<!--General features-->
'''''Salvia divinorum'''''  (((Lang-la|sage of the diviners)); also called '''ska maría pastora''', '''seer's sage''', '''yerba de la pastora''', '''magic mint''' or simply '''salvia''') is a [[plant]] species with transient [[psychoactive drug|psychoactive]] properties when its leaves, or extracts made from the leaves, are administered by [[smoking]], chewing, or drinking (as a [[tea]]).<ref name="drugs">((cite web|title=Salvia divinorum|url=https://www.drugs.com/npp/salvia-divinorum.html|publisher=Drugs.com|access-date=8 January 2018|date=2018))</ref> The leaves contain the potent compound ''[[salvinorin A]]'' and can induce a [[dissociative state]] and [[hallucination]]s.<ref name="front">((cite journal|doi=10.3389/fphar.2015.00190|pmid=26441647|pmc=4561799|title=Salvinorin A, a kappa-opioid receptor agonist hallucinogen: Pharmacology and potential template for novel pharmacotherapeutic agents in neuropsychiatric disorders|journal=Frontiers in Pharmacology|volume=6|pages=190|year=2015|last1=Butelman|first1=Eduardo R|last2=Kreek|first2=Mary Jeanne|doi-access=free))</ref>

==Etymology==
The genus name, ''Salvia'', was first used by [[Pliny the Elder|Pliny]] for a plant that was likely ''[[Salvia officinalis]]'' (common sage) and is derived from the Latin ''salvere''.<ref name="Kintzios2000">[[#refKintzios2000|Kintzios 2000]]</ref><ref name="Suttion2004">[[#refSutton2004|Sutton 2004]]</ref> The [[specific name (botany)|specific epithet]], ''divinorum'', was given because of the plant's traditional use in [[divination]].<ref name="Reisfield1993intro">[[#refReisfield1993|Reisfield 1993]], Introduction.</ref> It is often loosely translated as "diviner's sage" or "seer's sage".<ref name="Boire2002" /> [[Albert Hofmann]], who collected the first plants with Wasson, objected to the new plant being given the name ''divinorum'': "I was not very happy with the name because ''Salvia divinorum'' means "Salvia of the ghosts", whereas ''Salvia divinatorum'', the correct name, means "Salvia of the priests"." It is now in the botanical literature under the name ''Salvia divinorum'' due to priority rules.<ref name="refGrof2001">[[#refGrof2001|Grof 2001]]</ref>

===Common names===
There are many common names for ''S. divinorum'', including ''sage of the diviners'',<ref name="Medana2005p131">[[#refMedana2005|Medana et al. 2005]], p.&nbsp;131.</ref> ''ska maría pastora'',<ref name="Valdes1983p288">[[#refValdes1983|Valdés, Díaz & Paul 1983]], p.&nbsp;288.</ref> ''seer's sage'',<ref name="Boire2002" /> ''yerba de la pastora'',<ref>((PLANTS|id=SADI7|taxon=''Salvia divinorum''|access-date=28 October 2015))</ref> simply ''salvia'' also ''sally-d'' and ''magic mint''.<ref name="DEA2020" />

==History==
[[File:Huautla de Jimenez.jpg|right|thumb|[[Mazatec]] people performing a ritual dance in Huautla de Jimenez]]

''Salvia divinorum'' is native to the [[Sierra Mazateca]] in [[Oaxaca]], Mexico, where it is still used by the [[Mazatec people|Mazatec]], primarily to facilitate [[Shamanism|shamanic]] visions in the context of [[curandero|curing]] or [[divination]]. ''S. divinorum'' is one of several plant species with hallucinogenic properties that are ritually used by Mazatec shamans. In their rituals, the shamans use only freshly harvested ''S. divinorum'' leaves. They see the plant as an incarnation of the [[Virgin Mary]], and begin the ritual with an invocation to Mary, [[Saint Peter]], the [[Holy Trinity]], and other saints.<ref name="Valdés1983p287" /> Ritual use traditionally involves being in a quiet place after ingestion of the leaf—the Maztec shamans say that "''La Maria'' (''S. divinorum'') speaks with a quiet voice."<ref name="Reisfield1993barrier" />

It is also used in smaller amounts, as a [[diuretic]], and to treat ailments including diarrhea, [[anemia]], headaches, [[rheumatism]], and a semi-magical disease known as ''panzón de borrego'', or a swollen belly (literally, "lamb belly").<ref name="Imanshahidi2006p430" /><ref name="Valdés1983">[[#refValdes1983|Valdés, Díaz & Paul 1983]].</ref>

The history of the plant is not well known, and there has been no definitive answer to the question of its origin. Speculation includes ''Salvia divinorum'' being a wild plant native to the area; a [[cultigen]] of the Mazatecs; or a cultigen introduced by another indigenous group. Botanists have also not been able to determine whether it is a hybrid or a cultigen.<ref name="Marushia2002p6">[[#refMarushia2002|Marushia 2002]], p.&nbsp;6.</ref>

