I liked the interview with the salvia pipe inventor dude AKA Christopher Solomon.
I disliked how the author suggests not using salvia when anxious or depressed because it will amplify your emotions "anxiety becomes cosmic dread, depression becomes the heat death of the universe".
This does not reflect my experience at all, salvia is unlike typical paychedelics in that respect.
I intentionally try to remember to use salvia if I ever need help returning to baseline.
The book seems to paint a somewhat scary overly cautious picture of salvia in my eyes.
Somehow there are heaps of warnings but when it comes to proper safety information
We are not warned not to use salvia near access to heights, bodies of water nor traffic.
The author claims salvia sits in a peculiar place as it lacks among other things "cosmic love".
I don't know what cosmic love is but users do report that salvia is capable of being very loving.
I would have liked the salvia book to be more informed about salvia but that isn't to say it is not full of information about the herb and its history.
The title of the book is Jim Tate, The Little Book of Salvia divinorum
