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 20X contains 40mg/g, and 1 gram is equivalent to 33 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 20X is recommended for novice 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 20X

Salvia divinorum leaves contain two active compounds known as Salvinorin A & Salvianorin B. Salvinorin A being the primary compound, has been deemed 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 trips 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 25 mg for medium to strong effect. Important keep the flame on the Salvia Extract 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 20X is: 400 / 20 = 0.02 grams/hit.  A strong to uncomfortable experience = 0.04 grams/hit.

    I buyed 10g leaves and 1g 20x. I tried Salvia D. some years ago and needed some smokes till it worked. I ordered 10g leaves and 20x, because i want sure leaves would work – i heard SD is getting stronger the often u use and i hopped leaves alone would work for me anytime. It became truth, just the leaves alone give me such an undescripable trip so i don’t need to use extract anymore. if i use extract now i leave world for xx billion miles with only 0,01g extract.

    This is a very very powerful product compared to Salvia leaves and other salvia extracts. One advantage is that the quantity of smoke required to reach the effect is lower in comparison with leaves. But it is easy to take too much, which results in means being catapulted from the reality for 5-10 min.

    My girlfriend and I tested 70-100mg smoked in a normal wood pipe (not at the same time, it’s important to have a sitter for this kind of experiences). She was completely absent for 7 minutes, but the effect lasted around 15 minutes. During the effect she had the feeling to be in the presence of other beings, that showed to her memories of her life, she had the feeling of being in a place that was familiar to her but soon after that, she came back.

    In my case, I just remember having the time to put the pipe on the table and soon after everything was different, I wasn’t in my room anymore, I was in a very animated place, but there was a grey spot that became larger and larger until there were nothing left in my visual field, at that point my ego got destroyed and from that point, everything became a roller coaster with meaningful images and memories being display in front of me. Soon after I could remember what was happening, who I was, where I was and why I was felling all those things.
    It was amazing, we have tried it a couple of time since then, always a very intense but interesting experience, I highly recommend it at least once in life.

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. The federal government says products containing salvia divinorum and its active ingredient, salvinorin A, are considered natural health products and, as such, must be authorized by Health Canada, before they can be sold. Salvia is unapproved for sale in Canada.
 Chile Legal Illegal Illegal Legal “On August 8, 2007, the Chilean government issued a decree making the trafficking of Salvia divinorum and salvinorin A illegal.”
 Croatia Illegal Illegal Illegal Illegal Salvia divinorum was banned in Croatia in April 2008 by addition to the official list of illegal substances and plants.
 Czech Republic Illegal Illegal Illegal Illegal Salvia divinorum was banned by law nr. 106/2011 Coll., effective 22 April 2011, which added it to the list of illegal substances. Holding leaves, plants and extracts containing salvinorin A and growing them is considered illegal.
 Denmark Legal Medically and Scientifically Legal Medically and Scientifically Legal Medically and Scientifically Legal Medically and Scientifically With effect from 23 August 2003, Salvia divinorum and salvinorin A were classed as ‘category B’ drugs in Danish law. Category B includes psilocybin mushrooms, cocaine, amphetamine, and several others substances that are only legal for medicinal and scientific purposes. Possession carries a penalty of up to 2 years in prison.
 Finland Legal Medically Legal Medically Legal Medically Legal Medically Finland passed legislation in August 2002 making it illegal to import Salvia divinorum without a prescription from a doctor.
 France Legal Legal Legal Legal It is legal to sell Salvia Divinorium as a non-narcotic.
 Germany Illegal Illegal Illegal Illegal Salvia divinorum was effectively banned in Germany in February 2008 by addition to the official list of illegal substances. Previously the government tried various ways to make Salvia divinorum illegal in Germany.
 Indonesia Legal Legal Legal Legal
 Ireland Illegal Illegal Illegal Illegal Salvia divinorum is no longer legal in the Republic of Ireland. Salvinorin A, which is Salvia divinorum’s main psychotropic molecule, is listed as a controlled substance in S.I. 552/2011 Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) Regulations, as is “any product whether natural or otherwise including any plant or plant material of any kind or description, which contains any proportion of the said substance”.
 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. The Italian Ministry of Heath Decree (in Italian) (Google translated into English).

 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.
