I'd love to find a good online supplier for this too. I've looked but can't find too many, and so far none that deliver to Florida.

Maybe I should have it delivered elsewhere and have a friend ship it to me.

Man, I've always wanted to do this. Best of luck dude! I heard growing it isn't very hard, but the extraction process is mind-numbing. I found this:

"First, the leaves are treated and cleaned. Next, using some chemistry all the active ingredients (Divinorin-A and Divinorin-B) are extracted from the plant, this process alone takes 3 weeks of patience. Then the liquid extraction is boiled down to an even more dense substance. Finally, it's painted on Saliva leaves, crushed (to increase surface area) and bottled into liquid dram vials to preserve freshness."

Gotta figure out what that "chemistry" is.

well i am not too worried about the extraction process because i found a pretty simple sounding extraction process on erowid http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia_extraction1.shtml . but i was reading that growing the plant was going to be hard especially if it is illegal here in canada(im not sure if it is or isnt i need to check the laws for that).

No supplier will ship to Florida because it's illegal here. Your best bet would be to do as you said.
