Salvia Divinorum

What is salvia divinorum?

The botanical name Salvia divinorum means "Sage of the Diviners". For hundreds of years it has been used in religious and healing ceremonies by the Mazatec Indians, living in the province of Oaxaca, Mexico.

The effects of salvia divinorum

The effects of salvia divinorum are unlike anything else you have ever experienced. People report an experience of travelling to different places and times. A common effect is the sense of communication with spiritual worlds. It can produce an out-of-body experience and reveal worlds you never imagined to exist.

Using salvia divinorum

It is best to smoke the leaf material in a pipe (not a cigarette). Salvinorin A has a relatively high vaporization temperature, and with a pipe you can draw a flame directly onto the leaf material so that it burns at a quite high temperature. It is very important to hold the smoke deep inside the lungs for a good 20 - 30 seconds before exhaling. This allows time for salvinorin A to be absorbed from the smoke.
When smoked, the first effects are noticed within 1 minute, rapidly developing into a peak which lasts for 5 - 10 minutes, then gradually diminishing over the next 20 - 30 minutes. From beginning to end, the entire experience lasts between 30 minutes and one hour. Do not smoke it alone. Have someone around to keep an eye on you.

Salvia is no "fun" the way alcohol or Cannabis can be. If you try to party with Salvia you will probably not have a nice experience. Each and every person has a unique and different experience with salvia divinorum. A lot of it has to do with the location and your intentions. Sometimes too much information can create expectations. It is basically pretty simple. Try it if you like and remember that you are dealing with a very powerful plant.
