Brief history of Salvia divinorum
Salvia divinorum is Originally native to Mexico but unproven is often used by the Mazatec shamans who believe that Salvia has many medical curing benefits and visionary property's. In the Mazatec culture salvia can be used for many reasons that most of us are unaware of such as the curing of headaches to diarrhea Even to produce wildly hallucinogenic visions. Generally the Mazatec shamans ingest salvia to induce deep meditative and visionary states adding to their medical cabinet along with morning glory seeds and magic mushrooms gives a trip to Mexico a whole new meaning and was later Brought into the spot light in 1939 by Jean Basset Johnson detailing His personal experiences with the Mazatecs and salvia divinorum.

Stated to becoming a serious trend, Salvia has had prohibition slapped in it's face by a few country's and American states. Even though salvia is Not widely recognized for any known harmful effects simply being a hallucinogen was enough to scare some in power into place. Salvia still remains legal in most parts of the world as distributors of salvia market the drug as incense and herbal variations. Many more study's need to be done in order to have a clear stand point on the long term effects of smoking or ingesting salvia or one can take a trip to Mexico and ask the 90 year old shamans how they aged so gracefully. Whether you support the use's of this plant or are completely against it this issue will surely not disappear as the use of salvia increases.

Many have committed suicide on virtually every drug on the market including alcohol so whether this links to the acutal effect of salvia cannot be proven at this time, This may be caused by the emotional state of the person in general.

In places and locations where salvia is still legal one can hope to find salvia at convenience stores or even some headshops. Although salvia can be found local actually finding the store that Carry's salvia can be difficult. I my self once traveled to 10 stores and asked this dreadful statement "Do you carry salvia" only to get this answer " man what is wrong with you get out of my store salvia is illegal" Clearly he was misinformed because salvia is not illegal in my country of residence.

What are your opinions on salvia

Our opinion? salvia is a great herb and lovely plant. We fully support salvia as incense preferable sitting next to it while the aroma fills the air. In all honesty this is like asking an opinion on a maple tree, It may sound funny but its true because salvia is a plant and yes some people smoke it but the majority use it for incense purposes or meditation or healing. At lest to our knowledge that's what the Mexicans used it for.

Do people smoke salvia

smoking salvia
The reported amount of people smoking salvia has been on a steady rise for the last 10 years. So much so that a few countries have banned salvia, while others have split views and laws regarding salvia divinorum. Figuratively speaking the rise in smoking salvia has to be directly linked to the wide availability of the plant and it's extracts that can be acquired online or at local stores. Unlike marijuana which is outlawed, salvia is mainly legal and thus can be sold online and in stores to where it's legally allowed to be possessed for incense use only.

From the medical aspect we have found no direct research of any harmful effect from smoking salvia. This does not mean salvia smokers have not gained injury from the effects of being high on salvia after smoked so in a wide perspective can we say that some have been injured under the influence of the herb, well we would be lying if we said no since one can be injured on taking heavy cough medication because that also impairs your judgment.

Most likely you already know some or many people who smoke or have smoked salvia or at lest tried salvia in the last 5 years. As this herb becomes more common its going to undoubtedly become a regular smokers pass time and although we do not support smoking salvia, Frankly this is just what some people will do regardless of what laws may be in place to stop this from happening.
