In search of salvia divinorum plants

[NeitherHere]

I'm looking to get my hands on some salvia divinorum plants later this year for ceremonial purposes. I found one lead but they want almost 100 intergalactic units for a single plant and I just can't justify that when I know I could probably grow several from seed for significantly cheaper.

Any guidance on how to get ahold of s means to grow my own salvia would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is it hardly produce any seeds, and even if you'd be lucky, chance are that they wouldnt bé viable or just sprouting then do the die off. So, the most current and viable method is and has been spreading through cuttings. Now the downfall is after maybe 4 decades of cloning from about 6 known sources, it has a low genetic diversity.
Also it gets banned in many places so you'll have hard time finding this niche live ethnobotanical.
I don't have heads up, and lost mine maybe 1 year ago.
Good luck, you won't find seeds, and especially cheap S.D seeds. Search a cutting, also it will be less prone to failure.
Search the ethnobotanical shops.
Good luck !

100 intergalactic units

I don't know what currency this is, but I know a guy (ain't listing any details) who trades small cuttings for 15 "intergalactic units".
Googling cuttings shows plant material that is somewhat smaller than the pictures that the guy sent me.

This isn't salvia divinorum.

This isn't salvia divinorum.

I think that is specifically mentioned in the text below the image.

Yes, I've read it again afterwards, couldn't erase my post.

Live plants and viable seeds don't fall under sourcing (it's all here: Attitude Page - DMT-Nexus Wiki )

who trades small cuttings for 15 "intergalactic units".

He said 15 "intergalactic units" for the small ones, 40 "intergalactic units" for 3 small ones.
And 25 "intergalactic units" for the larger one.

Does anybody know if these are reasonable prices? Because OP said 100 "intergalactic units" for a plant. Which sounds a bit excessive compared to the seller I found.

If it's the Empire's intergalactic unit (or the Federation's too, that one is a bit higher) then yes, I'd say 100 IUs is way too much. In the much less likely case they referred to the Red Dragon Hivemind's contender for the IU, it would be more reasonable.

If you go with a small one, and grow it up, that's the way to go. If you succède you have an adapted plant to your environment. For 15 Units, which is the price. I guess, it's up to you, I never go for a full grown plants, I'd rather start from a small one and grow it, cause they are also very easily stressed, so it will drop leaves and have hard time maybe, especially if it changes zone and conditions.
So I think you're good to go with what you found under the 40 units.
That's how I see this. And it's rewarding to see it growing and settling up to a well and healthy plants. Otherwise it will look nice on photo but might very well loose a lot of it's superb during transport and during the weeks of adaptation to it's new house.
Happy gardening !
