    I was wandering through FHM's drug use video's and there's a guy smoking Salvia, I'll admit I had never heard of it but sounds like the bees knees. Natural occuring compound and per mass is the most concentrated hallucinagenic around, oh and did I mention it's readily available and legal.

    New?

    Welcome to at least 3 or 4 years ago.

    And being here since March 2007, I'm surprised you haven't seen a thread on it yet. One pops up in AH about salvia or at least legal highs in general usually every month or so.

    It's also meant to be awful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,846 ✭✭✭✭eth0_


    LOL how old are you, 12?

    Salvia is very rarely nice.

    Salvia Divinorum can be a very intense halluconegenic when smoked in a bowl or water pipe with a high temperature flame (butane blowtorch type lighter needed).

    You need to to smoke it all with just one burn and keep the smoke in your lungs for as long as possible.

    The effects can last anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes,Hallucinations,loss of control and also physical hallucinations (being held down,pushed) can result.

    Many people do it once and never again having experienced a bad trip,some people enjoy it and do it regularly.

    The safest way to take Salvia Divinorum is to be in a happy/stable state of mind and have a good friend with you to watch you should anything go wrong.

    Salvia Divinorum leaves in their unprocessed form can be chewed,if the juice is swallowed it will have no effect as stomach acid negates it.Keeping the juice in your mouth while you chew will lead a milder trip lasting a few hours.

    The head shop in Rathmines only sells it to over 21s while most head shops supply it to anyone over 18.

    Salvia can be good if you do it properly (you need really intense heat) but generally its horrible

    No thats found in the plant Ayahuasca mainly and is closer to Psilocybin (Magic Mushrooms) than Salvia Divinorum.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    Ah ok.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,386 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    I don't know why countries are bothering with the administration expense of making salvia illegal. Salvia is the opposite of a habit forming drug. It is not a party drug so really poses no threat to the alcohol industry, which is a big reason most alternative recreational drugs are nipped in the bud early.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,397 ✭✭✭✭Degsy


    If its legal its not worth doing.

    Not true.If all illicit drugs were legalised would that mean they werent worth doing?Just because they were legal?

    You may have tried some legal highs and found them not to your liking mate,theres plenty more out there and btw when they ban presently legal highs does that make them more worthwhile (after they have been banned)?

    They might be sound, but I'd take anything anyone working in one of those shops with a pinch of salt. They're not qualified, and I've encountered some who were utterly clueless. Research anything you want to try online first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Majority of people report an unpleasant experience. Still fancy it if I'm honest. But I'm not paying head shop prices and I can wait.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭InkSlinger67


    Don't go near it OP, its crap!

    Better off huffing the fumes from your local industrial estate


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 687 ✭✭✭scop


    In my more retarded younger days I used to smoke this coming down from shrooms (Yes I was that weird).

    But salvia is a seriouso drug pretending not to be. Smoke 40x properly (and trust me 90% of people are too lazy to look up how to smoke it) and you'll be whizzing off to la-la-landz.

    As to it being new...people were smoking this in the 50s in the US, and in Ireland for a decade or so. In Europe salvia was smoked to intensify trips since at least the 60s. Ireland is just always a little behind which can be a good thing.

    A lot of people also use the logic if it is illegal it is worth doing. So making a drug illegal can have it gain attention and interest people to use it even more. The 2 most widely abused drugs are both legal, so I guess the millions abusing them think they are worth doing.

    People have strange logic when it comes to drugs. Like "well if it is so good it would be illegal", like the governments aim is to stop them having a good time. Look what happened with GHB, they saw it as a threat to the alcohol industry so made up myths about it being a date rape drug as a reason to make it illegal. While alcohol is the biggest date rape drug out there!
    Its allowed?
    Yes, shops can sell legal goods. In woodies you can get LSA which is similar compound to LSD.
    Don't go near it OP, its crap!
    Crap as in not nice, or that it doesn't work? If you didn't get it to work you were either sold something else, or did not smoke it correctly. Many do not "breakthrough" on their first day, if you think you might have broken through, you did not.... You will know all about it when you do and be in no doubt at all!

    If you want to drool like an animal and be sucked into a spiralling vortex and communicate with mother nature type entities then go ahead, it can be very scary stuff.

    What?You think €15 is too much? Let me know if you find it cheaper online.

    Where did you hear this?

    It was in use in south america, and was only "discovered" in 1962 by R. Gordon Wasson & Albert Hofmann (of LSD fame). At the time they did not realise its power, the natives only chewed it which gives a much lower effect. Also even if normally smoked, like in a cigarette it has very little effect too. The plant is difficult to get to give seeds. For this reason it was spread thought clones/cuttings. So in effect a lot of the stuff on sale now is the exact same genetic plant that Wasson & Hoffmann originally got.

    They did not rate it highly, the 2 guys also have a book detailing hallucinogenic plants (the majority of which are legal). They only really bothered with ones they were certain had psychoactive substances, which were many. But in the back of the book they had 100's of other plants which were "likely" to contain psychoactive substances, but were as yet untested.

    Natives will sometimes hide sacred plants from westerners, there is no doubt many plants & fungi which are yet "undiscovered". They might well have smoked it but Wasson & Hofmann were not aware of this, and only knew about the chewing technique.

    Smoking salvia only became "discovered" in 1993 by Daniel Siebert

    It worked for me alright but its nothing you can't get from spray painting your front room! I threw out the only bit I ever bought along with the crappy little pipe they advised me to get.

    Waste of time!

    That doesn't sound like you broke through so, that's a whole different story. It is understandable that you might not have broken through if you smoked it using a "crappy pipe". I would never have been able to smoke it without a good water pipe.

    Don't understand how anyone would not have heard of Salvia before.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭Acid_Violet


    It's not random, it's not new, and if the government continue with their current plans then it'll probably be banned by February along with a shítload of other legal highs.

    I tried the 40x stuff a few times a few years ago with a mate of mine -

    first time I took one drag of it... My impression was that it was avery metallic taste, gave me a bit of a high - walking felt more like like bouncing...the effect wore off after about 15 mins.

    second time we went to town on it - a few drags of it over an hour (I'd guess) It was a bit like being stoned, but less mellow... it also gave me a ringing in my ears, vortexes of realities/galaxies rolling in and out of each other like a doughnut turning inside out... - it really amplified my mood also... I remember sitting down and being utterly confused as to why we were in the state we were, and like I said - it's quite the mood amplifier. Then my friend hit the nail on the head "it's the drugs!" really funny now that I think of it. He talked the anxiety out of me, and then I found it quite interesting - not introspective like being stoned but more of a show for my entertainment... I stuck some Pink Floyd on and fell asleep to that

    <SNIP> meaning has been lost through too many edits </SNIP>
