Salvia divinorum is a psychoactive mint native planet of Mexico having a long and continuing tradition of use as an entheogen by indigenous Mazatec shamans, who use it to facilitate visionary states of consciousness during spiritual healing sessions.

The plant is found in isolated, shaded, and moist plots in Oaxaca, Mexico. It grows to well over a meter in height. It has hollow square stems, large green leaves, and occasional white and purple flowers. It is thought to be a cultigen.

Salvinorin-A, the active ingredient of salvia divinorum, is considered to be the most potent, selective and naturally occurring hallucinogen when smoked, rivaling the potency of the synthetic hallucinogens like LSD.

Special Features

Its effects are unique and cannot be compared with the effects of other drugs. The effects of Salvia do not appeal to many people. The people who are most drawn to it are both mature and philosophically minded. Beware of inaccurate information. There are many unethical vendors who try to lure naive customers by portraying the effects of Salvia as more appealing than they are in reality.

You cannot comment about its effects based on experiences you may have had with other herbs or drugs. Salvia has much to offer such as fascinating psychoactive effects, sensual enhancement, magical journeys, enchantment, philosophical insights, spiritual experiences, and perhaps even healing and divination. It should not be used casually.

Salvia divinorum can be chewed, smoked, or taken as a tincture to produce experiences ranging from uncontrollable laughter to much more intense and profoundly altered states. The duration of effects is much shorter as compare to other, more well-known psychedelics.

Short – term effects

The effects of smoked salvia typically last for only a few minutes. The most commonly reported after-effects include an increased feeling of insight, an improved mood, a sense of calmness, and an increased sense of connection with nature. Salvia is not generally understood to be toxic or addictive. As a ?-opioid agonist, it may have potential as an analgesic and as a therapeutic tool for treating drug addictions.

This herb is a psychoactive hallucinogen that can cause dramatic and sometimes frightening mind-states. Depending on dosage, a user’s reaction can vary from a faint, just-off-baseline state to a full-blown psychedelic experience. It has been reported to induce an intense hallucinatory experience in humans which typically persists from several minutes to an hour. It has been described as a “20-minute acid trip.”

Since not much is known, it can only be said that harm from Salvia divinorum most likely occurs from inadequate preparation or from using the drug in a setting in which it is dangerous to be intoxicated from any drug at all such as during driving.
