Salvia Effects

Reports on trip experiences and information on salvia effects on humans when leaves or extract is smoked or eaten. Including seminal medical reports, enthopharmalogical research and subjective exploration of experiences. Details on what to expect when smoking S. divinorum.

While the intensity, duration and subjective experience of the diviner's sage trip can all be affected by the method, amount and context of the ingestion, there are several common underlying threads that run throughout mankind’s relationship with salvia effects. Reports on the various effects salvia causes can be found here and elsewhere on the web in the form of trip and usage experience reports, but always try to keep in mind when reading these, however, that the sacred plant's effects are quite subjective and differ greatly in each person and use, especially according to set and setting (the two great factors aknowledged by the earliest New-world psychedelic explorers such as Timothy Leary).

Many of the experience reports state that diviner's sage causes a dichotomy of an out-of-body diss-associative nature in contrast with an intense and deeply introspective magnification of sensory input and sensitivity. These two diverging modalities comprise the whole of the emotional experience of the plant's effects in relation to a healthy healing and spiritual exercise.

The long term effects are not known and there is very sceintific or medical little data on them, and what effect salvia may have on current user's health in the near or distant future is an issue to be concered about, says the DEA on in thier section on its effects. There is a long history of usage of this plant to train shamanic initiates in how to handle altered states through its effects and no reported negative side effects of salvia divinorum, but as previously noted this is mostly antecdotal information.
