Salvia Divinorum (C or D)?

Hippie friend claimed that the bad trip problem was highly concentrated extracts, you’re really supposed to just chew the leaves for a while.

its funny how this has permanently marred every other type of "legal weed", like some of my friends won't touch Delta 8 because they remember salvia

I'd be immediately wary of cannabis alternatives given how horrendous "Spice" turned out to be. Never heard of Delta 8 until now.

I liked Salvia (that was when it was legal) but never tried the extracts.

I was just listening to this guy on the Entheogenic Evolution podcast who has an interesting sounding book* about the nature of "visionary beings" and also had some pet ideas about affinity for salvia or otherwise.

Delta 8 is a slightly altered THC, and it does occur naturally if sparingly in the plant. (Delta 9 is the THC we know.) It's very, very mild, and I wouldn't be using it if I could get the real thing.

yeah it's basically the Bud Lite of weed, similar effect but weaker and kinda different. I wouldn't use it either if I had weed available, but it's not a bad substitute. Particularly the edibles which get me pretty high but not in a full-on panic the way "real" edibles can. Still funny to bring it up like "no seriously, it's *almost* legal weed" and watch people freak out like "no, never again"

i had the saddest, emptiest ego-death experience on salvia. felt more like actual death really

god you guys make it sound real appealing 😱
