I have access to salvia and plan to try it soon...

Ive read that it can cause a dissociative effect, which im not worried about in and of itself;

I dont see dissociation itself as an issue, as its just a symptom of stress (in a sober person at least). And experiencing dissociation isnt harmful

I'm mostly concerned if it could trigger ptsd, since dissociation is related. And also because other substances can bring up anxiety, or panic, or other strong emotions

I've had weed trigger flashbacks in the past, which, while it was unpleasant, I think it was ultimately for the best bc it gave me a better understanding of my situation ig. (Although I was caught off guard because i didnt realise weed could do that)

So Im not going to be completely put off if there is a risk with salvia, but I'd also like to be aware. I havent been able to find much on this sub or online but i haven't looked that deeply either

Has anyone had experience with Salvia triggering ptsd? Or if you've heard about it from other people or etc. Or if u have any other ideas or thoughts i guess go ahead

Recently acquired some salvia d plants (legal in my country interestingly) I havent tried it before either smoking or quidding. Im looking to have a mild experience since im not experienced with psychedelics. I plan to work my way up from there depending on how it goes

I hear salvia tea isnt that strong, but thats what i want initially. But some ppl say tea doesnt do anything at all. I dont rlly want to use leaves if it wont do anything, but its also a renewable resource so maybe it doesnt matter that much

Does anyone have experience with salvia tea? Im interested to hear abt it. Also maybe how many leaves were used, fresh or dried, etc. Or any info can be good
