Thriftbooks has generally gotten worse since ownership taken over

At least 50% of my orders are incorrectly described. Also, as a high tier member, I use to get amazing deals and now the deals are few and usually crap like, purchase 5+ books and get 200 points, where 5 books would have been 45-75 dollars is now 150+. And all the saved under 7 dollar books and dvds I had were increased to over 8 dollars so I cannot use free book rewards. I use to have 250+ things saved under 7 bucks and about 95% were increased to over 8 dollars.

Sage extract || Rosemary extract?

I'm trying to figure out why your Sage was the only herb that consistently induced lucid dreaming. Potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors have not come close to inducing these profound effects.

I thought it might be Rosmarinic acid, but I'm not so sure now, as taking any dose of Lemon Balm doesn't affect my dreams/recall at all.

Now I'm thinking it's possibly a synergy between Thujone, Roamarinic acid and Carnosic acid (perhaps also rosmanol, epirosmanol).

Rosemary seems to contain all the same chemicals as sage where Lemon balm does not.

Carnosic acid is a Nrf2 activation, and mild acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. I have no idea the mechanisms of action of Carnosol, Rosmanol, Epirosmanol, Methyl carnosate, Rosmadial and Isorosmanol.

Carnosic acid is unusual because it's considered a pro-electrophilic compound: it becomes more active under conditions of oxidative stress and can modulate several signaling pathways simultaneously.
