Salvia Divinorum

Salvia Divinorum... a plant, mostly just called Salvia. Grown in Mexico and possibly dating back to the Aztec culture where it was used for shamanistic rituals or for healing ceremonies. People often chew it or smoke it. The effects from intaking this substance vary from person to person, but many relate it to the psychedelic nature of mushrooms or lsd. Unlike other similar drugs, Salvia is absolutely legal in most countries and states.

Although potentially dating back to ancient cultures, Salvia has not received the attention of similar drugs such as marijuana, lsd or mushrooms. It is, however, becoming more well-known recently as it has become popularized by Youtube and celebrity usage (i.e. Miley Cyrus.) Many states have recently passed or tried to pass laws making this substance illegal, mostly pressured by negative media attention. Many people tend to think of Salvia as a substitute for marijuana, which is easier to obtain because of it's legality.

I have a friend named Swim, and it has been a long time since he has partaken in any kind of drug use, and he admitted that he experimented quite a bit in the past with various drugs, and hearing about Salvia has his mind very curious. He definitely wants to try this substance before it becomes completely illegal, so he is planning on purchasing some, either online or from a local head-shop and testing it out for himself.

Swim has done plenty of research regarding Salvia, has read countless online posts about people's experiences and has also watched numerous Youtube videos of people smoking it (although the Youtube videos are filled with a majority of idiots who do not respect their experiences and are using it like a recreational drug, which it certainly is not.) He will probably be going on his Salvia Trip soon, and I will be sure to post his experiences on here.

Happy Trails.
