Salvia Divinorum is a hallucinogenic drug that may well be closer to home than you think: it is a member of the sage family and of the flowering Salvia plants that are popular in many homes and gardens.
Little is known about the short- and long-term effects of Salvia Divinorum’s main active ingredient, Salvinorin A, except that it acts in the same way as morphine and other opioids. “The compound” says Dr Roth of Case Western Reserve University “seems to have absolute specificity for a single receptor site on the brain.
Salvia Divinorum is widely available on the Internet for delivery throughout the world and is even available over the counter at some tobacco and specialist shops; it may be known as “Magic Mint,” “Ska Maria Pastora” or “Sally D” and is equally popular with young and old fans.
Despite the fact that Salvia Divinorum occurs naturally there are many who want to ban it and legislators have twice tried (and failed) to get the US Senate to ban the substance.
