The book or the oven?

Way back in the day, I'm talking years ago, when I had a plant of my own, I tried a few different drying methods. I never really liked the idea of putting the leaves in a box and shaking every day for days on end. So, I tried 2 others. One is the book. Put the leaves in a nice big phone book and squish them flat. The upside to this is that you end up with beautiful green flat leaves that are dry in about 24 hours. The downside is if you have a lot of leaves, I imagine you could run into problems of needing many phone books. I never had many leaves to deal with.

The other method I tried was putting some leaves in the oven under low temps. I really don't remember the total specifics, but I'm going to guess around 200 degrees or maybe 150 for about an hour. It dries the leaves excellently and seems to make them way more potent. The other good thing is you could dry a lot of leaves in a relatively short amount of time. So, try drying one or 2 till you gage about how much and how long. I highly recommend it...

Driving on Salvia...

Of course a bad idea to even try, but 99 times out of 100 this is how it would go. I still wouldn't advise being anywhere near a car, just because strange things can happen on Salvia. Remind me to tell you some day.

Quiet Day...

There doesn't seem to be a lot going on in the Salvia world (as opposed to the Salvia World) today. I am considering giving this:

The Entheogenic Evolution

a listen. There is an interview with Daniel Siebert on there. Plus some other interesting looking things.

This is how....

Some of the Salvia Divinorum laws get passed I guess, I never knew about this myself.

Doctor Says Salvia Not So Bad

I like this guy. Of course, as all my loyal fans know, I am not a big believer in the social use of Salvia, but I never wanted to take that away from anyone, not anyone over the consenting age anyway.
