Aside from just herbal incense and K2, you’ve likely heard that “Salvia” is pretty slammin’ and something that you should try to get your hands on.  Jump around on enough herbal incense sites and you’ll see most people asking simply if their particular blends contain “Salvia”.  Most don’t.  What most people don‘t understand is that there are many different kinds of Salvia and, if you’re jumping online just looking to score some “Salvia”, you’ll likely find some.  Will you find the right kind?  (you know…the one that’s ‘pretty slammin”).   Maybe not.

Here’s where we’d like to help.   Salvia, also known as Sage, has over 900 different species and are generally planted for either ornamental purposes or for use as herbs.  Telling the different variations of Salvia apart requires some special knowledge but the particular one that we are interested in here is Salvia Divinorum, also known as diviner’s sage.

Salvia Divinorum has a long history of use in Mexico for medicinal and spiritual healing purposes and it is a psychoactive plant.  The actual plant, Salvia Divinorum, is mainly found in 3 parts of the world:  Southern Mexico, Central America and South America.   The active component, salvinorinA, is a strong hallucinogen.  The plant comes in the form of seeds, leaves or extracts and the effects of it’s use are considered to be very strong.

So, if it’s that strong it must be illegal right?  Nope.  Not illegal (except in Australia, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Spain).  The big deal here is really that the effects are extremely intense and it is possible to have a wickedly bad experience with Salvia if you haven’t done your homework and you decided to buy some low quality or unknown extract.

The Best Salvia is a great place to buy salvia.  They are NOT one of the 1001 brand spankin’ new salvia sellers on the net.  They’ve been in this business for years and have some awesome products that others don’t!  Including Salvia Extract 60x – holy crap – this shit is some seriously potent saliva!    These guys are all about the salvia extracts, though.  So if you’re looking for just the dried salvia leaves or a salvia plant, you won’t get it here.  Shipping is via USPS first class mail and they do ship worldwide.  All major credit cards are accepted through AlertPay.  The Best Salvia stands behind it’s products and services with a customer satisfaction and refund policy.

That being said, we highly recommend thebestsalvia.com as a trusted source of lab tested, quality ensured Salvia Divinorum.  Not only that, they have excellent service and killer prices.  You can’t beat that and you get the bonus peace of mind that comes with using a trusted source.

GrassCity.com is another Netherlands-based online head shop that sells a variety of “head shop” materials and legal highs items, including Salvia Divinorum.    Again, not a new “flash in the pan” salvia dealer, but a store that’s been open for over 11 years and has a solid customer base as well as an active forum, with over 140,000 members.  Their website selection is huge – over 5,000 items, and they provide quality and value for your money.

The application of salvia divinorum is growing by the day all over the world. The herb’s capacity to open the doorway to immense spiritual proficiencies has fascinated a majority of people that are inquisitive about their associations to this universe and yonder. Even though the usage of salvia is increasing by leaps and bounds, there is relatively a bit of distortion regarding salvia effects. As such, the article aims at dispelling some of these salvia divinorum myths.

1. Salvia is lawful. This is not entirely true. Presently, salvia is lawful in virtually every nation and in forty three of the fifty states in the US. This should not be interpreted to mean that it will stay like this eternally. Over the last couple of years, there have been numerous legislative efforts to make salvia a controlled drug. Since salvia is permissible to buy, it is not that easy to purchase it from an online distributor.
2. Masticating and smoking salvia generates similar effects. Given that the body’s gastric juices kills the psychoactive compound in salvia, persons who take it orally have to keep it in their mouths and masticate it periodically so that it can have an effect on the body. In comparison to smoking salvia, masticating the herb generates a much slight effect.
3. Smoking the herbs leaves can lead to an altered state of awareness. Whereas in most cases this is true, the leaves contain minimal concentrations of psychoactive components. To truly feel salvia effects, it is important that you buy a concentrate form of the herb and smoke it.
4. Salvia is the modern day cannabis sativa. In reality, salvia and cannabis sativa have very little in common. Foremost, cannabis sativa is illegal in nearly all countries. Secondly, the psychoactive structures in the two plants are totally dissimilar. Thirdly, cannabis sativa is regarded by most people as a recreational substance, whereas salvia is normally taken with specific goal of spiritual arousal. Unlike cannabis sativa, consuming salvia is basically an individual experience; it is not in any way a recreational drug. Furthermore, the ultimate effects of smoking salvia basically last for only between five to thirty minutes.
5. Salvia is not only addictive, but also bad for your health. There has been an extensive research being carried out on salvia, and there is no documented proof that shows that the herb is addictive. Even though it is prohibited for pregnant and nursing mothers, and most definitely for children, the herb has not shown any long-term health side-effects.

