Ska Pastora is not a hallucinogen. That is not to say that it does not share some of the
characteristics of class phantastica, it does. But there are also differences. The "true"
hallucinogens all act on the 5-HT2 receptors. While the receptors of diviner's sage have not
been discovered, the experiential evidence points to some new receptor, or to some holographic
inundation of mind. And while many hallucinogens will help one's golf game (or, as Dock Ellis
proved, one's major league pitching), a certain muscular discoordination accompanies the sage
inebriation.
On the Pharmako/Poeia mandala, I put the little leaves on the path between phantastica and
inebriantia, and name itexistentia . By existentia, I do not mean anything Cartesian, nor even
David Bohm's separate-from-self implicate order, but mean that which precedes essence.
It's a personal thing. Existence.
If you can just stop thinking about it.
Salvia divinorum is what you get by crossing an entheogen with an atheist.
Effects:
It's not like being high, it's more like being practical.
