Is there a grain of truth to the incense thing? Because I’ve been burning some and it does chill me right out haha

What does it mean then when it seriously nauseates you and without fail makes you get rid of your last meal? (I got to've had to sit out all family funerals because Catholics insist on fumigating everyone.)

I don’t know about euphoria, but there’s something to it that is possibly psychoactive.

I feel like the devil would be soaked in perfumes. How else would he keep from smelling like an abattoir or a BBQ pit?

I half suspected. Well, gotta find the nearest devil's sacrament, I suppose.

Not usually though. It's just frankincense specifically. I can barely smell any incense sticks, forget about scented candles.

Abattoir + firepit = BBQ smell?