Salvia divinorum is a plant that can induce dissociative effects and other hallucinatory experiences. It is only found in the Sierra Mazateca forest of Mexico, and is highly prized in the market for its psychoactive effects.

Salvia divinorum is a kind of sage and there are over 1,000 species of this plant. One of its close relatives in the Salvia genus is the mint plant, which is commonly used as ingredients in foods and other oral products. While there are hundreds of species, only the Salvia divinorum has the psychoactive dissociative and hallucinatory effects.

Different Kinds of Salvia divinorum

While this is the only kind of Salvia divinorum that has psychoactive effects, there are many ways in which the plant is presented for the market. These differ in the quality of the leaves, mostly in the freshness and how much extracts and active ingredients are preserved within them, and the drying process.

You can also differentiate the different qualities of Salvia divinorum sold in the market or the Internet by the method they are grown. Some expert growers use Vermiculite or else Perlite as soil additives, which make the leaves of the Salvia divinorum more abundant, healthier, greener, and give more salvia extracts. You want those Salvia divinorum grown with special care because they provide maximum psychoactive effects and yield more leaves.

Kinds of Salvia divinorum According to Drying Process

The drying process will also have a lot to do with the quality of Salvia divinorum you will get. It is difficult to buy Salvia that is good quality, which is why you need to know how good ones are made. There are six popular methods in drying the Salvia divinorum leaves, and these will all result in different kinds of Salvia divinorum for your use. The methods are:

• Calcium Chloride Drying pour the substance in a plastic container, and then place a sheet of aluminum foil over it, without touching the calcium chloride. You can place the leaves you want to dry. Curl the edges of the foil to prevent the leaves from touching the calcium chloride.
• Microwave simply dry the leaves in your microwave oven. This is very straightforward. Just monitor the texture of your leaves every thirty seconds, and make sure they do not burn.
• Oven Drying preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Slowly bake the Salvia divinorum leaves until they lose their moisture.
• Food dehydrator You can use your food dehydrator at home if you have one. Simply dry the leaves and the stem until they are already crispy. This also preserves a lot of the active ingredients in the leaves compared to other methods of drying.
• Natural Drying method this is also the longest method to dry your Salvia divinorum leaves. The just place your leaves outside in a plastic container, and allow nature to dry it. Place it under the direct heat of the sun. This will normally take three to 7 days.
• Tobacco Drying Method take sheets of Salvia divinorum leaves and pile them on top of each other, just like you would a sheet of paper. Put the pile on a clean plate, and then turn the pile twice every day. This allows the extracts or essences to gather evenly, producing excellent flavor.

Overall, these drying methods produce differnet tastes and qualities of Salvia divinorum leaves. You can buy Salvia online or through friends you know who are growing the plant.

Hinging on an individual’s lenience, the salvia effects can differ significantly. Comprehending salvia effects is not only meant for novices but also experienced consumers. Therefore, if you are surfing for information on how to buy salvia, you will find this article quite a thought-provoking read.

The impacts of salvia cannot be placed into the same category of results generated by other comparable psychoactive elements. How a person encounters the outcomes greatly hinges on the particulars of their mass, lenience, quantities and process of ingestion, and most significantly the power of the merchandize being utilized. As a result, the variety can be anywhere from weak to crazy. One theory is that salvia is highly regarded to be some kind of party drug ingredient. This is totally not true given that consumers who are taking part in the impacts are quite frequently not cooperative at all, instead they are inactive and in their own individual delusions encounters.

Whereas salvia triggers particular receptors in the mind, it is critical to note that they are dissimilar from the ones which are triggered by the other narcotic compounds like heroin. Narcotic elements that function on these receptors frequently play the role of a tranquilizer or a pain reliever as well as euphoria. Nonetheless, salvia divinorum impacts are normally illustrated as psychedelic.

A lot of consumers have also revealed that the impacts of salvia increased in intensity after only eating it a couple of times. A couple of individuals appear to have become much more receptive and get a higher level of experience in just a couple of brief tries. Nevertheless, the numbers of consumers that are less responsive are significantly higher. A majority of them will experience extreme salvia effects in larger dosages; however a small section of consumers will feel nothing at all, even in extreme dosages. For a first-time salvia consumer, it is highly recommended that only small amount of dosage be applied to initially assess your sensitivity, given that the results can sometimes be overwhelming. Every time make certain that another sober individual is nearby.

