person, to "have anxiety" as though anxiety is an illness or a condition, rather than an emotion/feeling. You don't heard people say they "have happy" or "have tired" do you?
It's:
"I am tired" "I am happy"; and "I am anxious"
Everybody HAS these emotions so it goes without saying that you "have" them.
You can say: "Smoking cannabis makes me feel anxious." "Speaking in public makes me feel anxious." "Sometimes I feel anxious for no reason."
BUT NOT "I HAVE ANXIETY"

this. if a drug works, and you take it daily, you're throwing off homeostasis. there's no way of getting around it
