Im 15 , and when im a grown up i woudnt care if my child smoked pot there and there , same with salvia ... but i would make sure they didnt do anything like coke , meth. etc. as a kid , i only would touch Psychedelics i would never go for speed , crack , coke , heroin , etc... I dont see the point i love seeing things and being in another world though thats why salvia is my way to go.
I looked back and thought about it, and I think I agree. It's better to wait until your older to do salvia. I think it kind of puts you at a distance with everything because you think you've seen these crazy things and things that most teenagers are into seem kind of stupid. It breaks down boundaries of thought that need to build up in order to grow up into a person with a healthy mind, really. I know a kids a few years older then me who've done it and are compeletly fine, but most kids I know who've done salvia are kind of "out there" people.
You're not missing out on anything by waiting a few years to do drugs of any sort. You want deeper insight and understanding about yourself and the world? Fuck, read books. Read lots of books. Talk about them with people you respect. Observe yourself and the world around you, and think about it. Once you've had a lot of practice at the above, you might be ready for drugs. (by "drugs" I mean psychedelics and mj. There's never a good time to start hitting meth or coke.) I started smoking pot at an OK age/maturity level (around 17 yrs old) but started taking psychs (acid/shrooms) too young (at 18). I thought of myself as more mature than most of my peer group, nearly all my friends were older than me, etc., but there was no way I could integrate these strong experiences in a healthy way. The world is a crazy place at the best of times; 18 years old is not the best of times: you're still figuring things out, and will be for a number of years yet. Acid did help me cut through some of the illusions of society in a deep emotional way, but it also left me with illusions of its own making (or my own making) that had to be cut through by stopping. Which left me having to reinvent the world from scratch at a very young age, with not a lot of help. Not the best way to have a basis for building a healthy, stable life.
