Salvia divinorum is a very potent psychedelic herb. It is psychedelic, but it feels completely different than any other psychedelic known to man. It is legal in most states and countries. It's active compound is Salvinorin A.
Blends[]
It is also the base of the blends "Total Impact" and "Deviner's Three".
Most blends contain Salvia divinorum, except for the two mentioned above, are looked down upon as weak blends which use Salvia simply to make them effective. Salvia usually overpowers any other herb in a blend, but works well in Total Impact due to it's synergy with Blue Lotus and Dagga.
Use & Effects[]
Salvia is often sold in extracts, usually with the extract reapplied to the leaves. It can produce profound hallucinations. It can not be made into a tea.
When smoked, the user must use a very hot lighter (butane torch is best), and must take large hits and hold them in for roughly 30 seconds. People occasionally complain that it doesn't work, but this is usually do to ineffective smoking techniques (otherwise, it is due to weak unextracted leaf). It is usually sold in extracts of 5x (good for beginners), 10x (also good for beginners), 20x, 40x, 60x, and 80x (for the pros).