===Academic discovery===
[[file:Jbjohnson.jpg|thumb|[[Jean Basset Johnson]], who studied Mazatec shamanism during the 1930s.]]
''Salvia divinorum'' was first recorded in print by [[Jean Basset Johnson]] in 1939 while he was studying Mazatec shamanism.<ref name="Marushia2002p2">[[#refMarushia2002|Marushia 2002]], p.&nbsp;2.</ref> He later documented its use and reported its effects through personal testimonials of users.<ref name="Valdes1983p290">[[#refValdes1983|Valdés, Díaz & Paul 1983]], p.&nbsp;290.</ref> It was not until 2002 that [[Bryan Roth]] and his team identified the psychoactive mechanism.<ref name="Roth2002pabstract"/>

[[R. Gordon Wasson|Gordon Wasson]] tentatively postulated that the plant could be the mythological ''[[pipiltzintzintli]]'', the "Noble Prince" of the [[Aztec codices]].<ref name="Valdes1983p288" /><ref name="Wasson1963">[[#refWasson1963|Wasson 1963]].</ref> Wasson's speculation has been the subject of further debate amongst [[Ethnobotany|ethnobotanists]], with some scepticism coming from Leander J. Valdés,<ref name="Valdés2001">[[#refValdes2001|Valdés 2001]].</ref> and counterpoints more supportive of Wasson's theory from [[Jonathan Ott]].<ref name="Ott1995">[[#refOtt1995|Ott 1995]].</ref>

The identity of another mysterious [[Aztec entheogenic complex|Aztec entheogen]], namely that of ''poyomatli'', has also been suggested as being ''Salvia divinorum''.<ref name="Dweck1997">[[#refDweck1997|Dweck 1997]], p.15.</ref><!--Dweck via orig.ref. Mann 1989-->
Here too there are other candidate plants, notably [[Cacahuaxochitl]] (''Quararibea funebris''),<ref name="Erowid2007">[[#refErowid2007|Erowid (Cacahuaxochitl) 2007]].</ref> again suggesting that there is no consensus.

==Botany==
[[File:Salvia divinorum -1.jpg|thumb|upright|alt=The top of a skinny flowering plant, with dark green oval leaves near the bottom and in the background. In the foreground is a lighter green stem with many light blue calyces|Flowering ''Salvia divinorum'']]

[[File:Salvia divinorum flower detail.jpg|thumb|right|Flower detail, showing violet calyx and white corolla]]

''Salvia divinorum'' has large green [[Leaf shape|ovate]] (often also [[Crenate|dentate]]) leaves,<ref name=Giroud2000>[[#refGiroud2000|Giroud 2000]].</ref> with a yellow undertone that reach ((convert|10|to|30|cm|in|round=0.5|abbr=on)) long. The leaves have no [[trichome|hairs]] on either surface, and little or no [[Petiole (botany)|petiole]].<ref name="Valdes1987"/> The plant grows to well over ((convert|1|m|ft|0)) in height,<ref name="Valdés1983p287" /> on hollow square stems which tend to break or trail on the ground, with the plant rooting quite readily at the [[Plant stem|nodes]] and internodes.<ref name="Clebsch"/>

The flowers, which bloom only rarely, grow in [[Whorl (botany)|whorls]] on a ((convert|30|cm|in|adj=on)) [[inflorescence]], with about six flowers to each whorl. The ((convert|3|cm|in|frac=4|adj=on)) flowers are white, curved and covered with hairs, and held in a small violet [[sepal|calyx]] that is covered in hairs and glands. When it does bloom in its native habitat, it does so from September to May.<ref name="Clebsch"/>

Early authors erred in describing the flowers as having blue [[Corolla (flower)|corollas]], based on Epling and Játiva's description. The first plant material they received was dried, so they based the flower color on an erroneous description by Hofmann and Wasson, who didn't realize that their "blue flowers, crowned with a white dome" were in fact violet [[Sepal|calyces]] with unopened white corollas.<ref name="Valdés1983p287" /><ref name="Clebsch"/><ref name="Reisfield1993previousresearch">[[#refReisfield1993|Reisfield 1993]], Previous Research.</ref>

===Distribution and habitat===
''Salvia divinorum'' is [[endemism|endemic]] to the [[Sierra Mazateca]] in the state of [[Oaxaca]] in Mexico, growing in the primary or secondary [[cloud forest]] and tropical evergreen forest at elevations from ((convert|300|to|1830|m|ft)). Its most common habitat is black soil along stream banks where small trees and bushes provide an environment of low light and high humidity.<ref name="Clebsch"/><ref name="Ott1996" />

===Reproduction===
''Salvia divinorum'' produces few viable seeds even when it does flower—no seeds have ever been observed on plants in the wild. For an unknown reason, pollen fertility is also comparatively reduced. There is no active [[pollen tube]] inhibition within the [[Style (botany)|style]], but some event or process after the pollen tube reaches the ovary is aberrant. The likeliest explanations are [[inbreeding depression]] or [[hybridity]],<ref name="Reisfield1993barrier">[[#refReisfield1993|Reisfield 1993]], The Barrier to Fertility.</ref> although the latter was rejected in 2010.<ref name="Jenks"/> All of the Mazatec populations appear to be clonal.<ref name="Marushia2002p4">[[#refMarushia2002|Marushia 2002]], p.&nbsp;4.</ref> The plant's square stems break easily and tend to trail on the ground, rooting easily at the nodes and internodes.<ref name="Reisfield1993distribution">[[#refReisfield1993|Reisfield 1993]], Distribution, Ecology, & Flower Initiation.</ref>

