Salvia Divinorum & Nightshade. Options

I've heard of people smoking Salvia Divinorum for astral projecting..Since I just ordered my ounce of salvia and it wont be here for a while I'd like to here any experiences anyone has had with Salvia. I've heard that Nightshade can also be used for the same purpose. Anyone experimented with these herbs? I'll have my own experience as reference soon, but I'm like my homeboy Jesus..I like to listen lol. Any other experiences with any other herb is welcomed as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

Greetings Chris!
Yes, I've had experience with Salvia Divinorum. I found that getting the concentrated forms more productive. Salvia has provided me with some very interesting shamanic interludes. I recommend smoking it in a waterpipe as it can be abit harsh. Use a onehit bowl or use only alittle at a time. Take (and hold) about 4-5 good hits. Use dim lighting, candlelight, firelight or no light when using. This will help with the clarity of the vision. You should feel abit funny in your middle chakra whilst your ajna center opens. Don't try to stand up right away. You may get the giggles. My first time allowed me to make acquaintance with the Divinorum plant...an awesome experience. Thetime of being 'high' is rather short...no more than twenty-thirty minutes. It is not, repeat, not overpowering like DMT. It will give you insight and 'happy' type visions...no bummers...but that is really a very subjective thing. You may...I don't. When you try your subsequent uses, you'll notice that they each require abit more...we acclimatize ourselves to it rather quickly so make sure to give yourself time to 'bounce back'.
Maybe we should start a Salvia experience thread to record individuals progress and look for congrueties...? (duh, I guess we ARE!)
I'll not be so helpful with the Nightshade family. Belladonna, Jimsonweed, Woody Nightshade, Devils Trumpet, Henbane, Tobacco, Tomatoes, Potatoes, Stramonium , etc. The active ingredients in these plants are poisonous alkaloids and are one of the leading cause of death amongst those who are looking for a 'high'...they are very dangerous unless you know just how much dosing a person can tolerate. I've found that they can be painful task masters. Use sparingly, if burning them, use ventillation! The safest use is topical in an ungent/ointment (no, not even with babies fat!) rubbed into the skin at the joints or on the wrists and temples (Eko, eko azarack...) In my youth I made a traditional Witches Flying Ointment...*whooosh* These plants are also used in binding magic/charms as well as for their pharmaceutical uses. Study up! They can give you a mean headache if smoked. Though it should be of note that they work synergistically (and potentiate) the effects of marijuana and hashish, two 'vision inducing' products.....
Well, I've rambled too long but I can give you more nitty gritty's on any number of plants that are used shamanically. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/egypt1.gif)
