There have been many people both online and offline spreading a large amount of misinformation about salvia divinorum. Salvia is not a replacement for marijuana or any other type of legal high no matter what news media and online videos try and present it as. Salvia is only meant to be used for self exploration and personal growth.
Online stores that do sell salvia divinorum try their best to place a label on it as "incense only" or "not for human consumption" which in itself is actually counter productive. Salvia was meant for human consumption from those who originally used it and should still be done in the same manner. Salvia however is not a hallucinogen or psychoactive "drug" or anything that would ever be confused with lsd or mushrooms. Salvia in no way resembles these other illegal substances in either effects on the mind or body.
Smoking or using some other form of intake of salvia divinorum can create a dream like state in which you will be able to not only learn about who you truly are but can also help a person grow from the inside out. Salvia has been known to help people kick drug addictions as well as depression and I personally believe that is done because of the personal growth that can develop with each salvia session a person does partake of.
Salvia can be a pretty powerful experience just like a very vivid dream and with salvia you either really enjoy what it has to offer or you know it is not for you. Salvia divinorum is not habit forming and could never even be used in a party like setting as all actual experiences need to be quiet and calm for the real personal journey to begin.
