Its time to shed some light on the subject if all extracts are the same. The answer is NO. Depending on your source you may recieve a 20x extract that is equivilent to a 5x of another vendor, and vice versa. Many people complain that no effect is achieved when they try a 20x and quickly judge the product as "junk" without knowing the facts. The fact is depending on your vendor you never know what is included in your gram of salvia. Many vendors actually use "cutting" agents to remove salvinorin-a from raw leaf, the cutting agent is usually iso alcohol or acetone to do the job. Iso alcohol will evaporate to 99% leaving less than 1% residual on the leaf, acetone evaporates but leaves a considerable amount of residue in the raw extract. Then the raw product is cleaned with Naphtha (petroleum deriviative) to clean tars, waxes, and color from the raw extract. Naphtha does leave traces in the product and DOES cause damage to the nervous system. This in turn causes a greater "trip" becuase trace elements are also playing to your brain chemistry. This is why some extract hit you harder than others, but this is extremely bad for you. These trace chemicals will remain in your system and can cause future health problems with coordination or even critical decision making skills. Here at Kalizhada inc., we use only grain alcohol made from our home grown corn stalks as our cutting agent and our reagent is our own mineralized water/citrus-grain alcohol to complete our tinctures and dehydrated using our vacuum powered heat dehydrator to dry the leaves correctly without destroying crucial leaf surface. That's it, no chemicals are ever used to create a more potent product, our promise is to use only salvia to enhance salvia period. This shady process other vendors incorporate is one of the reasons salvia will be banned. I can't name vendors but I can tell you to research your salvia provider on how their salvia is produced, I have always been upfront on my production and have my production lab certified by State of Texas inspectors,since we do manufature other items such as skin care products and raw vitamins we have to follow strict standards of cleanliness and safety. I ask you to check you vendor and make sure your getting only salvia and not the cancer causing byproduct that is present in many kitchen made retailers. Hope this was educational. OneLove Kalizhada
Of course, the chemicals cause distortion of the receptors and damage to the synaptic centers of your brain cells. Salvia alone does not do this, on average many of the home chef salvia retailers contain about 20-50 mcgs of chemical resin, bad stuff. Oh you may feel a hell of a buzz, but cancer is just knocking on the door. Like many new salvia retailers on ebay make me laugh becuase they don't know anything about salvia and try to pass themselves off as experts. Just ask them critical questions and they won't respond. In fact many of their salvia facts are from questions they asked me and posted it verbatim on their sites. Hil (frickin) arious, just trust a knowledgable source on the matter. OneLove
what receptors do they distort? and why cant you name names? go ahead i say, freedom of speech right?
Unfortunately, we live in a country where you can get sued for saying excuse me. For that reason alone I can't name names. But these vendors know who they are and they really hate me and my company. Funny thing is I sell a better product, for less and in greater quantity for my customers. But alot of people still don't believe and so they go and buy toxic crap from garage chefs. pity....... 1LUV
