Now available for the experienced user: 20x standardized extract. One of the strongest there is, so be very careful! Salvia Divinorum (Ska Maria Pastora) was discovered by the Mazatec Indians. The shamans of the Mazatec tribe used this holy medicine to induce a trance. In this trance they could travel through the unconsciousness of the patient to find the source of a disease. In contrast to most Salvia extracts on the market, our Salvia extracts are 'standardized'. This means that it is purified, having several benefits over 'crude' extracts:
It is more potent than crude extracts
It is much less damaging to your health than crude extracts, containing no extra plant fats or solvent residues
It can be kept much longer, in theory indefinitely when kept out of direct sunlight
The quality is consistent from batch to batch
Effects:
The active compounds of Salvia Divinorum are salvinorin A en salvinorin B. The main compound salvinorin A is currently the strongest isolated hallucinogenic substance known. You cannot compare Salvia with other hallucinogenic plants like magic mushrooms and cacti, is has it's own unique effect. Salvia causes only a short trip, 20 minutes to 1 hour. After this you return to reality quickly. During the trip several states can occur: 2-dimensional hallucinations, out of body experiences, becoming a object, traveling back in time, being in more places at once and uncontrolled laughing.
Usage:
The Mazatec Indians used two methods of consuming salvia: chew for a long time and then swallow down the leaves, or dissolve the leaves partially in water and drink it. However, both methods are not very tasteful. When you are new to salvia, start of with only a very small amount to test your sensitivity. The effect of salvia are different for each person and can for some be very overwhelming. Be especially cautious with the 20x extract!! It is important to use the salvia in a quiet, dark environment (with some candles for instance). A television is deadly for the experience, but an appropriate piece of music can be very inspiring. If you have no experience with salvia or other entheogenic substances, having a sober sitter present is absolutely necessary.
Warnings:
BE CAREFUL WITH THE 5X ,10X and 20X EXTRACTS OF SALVIA, USE THEM ONLY WITH A SITTER PRESENT, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH NORMAL SALVIA!!! Salvia is not dangerous or addictive, but it is not a party drug! So use it in a quiet and intimate environment so the salvia can show it's full advantage. Most people do not feel an unpleasant hangover after using Salvia. Some people do report a mild headache, bronchial irritation, insomnia or irritability. These symptoms seem to be reported more often by people who smoke salvia than by those who chew it, and perhaps might be due to some combustion products, such as carbon monoxide rather than to salvinorin.
