Salvia Divinorum and its Medical Benefits
Our planet is full of miraculous herbs. Salvia Divinorum is one such mysterious plant, known for being the most potential natural hallucinogen yet discovered. New research indicates it may have healing potential as well.

Salvia Divinorum is a very popular for its psychedelic effects. Many people have a misconception that the Salvia Divinorum is in the same class of drugs as marijuana. Therefore, they believe that Salvia Divinorum should be made illegal. Nothing could be further from the truth. Salvia Divinorum is entirely different from other plants and drugs.
In fact some studies indicate that Salvia Divinorum can be used to free a person from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. In addition, new research is unlocking the untapped medical potential of Salvia Divinorum.
Speaking about the medical benefits of Salvia Divinorum, the professionals of Black Hat Botanicals said, “Various research studies indicate that Salvia Divinorum has great healing potential. Ongoing laboratory trials are showing that this miraculous herb could be a remedy for several diseases and mental disorders. Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, depression, insomnia, stress, indigestion, and chronic pain are some of the health issues that could one day be treated with the use of this herb, or its chemical constituents. Historically, Salvia Divinorum was widely used by the Mazatec Indians for centuries, who sought relief from rheumatism, anemia and headache.”
They added that, “With all this healing potential, it is unfortunate that Salvia Divinorum is being made illegal in certain states and countries.” It is now well known that those who use Salvia Divinorum can experience visionary states of consciousness that some have called intense spiritual healing sessions. Salvia can be chewed, smoked or taken as tincture. When an individual uses Salvia, he can also experience uncontrollable and boisterous feelings of laughter. Taken in moderation, Salvia can be normalized as a “feel-good” drug, with effects similar to alcohol or nicotine.
Various researches are being conducted now to study the medical benefits of Salvia Divinorum. Scientists and professors from major American, European and Asian unversities, as well as private drug companies, are investigating the herb and its chemical components. Thomas Prisinzano, assistant professor of medicinal and natural products chemistry at the University of Iowa has said that, “You can give a rat free access to cocaine, give them free access to Salvinorin A, and they stop taking cocaine.” Professor Bryan L. Roth, director of the National Institute on Mental Health’s Psychoactive Drug Screening Program, has said, “We think that drugs derived from the active ingredient could be useful for a range of diseases: Alzheimer’s, depression, schizophrenia, chronic pain and even AIDS or HIV.” In addition, expert clinical pharmacologist John Mendelsohn’s research has caused him to publicy delcare that “There may be some derivatives that could be made that would actually be active against cancer and HIV. At the present time, there are a lot of therapeutic targets that have many people excited.” With so much excitement and interest in the medical research community about Salvia Divinorum, it is only a matter of time until novel, life-saving treatments are brought to market.
The future of Salvia Divinorum seems to be very promising in the field of medicine.

the government will make it

of tobacco & alcohol which
is far more destructive…

this is surprising to me.. i am a fan of psychadelics generally.. pot is great, shrooms are an amazing experience, but salvia scares the living shit out of me. everytime i smoke it i just feel like ive melted into all of my surroundings. kind of like how i would imagine it would feel like to die if our conciousness just kind bled out of our mind-body into the world around us. basically salvia temporarily kills me, yet somehow leaves me still in my senses. its some wierd shit man. it really makes me feel like my mind just falls completely apart when im on it. like instead of seeing images everything becomes just shapes and colors, with no relevance to how i would interpret them while sober.

i also once melted into the seat in front of me in my friends truck and became the chair. it was wild man haha.. but i only did it about 3 times cause everytime it is terrifying and extremely uncomfortable. i much prefer pot and shrooms. still havent tried LSD but I am looking forward to it. not to mention DMT.. I am SO down to meet the 5th dimensional entities.

Salvia Divinorum should be smoked pure, do not add tobacco to it like you would with other herbs. It can be rolled into a joint but this is not generally recommended as large hits of the smoke are normally needed to get the full effects.

It’s not that large hits of smoke are required, but smoking in a joint doesn’t produce a high enough temperature for the vaporisation of Salvinorin-A

In November 2007 Jacqui Dean called for the government to take action against Salvia divinorum, saying – “Salvia divinorum is a hallucinogenic drug, which has been banned in Australia, and yet here in New Zealand it continues to be sold freely.”
