Stress, yes! Stress!!

Of course! Sooner or later this hard work had to take its toll.

I'm the fool for thinking that selling salvia divinorum 2k miles away from the boss would be the best job on earth.

My boss manages to give me more and more tasks every week, I don't know how he does this, sometimes I think he doesn't sleep thinking: "What would be the next work form Manuel? The harder the better (I meant the work, of course)"

But I'm up to the challenge, I'm a Mexican anyway, born to work everyday for low pay.

I'm not complaining, the problem is that I've been feeling weak from a week ago, I wasn't in my 100%, and I'm not good for anybody being like this.

So I went to buy some vitamins, but not just any vitamins, I was looking for 2 special ingredients: Ginko Biloba and Ginseng. I'm taking one per day with my breakfast, I've never tried vitamins before, just Omega 3 which wasn't much of a difference, but these ones are working excellent, just exactly what I needed.

I'm not a fan of medication on any form, but I don't want to waste my bosses time and money with me being lazy.

That's the main reason I've lost some days to post in here, but, with this new me, I'll catch up my friends, I know you all missed me, I missed you too.

Yes! I'm the new me! Comments please!

Learn and advance.

One of the things I like a lot beside selling salvia is to learn. Not just because it's inherent to human beings, but also because it comes natural to me.

But I just don't stay there, only applying what I've learned, but starting to improve all those techinques and systems I've learned.

What I mean with this, is now that I've had enough time to learn about SEO, my brain is starting to get the whole idea. With this advantage, my goals must change, from learning the basics, to apply and improve what I know, even innovating some established ideas related to SEO.

The next step after learning from zero to a degree of discerning between good and bad decisions, is to know what is useless, a waste of time, to focus in what really matters. I think I have the tools and the knowledge to start doing some effective and worth-doing links for our site.

I can tell you that this is gonna be a slower process, but a more effective one too. Just like when you separate the good grains from the debris. Slow but focused only on what matters.

I'm not saying I'm smart, I think this is something anybody can do on any subject, with the right amount of time and info, which is something I have to thank my boss, he's very pacient.

Don't hesitate to leave a comment. I'll be waiting.

Sales & Salvia.

One thing that I've learned systematically is that you must not try to sell a product you don't believe in.

I was never good at selling, but I always thought it was because I didn't like the product in question. Of course, I was never sure about this asumption, because I never found a product I liked.

Now that I'm selling salvia extracts, and after all this time reading about it, I really believe in it, even though the misunderstanding most of the people have about this herb.

After all the info I've got about Salvia, knowing all the opposition it gets from lawmakers, and their reasons to turn it into something illegal, I get to the conclusion that this is all about lack of knowledge on this subject.

The main reason they give to ban salvia is that it's been used by teenagers that we all can watch at youtube.

But in the end, this is just a matter of responsibilities.

Why they don't ban alcohol also? Because they already have penetrated all our society, economically and culturally, though alcoholic beverages is causing more deaths per day, directly and indirectly, than Salvia in its whole existence. 

What does responsibility fits in all of this?

Under the premises given above, there are only 2 ways of considering salvia's legality:

1.- Instead of ban it, regulate it, just like they do with alcohol. Why don't they do this? 

The main reason for this, it's because parents are leaving their responsibilities to others more and more. This reflects on their desire of banning a herb, instead of regulating it and take care of their teenager sons.

2.- I agree that they ban salvia, only if they also ban some products like alcoholic beverages, because those products kill more people than any legal drug in the present day.

Doesn't matter what output salvia gets on this, but every parent needs to get the responsibility of their son's actions. Don't think that just because there's a "M", "Explicit language", "Drink responsibly" or any of those warnings in some products labels, the job is done for you! 

Meanwhile, buy salvia if it's still legal in your country or state, Black Hat Botanicals is the best.

What can I say!, Salvia Divinorum is Mexican, just like me. 

Salvia Divinorum history.

One of the first investigations about Salvia Divinorum were done in the year of 1962 by Albert Hofmann, he was one of the discoverers of the efects of LSD, and Gordon Wasson, an expert on ethnomycology. They conducted an expedition to the rural areas of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Salvia Divinorum is a specimen of the Mint family used by Mazatec shamans to foretell the future and some healings. It's name means "Sage of the Diviners" or " the Divine Sage. The Mazatec know it as Maria Pastora (Virgin Shepherdess)

The active ingredient that provides all the hallucinogen properties to this herb is called Salvinorin A, composed of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. To feel the effects it's only needed 300 micrograms (300 millionts of a gram) Even so, this plant must not be compared to any drug natural or artificial.

It's effects can be felt right after inhaled. Lasting in maximum around ten minutes and going down after 30 mins.

There are several kinds of experiences you can have from salvia extracts, metaporhosing, seeing geometrical figures, recalling things of the past, out-of-body experiences, etc. The similarity on all those hallucinations is, according to users, mind-blowing as nothing else.

If you have any comment, thanks.

The storm has just started again.

Well, guys, I warned you about this, my boss is back on track.

I knew this deceiving calm wouldn't last for long. My boss came up with another idea to make me work a little more.


I have to paste some articles in many different websites, all in one day, of course, without neglecting my other duties. Which I almost do, because I didn't post on this blog in the last 2 days.

Going back to my new duty, I have put the words Salvia Divinorum in those articles. Believe me, it's harder than it sounds. I have to admit I made a mistake on my procedures last night, but I learned and I won't do it again.

Now I have to go back to my new job. As we say, stop justifying and start rectifying.

Any comments welcomed.

Economic crisis in Mexico.

It's been said that economic crisis is global, so I'm gonna depict my very personal point of view about the economic situation that surrounds me.

It's not a secret that Mexico, as many other countries in the world, depends in great part on the United States economics.

From this scenario, Mexico separate from other countries in two main branches: Tourism and the dollar supply from Mexicans working in the US. In fact, after our oil, dollar supply from America is our main GDP (Gross Domestic Product). And most of our tourists are from the US.

Our President, included the Economic Secretary have been said that we'll not take the direct hit of the global crisis, that our inflation rate is one of the lowest in Latin America, and there's nothing to worry about.

But the press replies that that's an optimistic way of seeing things, but not based in facts. This is something I'm not informed enough to tell you whose right or wrong.

Locally, I've seen that self-employed, specially construction-related ones (from contractors to temporary laborers) have already felt the lack of work opportunities. On the other hand, Sinaloa and particularly Culiacan, have strong economic basis, specially because it's an agricultural state, and produce is the basic for any country.

After meditating a little about our expectations as a nation, I sense that our future depends in great part on the events that about to happen in our neighbor country at the North. I really think that the worst part hasn't arrived yet, not to Mexico. I think there's a natural delay on our country's reaction to the imbalance at the North, so, if America continues in it's downhill, sooner or later we'll see and feel the real impact on our own side of the border.

But even if our country enters a recession, Sinaloa won't be one of the severe affected. This is a strong State, specially because we have a history dealing with problems of a different kind and being successful about it.

I encourage to any of my readers to come and spend your vacations in Mexico. If you're looking for fun and relaxation, we have them of any kind.

Take care of your money, save some to buy salvia!
