Salvia divinorum use, experiences and other info.
Welcome to salvia.net, a site dedicated to a plant variously named Salvia divinorum, Ska Pastora, Diviner's Mint, Sally-D and Lady Salvia. Though its psychoactive properties have been known to the Mexican Mazatec Indians for ages, it was relatively recent that the plant drew the attention of Western ethnobotanists, and even more recent (the early 90's) that its active component, salvinorin A, was isolated. Salvinorin A turned out to be the strongest natural hallucinogen known to man.
In recent years salvia has become increasingly popular amongst explorers of nonordinary states of consciousness. Because salvia enjoyed a legal status for years, researchers had the opportunity to study the mechanisms of its effects and possible therapeutic applications.
This website keeps you up to date on current research being conducted and its legal status around the world. Salvia.net also informs you about salvia's history, its chemistry, how to grow the plant yourself, how to use it safely and effectively, and invites you to share your personal experiences with this extraordinary hallucinogen.
The effects of salvia are overwhelming, especially when smoked. Because of this, one must carefully prepare oneself for the experience and have at least a general idea of what to expect. We invite you to browse this site before embarking on your salvia journey and hope it helps your first experience to be pleasant and meaningful.

April 17, 2012 Czech police arrests Salvia vendor
A 48-year old man from Karvina, Czech Republic, was arrested after selling Salvia divinorum through a website. On his website he claimed the effects of Salvia to be similar to marijuana and methamphetamine. Salvia is illegal in Czech Republic. The man is charged with illegal distribution of drugs and unauthorised handling of psychotropic substances and poisons.
He was trading in salvia from the autumn of 2009 till last summer. He defended himself saying he did not know that it was a psychotropic substance. Detectives registered 90 clients from all over the Czech Republic who had bought salvia from the man for 40,000 crowns (~$2100) in total.
Most of them testified that they had not felt the promised effects after its consumption and said they suffered from headache and nausea.

March 22 2012: Enlightment
"Roughly then reality was replaced with alternate reality. I want to make it clear that all hallucinations in the past for me have been cartoony and obviously fake, but amazing. This was simply alternate reality, as everything my friend said was different than what I experienced."
