Salvia Divinorium: A Mind Altering Drug

Salvia Divinorium: A Mind Altering Drug

My daughter came to me yesterday asking me about Salvia divinorium. I knew nothing about it, so of course, I started digging to see what I could find. This is something every parent should know.

         Salvia or Salvia divinorium has been around for many years, but this drug is becoming very popular with teenagers and young adults today. Not only are they enjoying the effects of this drug, they think it is great because in most U.S. States and countries it is completely legal!

       In Mexico the Saliva divinorium plant grows naturally. It has been used by the Mazatec Shaman for centuries in their ceremonies. They say this plant is very easy to grow on your own. It is suppose to be simple to grow indoors as long as you keep it near a window to get plenty of sunlight. Anyone can get specific growing instructions of the Salvia divinorium plant on the internet.

     You may be wondering exactly how this drug is used? There are a couple of ways to using Salvia divinorium and I will explain them to you.

     Most people smoke Salvia divinorium and they usually use a water pipe. They inhale very deeply and hold for as long as possible, so they can get a good effect. It comes fairly quick and the effects are good and strong for about five minutes. Then they gradually wear off after about thirty minutes.

     Other people like to chew and eat the leaves. This takes longer for the effect to come on, about fifteen minutes. They reach a peak height at about thirty minutes and then it fades away over the next thirty minutes.

    Now, the effect you get from Salvia divinorium is supposed to produced very beautiful or weird hallucinations. A lot depends on how much you use and your environment. Many people claim they get very giggly at first and feel like their bodies are very heavy, they are unable to lift their arms and legs. They have trouble speaking to others. Then they begin to see things, many beautiful colors and other hallucinations of things and places. Some people say this is when they feel like they leave their bodies. In the final stages of this drug, many people black out, others just suffer short term memory loss.

       This drug is not suitable for being used at wild noisy parties. It is said for the best experience, you should use this in a calm quiet environment. You should also never use Salvia divinorium alone!

     Although Salvia divinorium is not thought to be addicting, there is not a lot known about this drug. Some users are reporting that after using Salvia divinorium that they have experienced short term memory loss, headaches and they seem to be very irritable. There have been no reports yet of anyone overdosing on Salvia divinorium, but that does not mean you should not take precautions if you decide to use this drug.

ok, this is what it’s like for me. I’ve never gotten giggly or anything off of it. and the effects usually don’t last for as long as you said they do. more in the line of 5 to 15 minutes, but I suppose everyone is different. the only way I can explain it is like my arms and legs are made of taffy or something. it’s a very weird experience. almost immediately, my forehead starts to sweat, and I get this panic type feeling though I’m not actually afraid of anything. everything seems like it’s moving in a counter-clockwise circle. and it’s as if there is some unknown “force” somewhere is somehow controlling my body and making me move in the counter-clockwise direction. you can buy this stuff at head shops in most states I believe. the actually plant is pretty weak, so the best way to buy it is in extracts. these can come in anywhere from 5 to 25 times the potency of the plant itself. it’s not exactly a “fun” type thing, but it definitely is quite an experience. just my thoughts.
