Salvia Divinorum
Salvia Divinorum is a unique plant native to Central and South America. The plant is known for its powerful psychoactive effects and hallucinations. For these reasons, Mazatec medicine men regularly used the plant in various religious traditions and rituals. Today, the drug is still used by a few people, although it is not illegal in most countries. Read more about this special plant here!
What effects does Salvia Divinorum have?
Experienced users of Salvia Divinorum say it all: you can’t compare the plant to any other drug. It’s very misleading to describe the drug as, for example, “legal marijuana” or “legal LSD.” Salvia Divinorum is a completely unique plant with its own effects. Fortunately, the plant is fairly safe, as it does not cause severe physical reactions.
The main effect of Salvia Divinorum consists of hallucinations. This is a visionary herb, which means you’ll start seeing all sorts of things after taking it. In the ancient cultures of Central and South America, the drug was also known as a kind of “vision herb.” People believed that under its influence, you could see the future. That really gives you an idea of the strange hallucinations Salvia Divinorum can induce! A trip lasts about one to two hours and begins after one minute (when smoked) to fifteen minutes (when chewed). Make sure you’re in a safe, quiet environment so you can fully enjoy the effects of Salvia Divinorum!
Why is Salvia Divinorum so unique?
The reason Salvia Divinorum is such a unique drug is due to the active ingredient salvinorin. Chemically speaking, this substance is unlike almost any other drug. We also don’t know exactly how the substance works in our brains, only that it is a very potent substance. Fortunately, there is very little Salvinorin in the leaves of Salvia Divinorum, so you can use them safely.
Moreover, the drug isn’t easy to obtain, even though it’s not legal in the Netherlands. This is mainly because the drug isn’t as well-known as, say, marijuana or cocaine. The trips, however, are much more special! You’ll have the best trip in a quiet, private setting without too much noise. This allows you to fully immerse yourself in the hallucinations. For the first few times, it’s wise to have a sober “sitter” present to ensure nothing goes wrong. Above all, enjoy your Salvia Divinorum trips!
