Salvia cutting market?

I know all the Pubers may not know but I'm asking anyways. Do you think there is a reasonable market for Salvia cuttings?

Prices for established, rooted cuttings are higher right now than they've ever been. And with more states considering prohibiting salvia, it'll probably just get more expensive.
I don't know what that says about the market, though.

Yeah, I was thinking about that too.
Obviously any state that has laws against it now would be out of the question. But it's going to be at least a year or two before many more states jump on the bandwagon and outlaw it. I figure i can get a small setup going here and pump out some clones at a good price. I love growing plants and I love making a little extra money. I might do it.

Salvia's an interesting plant to grow. It's a little finicky at first, but once you have a good idea of what you're doing, you'll see rapid growth. I just put my clones under a 400w metal halide rig about two weeks ago, and I can't believe how fast they're growing.

Nice.
I see there are no longer any sponsors that sell ethnos. Any idea what's up with that? I just noticed the other day it's only spore and myco supply vendors

There was some kinda post about it in the sponsor's forum, I don't really know what it's about.
The ethnobotanical market seems like an odd one. Currently, prices for live plants of kratom and viridis are low, while live salvia and poppy pod prices are through the roof. Two years ago, it was the exact opposite. I'm not sure if it's supply that dictates these price fluctuations or demand, or maybe some other factor.
I do think that growing salvia is a good idea, whether you decide to sell cuttings or not.

I figure the only problem with the salvia cutting market is long-term. Obviously most states aren't going to be open-minded about it and will outlaw sometime in the near future.
But as a short-term investment and plan I think it's solid.

If you do decide to do this, consider also that kratom and psychotria sp. grow well in the same conditions as salvia. Why not grow all three?
