Salvia Legal Status By Country
Salvia Legal Status, until recent years, was a completely unregulated plant. Expert evidence shows that there is no compelling reason for regulation. Despite the lack of reasonable motivation, lawmakers worldwide have turned their attention towards salvia, as it has grown in popularity and gained mainstream acceptance.
When you Buy Salvia know that it is safe and non-addictive. This means that is does not meet the qualifications to become a restricted substance in most jurisdictions. In the United States, the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency initiated an evaluation of Salvia divinorum in 2007 and so far has found no cause for scheduling salvia as a controlled substance. However, many U.S. states and many other countries have passed legislation effecting salvia and salvia users. Salvia legislation and negative publicity is largely driven by fear and ignorance, but whether or not the fear is founded in reality, the legal consequences are still real.
Where laws exist concerning Salvia divinorum, they are often new, confusing and constantly changing. To governments and law officials, the drug is very new. Even in jurisdictions where using salvia is completely legal, it is possible that officials exposed to salvia will be fearful of the drug and skeptical of the legality, and so pursue prosecution. On the other hand, there are places where laws regulating salvia are so freshly minted that law enforcement may be totally unaware of salvia’s legal status.
Salvia divinorum is legal to possess and consume in most places, but ultimately, salvia users need to take responsibility for their actions and protect themselves. The best course of action is to use salvia in a safe, private setting and to avoid publicizing possession or use of salvia. Even in circumstances where there are no established regulations against salvia, it is wise to avoid drawing attention and becoming a target.
The Legal Status of Salvia
In what country Salvia divinorum is legal:
It must be understood that legal status is constantly undergoing changes and reinterpretations. Even in countries where Salvia divinorum is legal, there could be situations where there are still penalties involved. For instance, in France there is a bizarre law stating that ‘the sale of substances presented as having the same effects as narcotic substances or plants’ is prohibited. So, in this case, if Salvia divinorum is sold to someone under the impression that it is a plant, all is well. But if it is being sold under the label of a ‘hallucinogenic’ or ‘narcotic-like’ plant, you may be prosecuted as if it were an illegal substance. This goes to further emphasize the importance of thoroughly reviewing all the information you can find, preferably all laws on the books regarding specific and general drugs, before purchasing, using, growing, or selling any controversial substance.

Mama says
Hey..were you able to get salvia?I live in India too (New Delhi)..reply asap.
John Reed says
I am not sure. The problem we have with shipping to other countries is that we don’t speak the language and don’t know whether its legal or not. Even if it is legal certain countries restrict the importation because of reasons to do with agricultural laws and the protection of the local environment.

John Reed says
Unfortunately we do not ship any product outside the United States, due to unknown legal statue and agricultural related restrictions. We also cannot guarantee arrival, that increases our risk tremendously for potential for fraud, charge backs and false claims.
Momo says
In some states it’s illegal to sell salvia but “never” passed a law for illegal possession would you be able to ship to those states if so many people recommended getting it shipped over UPS instead of USPS is there any way of doing that
John Reed says
Shipping within the United States really makes no difference as packages are not subject to customs checks, one carrier over the other makes little difference. We have never had any issues, it sounds more like an urban myth.
As long as your not breaking the law then we will send it out.
Momo says