===Taxonomy===
''Salvia divinorum'' was first documented in 1939; yet, it was many years before botanists could identify the plant due to Mazatec secrecy about the growing sites.<ref name=Reisfield1993intro/> Flowers were needed for a definitive identification of the species. In 1962, the Swiss chemist [[Albert Hofmann]] and ethnomycologist [[R. Gordon Wasson]] traveled throughout the Sierra Mazateca researching Mazatec rituals while looking for specimens of the plant. They were unable to locate live plants. Eventually, the Mazatec provided them some flowering specimens.<ref name="Marushia2002p2" /> These specimens were sent to botanists [[Carl Epling]] and Carlos D. Játiva, who described and named the plant as ''Salvia divinorum'', in reference to its use in divination and healing by the Mazatec.<ref name="Reisfield1993intro" /> By 1985, up to fifteen populations of the plant had been located.<ref name="Clebsch">[[#refClebsch2003|Clebsch & Barner 2003]], p. 106.</ref>

Until 2010, there were differing opinions as to whether ''Salvia divinorum'' is an [[interspecific hybrid]]. The plant's partial [[sterile hybrid|sterility]] was suggestive of a [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] origin, though no two parent species have been found with an obvious affinity to ''Salvia divinorum''.<ref name="Valdes1987"/><ref name="Marushia2002p3"/><ref name="Reisfield1993barrier" /> One other possibility for the plant's partial sterility is that long-term [[vegetative propagation|cultivation]] and selection have produced an [[Heterozygote advantage|inbred]] cultigen.<ref name="Reisfield1993barrier" /><ref group="nb">Botanist Valdés (1987), wrote that, "It is doubtful that the Salvia is a true cultigen", based partly on his belief that it was first "collected in the highlands and planted in more accessible places, where it becomes naturalized". The main cultigen proponent is Gordon Wasson, who is not a botanist.</ref>

In 2010, a [[molecular phylogenetic]] approach by [[DNA sequencing]] of ''Salvia divinorum'' and a number of related species suggested that the species is not a hybrid.<ref name="Jenks">((cite journal |last1=Jenks |first1=Aaron A. |last2=Walker |first2=Jay B. |last3=Kim |first3=Seung-Chul |title=Evolution and origins of the Mazatec hallucinogenic sage, ''Salvia divinorum'' (Lamiaceae): a molecular phylogenetic approach |journal=Journal of Plant Research |year=2010 |doi=10.1007/s10265-010-0394-6 |pmid=21125306 |volume=124 |issue=5 |pages=593–600|s2cid=28382245 ))</ref> One earlier proposed parent was ''Salvia cyanea'' (a [[synonym (biology)|synonym]] for ''Salvia concolor''), which Epling and Játiva believed to be closely allied to ''Salvia divinorum''.<ref name="Ott1996">[[#refOtt1996|Ott 1996]]</ref><ref name="Reisfield1987">[[#refReisfield1987|Reisflield 1987]], p. 199.</ref><ref group="nb">Reisfield is unsure why Epling "used the invalid name (the synonym rather than the valid name ''S. concolor''), nor why he considered this species close to ''S. divinorum''".</ref> The 2010 study demonstrated ''Salvia divinorum''(('))s closest relative to be ''[[Salvia venulosa]]''—a rare and endemic ''Salvia'' that is native to Colombia, growing in shaded, wooded gullies at ((convert|1500|to|2000|m|ft|abbr=on)) elevation. It also showed that ''Salvia divinorum'' does not belong to the ''Salvia'' [[section (biology)|section]] ''Dusenostachys'', as believed earlier. The genetic study also indicated that ''Salvia venulosa'' was likely misplaced into ''Salvia'' section ''Tubiflorae'', and that it may not be related to other Colombian ''Salvia'' species, though further tests are needed.<ref name="Jenks"/> A 2013 follow-up analysis of more ''Salvia'' species reported the same result.<ref>((cite journal |last1=Jenks |first1=Aaron A. |last2=Walker |first2=Jay B. |last3=Kim |first3=Seung-Chul |title=Phylogeny of New World Salvia subgenus Calosphace (Lamiaceae) based on cpDNA (psbA-trnH) and nrDNA (ITS) sequence data |journal=Journal of Plant Research |date=July 2013 |volume=126 |issue=4 |pages=483–496 |doi=10.1007/s10265-012-0543-1|pmid=23263465 |bibcode=2013JPlR..126..483J |s2cid=10118010 ))</ref>

The origin of ''Salvia divinorum'' was still a mystery as of 1993, one of only three plants in the extensive genus ''Salvia'' (approximately 900 species) with unknown origins—the other two being ''[[Salvia tingitana]]'' and ''[[Salvia buchananii]]''.<ref name="Foley">[[#refFoley2008|Foley 1993]], p. 56.</ref>

