On occasion we've been known to write that a particular product will "blow your mind," but Purple Sticky Salvia accomplishes this feat quite literally. The herb Salvia Divinorum-a member of the Sage family-contains Salvinorin-A, one of the most powerful hallucinogens in the world, and though the packaging clearly indicates that the product is intended for incense use only and not for human consumption, that's like plastering "For Novelty Use Only" on a dildo. That said, salvia is legal in most states (as of September 2007, the company would not ship to Delaware, Louisiana, Missouri, or Oklahoma), but lawmakers seem to be getting hep to its growing popularity, so consult your state laws prior to stocking it.

Purple Sticky's website offers many informative links regarding the product (and the many variations they offer), and we highly suggest you thoroughly educate yourself about it before ordering. We also advise that should you stock any salvia products, be aware that its effects if consumed (we smoked it) are extremely potent, and unlike most packaged "XTC" herbals that promise a mind-altering experience but deliver little more than a caffeine jolt, salvia is serious fucking business and will induce an altered state of consciousness to be reckoned with-even for seasons psychonauts.

After all, Indian shamans have relied on it for centuries to commune with God, so it's beest used intelligently by responsible individuals and not embraced with a "Whoohoo! Let's Party!" mentality. Though we neither advocate nor eschew the use of salvia, we can tell you that the Purple Sticky we sampled was exceptionally effective. Accordingly, we cannot stress enough the importance of educating your customers about the potent effects of this product before they buy it and proceed to ignore the disclaimer. So endeth the lesson.
