What is Salvia divinorum?

Salvia divinorum is a herb and a legal drug with unusually potent psychoactive effects. Considered as a special visionary herb by the Mazatec Indians, the Salvia divinorum was once allowed to dry after harvest, was then cured, and was afterwards blessed.

The leaves of salvia can be chewed as a quid and you may keep it in the mouth for a few hours. Dried salvia leaves can be smoked. The active ingredient of salvia is salvinorin A – a substance that causes short bursts of laughter, altered mental states and an overall pleasant euphoric feeling similar to a feeling of deep enlightenment. 

Ideally you should smoke 200 to 500 mcg of Salvia divinorum in order to experience remarkably potent effects. However, if your dose exceeds 500 mcg, you should expect yourself to babble gibberish, knock your head into walls or wander around the house with that scared animal look on your face. The worst side effect perhaps is the absence of memory of these manic episodes after you have had them. So unless you want to experience such nasty side effects, you have to keep the dose of your salvia at normal levels.

Salvia divinorum can be combined with kava for best results. Kava is another legal high equipped with anxiety-reducing properties that trigger a host of positive feelings of well being. You may want to do this by ingesting a small dose of kava first and try smoking salvia the moment kava starts to kick in.

When you smoke Salvia divinorum, the effects on your mind and body can prove to be overwhelming. Despite the fact that it is considered illegal in Japan, Australia, Belgium and the United States, it is considered safe, legal and even beneficial in many countries.

Salvia has been used by Mazatec Indians as a crucial part of their spiritual ceremonies and you can consider it also as a powerful tool to search your soul, to discover your own wisdom and to explore the many possibilities of your being.
