The Journey of Salvia: From Oaxaca to US porn shops and gas stations, de-flowering the virgin of the feild


Salvia Divinorum has had an amazing journey over the years. Discovered by Wasson ethnomycologist and journalist extrodinare, moved from the Mazatecan huts and villages to our local adult arcades and gas stations. Now you can buy a vail of 20X extract salvia and visit a glory hole all in the same visit. Or you can buy a mass marketed salvia extract and a slushy at the local gas station in the middle of rural Washington.
I remember the first time I saw Salvia being sold in an adult arcade. A freind had told me that they sold it at the local porn shop, I was so shocked by that i had to go see... Sure enough a quater ounce of salvia in a ziplock bag was being sold for 150$, the bulk price, and vials or extracts sat next to the bottles of rush and locker room, huffable nitrates used for giving ones self a horrible head ache and allowing larger things to enter ones rectum, for which it is sold in adult shops. Legal highs are a taboo in our socieity, for people who order inventory at porn shops must make that connection some how. The association must be there some where, there is really nothing aphrodisiac like with smoking a salvia extract. Of coarse there are those that would say the same thing about dirty socks... but I know that there has to be some one out there that thinks other wise. Regardless there Ska Pastora, the Divine Virgin of the field, lays... next to a blown glass dildo, and in the ural gas station it lays next to the pipettes used to sell tiny plastic roses; the real purpose of these are for smoking methapmetamine, heroin or oxycodone and being able to throw them out of your car window next to the dead raccoon you hit while driving drunk the night before.
I think Perry Ferrel made an astute observation and social commentary when he said in his song sex is violent, that nothing, is indeed shocking...
Upon seeing the Vail and packages of salvia at the local rural gas station today it struck me. Here is a mass marketed hallucinogen in America, rural america no less. For years I have been hearing folks in the entheogen community say "Well if hallucinogens where legalized in thsi country things would change ect ect... sacred this and mayan calender that. But here we have it. Salvia has reached the masses you can buy it with a can a chew, some rolling papers and issue of Juggs magazine. There is no drug dealer, no seedy smoked filled room, no back ally transactions, just you and your debit card and a relatively disinterested clerk who finds your purchase amusing.
I am trying to think back now... I beleive it was ten years ago that I first saw the ounce of ska pastora next to a glass dildo in an adult arcade, yes about ten years ago. But what has this done for us in the ten years its been legal?
Well according to You Tube there have been lots of frat boys and misanthropes treating it like gas huffing, a fun house effect with a full on black out. My favorite video is of a large meat head threatening to kick peoples asses after smoking, confused, and defintely scared his fight of flight reponse triggered and set to fight.
Lets take a look at this from an ethnobotanical stand point. What is our relationship dynamic with this plant? Its like a roller coaster ride for your head at the carnival. Now what is the relationship that the Mazatecs have with Ska Pastora? They revear it for one, and it helps them to survive, diagnosing illness finding lost children, giving life guidance and an assortment of other amazing transpersonal and paranormal phenomena, included amoung these is seeing into the future, thus the divinorum part of the name salvia divinorum.
As always we in america hope to find some sort of salvation, some sort of extrernal support that will trigger the chnage we need in our lives and in the world around us. We look at entheogens the same way, "ayahuasca will transform the world, it will save us, mama ayahuasca give me, give me, give me, damie, damie, damie." "Mushrooms will allow us to ride the Zuvya back to the gallactic center on Dec 21st 2012." "LSD was the great catylist of the 60's revolution it brought us the world wide web and recycling". perhaps it is hardwired into how we relate culturally. The product of being sold the idea we need some thing that we don't have back in the dark ages, I am not really sure. But is obvious to me when I look at the Virgin of the field being sold next to a bottle of locker room, that we are wrong to assume that the catylist of our collective transformation is to be found outside of ourselves.
When we look at the real difference between the fella buying sally D at the adult arcade and the Mazatecan curandero, the relationship. The relationship is different. In other words how we relate is different then how they relate, just to make that clear because often times people think of a relationship as somthing seperate from how they relate. These are the people generally that do not know that how they relate is whats causing how some one else or somthing else is relating to them in turn... I know its amazing. But there it is...
What if we took responsability for the change we wished to see in our selves and in the world? What if we did this and worked with these plants and chemicals to help promote that? What would that relationship begin to look like? Would we see ska pastora being sold next to bottles anal ease? Would the dynamic change? Would we see here as the divinie virgin of the fields once again or would we still see her as the dirty little taboo we are breaking in our dorm room?
Lets see what happens if we do shall we?
