What's Salvia Divinorum?
S.D. is a very old Shamanic Plant. It grows in Oxaca (Mexico) in the Sierra Mazateka. The Ciranderos (Shamans) use S.D. to get there Visions.
S.D. is a labiat (Lamiaceae) and one of over 700 sage species.
Unlike the normal sage (Salvia Officinalis) contains S.D. the psychoactive substances Salvinorin A, B, C, D and F. But just Salvinorin A and Salvinorin C contains enough psychoactive force.
Salvinorin A is one of the strongest, natural growing, psychoactive substance in the world!
It takes an effect at 200mg!

Is Salvia dangerous?
S.D. has no reported side effects. Smoking is always not that good for you're lungs. But I think, it's even better for you're lungs to smoke salvia than cigarettes.
S.D. is only dangerous, if someone doesn't inform himself. I think it's also light headed if someone takes it without a tirpsitter (a person who has an eye on you). Please also take it in a calm environment. 10 persons looking and talking to you isn't very relaxing on a psychedelic flash. Until now, is no case with a overdose or a death with S.D. reported. None of the S.D. consumers has broken there mind. The only dangerous is, that you think, a window is a stair.
Mentally disordered people and to young people shouldn't try S.D. S.D. is no plaything!

How does a Shaman use Salvia Divnorum ?
The word Salvia was coined from the Latin word “salvare” and means “healing”. The Shamens (the Curanderos) used S.D. to contact the Salvia Goddess. They viewed with her in the future or cured diseased people.
The shamans consumed salvia in tow ways, Sublingual or smoked
Smoked: They put some leaves or extract in a pipe or chillong (special pipe). Modern Shamans are using bongs. They get the most effect, when they keep the smoke as lang as possible in there lungs. The saliva-falsh hit'em imidialty!
A high temperatured flame is an advantage, because Salvinorin A will be best decached at 240°C (464°F).
Sublingual: This means under the tong. The shaman has to thake 5-10 of the FRESH lefes. He rolles them to a kind of cigarette. Its important, to keep the bitter juice under the thong. The psychoaktiv substance get destroyed by the gastric juice. It can only be absorbed over the mucosa.

How does a Shaman experience a Salvia-Flash?
Paracelsus said: “The dose makes the poison”.
In low dosages he'll see space warps and the body feeling will be different. Also the perception will change. Most people get fit of laughter.
In higher or very high dosages, the shaman will enter a new world/reality! He'll see colours totally different. Straight lines will be bended. There are some similar visuals as on a LSD flash.
Mostly on high doses and by the first time trying S.D., can it happen, that the shamans forget that they'll took S.D. This will change after some flashes.
The effect hits you in every case IMMIDEDIATELY! It takes about 1-15min. The flash comes very fast and it stays on the same level. In the end it'll go down in waves. First, you think you're back, and then, it'll hit you again and you're again away-

Whats a clone and how can I make it?
There are to ways to get a new plant:
1) You're Salvia blooms and gets pollinated
2) You make a clone
It gets very hard to bring a salvia blooming. Even more difficult is to find to plant blooming on the same time.
The other way, which is also Mother Nature's way, is to make a clone. A clone is a identical copy of the “original” plant. All the genes will be inherit.
If you like to make a clone, just visit the forum.

How can I fight against pest ?
Scale and Tetranychidae are just some insects, witch harm you're plant. I always try to kill them on a natural way. I use for ex tabaco. Just but some tabaco in to boiling water. Let the hole thing cool down and putt he tabcao-watter into a spray. You can kill almost every pest with tabcao. It's a very strong venom.
You also can use “nemoil”.

Help! My plant has some broun leafes
Cool down. As good as every plant has this from time to time. Mostly there's no problem and even scientists can't explain this phenomena.
But keep a eye on the plant, some time it could indicate wrong a environment..

Does the plant need a high humidity?
Depends on what was before. If the plant is accustomed to high humidity, then she need some time, before you can put her in to a low humidity environment.
I think, its necessary to keep the same humidity over e long time, so she hasn't got any stress to acclimate.
You can simpler acclimate her, when you use a plastic bag. Just put it over the plant and make some holes. Every day 1 little hole more until you can remove the bag (use a see-trough bag!).

Can a drugtest indicate salvia divnorum?
Yes, it does. But I don't think the police will make a special-salvia test. Otherwise they'll find nothing. They mostly search for the popular drugs

Historical
There exist more than 700 American species of sage but only one Salvia Divinorum. (Divine sage)
At an expedition in October 1962, the Swiss scientist Albert Hofmann (picture above) and Gordan Wasson met the shaman Marina Sabina. (Picture in centre). She offered them a S.D. plant. The two scientists brought the plant to Europe . Most of the sages known today derive from this plant.
S.D. was mostly known by Aztec, Mazatec, Maya and Cuicatex Indians.
Salvia Divinorum means "Ska Pastora" in mazatec language and became „Hojas de la Pastora“ in Spanish. It means „Leaves from Maria the shepard“. Nevertheless, the Catholic Church does not know a Maria the Shepard and the Mazatecs did not know sheeps until the arrival of the Spanish emperors! It is therefore likely that the plant was brought over by somebody else after the conquest of Mexico .
The famous botanist W. Emboden discovered that in the headdress of Kimi (god of the dead of the Maya) there is a sage leaf although the sage plant has never been seen in Yucatan . Even tough it may be possible that the plant was cultivated at that time.
The mazatecs, aztecs and Cuicatex Indians did not consume this potent drung only for pleasure. Its consumption was bound to strict rules and ceremonies and only the shamans were allow to consume a psychoactive dose. The majority used S.D in small doses against rheumatism, headache and anaemia. There has never been proof that S.D. has a positive effect on theses illnesses. Nevertheless, the descendants oft the Mazatecs use Salvia Divinorum still to day for healing and prophecies.
Sadly, the Spanish Conquerers have destroyed many old chronicles, statues and other valuables, hence we do not know much about their culture. One of the very few kept documents ist the “Codex of Dresden” (see below) where you can make out sage leaf on the headdress of Kimi, the god of the dead of the Maya.
In modern times, S.D. is known as the „Businessman LSD“ because ist effect appears after only a few minutes (1-20 minutes) like a businessman's lunchbreak.
Only in the last decades the most important substancies of content were found and analysed. Therefore, further discoveries are most likely...

Maria Sabina (1896-1985) was a Mazatec shaman. She used S.D. beside other drugs (for ex. Psychoactive mushrooms aka Magi Mushrooms) for Rituals an Healing.
The explorer R. Wasson and Dr. Phil A. Hofmann met Maria and made with here Magic Mashroom session. The European explorer became a S.D. plant to take with them back to Europe .

How can I support Salvia-Flash.ch ?
The work with website requires very much time. I'm a “privat Person” and I do this “job” with very much goodwill.
I like to save this divine plant from it's extermination. Perhaps it's a bit utopia, but every plant with a new home, gives this plant a better chance to survive.
