Salvia divinorum, also known as Diviner's Sage,[2] María Pastora,[3] Sage of the Seers, or simply by the genus name, Salvia, is a powerful psychoactive herb. It is a member of the sage genus and the Lamiaceae (mint) family.[4] The Latin name Salvia divinorum literally translates to "sage of the seers".[5] The genus name Salvia is derived from the Latin salvare, meaning "to heal" or "to save".[6]
Salvia divinorum has a long continuing tradition of use as an entheogen by indigenous Mazatec shamans, who use it to facilitate visionary states of consciousness during spiritual healing sessions.[1] The plant is found in isolated, shaded and moist plots in Oaxaca, Mexico. It grows to well over a meter in height, has large green leaves, hollow square stems with occasional white and purple flowers. It is thought to be a cultigen.[7] Its primary psychoactive constituent is a diterpenoid known as salvinorin A[8][9] - a potent κ-Opioid receptor agonist. Salvinorin A is unique in that it is the only naturally occurring substance known to induce a visionary state this way. Salvia divinorum can be chewed or smoked to produce experiences ranging from uncontrollable laughter to much more intense and profoundly altered states. The duration is much shorter than for some other more well known psychedelics; - the effects of smoked Salvia typically lasting for only a few minutes. The most commonly reported after-effects include an increased feeling of insight and improved mood, and a sense of calmness and increased sense of connection with nature, though much less often it may also cause dysphoria (unpleasant or uncomfortable mood). Salvia divinorum is not generally understood to be toxic or addictive. As a κ-opioid agonist, it may have potential as an analgesic and as therapy for drug addictions.
Salvia divinorum has become increasingly well-known and more widely available in modern culture. The rise of the Internet since the 1990s has seen the growth of many businesses selling live Salvia plants, dried leaves, extracts and other preparations. During this time medical experts, accident and emergency rooms have not been reporting cases that suggest particular health concerns and police have not been reporting it as a significant issue with regard to public order offences. Yet Salvia divinorum has attracted increasing attention from the media and some lawmakers.
Media stories generally raise alarms over Salvia's legal status, headlining for example with not necessarily well supported comparisons to LSD. Parental concerns are raised by focus on Salvia's use by younger teens; - the emergence of YouTube being an area of particular concern in this respect. The isolated and controversial case of Brett Chidester, a 17-year old Delaware student who committed suicide in January 2006, has received continued attention. He reportedly purchased Salvia from a Canadian based Internet company some four months prior to taking his own life; his parents consequently blame this for his death. Salvia divinorum remains legal in most countries and, within the United States, legal in the majority of States. However, some have called for its prohibition. Most proposed bills have not made it into law, with motions having been voted down in committee, failed, died or otherwise stalled. Other more recent bills are as yet still at early proposal stage. There haven't been any publicised prosecutions of anti-Salvia laws in the few countries and States where it has been made illegal.

I've gone with BBB a few times.

Usually get the 20x unstandardized.
Email them if you're going to buy alot at once, they'll give you a better deal.
Other than that, you can always get Salvia at your local head shops. It's more expensive though and they only have lower extracts. Lower is better if it's your first time.

you can get it anywhere on the internet. Get yourself some 10x and smoke it hard, not like a joint. You gotta hit it fast and hard, or else nothing happens. It's wierd, kinda paralyzes you for like a minute. Makes you laugh a lot too.
Very wierd stuff. The reason the 1x (leaves) suck is because there is a lot of smoke since it burns so fast.

You also need a bong - not a peice or pipe and a good torch lighter. When you hit hold the shit in and count to twenty, if everything went well you'll never get past 15.
Also don't do this alone unless I don't like you - you'll hurt yourself. I've had friends stop me from smashing my head, running into walls, breaking expensive shit, and trying to lick my cats anus while tripping. It also makes you feel safer so you won't have a bad one.
I wouldn't mess with salvia if you're looking for a "high". It doesn't get you "high". It should only be used for spirtual purposes, if you're looking to get a buzz you will be disappointed. Anyway, www.iamshaman.com is where i buy it, and other spirtual products. Best website by far for salvia extract.
Those who are saying it only lasts 5 minutes must not be hitting the high extracts (which they don't sell in head shops).
Yes, in real time if you had people watching you it only lasts 5-10 minutes.
I've only done this about 5 times so I'm not calling myself the expert but I've been gone in other dimensions anywhere from 30-90 minutes.
The last time being a free fall from a hole in the ground for about an hour. I'm not going into it because it's hard to explain these experiances except that I was being pulled towards the sky not actually downwards like gravity is supposed to and I was made out of bricks which I kept grabbing off my body.
But as honkee and pwn mentioned there are better drugs out there, it's not like a "recreational" drug but more of an experiance.
Do shrooms for tripping, and coke and weed for a buzz.
