Due to a short-term required tolerance break, I've been experimenting with some of the milder plant-based psychoactives that normally I don't consider very often because cannabis is simple and predictable. Unfortunately I use cannabis for insomnia (and related anxiety), so the past week or so has been pretty rough.
Enter frankincense and myrrh.
I've read that the terpenes and related compounds are good for inducing a meditative state and clearing anxiety, which makes sense to me. Another article mentioned that these compounds have roughly 1/10th of the activity of Valium. If I had much experience with Valium I might be able to compare, but today I popped into the local magick shop (not a practitioner just prefer buying incense from those type of places vs. head shops lol) and got some frankincense and myrrh resin to see if this could be a potential solution to acute anxiety until I'm in the clear.
Anyway, I gotta say, it works! I can't say I feel "high" in the classic sense (certainly not that "I'm at the Super Bowl" euphoria from the couple times I've tried benzos), but it smells great and my mind doesn't feel so weighed down by all the bullshit I've been wading in all week.
I get the feeling that this would be a great addition to a pre-psilocybin meditation session, or as part of an herbal blend including something like kratom, blue lotus, passionflower, etc.
Anyway, I peed today but I'm holding off until I get my results back because everyone I know has been called back at least once after giving a dilute sample, and while I did a good job with the creatine and b-12 and passed my home test before and after my appointment, I'm not ready to risk it until I know I'm golden, so to speak. Thoughts and prayers for me yall, I need all the blessings I can get after this year - send em my way and I'll send them back to you 8-fold when you need them.
Sorry for the narrative there - I did wanna ask though, anyone here use these resins as part of their herbal toolkit? If so, what are some of your favorite ways to use them?
