What is Salvia? |
| Salvia Divinorum, active ingredient salvinorin-A, is truly a legal psychoactive herb. Being quite skeptic when it comes to things such as "legal highs" I decided to order 1 gram of the 10x standardized organic extract from Arena Ethnobotanicals. Upon its arrival several days later I was quite anxious to light up a bowl. I timidly packed half a bowl and took it down in about 3 deep hits. Before I was even finished with the bowl I felt something hit me. My entire body felt like a lead weight. I walked inside and laid down on my sofa. As I did this I felt myself melting into the cushions. As I moved my eyes around I felt as if I were on a different planet jumping in and out of the craters. Damn, I knew this salvia was the real deal. My second experience was two days later. This time I wanted to feel it's full wrath. I packed an entire bowl and I'm still not quite sure if I finished it completely. Luckily I had already had Peter Gabriel's Passion playing. Very quickly I was warped into a pyramidal box of liquid. The different instruments in the music were bouncing from wall to wall. My head was also being reflected from the walls of this box that had encompassed my body. Overall, I'm impressed with salvia - it's very intense high with many great visuals. Unfortunately Salvia is quite pricey. Per gram it runs at about 1/3 the price of weed. We suggest picking up the 1 gram of 10x standardized organic extract from BBB for $16. As implied by the name, this is 10 grams of salvia boiled down, then placed on 1 gram of leaves. BBB will sometimes remove the 10x from their catalogue as it sells out fairly quickly, but don't fret it always comes back. If you're impatient, the 5x is just as good; you just need to smoke more. 1/2-1 bowl of this will get you crunked up. Salvia can either be smoked or chewed. For smoking we'd suggest a one-hitter. If you prefer chewing, roll the salvia into a quid and place it under your tongue. Chew it once every 10 seconds for about 30 minutes. Then, spit out the remaining salvia. Chewing will bring on prolonged effects, but a much longer coming up time. The Salvia will hit ya in several seconds, plateau in about 2 minutes, stay there for about 20-30 minutes, then you have about 30 minutes of comedown. Yes, this isn't too long, but the effects can be so extreme that this is normally a fine amount of time.
