Salvia was traditionally used by the Mazatec Indians in Oaxaca. Its original use was spiritual and for guidance
It was said to help a member of the tribe find something they misplaced or had lost. Also it was used to discover ones biggest fears.
Early UseSlide5
10 years ago scientist studying the drug traveled to Oaxaca in an attempt to find Salvia growing naturally.
Could NOT find any!All family members of tribes at their own personal “Stash” and didn’t want anyone to know where it was.
They don’t want to shareSlide6

SalviaSlide8
Salvia can be used in many different ways and still give you the same hallucinations
Smoked
-pipe
-bong
-vaporizer
Chew the dry leaves- you can actually chew dried leaves and it will produce a hallucinations as well. Just not as intense.
Use of the drugSlide9
Juice Extract- dried, boiled plant will release extract of juice.The most effective use of drug that will produce most powerful hallucinations is the intake of pure Salvinorin or through the smoke of the fortified leaf.
- those who try pure Salvinorin never take again.
Use Cont.Slide10
Salvia is an herb that causes you to hallucinateAlthough it is different from all other hallucinogens
-Kappa Opioid receptors-Other hallucinogens effect the Serotonin receptors.
Less potential for addiction, but very different hallucination.
The HallucinationsSlide11
Salvia is not a drug that is found in the party sceneSalvia is typically is used for experimentation by an experienced drug user or users
Not for PartiesSlide12
Over 90% of users that do experiment with Salvia say they will never do it again. The hallucinations have typically when described as unpleasant and painful!
They begin within the first minute of you in taking Salvia and can last anywhere from 1 minute to 30 minutes! It all depends on how you use the drug.

“New Dimension” Slide16
It is a very powerful hallucinogen in regards to altering ones state of mindMost powerful natural occurring hallucinogen.
Only 200-500mcg should be smoked when using the pure compound. Very hard to measure so more is taken
Dosage ProblemSlide17
It looks like a very small amount so experienced users take more out of pride.The equipment to measure is expensive
Mazatecs have used for years, but nothing this strong or powerful. It isn't heated enough to remain a gas until it reaches the lungs.
Dosage Cont. Slide18
There has not been a lot of research performed on the drug just yetWhile it is used quite a bit it has not become a “mainstream” drug that I used widely by many people.
There is still no research on the long term side effects
StudiesSlide19
HallucinationsPain
Shaking/TremblingMimics PsychosisFear or Paranoia
Increased heart rate and Blood pressure.
Loss of appetite
Memory loss
Short term Side
EffectsSlide20
Not a lot of research has been performed regarding long term side effects. Your brain works hard to process external input in order to keep body running efficiently.
When you hallucinate you brain loses its ability to protect you, which is always dangerous.
Long Term Side effectsSlide21
Side EffectsSlide22
Is not detected by basic drug testCan only be detected through pricey lab tests
- main way to detect is through body fluids such as blood and urine. Only have a half hour to detect it!
-it has a very short half life which makes it hard to detect.
Drug TestingSlide23
In the words of an experienced drug user-
“DON’T EVER TAKE THIS DRUG. IT WAS THE WORST EXPERINCE EVER AND I HAVE STILL NOT FULL RECOVERED FROM IT.”
