Guide on Salvia Divinorum 15x - History, Use and Effects

Although Salvia Divinorum has been used in modern medicine to treat diarrhea,
headache and prevent anemia, its use can be traced back from the local shamans
of Mexico.

The first species of Salvia Divinorum was found in the mountain cloud forest of 
Oaxaca, Mexico.  They are said to prefer colder temperatures with high humidity.
Taxonomically, it belongs to the family of mint. It can be identified through its 
large, green leaves plus its hollow and brittle stems.  The plant is know to grow
as tall as 1 to 1.5 meters and it bears small white flowers that eventually bear
seeds.

It propagates itself in the mountain by scattering those small seeds.  However,
growers also have the option of growing them from cuttings if they wish to.

Traditional Mexican shamans use this plant to transcend or to achieve divination
while performing rituals like healing or invocation of the spirits of nature.  Since its
discovery last 1939, people have found other use of the said plant.

Today, the Salvia Divinorum found itself out the shaman context.  In fact, in the 
United States alone, 1.8 million people have admitted to have taken in Salvia 
at least once in their lifetime.  This is because it is easily accessible to almost 
everybody who has an access to the Internet.

What is the hype?  Salvia Divinorum has found its way to several households 
because of its almost instantaneous effect.  Users have reported that a couple
of seconds after taking it, the user feels sudden elation of mood, alteration of
perception and out of the body experience...

keep on chewing the quid without actually ingesting it.  Ingestion of the leaves
prevents salvinorin A from producing its desired effects.  It may also be consumed
by infusing a few drops of tincture in water or any drinking beverage.  But since
the internet mostly sells dried leaves or concentrates, some users prefer to ingest
it by means of smoking.

temperature equal or greater than 240C.  After which they can start enjoying

them report sudden feeling of bliss.  This eventually leads to a good 5 to 10 minutes
of laughing trip.  One testimonial even reported that perception totally altered.  He 
mentioned that after smoking salvia divinorum he saw the would in a very cartoonish
mode where he sees everything in two-dimensional figures.