===Strains===
[[File:Salviadivinorum-healthy.jpg|thumb|alt=Three short green plants in a pot filled with soil. There are many oval-shaped green leaves and no flowers.|Three ''Salvia divinorum'' plants]]
There are two commonly cultivated strains which are known to be distinct. One is the strain that was collected in 1962 by ecologist and psychologist Sterling Bunnell (the ''Bunnell'' strain), colloquially mis-attributed as the ''Wasson-Hofmann strain''. The other was collected from [[Municipality of Huautla de Jiménez|Huautla de Jiménez]] in 1991 by anthropologist Bret Blosser (the ''Blosser'' or ''Palatable'' strain).<ref>[http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia_timeline.php Erowid, Salvia Timeline] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090419113826/http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia_timeline.php |date=2009-04-19 )).</ref><ref>[[#refSiebert2003|Siebert 2003]].</ref> There are other strains that are not as well documented, such as the ''Luna'' strain (possibly ''Bunnell'') isolated from a Hawaiian patch of ''Salvia divinorum'' clones, featuring unusually serrated and rounded rather than ovate leaves.<ref>[http://www.sagewisdom.org/salvlf.html Siebert, 'Luna' Clone] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090720063623/http://www.sagewisdom.org/salvlf.html |date=2009-07-20 )).</ref>

===Cultivation===

====Propagation by cuttings====
''Salvia divinorum'' is usually propagated through [[vegetative reproduction]].<ref>((cite web |last1=Spectral Mindustries |title=The Salvia Divinorum Grower's Guide |url=https://files.shroomery.org/cms/5093093-SalviaGrowersGuide.pdf |website=Shroomery))</ref> Small [[Cutting (plant)|cuttings]], between ((convert|2|and|8|in|cm|0|order=flip|abbr=on)) long, cut off of the [[mother plant]] just below a [[node (plant biology)|node]], will usually root in plain tap water within two or three weeks.<ref name=SiebertGrow>[[#refSiebertGrow|Siebert (Cultivation advice)]].</ref><ref name=Beifuss1997>[[#refBeifuss1997|Beifuss 1997]].</ref>

====Flowering====
Blooms occur when the [[short-day plant|day length]] becomes shorter than 12 hours (beginning in mid-October in some places), necessitating the use of [[shade cloth]] in urban environments with exposure to [[light pollution]] caused by [[high pressure sodium|HPS lighting]]. Both Siebert and hobbyist  reports indicate that viable seeds can, on occasion, be produced under cultivation, following [[hand-pollination]] or hummingbird pollination.<ref>((cite web

==Chemistry==
((Further|Salvinorin A))
[[File:Salvinorin A structure.svg|alt=A chemical structure diagram showing benzene rings and various bonding with oxygen and hydrogen molecules|thumb|Salvinorin A]]
The known active constituent of ''Salvia divinorum'' is a ''trans''-[[neoclerodane]] [[terpenoid|diterpenoid]] known as '''[[salvinorin A]]''' (chemical formula C<sub>23</sub>H<sub>28</sub>O<sub>8</sub>).<ref name="Prisinzano2005p528">[[#refPrisinzano2005|Prisinzano 2006]], p.&nbsp;528.</ref> This compound is present in the dried plant at about 0.18%.<ref name="Ott1995" />

Salvinorin A is not an [[alkaloid]] (meaning it does not contain a [[Base (chemistry)|basic]] [[nitrogen]]), unlike most known [[opioid receptor]] [[ligand]]s.<ref name="Harding2006p107">[[#refHarding2006|Harding, Schmidt & Tidgewell 2006]], p.&nbsp;107.</ref> Salvinorin A is the first documented [[diterpene]] hallucinogen.<ref name=Giroud2000/>

Similar to many psychoactive herbs, ''Salvia divinorum'' synthesizes and excretes its active constituent (salvinorin A) via [[trichome]]s, of the [[peltate]]-glandular [[morphology (biology)|morphology]], located just beneath the [[Plant cuticle|cuticle]] (subcuticular) layer.<ref>[[#refSiebert2004|Siebert 2004]].</ref><ref>[[#refKunkel2004|Kunkel 2004]].</ref>

Salvinorin A is capable of inhibiting excess [[intestinal motility]] (e.g. diarrhea), through a combination of κ-opioid and cannabinoid (mainly [[Cannabinoid receptor type 1|CB<sub>1</sub> receptor]]) receptors in ''inflamed'' but not normal gut ''[[in vivo]]''. The mechanism of action for Salvinorin A on [[ileum|ileal]] tissue has been described as 'prejunctional', as it was able to modify electrically induced contractions, but ''not'' those of [[exogenous]] [[acetylcholine]].<ref>[[#refCapasso2006|Capasso 2006]].</ref> Results from a study at the University of Iowa indicate that it may have potential as an [[analgesic]] and as a therapeutic tool for treating drug addictions.<ref>[[#refMasis20070228|Masis 2007-02-28 (US Media)]]</ref><ref name="PrisinzanoTidgewellHarding2005">[[#refPrisinzanoTidgewellHarding2005|Prisinzano, Tidgewell & Harding 2005]].</ref>