The duration of time salvia effects ranges quite slightly hinging on the approach used and the quantity utilized. In case the individual attempts to smoke salvia it will generate a short-lived effect. This specific kind of feeling may occur rapidly, even if the remaining salvia effects can still dawdle for a couple of hours. In addition, the affects will diminish quickly, even if the residual salvia effects can still remain for a couple of hours.

While it’s great to buy salvia online, it may not always be available and a lot of people are looking at growing their own salvia at home. To get started, you need to decide whether you want to try this with salvia seeds or a live salvia plant. While one may be cheaper, the other actually works better.

So you are planning to no longer buy salvia online and grow your own salvia divinorum. There are two ways to start growing salvia – either with salvia seeds or cuttings. Take care to dry the salvia seeds thoroughly and then plant them about a few millimeters deep. Also, you need to be careful while watering the seeds as if the soil turns soggy, salvia seeds may not sprout well. If you opt for growing salvia divinorum through cuttings, it is a better alternative though more expensive. This way of growing salvia is more common and, though you are spending a bit more money at the outset, you have less risk and less time to wait for the final product.  You will need to get the cuttings from below the nodes of the mother salvia plant.

After ensuring the same, salvia divinorum need to be placed in glasses filled with water. Roots form within 2 weeks and then you have to plant the salvia in soil (preferably indoors). Take care before you buy salvia seeds or live salvia plants that you purchase it from a reliable provider. If the salvia seeds or cuttings you brought are not good, all your efforts will go in vain. And once you plant salvia divinorum, you need to feed the plant daily. Start fertilizing after a month. Remember that both over fertilizing and over feeding will not give you the expected results.

Salvia is defined as the largest genus in the Lamiaceae mint family. It has around 700 to 1000 known species of shrubs, herbaceous and perennial plants, as well as annual. Salvia is said to have some medicinal effects as well. Off all the species of salvia, the most infamous of these is salvia divinorum or more popularly known as the diviner’s sage. This species of salvia is notorious for having hallucinogenic properties and its legalization has been the subject of debate.
Despite its controversial status salvia divinorum has made some doctors see its potential in becoming a therapeutic miracle. They believe that there may be some derivatives made that can be used to combat against diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, schizophrenia, and even AIDS and HIV.
Other sages (salvia species) also have various uses in the therapeutic department and are classified into 2 categories: 1) the aromatic sages and 2) the non aromatic sages. The latter however does not have any medicinal properties.
The salvia effects for the aromatic sages are the strengthening of the lungs. Consuming it as tea will prevent coughs. Cold tea stops sweating, while warm tea induces sweating. Cold and hot teas will also either stop or enhance the production of milk.

Salvia divinorum is a variety of the Salvia or Sage group of plants found in Mexico that has been used for its medicinal properties. This plant is very rare since it only grows on fertile areas that are humid and shaded like that of the Sierra Mazateca. It may also grow in some coastal areas in Hawaii and California that are frost-free and foggy. Salvia divinorum has been used by Mazateca religious healers for its vision inducing effects and disassociating properties. Today, many people are trying to buy salvia for its hallucinating properties.

Methods of using salvia divinorum include:

• Traditionally, the leaves are used by healing priests as a tea by crushing about 20 to 80 fresh leaves and boiling them.
• The leaves can also be chewed to absorb the juice by rolling few pieces of fresh leaves like cigars before chewing.
• Modern method of ingesting these leaves is either by smoking or vaporizing enhanced concentrates in order for the effect of the plant to be less noticeable.

Packaging of Salvia Divinorum

The leaves are marked with an X to indicate its gram concentration. When you buy salvia, you can see for example 5x which means that one gram of the product contains 25 grams of concentrated extract. However, the multiplication factors will only indicate the strength of the concentration, but not the potency. The potency of the concentrate’s dose is dependent on the quality of the untreated leaves that were used in concentrating and the efficiency of the process in the extraction.

Buying Salvia while it’s legal

Salvia divinorum has its positive use in medicine and is the only legal psychoactive plant to get high that is available on the market today. However, due to some people’s wrong use of the plant and bad publications, many countries such as Italy, Japan, Sweden, Australia has now either limit distribution or completely banned salvia. In the United States, many states are also trying to put restrictions on the sale of salvia. Therefore, buy salvia now while it is still legal. But, when you take this product, make sure that you are with somebody for support if any adverse effect occurs and that you avoid taking high doses of the concentrated extracts.

