buying salvia

[socali]

This question applies to anyone who lives in New York City or is familar with New York city smoke shops.  Can anyone tell me the name/address of a smoke shop in Manhattan that sells salvia?  If anyone is aware of a place, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd tell me.  Thanks.

I read that New York City instituted a fine for selling Salvia divinorum at one point. I thought I read it on Erowid but now I can't find it anymore.

No offense, but buying salvia from a smoke shop is just asking to be ripped off... Headshops charge roughly 3x for the same dosage (at a usually lower quality level!) that you could get online...

Not only that, but head shops are known for leaving their SD out in the open where UV light has a chance to destroy the salvinorin A in it.

Yes: Exactly so.

I met that myself! I had to tell several head shop owners to store it in the dark!

This is WHY Purple Sticky Salvia brand packs their product in a UV Light proof package: it gives their product an almost infinite shelf life regardless of how it is displayed or stored. Smart Folks!

If you see it in a clear package hanging in the sunlight: DON'T Buy It!
