Could Salvia Help Me??

I have a question for all the vets. I am at least 3 months away from harvest. I have not started my growing yet. I am hoping to starting it up this weekend or the first of next week. So here is my question. Could Salvia help me? One of my friend back home suggested it. I am still dry and even though the GI doc gave me a script for something it does not help with the general simptoms of my Crohn's. It just knocks me on my butt for about 6 hours. I googled Salvia and I got more confused. Some sites said it was great others compaired it to triping on acid. Not that I have a problem with that. I truly believe to each his own but I do not want a trip, I want relief. My first thought was if it is legal then it must be bunk. So any thoughts on that or "legal bud" ?

A Salvia high consists of 10 to 15 minutes of an almost dream like state. People have visions on this stuff. I've seen people lose all there motor skills and fall on there face to just melting into the couch. But the high is short lived and Salvia doesn't work for everyone. As far as the medicinal benefits I'm not sure....as for Crohn's I have a friend that has this as well and she takes a product that really helps her. Glutathione

the only real way to know if its good for you is to try it.

Legal bud is supposed to be total shit, except for a few varieties. And those few varieties certainly aren't weed, but are apparently okay. That being said, I've only heard of people saying that referring to getting high, not for medicinal purposes. Unfortunately I don't remember the names of those varieties, but search "legal buds" because I'm pretty sure there are several threads about it.

All I've heard about salvia is that it's like a short, intense acid trip (only 50 min). I'm not sure how that'd help medicinally, but I also don't know much about marijuana as medicine...so maybe it's worth a try. I've also read about people who just went berserk on it and hated it...so who knows? I also recommend searching "salvia" because I've seen threads on it.

Everything I have read suggests legal bud is crap. Everyone who admits using it says its no good. Salvia is something else, it will make you trip. Not give you relief for anything.

Iv experienced this legal "drug" before on a few occasions. And every time i do it i think to my self "why the fuck did i smoke that shit"?Its in no way shape or form enjoyable. It completely dissociates your brain from normal motor function. And you cant stop fukin laughing and nothings funny. I couldnt Possibly see how salvia would help you with your GI problems. I to have some pretty nasty problems with my bowels(nothing to do with bowel movements mind you). So i would suggest trying really hard to find a new source for ur herb. And for gods sakes dont waste your money on salvia its bullshit and theres a reason its legal. Because it sucks and its nothing like acid, acid can have profoundly life chaning effects. Salvia will just give you a head ache and fuck with your head in a way that not at all enjoyable.

Now I wasn't in any pain when I partook in this stuff, so I don't know if it would function as a pain reliever/reducer. I do know that when using the extracts(as low as the 5x), I was in another world entirely. The leaves just made me laugh like I was insane for about 10 minutes. The thing with salvia, it's very quick hitting and quick leaving. If I recall, from smoke to finish, you're looking at maybe 1.5 hours to 2 hours before you are completely normal again. The "high" hits after two minutes or so and only lasts about 30 minutes. For the love of god... if you use the extracts, or lots of the leaves, be in a HAPPY place. a happy room where you are comfortable, not around lots of people. Be in a good mood. Don't do it if your pissed, depressed, sad, whatever. Happy mood, happy room. It's been a while since I've used salvia, mainly because it is so intense for me.

My buddy told me the tv was being mean to him when he used it the first time.....

Also, I noticed myself as a bit more "moody" about a day or two after using it. Hope this helps.

i would have to say thats a big no.

marijuana is the only thing that will help you. salvia is horrible and for stupid 8th graders who think theyre getting away with something because its legal.

i tripped so hard i thought i was flying through space at lightspeed. i freaked out.

bad idea. its expensive here too. in florida i mean.

Tribes also used it for an out of this world experience but I do not know if it will help you. Like posted earlier "Give it a try and find out for yourself" and keep us posted.

Laughing is usually a sign of under dosage. Smoke a bit more and you will see the real effects.

Hmm, I wouldn't ever take this shit. I've seen those videos on youtube of ppl smoking it. They get all crazy and look as if they are having a seizure - not my cup of tea! My Uncle tried it and thought he was one of those street sweepers that clean up the city streets at night - LOL!

Thanks for all the feedback.

I threw away 2 grams of the shit....I got it for the very reson you stated....my pain and until my crop came in.....and it was awful......it tastes like butt and the high is more of a seekers high than a high for someone looking to relax or enjoy themselves, or most of all relieve pain.....just my 2 cents...but it does taste REALLY bad.

dont do it,,,go on youtube and type salvia and see what it does to ppl

Fuck salvia

ya that is what I thought. I have heard too many cons, I do not think it would help me with my pain but it might get me high. Like I said before to each his own. I only asked because of a msn article calling it the next marijuana. From what I have read it is no where on the scale of Mary Jane.

If your looking for a good medicinal strain to grow for your Chron's...White Rhino from greenhouse seeds. It's one of the best strains around for medicinal patients.

Man, if your looking for an herbal fix for pain, give kratom a try. I use it all the time. I'd say about 4 grams of the non potent stuff is equal to maybe one 5 or 10 mg hydrocodone. It's legal here in the states, but not in other places like Thailand.

Take a look at wiki for some info:

Kratom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

People will swear up and down on the forums that it isn't like a pain pill - their lying!

Pm me if you want more info on where to get it or how to grow it.

still looking for info on salvia?
In my experiences, extracts are like acid (the things written like 5x which means 1 bowl of that is like 5 bowls of regular salvia leaves)

and smoking just the regular untouched salvia leaf is kinda like smoking weed....(maybe with some coke on it because it gives you an upity buzz, makes everything in your body feel light "geeked" up a bit)
