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
