Salvia divinorum use, experiences and other info.
Welcome to salvia.net, a site dedicated to a plant variously named Salvia divinorum, Ska Pastora, Diviner's Mint, Sally-D and Lady Salvia. Though its psychoactive properties have been known to the Mexican Mazatec Indians for ages, it was relatively recent that the plant drew the attention of Western ethnobotanists, and even more recent (the early 90's) that its active component, salvinorin A, was isolated. Salvinorin A turned out to be the strongest natural hallucinogen known to man.
In recent years salvia has become increasingly popular amongst explorers of nonordinary states of consciousness. Because salvia enjoyed a legal status for years, researchers had the opportunity to study the mechanisms of its effects and possible therapeutic applications.
This website keeps you up to date on current research being conducted and its legal status around the world. Salvia.net also informs you about salvia's history, its chemistry, how to grow the plant yourself, how to use it safely and effectively, and invites you to share your personal experiences with this extraordinary hallucinogen.
The effects of salvia are overwhelming, especially when smoked. Because of this, one must carefully prepare oneself for the experience and have at least a general idea of what to expect. We invite you to browse this site before embarking on your salvia journey and hope it helps your first experience to be pleasant and meaningful.

June 16, 2009: Salvia to be banned in North Carolina
"A bill that would outlaw the psychoactive herb Salvia divinorum has passed the state Senate, prompting consumers to rush to buy it legally.
Senate Bill 138, sponsored by Sen. Bill Purcell, D-Laurinburg, would prohibit the "manufacture, sale, delivery, or possession" of Salvia divinorum. The law calls for a fine for the first two offenses and misdemeanor charges for subsequent offenses. Purcell stressed that North Carolina's law would not be as strict as those of 13 states, which made Salvia divinorum a drug on par with heroin.
"We're not out to terrorize people and put people in jail," Senator Purcell said, "but we do want to make a statement that the state does care about this."

June 16, 2009: "It just feels right"
"Three songs had passed and I didn't even notice. Time was completely non-existent during those moments in the darkness, and even though it was frightening..... it felt right. I truly believe I am more at one with myself. My life felt a little bit more centered. As a college student, you push yourself to gain so much knowledge that is factual, but you need to balance that by pushing yourself spiritually. One must understand."
