Many people who have heard about this amazing herbal smoke are skeptical of the results people claimed to experience. There is nothing to be skeptical about, the effects on people using Calia are well documented in history. This isn't stuff made up by people on forums throughout the internet it is based of actual experiences and events.

Traditional Calea has been used by Shaman's and medicine men when they needed to know the cause of an illness or the location of a distant or lost person, where the answer to their question would come to them in tithe form of a dream.

Today Calea is extremely popular used more as a means to vividly recall dreams. Some people have described the dreams they experience while using Calia are so vivid and clear that it is almost like watching them on a television. The usually method of experiencing the vivid dreams Calea induces is to make a cup of Calea tea (tastes disgusting) then before settling in for the night roll dried Calea leaves in some papers and smoke it. The Chontal Shaman preferred smoking the leaf calling it "thepelakano" or leaves of god. Utilizing this method this method the user will quickly become aware of a sense of tranquility and drowsiness overcoming them. Some users reported they can actually hear their beat.

To elaborate on the use of Calia as mentioned above there are two popular methods of using Calea. Smoking - Smoke one cigarette of the leaves. It's a little harsh, but not too bad. Do so right before you are going to sleep, but please do NOT smoke it in bed!

The other method as mentioned is to make a tea. Remember I said Calia tea is pretty disgusting so be brave - take about 3 grams of calea leaves and steep them in hot water for approximately 15 minutes. Add honey, sugar, or whatever else you can find to make the stuff taste better, because it is nasty tasting. What ever you, don't add any type of citrus as a flavoring to Calia tea. Everyone's experience may vary using Calea due to their unique body chemistry and how they react to herbs some results are fairly common among people who use calea.
