As much as I love the herb, but it aint no tree of life. Our human bodies are the tree of life. Our spine is the tree, our nervous system are the branches. We have a female side(left), and the male side(right). The snake(kundalini) at the root of the spine, who guides the female side up to the 3rd eye, while the right side goes as high as the crown.

The herb is powerful and should be respected, and thanked. The plant is a tester of what our bodies can achieve without the use of the herb. What the herb offers, our bodies can offer more. Our bodies can be likened to a chemist lab, during the meditation, but on a permanent basis.