Salvia Divinorum is a plant, derived from the mint family. It has it’s origins mainly in Central and South America, the Sierra Madre mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico in particular. The plant grows in shady, moist spots and has hollow stems with fairly large leaves. It can grow to a height of about a meter and produce flowers that are white and purple in color.

The chemical in the plant, Salvinorin A, produces the salvia effects of hallucinations, auditory and visual distortions, dizziness and disassociation from reality. In higher doses, it can bring on nausea and excessive sweating.

The Salvia Plant has religious traditions with the mazateca shamans of Mexico who used the leaves to bring on visionary states of consciousness that they used during their healing sessions, sometimes to discover the cause of sick person’s illness. The shamans use Salvia, generally in the form of a concentrated tea, to take them into a “visionary world” where they are able to understand greater meanings and even foretell of things or even find something that had been lost. These spiritual uses of Salvia continue today.

It is generally believed that the Mazatecs did not discover Salvia Divinorum until after the conquest of the new world, due to the name that they gave to it:  “hierba Maria” or “ska Maria Pastora” – both references to the Virgin Mary and sheep herding.  Both are obviously originated from Christianity and sheep were introduced by the Spanish.

Salvia was first documented by a researcher in 1939, by anthropologist Jean Basset Johnson, who was investigating the use of psilocybe mushrooms among the Mazatecs.  Salvia Divinorum wasn’t discovered by the “Western World” until the 1960′s, when R. Gordon Wasson, the famous botanist that gifted us with psychedelic mushrooms, brought back a specimen to study. Even then, Salvia remained obscure and relatively untapped until the 1990′s, when a researcher named Daniel Siebert began to dig a bit deeper with even more studies and was the one who discovered the “Salvinorin A” compound.

Since this time, Salvia’s popularity has obviously increased, as well as the attention that it’s received in the media.  You can buy salvia in a variety of places online, provided it is legal in your state to do so.   Just be sure to do your homework first, or hand that off to us – by checking out our Salvia Reviews page.

As with any substance that starts to get some “press”, as has been the case with Salvia, government will soon step in and make decisions on behalf of it’s citizens whether they want it to or not.  Concerns of parents and others have fueled the fire here and the countless ridiculous videos that are being posted on YouTube aren’t helping (knock it off guys).

As it stands right now, Salvia Divinorum in all of it’s forms remains largely LEGAL in a majority of countries and states.  There have even been quite a few bills proposed in various locales that have failed to gain enough support to pass in to law.  Some places do have regulations in place as to who is allowed to buy salvia and for what purpose they may have it in their possession.

So, what’s the score you ask?  Well, let’s start with the United States.    U.S. States that have regulations in place classifying Salvia Divinorum as a Schedule I drug are:

• Delaware
• Florida
• Hawaii
• Illinois
• Kansas
• Kentucky
• Minnesota
• Mississippi
• Missouri
• Nebraska
• North Dakota
• Ohio
• Oklahoma
• South Dakota
• Virgina

States where it is only Legal to possess Salvia when not intended for “Human Consumption” are:

• Louisiana
• Tennessee
• North Carolina
• West Virginia

Legal for Adults Only:

• California
• Maine
• Maryland

In the UK, there have been several parliamentary motions to ban being able to buy salvia and possess it but all have been unsuccessful.  Canada actually has laws on the books that prohibit the sale of products containing Salvinorin A without the “approval of Health Canada”, which seems unlikely.   However, to date, these laws have not been enforced and Salvia is still readily sold just about everywhere.

The countries with the strictest regulations with regards to Salvia – meaning it’s just plain Banned – forget about it – are:

• Australia
• Belgium
• Denmark
• Germany
• Italy
• Japan
• Sweden
• Poland

Finally, If you want to Possess Salvia but not Sell it, you can do so in Chile and Spain.  If you want to Possess it but not Grow it, that’s ok in Russia.   Countries where Salvia is treated as a medicinal herb that requires a doctor’s prescription are: Finland, Iceland and Norway.

Of course, this is all subject to change by next week.  You can count on it.  This is just a current state of the legal status as of early 2011.  Of more importance, if you haven’t tried Salvia yet, do it now.  If you’re going to buy salvia online, only buy from reputable dealers on you’ll end up with old stock and waste your time and money.  When you’re ready to get started (don’t wait too long – see above), check out our Salvia Reviews for the best salvia on the market.
