Salvia divinorum

Although salvia is counted among the psychedelics, its effects are not comparable to those of other psychedelic substances. Partly, it is therefore described rather as an atypical dissociative (like ketamine, PCP, etc.) with psychedelic and delirium-inducing components, while certain circles argue for an entirely new category among the hallucinogens.

Salvia has a sedative effect and causes short, very intense hallucinations and visions. Even in small doses, an altered perception of gravity (also called "salvia gravity") is reported - described as a strong pulling/pushing sensation, as if the body is being pulled in different directions at high speed. Also reported are felt changes in the shape of the body - a horizontal and vertical stretching of the body to a separation into two halves. These physical hallucinations increase in proportion to the dose consumed. Other hallucinogenic effects include the sensation of becoming an object, animal, or plant; a separation of mind and body; a return to childhood places; and uncontrollable laughter. Deep, personal insights, as with other psychedelics, tend not to occur with salvia; the impressive physical and visual experiences are the primary focus.

• A salvia high is a very intense experience and can be psychologically stressful. It is recommended not to consume other substances for a salvia experience.
• It is not currently known whether combining Salvia divinorum with other substances or medicines poses any risks.

• Salvia is not a party substance. Make sure to use a suitable set and setting.
• Do not consume alone and make sure the environment is as familiar and comfortable as possible.
• Plan enough time to be able to process the intoxication in peace.
• Only consume when you feel good. If you are afraid of the strong effects, do not use. Do not use if you are afraid of the substance.
• If possible, do not mix salvia with tobacco (inhibits the effect of salvinorin A), but use tobacco substitutes (for example, damiana).
• Feel your way carefully to the desired dose and effect, as Salvinorin A is very potent and exact dosing is difficult due to the varying active ingredient content.
• When smoking, the effect sets in very quickly, which is why the pipe / bong should be safely put down immediately after smoking or removed by a person present.
