Yes, i know. We've all heard about salvia. Its supposedly great. Well tonight at my friends house, we drank cough syrup and smoked a lot of weed, and he told me i should smoke some sage. It is a GREAT buzz. Just the sage you buy in the spice rack at your local grocery store. If you smoke it you can get a nice buzz. Sorry if this sounds bad, im whacked out of my skull right now.

so let me get this straight, you smoked salvia, "sage", you got at a supermarket to get a fucking BUZZ! What the fuck? First of all what supermarket carries salvia divornium or slendens and Second that buzz you got was from the cough syrup or the weed because you need to hit a specific threshold with salvia to feel ANYTHING.

Do you even know how to smoke salvia correctly? Dood, i always use an extraction with mine, you should too. You wont get shit most likely, unless you use a good ass pipe or most likely a bong with a single potency version of the shit.

The SALVIA starts working when you shoot up into a dream world and your friend wakes you up out of a trance 10 minutes later.

this is JCX's friend who told him about sage. sage WILL get you buzzed but its not anything like a salvia buzz. NOTHIGN. its completely different. but it does get you high. give it a try. if you can, buy "McCormick" 'Rubbed Dalmation Sage' smoek a phat bowl. get buzzed. enjoy. its really a mindfuck, that sage. wow.

Salvia apiana � White Sage.
Used ceremonially as incense during Peyote meetings and other Native American rituals.
-from some seed supplier.

That it?

No, thats not it, from what i gathered, its from the Dalmation region in Yugoslavia, i can't find a latin name for it anywhere though. Thanks for help in looking it up tho hopefully one of us will find it.

Found it! It's proper name is "Salvia officinalis" thats the sage that is in your spice cabinet right now. Go smoke some right now, it works best if smoked through a steamroller. It will really burn for about 5 seconds, but keep holding it and the burning goes away. Its a strange buzz, but a buzz nonetheless. Happy smoking!

well, it contains alpha-thujone(a-thujone) but i don't know exactly how much or how cool that would be.. i mean you were on DXM and weed..

Define 'strange buzz' JCX...

alpha-Thujone is the main psychadelic chemical in Absinthe found in Wormwood.

beta-Thujone is also found in both Absinthe and Salvia Officinalis. What makes me feel better about this sage being psychoactive is the fact that beta-Thujone is actually more prominent in Absinthe than alpha, though it said in one profile that the Salvia Officinalis contained both but the only toxic(worthwhile in my language) chemical constituant was alpha, but thats ok because the ratio it is found in the essential oils, Thuja, used in Absinthe is 33% alpha-Thujone/67% beta-Thujone.
