Smoking Salvia Induces Out of Body Experience
Salvia Divinorum – known as Diviner’s Sage – is getting some press lately due to a number of US jurisdictions considering a ban on its sale. But Salvia is nothing new: the Mazatec Shamans of Mexico believed its hallucinogenic powers helped users on their spiritual quest, whatever that may have been. Since then Native Americans have chewed Salvia leaves, also feeling its mild hallucinogenic properties were, if not good for them, then at least the helped fritter away the hours.
Chewing or smoking Salvia leaves on their own may have a limited effect on the users, and many suppliers sell concentrated plant extract which may be rated at 10x, 20x or 60x concentration. These are rather more potent than the plant in its ‘raw’ form and they lead to the intense experiences that politicians and lawmakers are beginning to get interested in. Reported hallucinogenic effects include outer-body experiences and perceived time travel, man.
