What is Salvia?
Salvia is known scientifically as salvia divinorum, is a type of psychedelic drug. This means it can really change the way a person experiences the world around them, affecting their senses, thoughts, emotions, and even their perception of time.
People who use psychedelics like salvia often report experiencing hallucinations seeing or hearing things that aren’t actually there or that seem distorted. This herb belongs to the mint family and is known for producing brief but intense psychedelic experiences.
The key component responsible for these effects is salvinorin A, which has been used for generations by Indigenous shamans in Mexico for various spiritual practices.

If you’re curious about what salvia looks like, user reports suggest that both the fresh and dried leaves are commonly used.

You might also hear salvia referred to by other names, such as Diviner’s Sage, Ska María Pastora, or Seer’s Sage.
