Where to get smokable herbals online

Any decent "legal highs" and if so any decent web sites to purchase from?
I recently moved to a new town in a new state and do not have a local connection for my smoking pleasure. I use either my hookah or titanium pipe to smoke. NAS not far away so none of the local head shops will sell the stuff since if they do the base will ban active personel from these shops.

Salvia, depending on the state

Best answer: Just exercise a whole lot until you get some real weed.
Salvia is worth trying if you like strange drug experiences, but I wouldn't want to smoke it every day. Or week...

Please read erowid.org about the pros and cons of various substances.
Please read up on your state law so that you don't break it.
Please don't do salvia w/o a sitter and a calm mind.

Salvia can put you in a frightening reality that you perceive as permanent. It's not for novices. And seconding the don't do it alone comment. Do a google search for "man smokes salvia and jumps out of window". It may only last for a few minutes, but when you're on it it seems like forever.

As a fellow toker, I feel you on not having a connect. Yet I would be very weary of the synthetic cannabinoids. For one, they are not tested on humans, and the formulas change to avoid the CSA analogues act. Number Two, the man who discovered all these chemicals has himself said anyone whos using these chemicals is pretty fucking dumb (okay he said it more eloquently than I, but with the same strenght of language).
Ive been offered to try synthetics multiple times, turning them down. Why mess around with something that isnt even the real deal?
Depending on where you are, you should have zero problems scoring in a day. If you are near a metro area, less than an hour. When I travel, I always figure out where I can score, and look for the signs someone is in the know. If you want it, you need to go out and make some new connects. It isnt hard. Just go out and ask. Shit if your in a metro area, go to the less affluent area and go to liquor stores and the like, people outside will proposition you. Furthermore, nothing ventured nothing gained. The worst thing that will probably happen is getting told "no".

Yeah, just another word of caution on spice or whatever it's called -- I know two different people (both regular weed smokers, apparently) who had to be hospitalized for a psychotic break after using synthetic marijuana they'd gotten OTC at gas stations. Whatever's in that stuff, it can go bad in really frightening ways.

Yeah, salvia. You really do need a sitter. Also, the first time I tried it nothing happened at all. The second time, a friend freaked out and attempted to flee (but was unable to), another felt nothing, and I experienced approximately 10 days of emerging from water, during which I decided I must be dead and was working on finding my hands when i came out of it. Strange drug. It only lasts about five minutes real-time.
I'm not sure what the deal is with "bath salts," but they apparently work in whatever capacity they're supposed to.
I don't trust it either, but I know experienced smokers who say that the fake-weed works.

'Bath Salts' are a wretchedly toxic hodgepodge of industrial chemicals, and shouldn't be introduced into the system of anyone, ever. If you need to, do some Erowid digging for ideas of what to expect.

Kratom is pretty cool, as well as Kava. Be careful with kava as it uses the same enzymes in your liver as alcohol.
Both legal and easy to find.

Bath salts are dangerous and should be avoided. They are what is known as research chemicals and are generally very strong, untested stimulant type drugs. Nothing at all relaxing like cannabis.

Just want to re-emphasize that salvia is not a substitute for pot. It is an extremely unpredictable hallucinogen that even experienced users of psychedelics often prefer to give a wide berth. LSD and mushrooms can generate euphoria, but salvia, not being serotonergic, does not. Read up on this and kratom (which sounds to me like the least potentially bad prospect) and kava on erowid.org.
If all else fails, no likely-looking prospects in the craigslist platonic section or anything, perhaps a kindly bartender?

Response by poster: Thx for all the info/links on synthetics and will defenately avoid them in the future, luckily it is ...a moot point as of a ill bit ago as the karmic gods smiled upon me as I was walking home and crossed paths with my savior.
