crack weed?

i heard that salvia is basically the crack of weed... is that true?

 

That's about as far from the truth as you can get.

 

That just makes no sense. Crack is a slang term for cocaine freebase, weed is a slang term for marijuana. These are two completely different classes of drugs.

Salvia is a completely different plant containing a very powerful natural hallucinogen. Smoking it produces a very STRANGE feeling that is short-lived. You can find out a lot on the net if you look around.

 

no no no, i didnt mean that the salvia WAS crack or it had crack in it... i meant like... in the weed world, its the "crack" of the weed...

fuck it, i know what im trying to say.. but i dont know how to explain it.

 

Crack isn't cocaine freebase, where'd you hear that?

Crack is cocaine cut with baking soda.

No, Salvia is COMPLETELY different from marijuana, it's an entirely different chemical. The only things they have in common is that they are both psychoactive, other than that, it's MUCH different.

 

If you think crack is cocaine cut with baking soda you live a sheltered life. (Which is probably a good thing in this case) Baking soda is used as a crude way to basify the cocaine hcl. Put the coke in with some of the baking soda and a little bit of water, cook it up, let it dry, scrape the rocks, dry em, and smoke em. This is a crude form of cocaine freebase.

 

Hikaru is exactly right.

peacelovebarefeet, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Whoever told you that it's the "crack" of weed was clearly misinformed. It is certainly not a stronger version of marijuana. It's not an alternative to marijuana to achieve the same kind of high; salvinorin-A is a VERY powerful psychedelic drug. It is a completely different plant (salvia divinorum as opposed to cannabis sativa), with a very different 'active ingredient' (salvinorin-A as opposed to delta-9-THC). There is no connection between marijuana use and salvia use. Salvia has no addictive properties whatsoever. The effects of salvia and marijuana are completely different. And so forth.

It is impossible to make any analogy between marijuana and salvia as one can with crack cocaine and powder cocaine.

 

im so glad i saw this. cause you know TOO MUCH about salvia... but appearantly not the basics of anything else.
2c's is right, the baking soda frees the base ring of the molecule or something (hence 'freebase') which makes it nonpolar or something (not water soluable) i think its fat soluable... but you smoke it is the main point and its insane in the MEMBRAIN YO! only for a min though...

i could see where a joke like that is made but in truth tinture is the closest thing i could call the "crack" of weed and even that makes me giggle... salvia extract might be able to be called "the crack" of salvia, but even that would be wrong....

i dont know too much about that type o chemistry shit but i doubt delta 9, Tetrahydracannibinol could be made into a freebase, if im even wording this right... HAHAHAHA

this thread is AWSOME

 

hahahaha.... this thread IS awesome!

what IS salvia?? i really know nothing about it, other than two of my friends smoked it, and said it was like smoking the shittiest weed ever... i dont even know if they even got any visuals!

 

salvia is not a freebase or a crack, it is a leafy plant related to mint or sage.

salvinorin is an extract which can be considered in an obscure way as a chemically processed derivative as crack is derived from cocaine, but salvinorin is a fractional component of salvia leaf which can be extracted, and impurities removed -

and the unrelated crack is cocaine with the HCL chelate knocked off by using either baking soda or other ways of freeing the base.

both hit fast but do completely different things - completely different

 

finally! someone who "got" what i was trying to say!

thanks!

 

I think he was thinking that he was thinking of free-basing Cocaine. Crap, now I'm confused...
