TV Show Looking for Salvia users with Videos

Hello,

I am a producer for a nationally syndicated morning TV show and we are putting together a story about Salvia for taping on Monday, March 24th in NYC. We're looking primarily for someone who has used Salvia and is interested in coming on our show to speak about his/her experience. We have seen many youtube videos of people tripping on Salvia, and are very interested in the subject. If you or anyone you know fits this description and/or has a video of themself tripping, I would appreciate your speedy response (as the segment is scheduled for this upcoming Monday). We would, of course, provide transportation and hotel costs for your trip to NY from within the USA.

Thank you so much for your time.
If you would like to speak further, please feel free to contact me at 212-301-5312 or email me at morningshowmatt@hotmail.com

All I ask is to make this a fair and open interview, use someone who is knowledgeable in Salvia Divinorum and don't take information out of context in order to condemn this sacred plant.

This will turn into a "Dangers of Salvia" show no doubt, I say people steer clear of this.

 

noway it could be anything else.

 

Don't worry travelers your shaman Kalizhada is going to be on the show! I won't let them pull any low blows and I'll bring the straight facts on salvia to the nation-wide audience. Are you guys gonna sit on your ass hoping someone will step up or are you going to join the fight? I will be flying in to New York on Sunday night so I hope some of you will come out and help the cause.

You should indeed not go onto the show. There are few places where salvia is still legal, and let's not let everyone know what it is so that it can be totally outlawed...no matter how the interview goes they're going to warp it into something bad about salvia

 

ya think this show will show the truth? ya think your credentials as a shaman
wont be questioned?
dont u realize all they want is a tripping idiot to trip on camera to show just how dumb u look when tripping
"?
just wait n see the truth they show..
theyre not gonna turn u into some sort of modern day psychodelic messiha or gurro
theyre gonna show ya to be a drug addicted fool

have fun, your helping them make salvia illegal...
and are foolish enough to think your deffending it..

 

Well it seems that support is hard to come by no wonder the conservatives win, they stick together. Unlike the image you posted soaringeagle I am a biology professional with a degree from St. Mary's University and currently a pharma science graduate student. I rank in the top 15% in my class and I am pretty clean cut. So trying to paint me as a drug addicted fool is going to be a bit hard. I have been assured by the producer that this will not be a one sided witch hunt but an open forum of debate. They will have some kids who had made videos on youtube which will hear my scorn and a member of politcal office to debate me which is a real treat since I have done this before in Austin to keep salvia from being banned in Texas( and it worked!). I requested that I be provided a planned script to ensure I am not going to be railroaded and if it does I'll be prepared to stand up for my right to free speech. What gets me is that I'm doing this for the preservance of Salvia for everyone and I'm getting shit on for this! What support indeed.

P.S. I was given the name Kalizhada by a Shaman in Nigeria because it is my goal to help individuals heal thier spiritual selves and help other achieve enlightenment to break free from the chains of conformity. I have been doing this for years and have been to 9 countires including Africa, Australia, South America, Mexico, Thailand and others to learn of ethnobotanicals and natural healing and spiritual wellness. I was knocking on deaths door in Nigeria 2002 when I was sick with Malaria the local shaman stayed watch over me (18hours)until medics provided the necessary aid before any kidney failure set in. This type of sincere concern helped me realize that a perfect stranger could care for an unknown person and give up personal time and effort to ensure the recovery and health of another stranger. This is what helped shape Kalizhada and is the basis for what I try and do today. Not just with salvia but in every aspect of life.

Sounds like your prepared Kalizada,
I hope it does go well, and I wish you luck
Let us know how it goes and when it will air.

Peace&Love&Light

 

sounds like another way to ban salvia in the states, keep it sacred

 

no way you got on the show. i just wanna know what show it is so i can watch it. please put salvia in a good light.

 

I send you all my best wishes. It seems like you're prepared for it though!

 

The show is called "the morning show with mike and juliet" it will be filmed on monday and aired sometime in the week. Goole the show name to find details on where it will be aired. It is nation-wide and willbe watched by millions, I will pull salvia away from the negative light and bring an understanding for it. I will also get to meet family members of the kid who committed suicide and blamed salvia for the incident. So if anybody lives in new york, i'll be there on sunday night and will be at The Muse hotel and would like any local support.
One Love,
Ki

 

When you go there dont look like an asshole or a bum or a hippie, Show up like some proffessional business man with a suit and tie and then act all serious.

Thats what I would do if I owned a suit.

 

Please someone record this!!!!!! I have no chance to see the show here in Estonia... lol

 

I plan to go in a very professional manner and articulate the argument well. I will debate as if my life depended on it. I am not your typical shaman, but a new era spiritualist without all the theatrical get up. I plan this to be the first stop into bringing the gospel of salvia to those who are able to understand its value and its potential, so anyone who can offer me some online support helps me build even greater motivation. My name is Frank Ramirez aka Kalizhada, my business is salvia and I will not let this go without a fight.
Ki
Ynef, I will have this put online and have it for you.

 

i am really interested in this. Let me know when it will air, and how i can see it, because i think it sounds like a good idea.
Good luck Ki.

 

HOLD UP!!!!! i just checked their website, and it says
TUESDAY: THE NEXT DANGEROUS NEW DRUG


wtf i thought that this was gonna be an open debate and they are portraying it as dangerous from before it is even recorded

 

Don't worry I'm fully prepared to debate this, the title is nothing more than a viewer catcher, period! Watch and support your salvia shaman Kalizhada for the salvia cause!!!
Ki

 

Good luck, you've got my support. My only suggestion: act like a typical, white, ivy-league doctor. Discussing the cultural and spiritual benefits behind Salvia may help, but nothing will reach white middle class (which I'm assuming will make up most of the audience) more than one of their own. I think that discussing scientifically how it has no adverse affects, how it could have possible medicinal potential, etc. will be your best bet in reaching the general public. Maybe suggesting that it should be slightly regulated (i.e. prohibiting sale to minors, which I'm all for) would present you as a reasonable and community-conscious professional (which I assume you are anyway.)

You probably already knew all that though, just making suggestions. Good luck, hopefully you'll be able to spin the argument our way
