Trustpilot

Salvia divinorum produces an intense psychedelic experience that can take you to a completely different place and time! Salvia was discovered by the Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca Mexico, who made use of its strong hallucinogenic properties for spiritual journeys and to explore difference planes of existence. Each salvia trip lasts 10 minutes. Salvia is legal in most parts of the world including the United States.

Our Salvia Extract 10X contains 25mg/g, and 1 gram is equivalent to 23 Oz’s of Salvia leaves. Our Salvia Extract is made using a standardization method, meaning that every gram contains exactly the same amount of Salvinorin A. Salvia extract 10X is recommended for beginner Salvia users.

By purchasing more than 1 gram you can save up to 35% more than if you purchase single gram individually! 

Effects of Salvia Extract 10X

Salvia divinorum contains two active compounds known as Salvinorin A & Salvianorin B. Salvinorin A being the primary compound, is known to be the single strongest isolated hallucinogenic substance known to men that is naturally occurring.

You may have heard/experienced the effects of magic mushrooms, and cacti, Salvia is in its own category in itself, the effects of Salvia being unique. The Salvia trip begins quickly, peaking for 5-10 minutes, and then tapering off for another 20-30 minutes. Where does your salvia trip rank? Check out our S-A-L-V-I-A Trip Rating Scale.

Dosing & Usage Instructions

  1. Grab a torch lighter/regular lighter and burn around 0.2 gram for medium to strong effect. Important keep the flame on Salvia at all times while its burning.
  2. If you are new to salvia, start with a smaller amount to test your sensitivity. The effect of salvia are different for each person and can be very overwhelming for some.
  3. It’s important to use the salvia in a quiet, dark environment. If you have no experience with salvia or other entheogenic substances, having a sober sitter present is absolutely necessary.

The weight of a moderately strong dose of extract can be estimated by: 400 / ”X-factor” = dose in milligrams. So a moderately strong dose of 10X is: 400 / 10 = 0.04 grams/hit.  A strong to uncomfortable experience = 0.08 grams/hit. 

All SalviaExtract orders ship within a day and come with a full money back guarantee. Free domestic shipping on all U.S. orders paid with Bitcoin/E-Check/AMEX/Visa/Mastercard.

Thank you for shopping with SalviaExtract, and please remember us for all your Salvia needs!

Salvia is not a party drug! For more tips about using salvia, check our Salvia divinorum Wiki Page and Smoking Salvia.

    I tried the 10x just to get my feet wet and I have to say I loved it. I’ve tried many psychedelics over the years and this one is totally in it’s own category. I’m currently moving up to higher extracts.

    My first experience was with Salvia Divinorum leaves, I chewed them. After that I tried smoking the 5X extract.
    It has to be said I had no effect whatsoever the first 2 times when I smoked the 5X extract.

    When chewing the leaves for over 45 minutes I experienced a mild high and whenever a reflection of the sun struck my eyes I noticed a thick ray of light that stayed there for a while. Colors were more intense and it seemed like there was fog all around me in my living room. The fog I am talking about cannot have been smoke since I wasn’t smoking during this session. I felt very relaxed and moved slowly.

    The third time smoking the 5X extract it worked and I had a huge laugh kick. For a moment I had the idea I had the answer to every question I ever asked myself. As soon as I realized how bizarre this was I started laughing even louder. This confused me a bit. I never left this reality, it felt like I was weighing a ton and could not move a muscle!

    This last experience was very interesting because it made me realize I might have all the answers to my own questions. Maybe they are already somewhere in my head and I only have to find a way to access this part of my consciousness? This definitely needs more research.

    The 10X experience was very intense for me. I did it twice, once accompanied by a very good friend a psychonaut, the 2nd time all by myself. I recommend you always have a sitter!

    When I started the trip with my friend we decided he would go first. He had a very long laugh kick and was trying to talk to me. My friend tried to stand up but never made it there. He came back to me after 15 minutes and explained he was a bit scared in the beginning when the effect hit him but he very soon realized he had to go with the trip and not fight it in any way. Overall he enjoyed it and wants to try it again in a little while.

