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

    is TRPV3 even involved in any way because last time i’ve checked some of best evidence points in direction of TrkB

  I want to see someone correct that commentor by telling them frankincense was the name of the doctor not the monster.

  • pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Frankincense was actually the name of the wise man.

      Knowledge is knowing Frankincense is the doctor. Wisdom is knowing Frankincense is the monster

    The monster’s name was Adam Frankincense.

  I got some frankincense and lit it, now my apartment smells like smoke

    Just as John Frankincense intended.

  incensole acetate has ~1/10th the anti-anxiety potency of valium, which is pretty darn high if you think about it!

  myrrh is also psychoactive, but it’s a straight up opoid agonist. it was commonly used as a pain reliever before the widespread use of opium poppies. in high-ish concentrations folks report general euphorua, dream-like states, and even vivid/lucid dreams! i can personally attest to the first two hahah

    Next you’re gonna tell me gold is psychoactive!

    Extract in a passive nasal inhaler device like Poy-Sian would probably work.

      Is that bottle actually labeled “Poy-sian” like poison?

  Uh yeah, how is that new? That was always the point of using the stuff.

  source

  • ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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

    source

    • Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It’s a drug and has always been used as such. Why do you think that stuff was so valuable?

  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.

  Here and I thought the smoke was meant to keep mosquitos away

  • Buddahriffic@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Maybe it doesn’t actually keep them away but just gets them too high to be interested in biting.

  I actually got my hands on Frankincense drops and started to eat them like crazy, when I decided to try one of them. It tasted like actual raw glass like rocks although I liked eating them and didn’t knew why until now. Although they have almost zero to non taste, eating them was quite addictive

  That’s what they used to call “Church Air”

  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.
