Purple Sticky Salvia

Purple Sticky Salvia, The best leaf there is without a doubt!

Purple sticky salvia is a plant from the mint family and a species of sage that is used for its psychoactive effects. Salvia is endemic only to the Mazatec region of the Sierra Madre mountains in Oaxaca, Mexico, also known as the Sierra Mazateca. Given the right dose, individual, set and setting, it produces a unique state of "divine inebriation" which has been traditionally used by Mazatec healers and prophets. This inebriation is quite different from that of alcohol. Salvia is both similar to, yet different from, other drugs that affect the brain and behavior. In many ways, Salvia divinorum is a uniquely "magical" herb. Salvia, along with it's active princliple salvinorin-A, is very difficult to categorize pharmacologically as it does not fit well into any existing pharmacological class. Purple sticky salvia is NOT a recreational drug in the way that other drugs like alcohol and marijuana are used. It is definitely NOT a party drug. But can be the best inner party. Salvia is best used by those wishing to explore deep meditative states, spiritual realms, mysticism, the nature of consciousness and reality, or even the possibilities of shamanistic healing.

Most cheap salvia extracts on the market are crude extracts, which are not standardized to the stage of the final product. Crude extracts are made by soaking the leaves in toxic solvents to dissolve the Salvinorin-A out of the leaves. However, more than just the Salvinorin-A gets dissolved out of the leaves. For example, much of the plant’s lipids (a large class of organic substances, insoluble in water and greasy to the touch, including the fats, waxes, and sterols) get dissolved in the solvent as well; these usually end up in the extract and in the lungs. Also, the quantity of the active ingredient (Salvinorin-A) is never guaranteed with the crude extracts!
