I know what you’re thinking–I’m thinking it as well. “What the? But how? No fucking way!” Thanks to the internet, I have managed to find what can only be regarded as a mind blowing proposition: salvia as medicine. If you never smoked salvia then check out my essay, The Salvia Chronicles, but if you have experienced salvia, then you are just as baffled as I am right now.
SalviaSociety.org is a website that deals with everything salvia, and that includes the potential health benefits of using salvia. According to their site, salvia has the potential to treat the following problems:
- Depression
- Drug Addictions
- Stress
- Insomnia
- Digestion
- Alzheimer’s
- AIDS
- Chronic Pain
- Schizophrenia
- Cancer
- And many others
