Hello people. Wow it's been a long time. I hope at least some of you have made some progress in the interim.
I'm hoping that one of you brainy psychopharmacologists can enlighten me a little.
I have a history of excellent responses to opioids and so when I came across this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7071010.stm) article on a plant called Salvia, which apparently works its magic via kappa-opioid receptors, I was naturally very interested.
I am not looking to discuss the rights and wrongs of hallucinogens (though I personally find them to be rather pleasurable), but rather, what the implications of such a mode of action might theoretically be for an opioid-responsive individual (ie me).
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
Ta,
Jah.