A pharmacologically important aspect of the contraction-reducing ([[antispasmodic]]) properties of ingested Salvinorin A on gut tissue is that it is only pharmacologically active on ''inflamed'' and ''not'' normal tissue, thus reducing possible side-effects.<ref>[[#refCapasso2008|Capasso 2008]].</ref>

==Ingestion==
There are a few ways to consume ''Salvia divinorum''. In traditional Mazatec ritual, shamans use only fresh ''Salvia divinorum'' leaves. Modern methods have been developed to more effectively absorb the active principle, [[salvinorin A]]. If enough salvinorin A is absorbed, an [[altered state of consciousness]] can occur. The duration of experience varies with the method of ingestion and the amount of salvinorin A absorbed.

===Traditional methods===
[[Mazatec shamans]] crush the leaves to extract leaf juices from about 20 to 80 or more fresh leaves (i.e. about ((convert|50-200|g|oz|frac=2|abbr=on|disp=or))). They usually mix these juices with water to create an infusion or '[[tea]]' which they drink to induce visions in ritual healing ceremonies.<ref name="Valdés1983" />

Chewing and swallowing a large number of fresh leaves is the other Mazatec method.<ref name=SiebertSdUG/><ref name=HarrisonShepherdess>[[#refHarrisonShepherdess|Harrison. The Leaves of the Shepherdess. 2000.]]</ref> Oral consumption of the leaf makes the effects come on more slowly, over a period of 10 to 20 minutes. The experience, from the onset of effects, lasts from about 30 minutes up to one and a half hours.<ref name=SiebertFAQVI/>

Doses for chewing vastly exceed doses used for smoking. By calculating the concentrations per leaf ("an average concentration of 2.45&nbsp;mg per gram" of leaf),<ref name=SiebertFAQX>[[#refSiebertFAQ|Siebert (FAQ)]]—Section X.</ref> the average weight per leaf ("about 50&nbsp;g" per 20 leaves, or 2.5&nbsp;g/leaf),<ref name=Valdes1983>[[#refValdes1983|Valdes 1983]].</ref> and the standard dose for chewing (about 8–28 leaves),<ref name=SiebertSdUG/> the doses can range from about 50&nbsp;mg to 172&nbsp;mg.

===Modern methods===
Modern methods of ingestion include smoking or chewing the leaf, or using a [[tincture]], as described in the following sections.

[[File:SalviaDivinorum25xExtract.jpg|thumb|alt=A pile of brownish-dark green dried leaf pieces, with a ruler for measurement. The pieces are generally round with diameters of 1 to 4 mm. Some pieces are rectangular, about 1 to 3 mm wide and 3 to 8 mm long.|right|0.5&nbsp;g. of 25x ''S. divinorum'' extract.]] ''Salvia divinorum'' is becoming more widely known and used in modern culture. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health, an annual US based survey sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration ([[SAMHSA]]), for 2006 estimated that about 1.8 million persons aged 12 or older had used ''Salvia divinorum'' in their lifetime, of which approximately 750,000 had done so in that year.<ref>[[#refSAMHSA2006|SAMHSA 2006]].</ref> The following year, 2007, saw the annual figure rise from 750,000 to 1 million US users.<ref name=Sullum2009>[[#refSullum2009|Sullum 2009]].</ref>

====Smoking====
Dry leaves can be smoked in a pipe, or through the use of a [[bong|water pipe]] to cool the smoke.<ref name="SiebertSmokeAdvice">[[#refSiebertSmokeAdvice|Siebert (Smoke advice)]].</ref> The [[Enthalpy of vaporization|temperature required]] to release salvinorin from the plant material is quite high (about 240&nbsp;°C). A cooler flame will work, but the direct application of a more intense flame, such as that of a [[torch lighter]], is often preferred.<ref name="SiebertSmokeAdvice" />

Some find that untreated dry leaf produces unnoticeable or only light effects.<ref name=SiebertSdUG/> Concentrated preparations or [[extract]]s which may be smoked in place of untreated leaves, have become widely available. This enhanced (or "fortified") leaf is described by a number followed by an x (e.g. ''5x'', ''10x''), the multiplicative factors being generally indicative of the relative amounts of leaf concentrate, though there is no accepted standard for these claims. Other sources may use a system of color codes to form their own standards of potency; for example, "green", "yellow", and "red."