    My trip was very crazy and amazed me completely. As soon as the effect hit me I stood up and started walking around. My friend told me I went right passed all object in the room, not touching them, even though I was moving very slow and uncoordinated.
    It even went this far that I walked outside still trying to talk to my friend. When I arrived outside I noticed mountains behind the houses across the street even though we clearly don’t have mountains in my street.
    I spoke to my friend and told him I had to show him ‘something’. He asked me multiple times what this something was. I just told him he had to see it himself to understand it. I arrived at the place that I wanted to show my friend (15 meters from my house on a small grass field) and just stood there. He asked me again, what do you want me to see? Then I came back to reality and completely forgot what I was looking for.

    The 2nd session of 10X was different from any of my other Salvia experiences. I was all by myself. Remember to have a sitter, I won’t be doing this again!

    I took a long & large hit of a bong with a well loaded bowl of Salvia extract. I kept the smoke in my lungs as long as I could but after 30 seconds I already felt reality was slipping away…

    I was on my bed looking at the ceiling, everything became foggy again.

    Large clouds in my room and I felt the presence of another entity. I tried to contact ‘it’. I succeeded but could not see, smell or touch her. Yes, Her. It was a woman, not a girl, a woman.
    I remember her asking if I was willing to come with her, not asking with words but asking by working my emotions.

    I noticed I was trying to keep my eyes shut but then relaxed and opened them. I was lying in a huge, and I mean HUGE grass field and all around me there were rabbits. Thousands, maybe millions of rabbits as far as I could see. I panicked and told her I did not want a ‘white rabbit’. I do not know why I specifically said ‘White Rabbit’. Maybe because Jefferson Airplane is one of my favorite songs haha. The Rabbits I saw where all grey expect for one in the center, this one was white.

    It felt like I was sucked into another reality and as soon as I wanted to leave it I was into chaos again. I found myself in a dimension of colliding realities and my brain was working overtime. Right at the point where I forgot about ‘my own identity’, I wanted to go back to reality as I knew it before the trip.

    This happened after a few minutes that felt like a day, I was happily in shock and had some tea to calm down the nerves. I slept really well afterwards and the next day I felt kind of mentally reborn.

    OH WOW! 5* for Salvinorin A

    It’s a trance like state where you write a novel about one thought if that’s understandable but no visual hallucination it was like being on NO(laughing gas and weed) tbh, way too quick to remember anything in detail also 0.5g isn’t enough for more than a session.All the hype is overrated

    First time havin’ a Salvia trip was with this extract. It was magic, started seeing a world of small houses and dwarves in my room, my bed was making waves pushing me on my wall, then I felt like these things itching all over my body and before I even realised it, I was laughing my ass off. This lasted about 2 minutes, then for the next 15 I had vision distortions. Best trip I ever had in fact. Can’t imagine myself on x50 and over!

    Great product, real must!

Salvia divinorum

What is Salvia divinorum ?

Salvia divinorum is a hallucinogenic plant, traditionally used by Central American shamans for healing and spiritual insight. It interacts with the brain in a completely unique way that produces psychedelic effects unlike any other hallucinogenic drug that induces astral projection, divination and out of body experiences and enhance spiritual development.

For more information please consult the following online resources: Salvia divinorum and How to use Salvia Extracts

How do I use Salvia Extracts ?

To use Salvia Extract follow these simple steps:

  1. Buy Salvia Extract, we recommend starting with the explorer pack for those who have never tried Salvia 10x and 20x offer a perfect entry point. For those who like to live on the edge we recommend the expert pack, Salvia 20x, 40x and 60x will provide you with enough punch to “break through”.
  2. A water pipe/bong, or hand hand pipe and a lighter, we recommend using a torch lighter is possible.
  3. A sitter (person to keep an eye on you during your session) avoid being in large groups.
  4. A comfortable safe environment where you can comfortably feel no one will judge you.
  5. Put 0.1 to 0.2 grams into your smoking device light up keep flame on salvia extract while inhaling at the same time. Inhale the smoke and hold it in for as long as possible. Release and let Salvia show you a whole new side of life you have never experienced before.

