Salvia plants

At present (Sept. 29, 2000), neither Salvia divinorum nor its active principal, salvinorin A, are controlled substances anywhere in the world. It is completely legal to grow, buy, and sell Salvia plants or leaves.

I have been growing two salvia plants for a few weeks now. [Props out to my righteous benefactor, who will remain nameless for reasons of National Security.] I could have tried some leaves before this, but I felt that I needed to earn the experience by cultivating and caring for the plant myself. Last week I tried a single leaf, to introduce myself. It was just a threshold dose, but I sensed the power that lay in these leaves. This time I had primed the pump with another, less exotic green ally before raising the bowl of salvia to my lips. 

Upon returning from this Salvinorin journey I felt a very strong connection with the Salvia plant. I desired to have a similarly strong connection with N.N. DMT and decided to smoke some at that time. I had one of the most cosmic DMT experiences of my life. In this vividly recalled journey I passed through several clearly defined dimensional boundaries into what was, for me, previously unexplored territory. 

By the aid of the processes described Tunmann claims to have discovered the resinogenous layer in all the plants examined by him. In the course of his investigations he was able to determine various typical forms of the layer. These he divides into three principal types the rod-type (Viola Fraxinus, Alnus), the vacuola-type (Salvia.Hyssopus), and the mesh or grille-type (Rhododendron, Azalea). 

Essential oils are known to have detrimental effects on plants. The inhibitory components have not been identified, but both alde-hydic (benzol-, citrol-, cinnamal-aldehyde) and phenolic (thymol, carvacol, apiol, safrol) constituents are suspected. Muller et al. (104) demonstrated that volatile toxic materials localized in the leaves of Salvia leucophylla, Salvia apiana, and Arthemisia californica inhibited the root growth of cucumber and oat seedlings. They speculated that in the field, toxic substances from the leaves of these plants might be deposited in dew droplets on adjacent annual plants. In a subsequent paper, Muller and Muller (105) reported that the leaves of S. leucophylla contained several volatile terpenes, and growth inhibition was attributed to camphor and cineole. 

Chlorinated taxodione 8 was also found along with taxodione 1 from the stem of Rosemarinus officinalis, although its biological activity is yet to be studied (Scheme 8.2).21 Maytenoquinone 9, a structural isomer of taxodione 1, has been isolated from the roots of several medicinal plants such as Maytenus dispermus,22 Salvia melissodora,23 and Harpagophytum procumbems (devil s claw)24 used in folklore medicine. 

Reports on volatile toxins originate primarily from studies on plants found in more arid regions of the world. Among the genera shown to release volatiles are Artemisia, Eucalyptus, and Salvia (4). When identified, the compounds were found to be mainly mono- and sesquiterpenes. Work of Muller and associates (13) has indicated that vapors of these compounds may be absorbed by surrounding plants, and that the chemicals can be absorbed from condensate in dew, or by plant roots after the compounds reach the soil. ... 

Cover design The ET cover was installed in 1999 and consists of a 3-ft silty sand/clayey sand layer, which overlies a 2-ft foundation layer. The cover soil was placed in 18-in. lifts and compacted to 95% with a permeability of <3 x 10 5 cm/s. Native vegetation was planted, including artemesia, salvia, lupines, sugar bush, poppy, and grasses. 

Most of the plants, collected from Lamiaceae family, are aromatic and grown in Aegean-Mediterranean regions (West-South Anatolia). These are Salvia, Sideritis, Thymus, Origanum, Satureja, Stachys, Micromeria, Nepeta etc. 

Among Lamiaceae family plants, except 4/wg postii, none of the species gave hit in the yeast based assay. However, a few Salvia species (S. triloba, S. blepharo-chlaena, S. syriaca), and a few Sideritis species (S. aytachii, S. lycia) showed high inhibition against at least one or two tested yeasts among the three yeasts nsed in DNA damaging microtiter assay (Table 6.1). 

Salvia frigida Boiss. is a perennial plant, growing to height of 10-30 (-50) cm with pink flowers. Salvia frigida Boiss. was collected in June 2005 from Keltepe-Kocaeli-Turkey. A voucher specimen is deposited in the Herbarium of the Biology Department, University of Marmara. 

Cryptotanshinone (Fig. 4), a diterpene quinone, is produced in root tissues of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge plants. Of remarkable anti-inflammatory effect, a maximal yield of 4.6 0.1 mg of cryptotanshinone/g dw was detected in a 60-day-old callus of S. miltiorrhiza cultured in 0.2-mg/L N -benzyladenine-supplemented Murashige and Skoog medium. ...
