TRADITIONAL EFFECTS: It is said that consuming S. kirkii allows one to enter a trance state and induces vivid and lucid dreams in which one may communicate with ancestors and find answers to questions about one’s present and future. Individuals who have experimented with S. kirkii report relief of anxiety, restful sleep, and a dramatic increase of lucid dreams, many of which seem prophetic. Individuals also report feeling an increase in well being and happiness after working with this plant (shamanic-extracts.com 2011).