For a more in-depth look at usages of salvia divinorum consult our how to smoke salvia guide.

As a first time buyer of salvia what should I buy?

We recommend starting with Salvia 10x or Salvia 20x. We offer a great explorer pack deal that includes both options at significant savings. If you are comfortable with the product, it is recommended to use a more powerful extract such as Salvia 40x and Salvia 60x, specials include our expert pack if your looking for more value. Most buyers prefer the most potent extracts, not only because they are more cost effective, but because of its more potent effect requiring less to achieve a Salvia break through trip.

What is the difference between Salvia 10x, 20x, 40x and 60x ?

What is the difference between 10x, 20x, 40x, and 60x ? What does it all mean and why are you paying so much more for Salvia 60x versus 10x. Salvia divinorum leaves contain Salvianorin-A which is what makes Salvia special and causes its hallucinogenic effects. 1 oz of Salvia divinorum leaves contains approximately 1.2 mg of Salvianorin-A, you have to chew 1 oz of fresh Salvia leaves just to get 1.2 mg of Salvianorin-A, which has very weak effects. Chewing Salvia divinorum leaves can be great if you are using it for healing purposes, but not for spiritual Quests. Central Americans that used Salvia divinorum in rituals had to burn a very large stack of salvia leaves for their shaman to get enough salvianorina-A to have his vision quests. Rest assured no bond fires required with Salvia Extracts.

We remove all the useless salvia plant matter and extract the active compounds redeposit them into a single gram. Lets take Salvia 10x  1 gram as an example, in each gram you will find 10 times what you find in 1 oz of Salvia leaves, it takes 10 oz of leaves to make 1 gram of Salvia 10x. Now compare Salvia 60x with 72 mg/gram of salvianorin-A it takes about 70 to 80 oz of leaves for 1 single gram. The stronger the extract the more Salvianorin-A product you get packed in a single gram but the more resources it takes to create it and thats why their is such a steep difference in price between 10x and 60x.

Legal status of Salvia divinorum by country
Country Possession Sale Transport Cultivation Notes
 Australia Illegal Illegal Illegal Illegal As of 1 June 2002, Australia became the first country to ban Salvia and salvinorin. According to the Australian Drugs and Poisons Committee, salvia had not yet shown evidence of damage or threat to public health/safety but had potential to be abused. In a statement which has been criticized as self-negating the committee said, “there was no evidence of traditional therapeutic use other than in shamanistic healing rituals”. On 1 June 2008 the State of Queensland made Salvia divinorum a Schedule 2 Dangerous Drug in the same category as Cannabis Sativa and GHB.
 Belgium Illegal Illegal Illegal Illegal In October 2004, “salvorin A”, a misspelling of salvinorin A, was added to the Belgian list of illegal products, so the law was actually banning a non-existent substance. Two years later, in October 2006, the mistake was corrected, and the whole Salvia divinorum plant was made explicitly illegal.
 Brazil Illegal Illegal Illegal Illegal Salvia is illegal in Brazil since 2012.
 Canada Legal Illegal Illegal Illegal In Canada Salvia is an unapproved herbal supplement that is prohibited by law for sale in Canada.

 Italy Illegal Illegal Illegal Illegal In August 2004, the Italian government decreed salvinorin A “a substance with hallucinogenic properties that may cause conditions of abuse and can manifest latent psychiatric pathologies like acute psychosis and depressive psychosis even in an irreversible way” and put it and the plant Salvia divinorum on their ‘table I’ of outlawed psychotropic substances in March 2005. The Italian government referred to an evaluation of Salvia made by the Italian National Health Institute, assessing it as “a powerful natural hallucinogen” to justify their decision.

