Firs time I come early!

Hello dear readers. Yes, I work on Sundays also. My boss is quite bossy.

I rest on Saturdays, but is not what you would call "resting" is more like a day to do with personal stuff that I can't do while working on weekdays.

So I disable my clock alarm on Friday night so I can sleep a little bit more on Saturday Morning. My problem is that sometimes I forget to set it up on Saturday night to wake up on time on Sundays. And this just happened today.

I woke up exactly at the time I was supposed to be working, and I had to do everything in fast forward motion, I didn't have a breakfast, didn't shower, etc. But I got here about half an hour late anyway.

Then when I turned on my laptop I saw my google calendar with big red letters that "Daylight time savings ends today"

So in fact I got here half an hour earlier!! I wanted to go back and sleep a little more but nah! I'm sure my boss is rubbing his hands with this free work-time I'm doing.

Ok I have to go now, I need to put some salvia on vials.

Have a great day.

Live Salvia Plants

This is one of our new products, Live Salvia plants, you can use the leaves to grow your stash, for shamanic purposes, to make some extract, or just as an ornament.

We'll be posting tips on how to grow salvia plants in this blog and at our forum.

Here's an introduction to our new product.

"So, you've tried Salvia Divinorum leaf, perhaps even experimented with our Salvia Divinorum Extract, but have you actually held a live Salvia Divinorum plant in your hands, nurtured it with tender care, and snipped just what was needed for the freshest experience available short of a trip down to Mexico? For the true Salvia connoisseur we are proud to offer large, live Salvia Divinorum plants that have are fully grown and well branched.

These are not the fragile, sickly young seedlings sold elsewhere. These hardy, well rooted plants have never known a basement dungeon, nor faced the frigid chills of winter's wrath. A lot of time, effort, and love has gone into raising these beauties, and it shows. Reared in a sunlit greenhouse, with plenty of water and gardening expertise."

More products are on their way. Please comment.

New product: Argyreia nervosa

Black Hat Botanicals is not just Salvia extracts, we just added new herbal products to our website, this is one of them:

A cousin of Rivea corymbosa and Morning Glory, Argyreia nervosa, commonly known as Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds (HBWS), is quite well dispersed around the globe. Used in traditional medicines from India to Ghana, Australia, Madagascar and Hawaii, HBWS have recently been growing in popularity.

We've been able to obtain two high quality supplies of HBWS - one Indian, the other Hawaiian. Lovers of HBWS will tell you that the Hawaiian variety is more prized. Still our Indian strain is well respected and provides a lower cost alternative to those less picky in such matters. Whichever strain you choose, you'll be thanking us later.

Good time to buy salvia.

These weeks have been tough for our site and some of our wholesale customers.

The sales are low, not enough to be scared but low enough.

I think it's because all our customers rather go to the beach than buy salvia to get the best of the raylights of these great summer.

I don't blame them, I also go out on my free day to get some skin burned, and to check out some ladies skin in the process.

But I bet you didn't know about our last offer. It was a limited time offer through our newsletter to all of the people who's bought from us and their friends who were forwarded to. It had a great response, but not as great as it could've been.

I strongly recommend you to check your e-mail for more of our great offers granted on our newsletter.

You should also stay in touch with this blog, who knows, maybe we could announce a promo when least expected.

For now that's all, please comment.

Hasta luego!

Identity theft!!

I knew about this since a long time ago, but I've never thought that it could happen to me.

In my travels to America for business, specially to buy salvia, I knew that most of illegals immigrants use fake or stolen SSN to be able to work there.

But I got a big surprise when I went to the DMV to renew my driver license. This was not the first time I've renewed my DL, so, I was very confident on getting it without hassles.

Unfortunately, this was not the case, when I got to the DMV desk, after waiting in line for about 2 hours, they told me that my DL was suspended because of DUI, that I needed the SR_22 to prove that my record was clean. And I thought: "wait a minute, I have never driven DUI, much less caught"

So, being this the first time it happened I didn't know what was next, so I asked the teller what to do if that guy wasn't me, and he would probably used my DL number to get away from being in jail.

