Synthetics Passed off as natural Salvia divinorum herbal Extracts:
Prior to the P.S Act Amendments, which resulted in the outlawing of ALL synthetic cannabinoids & research chemicals, many unscrupulous vendors in Head Shops/Smart Shops, were blatantly selling adulterated Salvia divinorum extracts, 'boosted' with synthetic & research chemicals.
These potent, synthetics, were largely sourced from China, either in powder or liquid form.
This was a dangerous misrepresentation, with the quest for greater profit margins, leading to the 'bathing' of cheaply sourced leaf, in substances such as the banned '2CI/25I series' of synthetic psychedelics.
These manufactured, adulterated products, were then misrepresented & onsold as 10x, 20x, 30x, 50x, 60x, 100x plus salvia extracts, at prices that were ridiculously cheap.
It is NOT commercially viable to produce a natural Salvia divinorum herbal extract inexpensively, when having to grow & tend the herb, harvest it, dry, process & extract the herb, to create a legitimate herbal extract.
The profile of a synthetic is nothing like the profile of a natural plant derived, herbal based remedy, such as a Salvia divinorum herbal extract.
Often, the difference will be reflected in the 'bargain basement' price for the adulterated synthetic substance, its extreme potency, & the risk of adverse, potentially life threatening reactions to the synthetic.
So why aren't the Head shops/Smart shops selling Salvia divinorum anymore ?
It's no surprise really. After reported User deaths overseas, & life threatening adverse reactions to Synthetics in N.Z, amendments to the Law were made under urgency.
The revised P.S Act outlawed ALL Synthetics & Research Chemicals, leaving Vendors unable to peddle their synthetic substances. In the event of any lab analysis of their now illegal product, Vendors ran the risk of serious fines & jail time!
Unable to source cheaply & onsell legitimate, New Zealand grown & prepared natural Salvia divinorum based products such as Extract, at the huge profit margins they had become accustomed to, the Synthetic Vendors market collapsed.
Why were Synthetics so cheaply priced when they were legal to buy in headshops?
Synthetics were so cheap because they were manufactured in China on an industrial scale, using chemical formulas. No natural plants or plant derivatives were used in this process.
Barrels of Chemical were then imported into N.Z, & bulk, low grade herb was infused with chemical, packaged, & sold at massive profits.
As Synthetics Merchants tried to out compete each others product, Synthetics became more potent & cheaper ( & more dangerous. )
The Legal Synthetics market is now DEAD, Synthetics are no longer legally available, & those sourced illegally on the Black Market bring with them the serious risk of adulteration with life threatening contaminants, as well as Criminal liability.
Cannabis Detection Periods based on frequency of use:
If you're in employment with any kind of random testing regime, drug taking employees are playing 'Russian Roulette' with their livelihoods.
It's only a matter of time before the games up & you are subject to that defining moment when your career comes to an end, your credibility is zero & your future employment prospects are grim, all thanks to that positive test.
ACT NOW, & quit those illegal, career compromising substances using our totally natural, Salvinorin based products.
Salvinorin A, the active ingredient naturally contained in the Salvia divinorum herb is scientifically established to have an anti addiction effect, courtesy of its activity on the K.O.R - Kappa Opioid Receptor of the brain.
Whilst Salvia divinorum / Salvinorin-A was formally recognised in 2002 as being a kappa opioid activator, it was Dr Kivell and her research team at Victoria University, Wellington, that were first to show that it has an anti-addiction effect, and more recently, their testing is showing that some of these compounds have much milder side effects.
