Salvia, to me as a Botanist, is the generic name of unnumerable species and hybrids of plants that are very popular here in soCal because they are drought tolerant. What exactly IS Salvia?

In my ongoing pursuit to be servicey I shall tell the tale of my one and only salvia experience:

It was about a year ago, my friend -- an emo-beard-wearing fellow who is always darting around the country working at various National Parks' ski lodges and whatever -- had some Salvia. He described the experience to be of about a 90 second "trip" tops, almost akin to a very very mini acid trip, but with some potential to "freak out" a little more. Suffice to say, him and I are old pals who have had our fair share of trips back in the day, so I had confidence our "veteran status" would make this less intimidating since we are well aware of what real (neé 10 hour visual-filled analytical festivals of surreal) trips are all about!

so! We partake on a friend's apartment balcony. When I started to barely feel something, I went inside for a moment. I then came back out to the balcony about what I thought was a good fifteen minutes later, and I said "Dude. You do this shit a GREAT DISSERVICE by telling people beforehand that this shit only lasts a minute and a half, I'm STILL FEELING this shit!" .. he looks at his watch then looks up to me and says "uh.. you smoked it about 30 seconds ago."

30 seconds had passed and I thought it was 15 minutes. For the next few minutes, it was a ridiculous amount of pot-level laughter. So, to sum, there wasn't anything earth-shatteringly eye-opening world-changing thoughts, it was basically good for some very fast silly fun.

This is why I somewhat call bullshit on that first clip, because it didn't hit me *that* immediately (I mean.. the moment he puts the shit down he's goin' nuts), but eh, there could be different strains, or some people may have a low tolerance, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt :[]

I know I am old, because I keep reading this as "saliva" and wondering how in the hell you smoke it.

Sometimes I like to film Myself when I'm on some super-strong coke and getting a beej from Archangel Raph and generating some major supernovas across the galaxies. Then I remember I don't need to take vids of anything cos I'm omniscient and I have total recall. But by then the beej is over cos Raph chokes easily and his unconscious body lies on the carpet covered in supernova dust.

Anyways, these kids are fucking Satanists.

I feel like just going to keep hearing, for the rest of my life, "Steve. Steve. Steve. Dude. You good, dude? Steve. Steve. Steve. Steve. Steve. Steve. Steve. Steve. Dude. Steve. Dude. ::disturbing chuckle:: Dude! Steve. You good, dude? Steve. Dude. Steve."

George Lamb and the BBC did a fantastic documentary about legal highs-- there's one scene where he tries salvia for himself. Also, he is hot.

I was really grossed out and horribly confused for a minute, because I thought this was about smoking saliva. I would have given that first guy some of mine.

@Victor Ward: The sad thing is, I was thinking of how another person's saliva could get you high, and I was like, "Yeah, chemistry or some shit!"

My brain don't work so good.

@Victor Ward: Yeah maybe salvia isn't such a great name for a drug. I mean, would you try a drug called "chit" or something?

Is this the same salvia that I have growing in my backyard? Will this fad be over by the time my kid is 12?

@CaptainFantastic: "Salvia" is a broad plant genus, which includes garden sage and cat mint. Salvia divinorum is the hallucinogenic variety. Since it's native to Oaxaca, and not generally sold as a landscaping plant, chances are unlikely you had this variety growing in your back yard.

@BadUncle: My neighbor smoked mine and had quite a trip according to him. Cannot say I've tried it though. My drugs of choice are wine, vodka and gin (only on a hot day).

@momof3wildkids: Hey, you may have it growing in your back. But "salvia" is about as brand-specific as the word "car." Here are just a few of the more common landscaping varieties:

@Inescapeable Picnic:I know it's horrible to say, but when I see people outside of big cities I always think this. I wonder how people can survive in Mobile, AL? I mean I would be cool for a week and then I would find my way out. I would do anything. Clawing out. Or salvia, apparently.

Wow! Who knew I could actually make money off of flowers in my garden. I literally have too much salvia -- to the point I'm killing the stuff off because it is overtaking my garden. No more. Time to see this crap and make some dough.
