Modern humans must learn how to relate to psychoactives
responsibly, treating them with respect and awareness,
working to minimize harms and maximize benefits, and
integrating use into a healthy, enjoyable, and productive life.

I was a regular alcohol user and I got pissed off with the stuff when my stomach got upset with me and I threw up every time I started drinking slightly more than I should of, I was looking for something else to get me off my face and I asked my friend what I should do, she told me to try some damiana cos it pretty good for a 'mild stone' so I did some research on the stuff and thought I'd give it a go. I got some off my friend and she rolled up a big ass jay for me. I had to go so I left and started smoking it. It took about 15-20 minutes to kick in but when it did I was pretty impressed. Lights and colours seemed a bit brighter than they usually should and I was talking a lot of bullshit to my gf as I was with her at the time. I felt a bit light headed and at ease, so I smoked another 1 that I had made out of a cigarette and it hit me pretty well. I just felt relaxed and a little euphoric and also a bit floaty. I use it now and again when ever I get bored. Conclusion, it's pretty good stuff. A legal alternative to alcohol????