These grades of potency may be roughly indicative of the relative concentration of the [[active principle]], (salvinorin A), but the measure should not be taken as absolute. Overall extract [[Potency (pharmacology)|potency]] will depend on the (naturally varying) strength of the untreated leaf used in preparing the extract, as well as the [[Partition coefficient|efficiency]] of the extraction process itself. Extracts reduce the overall amount of inhalations needed to ingest a given amount of active principle, thus facilitating more powerful experiences.<ref name="SiebertFAQIV">[[#refSiebertFAQ|Siebert (FAQ)]]—Section IV.</ref>

If salvia is smoked, then the main effects are experienced quickly. The most intense 'peak' is reached within a minute or so and lasts for 1–5 minutes, followed by a gradual tapering off. At 5–10 minutes, less intense yet still noticeable effects typically persist, giving way to a returning sense of the everyday and familiar until back to [[baseline (pharmacology)|baseline]] after about 15 to 20 minutes.<ref name="SiebertFAQVI">[[#refSiebertFAQ|Siebert (FAQ)]]—Section VI.</ref>

====Quid chewing====
The [[#Traditional methods|traditional method]] of chewing the leaves has continued in modern use. However, salvinorin A is generally considered to be [[active (pharmacology)|inactive]] when orally ingested, as salvinorin A is effectively deactivated by the gastrointestinal system.<ref>[[#refSiebert1994|Siebert 1994]].</ref> Therefore, in what's understood to be a modern innovation, the '[[wikt:quid|quid]]' of leaves is held in the mouth as long as possible in order to facilitate [[intrabuccal absorption|absorption]] of the active constituents through the oral mucosa.<ref name="Ott1996"/> 'Quid' refers to the fact that at the end of this method the user spits out the leaves rather than swallowing them because ingesting the leaves has no known effect. Chewing consumes more of the plant than smoking, and produces a longer-lasting experience.

====Using a tincture====
Less commonly, some may ingest salvia in the form of a [[tincture]]. This is administered [[sublingual]]ly, usually with the aid of a [[Pasteur pipette|glass dropper]]. It may be taken diluted with water just before use, which may slightly reduce the intensity of its effects, but can also serve to lessen or avoid a stinging sensation in the mouth caused by the presence of alcohol. Tinctures vary in potency, and the effects can range from inducing a mild meditative state to bringing about a more intense hallucinatory one.<ref name=SiebertSdUG>[[#refSiebertSdUG|Sage Student - Sd User Guide]].</ref>

When taken as a tincture the effects and duration are similar to other methods of oral ingestion, though they may be significantly more intense, depending on extract potency.<ref name=SiebertSdUG/>

==Effects==

<!--Please take particular care when editing this section—Wikipedia is not simply a platform for you to post your own experience -->
Aside from individual reported experiences, there has been a limited amount of published work summarising salvia divinorum effects. A survey of salvia users found that 38% described the effects as unique in comparison to other methods of altering consciousness. 23% said the effects were like [[yoga]], [[meditation]] or [[trance]].<ref name="Baggott2004p14">[[#refBaggott2004|Baggott & Erowid 2004]], p.&nbsp;14.</ref> Users have written prose about their experiences;<ref name="Lizard2001">[[#refLizard2001|Lizard 2001]].</ref><ref name="SiebertArts">[[#refSiebertArts|Siebert (Arts)]]</ref> some describing their visions pictorially, and there exist examples of [[visionary art]] which are 'salvia-inspired'. Others claim musical inspiration from the plant.<ref name="SiebertArts" />

=== Near-death experience ===
A 2019 large-scale study found that [[ketamine]], ''Salvia divinorum'', and [[N,N-Dimethyltryptamine|DMT]] (and other classical psychedelic substances) are linked to [[near-death experience]]s.<ref>((cite journal |last1=Martial |first1=C |last2=Cassol |first2=H |last3=Charland-Verville |first3=V |last4=Pallavicini |first4=C |last5=Sanz |first5=C |last6=Zamberlan |first6=F |last7=Vivot |first7=RM |last8=Erowid |first8=F |last9=Erowid |first9=E |last10=Laureys |first10=S |last11=Greyson |first11=B |last12=Tagliazucchi |first12=E |title=Neurochemical models of near-death experiences: A large-scale study based on the semantic similarity of written reports. |journal=Consciousness and Cognition |date=March 2019 |volume=69 |pages=52–69 |doi=10.1016/j.concog.2019.01.011 |pmid=30711788|hdl=2268/231971 |s2cid=73432875 |hdl-access=free ))</ref>

===Safety===
[[Dale Pendell]] expressed some concerns about the use of highly concentrated forms of salvia. In its natural form, salvia is more balanced and benevolent((snd)) and quite strong enough, he argues. High strength extracts on the other hand can show "a more precipitous, and more terrifying, face" and many who try it this way may never wish to repeat the experience.<ref name="Pendell1995">[[#refPendell1995|Pendell 1995]].</ref>

====Vaporization====
Ethnobotanist [[Daniel Siebert (ethnobotanist)|Daniel Siebert]] cautions that inhaling hot air can be irritating and potentially damaging to the lungs. Vapor produced by a heat gun needs to be cooled by running it through a water pipe or cooling chamber before inhalation.<ref>((Cite web | url=http://www.erowid.org/ask/ask.php?ID=3139 |title = Ask Erowid : ID 3139 : Do vaporizers work with ''Salvia divinorum''?))</ref>

