Parsley, SAGE, Rosemary and Thime
February 3rd 2008 02:40
Authorities in Alaska are trying to ban sage. This species of sage is a powerful hallucinogenic. It is called salvia, and we need to look at the effects of the drug.
I thought it was funny when a couple of trippers claimed that... the drug made her and her boyfriend "melt to the wall,"...
Then you look at the effects of the drugs and lo and behold, it's in there! Becoming inanimate objects (a wall, stairs, a couch, etc.) , comes close. The other weird effects make one wonder if it is worth trying at all.
Stick with sage the spice and avoid sage the drug!

The species of sage that is extremely hallucinogenic is Salvia divinorum. That species of sage has been extremely popular in the pagan/wiccan community for a number of years. It is typically smoked before going on a shamanic journey to visit the astral plane.
This species of sage is also called diviner's sage referring to it's main use as a divinatory herb. Shaman's enter an altered state of conciousness to divine, or fortell, what is going to happen in the future.
Too bad the general public is now using it to get high as a kite.
Just saying Salvia is rather generic. You could also be referring to many species of ornamental sage that are grown as a landscaping plant and can't be eaten like common sage (Salvia officinalis).
Sorry to be such a stickler for details but one of my blogs is I Love Herbs and another one is The Pagan Path. Okay, I'll admit it, I'm just a garden and plant geek!
Take care,
