Salvia Divinorum has long been known to have hallucinogenic properties. When I say ‘long been known’, I really do mean ‘long’: the Mazatec Shamans of Mexico knew all about Diviner’s sage and harnessed its powers to help them, and their ‘patients’, on their spiritual quests and in their meditation.
Scientific research – what little of it has been undertaken – has confirmed that Salvia does indeed have hallucinogenic properties. The studies also concluded that smokers experienced increased insight, self-confidence, and mood, as well as improved concentration.
Ingesting concentrated Salvia – large Internet suppliers such as SalviaDragon.com offer concentrated Salvia at 10x, 20x or 60x strength – increases the effects of the hallucinogenic, and users may perceive time travel, disembodiment and even merging with inanimate objects, walls and floors. Smoking Salvia leaves may have a similar effect but preparation is usually more troublesome. Chewing the leaves rarely releases enough of the active hallucinogenic to provide the same potency.