===Research===
An ABC news report said excitement over research into ''Salvia'' "could vanish overnight if the federal government criminalized the sale or possession of salvia, as the [[Drug Enforcement Administration|Drug Enforcement Agency]] [sic] is considering doing right now."<ref name="Terry20071006">[[#refTerry20071003|Terry 2007-10-03 (US Media)]].</ref> A proposed Schedule I classification would mean (among other things) that there is no "currently accepted medical use" as far as the United States government is concerned.<ref name="DEA2002">[[#refDEA2002|DEA 2002]], title 21, section 812.</ref> Scientists worry that such legislation would restrict further work.<ref name="Roth2007">[[#refRoth2007|Roth 2007]].</ref><ref name="Schaper20060320">[[#refSchaper20060320|Schaper 2006-03-20 (US Media)]].</ref> Mendelsohn said scheduling salvia could scare away a great deal of research and development into salvia's therapeutic promise.<ref name="Terry20071006" />

The relatively recent emergence of ''Salvia divinorum'' in modern Western culture, in comparison to its long continuing traditions of indigenous use, contrasts widely differing attitudes on the subject.

Opinions range from veneration of the plant as a spiritual sacrament or "a gift from the gods",<ref name="Valdés1983" /><ref name="Schultes1992">[[#refSchultes1992|Schultes 1992]].</ref> to a "threat to society", to be banned as quickly as possible in order to "spare countless families the horror of losing a loved one to the relentless tentacles of drug abuse".<ref name="Cardall20061128">[[#refCardall20061212|Cardall 2006-12-12 (US Media)]].</ref>

===Media coverage===
Interest in ''Salvia divinorum'' has been escalating in the news media, particularly in the United States, where an increasing number of newspaper reports have been published and television news stories broadcast.<ref>[[#refShafer20080506|Shafer 2008-05-06 (US Media)]].</ref>

These stories generally raise alarms over salvia's legal status, for example comparing it to LSD,<ref name="Martell20070618">[[#refMartell20070618|Martell 2007-06-18 (US Media)]].</ref><ref name="Devine20070219">[[#refDevine20070219|Devine 2007-02-19 (US Media)]].</ref><ref name="Blake20061113">[[#refBlake20061113|Blake 2006-11-13 (US Media)]].</ref> or describing it as "the new pot",<ref name="Sanchick20070214">[[#refSanchick20070214|Sanchick 2007-02-14 (US Media)]].</ref> with parental concerns being raised by particular focus on salvia's use by younger teens.

Story headlines may also include 'danger' keywords, such as "Dangerous Herb is Legal..."<ref name="Dujanovic20061127">[[#refDujanovic20061127|Dujanovic 2006-11-27 (US Media)]].</ref> or "Deadly Dangers Of A Street Legal High".<ref name="Quinones20061130">[[#refQuinones20061130|Quinones 2006-11-30 (US Media)]].</ref>

Mainstream news coverage and journalistic opinion has widely been negative on the subject. In a local news report aired on ABC affiliate WJLA in Washington, DC on July 11, 2007, the anchors are seen to exchange expressions of incredulity when referring to a salvia story with the following introduction "Now, an exclusive I-Team investigation of a hallucinogenic drug that has begun to sweep the nation. What might amaze you is that right now the federal government is doing nothing to stop it".<ref name="Baskin20070711">[[#refBaskin20070711|Baskin 2007-07-11 (US Media)]].</ref>

In March 2008 a Texas news report aired with the story "A legal drug that teenagers are now using to get high could soon be banned here in San Antonio - all because of a Fox News 4 investigation", going on to say, "The drug is legal in Texas, at least for now. But a News 4 investigation could lead to a new ordinance to protect your kids."<ref name=Chancellor20080314>[[#refChancellor20080314|Chancellor 2008-03-14 (US Media)]].</ref>

Many salvia media stories headline with comparisons to [[LSD]]. However, while LSD and salvinorin A may have comparative potencies, in the sense that both can produce their effects at low dosages, they are otherwise quite different. The two substances are not chemically similar or related, as salvinorin A is found naturally in a single plant while LSD is chemically [[semisynthesis|semisynthesized]] from lysergamides like [[ergotamine]]. They are ingested in different ways and produce different effects, which manifest themselves over different timescales. For example, the effects of salvia when smoked typically last for only a few minutes as compared to LSD, whose effects can persist for 8–12 hours.<ref name="SiebertFAQVI"/><ref>[[#refShulgin1997|Shulgin 1997]].</ref>

===Brett's law===
((Main|Brett's law))
A particular focus of many US media stories is the long-running coverage of the case of Brett Chidester,<ref name="Baskin20070711" /><ref name="Anderson20060413" /> a 17-year-old [[Delaware]] student who committed suicide in January 2006 by [[carbon monoxide poisoning]].