She gave me a court case number and the Court's phone number to ask for info about the case. I called the next day, and they said that I must be in person at the court before 9:00 AM.

That sounds easy, but if you're in Tijuana, and the Court is in Santa Ana, CA, that's another story. I had to wake up at 4:00 AM 1 hour to take a bath and put my clothes on, another one to get to the border, 2 hours to get to Santa Ana, and half an hour to get to the court, that gives me to 8:30.

They attended me very well, but there was too many people before me waiting for their cases to be solved by the Judge. So I finished the Court case around midday, but I ended up very glad about the American justice system. It turned out that the guy that used my name was one former roommate.

Finally, they gave me a paper where they release me of all responsibility on the case, I went to the DMV office right after, but they said that I must wait a couple of days to apply for a DL renewal, because the Court's data wasn't received already.

Anyway, I feel relieved that all this nuisance is over, and I will take more care about my personal data in the future.

Wish you a great weekend and sorry I wasn't here sooner, I've been traveling a lot, so much, that my boss is jealous.

Paved!

I've been living at the same house about 25 years and our city government had paved almost all the streets around our house, but never the one where ours is.

To give you an idea of how things are done around here, they ask the people living in the street they plan to pave for the half of the cost to get the job done, but if one of us can't or don't want to pay, they won't do anything at all.

This was our case for several years, even one time, several years ago, they asked for money, we gave our part, but it was a fraud. Yes, we never saw that money again, and to think about report them to the police, hey, it's Mexico I'm talking about!

Well, now we manage to gather the money for our government to work, and they took away around 3 feet of our street, that means that we don't have a street right now, we have a hole of the size of our street, we hope they finish in some months, but we're in Mexico, and we know that we'd lucky if they finish before storm season.

Well, now that you know a little more about my beloved country (what if I hated it? right?) I'm gonna keep working on bringing you the best Salvia Divinorum Extracts in the world.

Have a great week!

PD Please don't be as procrastinator as I'm

Ten days! Wow! I'm impressed also! When I started this blog I didn't think it would turn difficult to find time and/or stories to keep the blog running, but this has been the case, and I admit it.

I guess that flu H1N1 is in control in Mexico, I don't mean that it won't be more infected people, or even dead ones because of the virus. I just mean that we're now aware of its symptoms and its deadliness. WHO has congratulated Mexican government and citizens for their civic and mature response to this new virus, that handled carelessly would've got millions of lives throughout the world.

Nevertheless we paid our toll, we're facing one of the greatest economic crisis of our history.

I personally ask to my readers to come to visit Mexico, we depend in great part on tourism, and you can take advantage of our low prices for tourists and our beautiful touristic places.

At least visit BHB and get some Salvia Extracts, you'd be helping in some degree to Mexico, Salvia Divinorum's mother land.

Rivea seeds

Rivea Corymbosa, or Rivea seeds, are originary of Mexico, but spread all over central America and a little more to the South, reaching Peru, and to the East by Cuba.

The original use for these seeds are made by shamans in order to gain knowledge in curing practices and ritual, as well as the causes for the illness.

Known in Mexico as Ololiúqui, the seeds contain ergine (LSA), an ergoline alkaloid similar in structure to LSD.

Its use is not as wide as Salvia, but among shamans, Rivea seeds are used very often, even more than Maria Pastora.

You can buy salvia or rivea seeds at Black Hat Botanicals.

I'll be back soon.

There are different taste of music when under Salvia effects, sometimes heavy metal, or rock, or just relaxing music.

Unfortunately for those looking for the healing and divinatory effects that makes this plant so famous for, shamans don't use music in their sessions because they say that any kind of noise would make salvia effects disappear or weaker.

As well as sound, shamans say that light cause the same opposition to salvia's effects as music, this is why shamans environment while using salvia is always a completely dark and quiet place to talk to spirits or heal their patients.

But if you have a favorite to listen to while in a Salvia trip, let me know which one is, though I rather like to emulate old shamans techniques.

Please keep in touch, I'll have more news soon.

Swine flu in Mexico.

You might be wondering why Mexico is the only country in the world with confirmed swine flu deaths (so far).

