Hi all. As you may be aware we are currently experiencing some problems with our checkout and it's not working. This is because our merchant suddenly decided after 6 years of a great and prosperous working relationship that they weren't willing to process transactions from a site with 'adult' content such as our own.
We are currently working on an alternative checkout system but it's taking a little bit longer then we'd like. If you'd still like to place an order you can do so via bank transfer or cheque. Please email jo@coffeesh0p.com with what you'd like and which method you'd prefer and I'll get back to you with the relevant details.
Apologies for any inconvenience and huge thanks to those of you persevering with placing orders with us. We will definitely be back up and running properly soon but you guys are keeping us going in the meantime! - John & Jo

8 Reasons Salvia Divinorum Should Be Banned!
Fri 12th September, 2008 Average Rating:
1. No one earns serious money with it
Alcohol, tobacco, fast food, soft drinks, etc. are the real thing. That's where the big money lies. There is a cheap alternative you can grow anywhere? Ban it, we (the industry) don't want that!
2. It makes you think...
about reality, society, life, religion, politics, etc. You can't go on a spiritual journey to Sageland and come back the same. We (the governmental, capitalistic and religious puppeteers) don't want you to change. We invested a damn amount of time, effort and money to condition you just like we want you to behave. In the end you might even start thinking money is not that important. Ban it, we don't want that!
3. It makes you want to act...
as a result of 2 in order to change things for the better. If we learned one thing from the 60s psychedelic revolution... these things must be nipped in the bud. Keep to yourselves and fear your neighbour, that's how we keep you under control.
4. Privatized prisons require a steady flow of "customers"
A new line of business creates a new type of demand. We can't maintain that fancy internment camps and still make profits without a good number of inmates. Of course we prefer inmates of peaceful nature, not the real bad guys that always cause trouble. Come to Florida, grab some Sage, get convicted and call a tent your home for the next 15 years
5. Salvia is the new Crack
That's the truth and nothing but the truth, because we say so... not once, but 1000 times. You have to fear it, because it will eat your soul and you need to fear all people that handle it, because they are terrorists and want to kill you and your family. But not all is lost yet. Elect us and we will ban it and make this nation/state safe again. Do it for your children or Sage will turn them into devil worshippers, Sage whores and brutal killers. Do it now! Even if we can't get anything else right, at least we will ban Sage. That's how we show (pretend) you that we do care.
6. If it's not prohibited, the government signals it's harmless
It could be mistaken to be as harmless as guns, alcohol, cigarettes, knives, fast food or... God forbid... hair spray. Everything should be banned that is not proven to be absolutely harmless even in the hands of the worst madman or the clumsiest fool on this planet.
7. It might be benevolent for people's health
Pharma corporations have an exclusive licence on helping people... for a modest and absolutely appropriate price of course. You're looking for alternatives? Traitor! You can't take responsibility for you own health, because it will kill you and... well, it ruins our profits. In the end someone will even come up with a cure for cancer, our greatest business field ever. Never!
8. We (the dumb people) don't understand it
But it says 'drug', 'hallucinogenic', 'psychedelic', 'LSD' and so on, so it must be bad and therefore banned. Good we are being told, else we would have to think ourselves instead of parking our fat butts on the couch watching whatever the TV spits out.
Please feel free to add to the list. :)

Richie rich, you are an idiot. Things like salvia wont kill you when you use them. Only when you abuse them. Excess is bad. Salvia is good

Excellent article! Love the sarcasm. You can read another good article about why salvia should be legal: http://www.salviasociety.org/legal-salvia.htm
P.S. Keep up the good work, John!

Oh the beautiful satire! If you want to ban harmless salvia, then you must ban ASPIRIN too! 1)it kills people! 2) it has strange effects on the body! changing the body's reaction! 3) its a drug! it must be bad!

I am a forty year old and have been using SD for about 1 year now. To me there is no doubt that SD is an entheogen. This is its most important property. I also suffer from depression and asthma. SD has helped when antidepressants have not. For some strange reason it has also helped with my asthma.
Most bad experiences from SD can be attributed to 2 factors.
1. Too high an initial dose
2. Bad set and/or setting.
As for 1. the original Mazatecs chew the leaves. This if far removed from inhaling 20x, 30x enhanced leaf. I started with unehanced leaf, then with with the tincture and now can tolerate 5x and 10x. Recommnended dose of 5x is .04gms. Get a scale, don’t “eyeball” it.
As for 2. above. Recommended reading (with a very open mind): The Psychedelic Experience, By Timothy Leary. Third Bardo-bad experience, Second Bardo-Good Hallucinogenic experience. First Bardo- The Clear Light’
As for legality, of course the Socio/Politico/Religious powers that be are very worried about SD. They are worried about how it will upset their Status Quo. See George Orwell. 1984.
Bad idea: Scheduling SD. I can hear the Mexican drug barons laughing: “Those stupid Gringos, I hope they schedule SD so we can start trafficking it and make tons of money off of it.”
Of course scheduling plays into the Socio/Politico/Religious mafia’s hands. More money to fight “the war on drugs”. More fiery Sunday sermons, more “Save our Children” outrage.
As I said before SD is an Entheogen. If you are prepared for that then it will enhance your life. If you are not then you will deal with the consequences of meeting G-D and not being prepared. Imagine your embarrassment!
The current status quo for SD is precarious. Numerous states and national governments have banned it. What are they so afraid of?. Alcohol kills millions yearly. Why isn’t it banned? No deaths from SD reported, so far.
SD should be regulated, just like cigarettes and alcohol are. NO to minors, etc, etc. Scheduled? NO.
So much about Woodstock these days. The true meaning of Woodstock was: “Live and let live.” Why have we fallen so far? These are certainly unenlightened times, the return of the Dark AGES.

Bahaha! I love the comments on this that think he's actually saying Salvia should be illegal... Some people obviously don't understand sarcasm...
