Apparently sage (salvia officinalis) contains thujone, which is hallucinogenic. I was wondering if anyone knew anything or if it is possible to trip off it. I can't find any accounts on the internet so i assume that it is impossible.
apparently the thujone found in sage is alpha-, and the thujone found in wormwood (one of the "main" ingredients in the liquer absinthe) is the beta- form of the molecule (or vice-versa; it's been a while)... so the ummm pharmacological effects are different... that said, even inhaling cooking spice sage aroma/fumes can cause some people to feel a mild high... (i think some folks stuff little herbal pillow full of sage leaf... & i hear that hops, & many other herbs, can work that way as well) and sagespice is used medicnally... (& sage spice is a strong flavor & aroma, but nowhere near as horribly bitter as the wormwood (wormwood has lots of other chemicals in it as well, very very bitter)... & there are some other botanical sources of thujone(s) (Arbor vitae?)...) ~ of course, other species of sage (cooking sage is Salvia officinalis) have other chemicals in them...
So want are you saying You can Get High off it,Please Give Me some English Over here? Thank you please
not very high at all... (prolly some sorta FAQ or article on the sage family over at www.entheogen.com )