That question has a lot of answers, one of them is obviously that our country was the first one where this virus sprang.

Then there is our culture, we don't use to go to the doctor as often as other countries, because of money or ignorance on the gravity of a given illness. Specially on this one, that it appears as a mere flu, few Mexicans go to the doctor when they have one.

Those two circumstances made of Mexico the perfect party place for this new virus. In other words, we were taken off-guard.

Mexican government have been taken the right decisions so far, and population is observing the recommended safety rules for this case.

At first, I thought that the measures taken by our government were too magnified for this issue. But now that I know more about the history of previous pandemies (google SARS) I think that world governments are doing the right thing. You can never over-react when taking care of your health.

Although Salvia Divinorum is Mexican, don't worry, they are double-filtered to give you the best and safest extract on the market.

Buy salvia! (swine flu-free).

You can comment anything you.. yo.. achoooo!! Sorry! ;)

What your governments don't want you to know.

I'd like to know how much you've heard about global warming and those kind of stuff, because I've been seeing some signals that I would like to share with you.

I'm sure you knew about the "Earth day", where several countries unplugged the electricity of their monuments for one hour as a sign of empathy with our mother earth.

I don't know about your countries, but here in Mexico have several water cuts per week, I think that's systematically, but they manage to come out with a different excuse each time for the people not to tell. As an example, in Mexico City, the most populated in the world, they left a quarter of the city without water around 4 days.

They said that they were giving maintenance to the main pipes of the Cutzamala water system. That would've been ok for everyone, but after they did this "maintenance" they keep doing water supply cuts to that same part of the city, now arguing that "it hasn't rained enough".

To end this story, now they're asking, almost pushing government offices employees to save energy, to shut off any device they're not using, without an explanation.

I know this could be just me, but I don't buy those electricity and water cuts lightly. Something is going on that we're not worth to tell. In my opinion the water is running out, the electricity is running out, the world power supply is going down. They know about this, and they don't want regular people to know.

They just want to keep the power as long as they can, no matter who may suffer because of this.

If I scared you just get some Kratom extract or some Salvia to ease the inevitable truth.

PD: For ADN, I'm just an employee, I'll ask my boss about your suggestion and you'll know his decision if you pass by and check. Sagewisdom is a great source of info, I agree.

Salvia Divinorum, prophet in its own land.

It's funny that sometimes we need an outsider to realize what we have, or the potential we can reach.

This is what's happening with salvia divinorum in Mexico. Before my boss informed me about Salvia, I wasn't aware of its existence. Salvia is Mexican and I didn't know it, and I guess most of Mexicans still don't.

That's just one example for our situation as a country, after the oil we produce, tourism is our primary source of money. I think this mostly happens because people of other nations see what we haven't seen by ourselves, or at least our government. I don't think it has to do with a"sophisticated" way of advertise our country by our tourism department.

This is also true between individuals, when someone makes you believe a little more in you than just by yourself.

I didn't mean that me and Mexico are the only ones with these characteristics. In fact I'm referring to the whole humanity, most of the times it takes another person to point out our strengths and weaknesses. In those cases we mess it up or learn great lessons, depending on our circumstances.

I guess that if Mexican know more about this enigmatic herb, they would buy salvia instead of all those drugs and alcohol bad for our self-growth and inner peace.

If you have any comments, let me know. Specially You!!

I finally finished modifying meta-tags on our website. My boss left me alone with this task, he hasn't checked the results yet but I know he's gonna like my work.

Some of the keywords we're targeting for SEO are in the second page of Google, and some others are getting close to the first page. I hope that with the changes we made all our keywords reach the first page in less than 15 days.

There's some On-site SEO work to do, but I'll need the opinion of my boss prior to do this.

Now that I saw the text on our pages, I realize that it has enough quality content on each of them to avoid making major changes to them and continue with our back-linking strategy.

By the way, I don't know who wrote the meta keywords that were at our web pages, but this person didn't write correctly the words salvia divinorum, they wrote it like: saliva diviorum, or divorium, I hope that it didn't affected us all this time.

If you have any comments, let me know, I'll go to sleep now.