 New Zealand Need License Need License Need License Need License In November 2007 New Zealand National party MP Jacqui Dean called for the government to take action, saying – “Salvia Divinorum is a hallucinogenic drug, which has been banned in Australia, and yet here in New Zealand it continues to be sold freely.” and “We’re dealing with a dangerous drug here, with the minister’s wait and see approach like playing Russian Roulette with young people’s lives.” Jacqui Dean has similar concerns about the ‘party pill’ benzylpiperazine (BZP), over which Associate Health Minister Jim Anderton (Progressive party) has accused her of indulging in political grandstanding, saying – “Perhaps Mrs Dean doesn’t subscribe to the idea that any Government must balance the need to act promptly with its responsibilities to act fairly and follow due process, particularly where its actions affect those who are currently acting within existing legal constraints.” When questioned by Maori Party MP Tariana Turia, on why she was unwilling to take the same prohibitory line on smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol as she took on BZP Ms Dean said “Alcohol and tobacco have been with our society for many, many years.” In September 2007, the Social Tonics Association of New Zealand (STANZ) called for Jacqui Dean to step down from speaking on drug issues after she demonstrated “a lack of credibility in calling for the ban of dihydrogen monoxide (H2O – i.e. water.)” STANZ Chairman Matt Bowden said – “The DHMO hoax played on the member this week is not a joke, it highlights a serious issue at the heart of drug policy making. Ms Dean demonstrated a ‘ban anything moderately harmful’ reflex. This approach is just downright dangerous.” – “Jacqui Dean has clearly demonstrated a lack of credibility in her requests to the Minister to consider banning water; She has also seriously embarrassed her National Party colleagues who can no longer have confidence in her petitions to ban BZP or anything else.” As of 18 July 2013 Salvia is illegal to sell in New Zealand without a license under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2013. This act is designed to prohibit any psychoactive substances which have not been approved by the Psychoactive Substances Regulatory Authority.

 United Kingdom Ambiguous Illegal Illegal Illegal In September 2001, in answer to a parliamentary question from Ann Widdecombe MP, asking the Secretary of State for the Home Office “what plans he has to review the legal status of the hallucinogen Salvia divinorum”, Bob Ainsworth, a parliamentary Under-Secretary for the UK Home Office, stated that “The Government are not aware of any evidence of significant misuse of this plant and have no current plans to review its legal status”. Following a local newspaper story in October 2005, Bassetlaw MP John Mann raised an Early Day Motion calling for Salvia divinorum to be banned in the UK (EDM796). The motion only received 11 signatures. It was later reported that John Mann had written to the Home Secretary in October 2008, urging her to take action with regard to salvia’s legal status. The same report said that the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs had met to discuss salvia, among other substances, in April 2009, and that there would be a follow-up meeting in May. The Observer newspaper gave the content of Mann’s letter to Jacqui Smith “Sadly the issue has come to light again as our young people are using the internet and sites like YouTube to broadcast their friends taking the drug and witnessing the hallucinogenic effects. Our young people are at risk and a wider cultural attachment to this drug seems to be developing that I am sure you agree – regardless of its legal status – needs nipping in the bud.” Home Office minister, Phil Woolas, confirmed to parliament that the market in “legal highs” was now an issue for the government. When asked by an Ulster Unionist MP, Lady Hermon, whether the government intended to classify salvia as an illegal drug, Woolas said the home secretary had written to the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, the independent body that advises government on drugs, asking it to investigate. Woolas said the council had been asked to “provide advice to government on the availability and harms of psychoactive legal alternatives to illegal drugs, so-called ‘legal highs’, with a particular focus on protecting young people. I fully anticipate that this work will include salvia divinorum. The government’s position on its control will be informed by advisory council’s advice.” As of August 2013, Salvia divinorum and Salvinorum A remain legal to purchase, possess, sell, and use in the United Kingdom.

