Every atom in your bottom has been in existence since the beginning of the universe. You were once parts of stars, comets, nebula, and god knows what else. Though you may feel young, you're billions of years old.

If you're male and reading this, you (presumably) have a father. He had a father. And so on and so on, an unbroken line of fathers, back to the very first ape that even resembled a human. That's a pretty long line of males who did their part, and resulted in you being here. If you don't have a son, you break that million(s) year old chain. If you're female, same thing, just change all the words to reflect motherhood instead.

Salvia Divinorum is a mild hallucinogenic that isn't on any scheduled lists of drugs. Here's a website about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_divinorum.
