there is a religious movement called Santo Daime which originates in Brasil and uses ayahuasca ("Daime") -
at least part if not all of the Santo Daime people refer to their herb as "Santa Maria" ... I think perhaps it may also have a direct association with the spirit of the Virgin Mary as associated with cannabis too, if you see what I mean ... but that they also only allow their "Santa Maria" strain to be smoked at ayahuasca ceremonies etc. and that only this cannabis is referred to as "Santa Maria"
not sure, still, seemed like pretty good stuff
mriko said:Right, who knows, maybe it comes from a cut of the Santo Daime Strain ? I had the oportunity to get some (sold as "Santa Maria") in A'dam in 2003. Excellent smoke with amazing visual effects, had a joint just before visiting some Van Gogh exhibition, was really great ! It also has a very strong spiritual potential definitely !
