"Salvia divinorum is a psychoactive plant, a member of the sage genus. The plant is grown by the Mazatec indigenous people of the Oaxaca mountains in isolated, moist and secret plots. It has been usedby their shamans for centuries for healing during spirit journeys. The active chemical, Salvinorin A (there are also B and C forms), is unique in that it is antagonist of neuroreceptors largely ignored by other known drugs. It is extremely powerful, but controllable.

A small dose clears the mind and impairscoordination and is useful for meditation or simply being in the world. A large dose may demonstrate that the four dimensional space-time continuum is a wet paint job. Consciousness is retained until the very highest doses, but body control, awareness of externalities, and individual personality disappear at modest ones."

"Perhaps the most mysterious and most poorly understood of the sacred plants are those of the genus Datura and its close relatives. The daturas are a fascinating, yet frighteningly powerful group of plants that have been commonly associated with vague accounts of sorcery and witchcraft from early Sanskrit texts to modern ethnographic accounts. Like other evil-seeming plants of poison likethe opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) and foxglove (Digitalis purpurea), Datura bestows the potential for many medicinal uses.

The name Datura derives from the Sanskrit dhatura or dutra although daturas have been variously known as pricklyburr, thorn-apple, jimsonweed, and devil's weed. The most common Mexican name for the various daturas is toloache or some form thereof, derived from the Aztec toloatzin from the word meaning 'to incline the head.'"

Four dimensions suits me fine, but I dedicate this post to evil-seeming plants, wet paint jobs, and ethnobotanists.
