Where to find salvia divinorum in Baja?
It would be easy enough to bring some from the states, but it would be easier to explain to cops or soldiers if it was packaged in Spanish and had a
receipt. I did some online searches, and apparently it is not illegal in Mexico - yet anyway. I have no idea where they would sell it in Baja. Perhaps
some kind of record store that deals with techno and hardcore would have it, but I don't know where that kind of store would be. Any help would be
appreciated.

mexican women used it in the OLD days to keep their "men" home at night...

we now know the "pac man" is a "druggy"

Believe it or not I found it in 4" pots at Home Depot gardening center a year or two ago. Apparently some one was not paying attention.
Maybe one of the Baja Home Depots may have it, too.
Or find someone who's growing it and take a cutting. And remember, unlike many salvias, this one loves to be watered.
And hey, when you find it.... enjoy.

I think the salvia that grows in Baja is a different species: "It grows naturally only around Mazatec Indian settlements in Oaxaca state, where the
Mazatec use it in rituals and as a healing agent." http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/nation/20060505-0020-hall...

There is Datura, Damiana, Gypson Weed growing along the roadsides now. It is the low-growing green leafy plant with pretty white trumpet flowers.
That is an hallucinogenic, I believe, but toxic! "Dangerous" the herb id books say.
Is this the Salvia you've referred?

Nope, not the same plant. Perhaps what's growing by the side of the road, but not Salvia Divinorum.

You can get it packaged in just about any mex health food store.

Maybe you could check in the herbal/natural medicine shops. I THINK there's one next door to the bakery across from Ma. Louisa market in Maneadero.

Did anyone else see the documentary about Salvia? It reminded me of a modern day Reefer Madness. Just curious.

I didn't see the documentary. Is it available online? Probably everything they said is true except maybe for the facts that it is non-addicting,
non-toxic (except for the smoke), and nobody has overdosed on it (in the traditional use of the word). Apparently, there is one death attributed to
it, and it happened several months after the experience much like Judas Priest caused the suicide of that one kid. But anything else extremely radical
said about it is likely to be true. To be truthful, it is actually a very intense but largely unpleasant experience that appeals mainly to those who
want to find out just how far down the rabbit hole goes - for those on some type of vision quest. It's just too hard core for most. I really just
wanted to know where I could get some in Baja.
...but the shirt is definitely cool. Thanks Pam.

i meant "leaf"
a very strong but short lasting hallucinogen. i don't know if those mexican yerberias sell it, you see those shaman herb stores all over.
i did see that the good stuff is grown only in one small geo area.
if you buy it online they sell leaf and concentrated. (so i am told :saint
do not "bong" the concentrate or the guys in the white coats will be dealing with you!!!!!
again.....so i am told

Packodem:
Check out this website:
http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia.shtml
Erowid is by far the most informative site out there for research into psychoactive compounds.
Ethnobotany has always been one of my interests, I have tried a tincture of salvia and it was very interesting, smoking 15X's 20X's extracts can be
overwhelming, often with intense body distortions like being pushed through a membrane into another world! Of course our society has always had a
preocupation with concentrated active ingredients, hence our "problems" with heroin and coke. Native use has always been with the low dosage plant
product ie coca leaf, opium. Native shamans use a "quid" of salvia leaves rolled into a cigar which they chew for a long time. oral use like this
means onset is slow and managable.
I don't think this plant grows in Baja, I always thought it was a tropical plant of the interior of Mexico.
good luck!
