Does it elicit a psychoactive reaction or does it affect TRPV3 in vitro?

I got some frankincense and lit it, now my apartment smells like smoke
Just as John Frankincense intended.
Now someone is going to make a Frankincense vapes
Extract in a passive nasal inhaler device like Poy-Sian would probably work.
Here and I thought the smoke was meant to keep mosquitos away
Maybe it doesn’t actually keep them away but just gets them too high to be interested in biting.
But the higher I get, the more interested in biting I become
Religion itself is said to be natural antidepressant. I do wonder if exposure by our ancestors to psychoactive substances is tied to the development of religion.
Hell just the chords they play on the organ. You could probably write a song about licking envelopes in the style of a church hymn and get people to worship the Postmaster General.
I mean, I have been looking for a cult to join, if you were looking to start one.
Well join us at !woodworking@lemmy.ca. We could use a wood scientist.
Uh yeah, how is that new? That was always the point of using the stuff.
I figured it was traditionally used because it’s what was given to baby JC by the three wise men, so it’s considered holy in a sense
It’s a drug and has always been used as such. Why do you think that stuff was so valuable?
Smells nice? I mean, that’s basically the value of perfumes too
Somewhere, Dr. Ammon Hillman has read this and is grinning maniacally.
I was going to go with Marx. Turns out religion is the LITERAL opiate of the masses!
Makes sense with Marx too I guess but Hillman, who has a doctorate in classics and a masters (I think) in one of the biosciences has been pushing for more awareness of the countless references to recreational and sacramental drug use in antiquity for over a decade now. He’s not for everybody but he’s read ancient Greek for over 3 decades and finds some pretty surprising accounts of it in neglected medical and other texts he continues to translate.
I’ll stick with my family trait that means when we fight we get happy brain juice, I just wish boxing or MMA could trigger it but it doesn’t. If the fight can’t theoretically end with me getting gutted with a rusty knife I want nothing to do with it, I want to Cain someone’s Able.
Okay? Stay safe, I guess
Eh I generally have to avoid activating that particular trait, it’s rather unproductive. Also I shit talk a lot while in a fight and that could get me in deeper water due to fighting words laws.