As of 25 May 2016, the New Psychoactive Substances Bill has an ambiguous effect on Salvia divinorum with only possession for personal use remaining unlisted in the act.

What is a Salvia divinorum experience like?

It is almost certainly not like what you expect. Even if you have considerable experience with other psychoactive drugs, you will find that salvia is significantly different from what you may have encountered before. Salvia divinorum is unique, and it is best understood on its own terms, and not by analogy with other substances. Salvia is not a recreational drug, rather, it is best used by those wishing to explore deep meditative states, spiritual realms, mysticism, the nature of consciousness and reality, or the possibilities of shamanistic healing. Experiences vary with the individual, set, and setting as well as with dose and route of administration. It produces a short-lived inebriation that is very different from that of alcohol. However, like alcohol it interferes with the ability to drive, produces incoordination (ataxia), and may produce slurred speech.

The inebriation, at low doses, can facilitate aesthetic and sensual appreciation. However, the experience is not marijuana-like, and salvia is not a marijuana substitute. At somewhat higher doses, visionary trances occur. The lowest level visions consist mainly of closed-eye imagery somewhat similar to the hypnagogic phenomena that many people experience when falling asleep. These tend to be two dimensional faint images. The term “eye candy” is an appropriate description of the interesting closed eye visuals that are not confused with reality. At this level communication with others is still easy and one can move about although clumsiness will occur. With a higher dose vivid visual images occur even with eyes open, and with eyes closed one may completely enter the visionary world, and it will seem quite real, but upon opening ones eyes one will reestablish contact with ones surroundings. Speech patterns may be interfered with and communication is difficult. At still higher doses, one remains conscious but completely enters an inner realm and loses all contact with ones actual surroundings. Some people may move around in this deep trance state and for this reason a sitter is required for anyone seeking to explore such deep levels. With very high dosage a brief period of unconsciousness or at least the inability to subsequently remember the experience will occur. It is useful to have a scale to describe salvia experiences. One such rating scale is based on the mnemonic S-A-L-V-I-A.

Maybe the scale can help me know what to expect. What’s the scale?

The scale describes six different levels of effects, each one more intense than the previous. The overall intensity of a salvia divinorum experience is scored according to the highest scale level attained during the course of the experience.

S-A-L-V-I-A Trip Rating Scale

  • S – SUBTLE effects > Level 1
    Feel a sense of relaxation and increased sensual appreciation. This mild salvia trip is great for meditation and may help with sexual pleasure.
  • A – ALTERED perception > Level 2
    Colours and textures become more vivid, your thinking becomes less logical, and your mind more playful. Enjoy a greater appreciation for sounds/music. No visions occur at this level.
  • L – LIGHT visionary state > Level 3
    Closed eye visuals (clear imagery: vision of objects and designs, pattern and colour distortions). The effects of open-eye visuals are similar to the hypnagogic phenomena that some people experience at sleep onset; objects in the room will appear to be moving, but are distinguishable from reality.
  • V – VIVID visionary state > Level 4
    Open-eyes: Complex three-dimensional realistic appearing scenes occur (e.g. having a birds eye view of a city with tiny people walking around in it).  Closed eyes: Enter a dreamlike/fantasy world where everything will feel real and indistinguishable from reality: Journey to other lands (foreign or imaginary), meet with beings (entities, spirits), time travel to other ages, live the life of another being.
  • I – IMMATERIAL existence > Level 5
    At this stage you may no longer be aware of your body (out of body experience). You will have some lucid thoughts but will have merged completely into the experience. You’ll loose complete touch with reality (where your physical body is and the room and people in it), experiences include: Merging with God/dess, tapping into your mind and/or universal consciousness, fusion with objects (merging with furniture piece)
  • A – AMNESIC effects > Level 6
    Loss of consciousness. The individual may fall, remain immobile or thrash around. This is not a desirable level, because you will not be able to recall the experience. For this reason a sitter is essential to ensure the safety of someone experiencing either Level 5 or Level 6.
