I am doing this blog, so that anyone who wants to try a new herbal blend, can hopefully find it on my blog, and read a little about it first. The reason for the recent legislation on herbal incense and spice, is because people have no idea what to expect from some of the stronger blends. I would like to help make that fear less scary. I consider myself a pioneer of herbal exploration. Yes others have come before me, but what is right for one person is not always right for another person. My blogs are unbiased, if I don't like something that I have tried I will post an accurate portrayal as to why I didn't like it. I hope you enjoy my blog, and if you feel I need to add something, or if you have any questions feel free to either email me at strummer_90@yahoo.com, or just leave a me a comment. Alright folks keep blazing and thanks for reading. :-)

Effects of Herbs Questioner

HERBAL SMOKE SIDE EFFECTS

I have created a short questioner that anyone can take and either post in comments about the herb that they smoked or email it to me. I will be filling out this questioner every time I smoke an herb that I am publishing on here. My smoker buddies will also do this so that I can see what herbs get us high, so you don't have to waste your time trying useless stuff.

What method are you using to smoke this herb?

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst, how bad did it burn when you took the initial hit?

How many hits did it take for you to start feeling any effects?

In two to three words describe how the herb is making you feel

Are you feeling horny at all?

Do you have the Munchies?

Do you like this herb?

Would you smoke it again?

Would you suggest this herb to anyone to try?

Salvia Divinorum (or so I thought This is actually Salvia O)

I first purchased an ounce of Salvia at a head shop in a town about 56 miles away from where I live. Why so far you ask, well its the closest place with a head shop. Now I had only ever heard rumors about salvia when I made my purchase, I had no idea what it was going to do nor had I any clue what it even was. So being a smart blazer I googled it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_divinorum, I have to say Wikipedia is becoming my new best friend. In general what I learned about Salvia is:
1. you can smoke it (the head shop sold it as incense)
2. It is called the diviners herb, meaning it will make you hallucinate
3. Salvia is a genus name for Sage, so not any Salvia will do, make sure when you purchase Salvia it clearly states Salvia Divinorum on the packaging, otherwise you could be purchasing Sagebrush.
Now I had to work that day so being a smart blazer I put the salvia up till I got off work. While at work I decided to look up on youtube, effects of Salvia, Here are some of my favorite videos:
As you can see from this video Salvia is not for the faint of heart, make sure you film your first time of Salvia Divinorum, and always post it on youtube if its funny.
Now so far in all the videos i have watched I have noticed everyone is hitting Salvia from a bong, this makes me wonder if this is the best way to hit it, I note to myself that I need to make a bong because I am not driving 56 miles to buy one that night. I have also noticed that all of the videos I have watched so far Salvia is not a good trip, so this explains why Salvia is not as popular as marijuana.
The last video is kinda long, but it was super funny in the end. So as of now I am really excited to try Salvia for the first time. Most people would watch the above videos and think dude I'm not trying this shit no fuckin way, but I just spent some of my hard earned money on it so I will try it at least once.
As soon as I got home I called Duece over, so I wouldn't have to trip alone, nothing is worse than trippin alone. I also purchased my first herb grinder, because the Salvia I bought was in dried leaf form
After grinding it into a chunky powder, I loaded the bowl of my favorite purple pipe, took a deep breath exhaled all the way and took my first hit of Salvia...It tasted Horrible! Like smoking something a horse shit out, it didn't make me cough, hell it didn't even make Blake cough, after smoking the whole bowl which for my pipe is about 4-5 hits a peice, neither of us felt anything to what the people in the videos were feeling. There was a head change, but that was about it, I thought hmmm...maybe we weren't hitting it hard enough, so I created our redneck bong.
our franken-bong was created with my purple pipe, duct Tape (because duct tape fixes anything) and a Coke bottle. Now this is when I found out my pipe does not do water, so we had to keep a towel under it so as to keep it from getting everything wet. After a bowl from the franken-bong, we were able to eliminate the bad taste, but still not high like the people in the videos, all I got was a headache. So we gave up on trying to get high off of the Salvia I bought. I made one major mistake when I purchased it...I did not fully read the label. What I had purchased was just Salvia, which could be any number of plants. My Salvia looked nothing like the above picture of salvia leaves, mine looked more like the crap you pull out of a rain gutter. So as soon as I get paid again I will go online and find some real Salvia Divinorum, and I will actually have a real bong. Sadly Franken-bong was dismembered to release my pipe, so I could smoke something else. I will repost as soon as the Salvia divinorum gets here in the mail. Till then keep blazin, and send me some funny videos of you or your friends smoking Salvia Divinorum for the first time.
