Salvia divinorum (Diviner's Sage,[2] ska María Pastora,[3] Sage of the Seers,[4] or colloquially by its genus name Salvia) is a psychoactive herb which can induce dissociative effects. It is a herbaceous perennial in the Lamiaceae (mint) family. The specific name, Salvia divinorum, was given because of its traditional use in divination and healing[5]—it literally translates to "diviner's sage" or "seer's sage".[6][nb 1]

Salvia divinorum has a long and continuing tradition of religious use as an entheogen by indigenous Mazatec shamans, who use it to facilitate visionary states of consciousness during spiritual healing sessions.[1] Native habitat is within the isolated Sierra Mazateca cloud forest in Oaxaca, Mexico, growing within shaded and moist habitat.[7][8] It grows to well over a meter in height.[1] It has hollow square stems, large green leaves, and occasional white flowers with purple bracts. Botanists have not determined whether it is a cultigen or a hybrid.[9][7]

Its primary psychoactive constituent is a diterpenoid known as salvinorin A,[10][11] which is a potent κ-opioid receptor agonist. Salvinorin A is unique in that it is the only naturally occurring substance known to induce a psychedelic state this way. Salvia divinorum can be chewed, smoked, or taken as a tincture to produce experiences ranging from laughter to much more intense and profoundly altered states. The duration of effects is much briefer than those of other psychoactive compounds, typically only minutes in length.

The most commonly reported after-effects include an improved mood and sensations of insight, calmness, and connection with nature—though rarely it may also cause dysphoria.[12] Salvia divinorum is generally understood to be of low toxicity (high LD50)[13][14] and low addictive potential;[15][16] as a κ-opioid agonist, it may have potential as an analgesic and as a therapeutic tool for treating drug addictions.[17][18] While not currently regulated by US federal drug laws, several states have passed laws criminalizing the substance and the DEA has listed Salvia as a "drug of concern".[19]