Reportedly, some months before this, Brett's mother Kathleen Chidester had learned about his salvia use and questioned him about it. Brett said that he had ceased his experimentation, but his parents did not believe that he was telling the truth. They have instead argued that salvia-induced depression was largely to blame for his death. Some of Brett's earlier writings about his salvia experiences have been used to suggest that it made him think "existence in general is pointless." Some media stories have referred to these earlier written experience reports as if they were part of Brett's suicide note.<ref name=Schaper20060320/><ref name="Anderson20060413"/> A law was soon passed in Delaware classifying the herb as a [[Schedule I controlled substance]] in that state. This legislation was nicknamed [[Brett's law]] (formally referred to as Senate bill 259).<ref>[[#refPeterson2006|Peterson 2006]].</ref>

Although the Chidester story has been given continued exposure by US media, there has not been anywhere else, either before or since this controversial incident, any other reported cases involving or alleging ''Salvia divinorum'' as a serious factor in suicide, overdose, accidental, or any other kind of death. Regarding this, San Francisco attorney Alex Coolman has commented, "It's remarkable that Chidester's parents, and ''only'' Chidester's parents, continue to be cited over and over again by the mainstream media in their coverage of the supposed 'controversy' over the risks of ''Salvia divinorum''."<ref>[[#refCoolman2007|Coolman 2007]].</ref>

Kathleen Chidester has continued campaigning for "Schedule I"-like legislation beyond their home state of Delaware. For example, three years after Brett's death, in written testimony in support of Senator Richard Colburn's proposed Senate Bill to the Maryland State Legislature, saying, "My hope and goal is to have salvia regulated across the US. It's my son's legacy and I will not end my fight until this happens."<ref>[[#refMichael20090128|Michael 2009-01-28 (US Media)]].</ref>

===Usage shown on YouTube===

Nebraska Senator [[Vickie McDonald]] responded with "Anytime anything's on YouTube it's an issue," and "Legislators, parents, grandparents, we need to be on top of these things,"<ref>[[#refWhite20080108|White 2008-01-08 (US Media)]].</ref><ref name=Berry20080107>[[#refBerry20080107|Berry 2008-01-07 (US Media)]].</ref>  McDonald proposed Schedule I listing ''Salvia divinorum'' as part of their [[Controlled Substances Act]], under which possession of salvia would have been considered a Class IV felony with a penalty of up to five years and trafficking would have fallen under a Class III felony with up to a 20 year penalty.<ref name=Berry20080107/>

The issue has been raised of whether the salvia videos are in breach of YouTube's own community guidelines, which ask users not to "cross the line" and post videos showing "bad stuff" like "drug abuse".<ref>[[#refYouTubeGuide2008|YouTube Guidelines 2008]].</ref> The question is considered as particularly problematical as the videos may be something of an enforcement grey area.<ref>[[#refSarno20080912|Sarno 2008-09-12 (US Media)]].</ref>

==Legal status==
((Main|Legal status of Salvia divinorum))
Many countries control ''Salvia divinorum'' in some manner.<ref name="DEA2008" /><ref name="ErowidLegalStatus">[[#refErowidLegalStatus|Erowid (Legal status)]].</ref> As of 2015, it is illegal in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Romania, South Korea, Sweden, and Switzerland. It is legal to possess and grow in Chile, France and&nbsp;Spain, but not to sell. In Russia, it is legal to possess, but not grow or sell. Estonia, Finland, Iceland, and Norway treat it as a [[traditional medicine|medicinal herb]] that requires a [[Prescription drug|prescription]].<ref name="SiebertLegalStatus">[[#refSiebertLegalStatus|Siebert (Legal status)]].</ref>

The prohibitive degree of ''Salvia divinorum'' legislation varies widely from country to country. Australia has imposed its strictest '[[Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Drugs and Poisons|schedule 9]]' (US [[Schedule I controlled substance|Schedule I]] equivalent), and Italy has also placed salvia in its 'Table I' of controlled substances (also US Schedule I equivalent). In Spain, there are controls focusing only on the commercial trade of ''Salvia divinorum'', personal cultivation (i.e. for non-commercial use) is not targeted.<ref name="SiebertLegalStatus" /><ref name="ErowidLegalStatus" />

Legislation may prove difficult to enforce. The plant has a nondescript appearance; unlike many other drug plants, the leaves are non-descript, and without a detectable odour. ''Salvia divinorum'' can be grown as an ordinary [[houseplant]] without the need of special equipment such as [[hydroponic]]s or [[high-power lights]].<ref name="Shulgin2003">[[#refShulgin2003|Shulgin 2003]].</ref><ref name="Chalmers20060506">[[#refChalmers20060506|Chalmers 2006-05-06 (US Media)]].</ref>((#tag:ref|The case of North Dakota resident [[Legal status of Salvia divinorum#Kenneth Rau|Kenneth Rau]] is reported as likely being the first person charged for ''Salvia divinorum'' possession in the United States.<ref name="ReferenceA">[[#refDWC20080425|DRCNet 2008-04-25 (US Media)]].</ref><ref name="ReferenceB">[[#refMichael20080803|Michael 2008-08-03 (US Media)]].</ref>))

''Salvia divinorum'' is considered a Schedule 9 prohibited plant in Australia under the [[Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons|Poisons Standard]] (October 2015).<ref name="Poisons Standard">((cite web|url=https://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2015L01534|title=Poisons Standard October 2015|website=Comlaw.gov.au|date=30 September 2015 |access-date=26 March 2022))</ref> A schedule 9 drug is outlined in the [[Poisons Act 1964]] as "Substances which may be abused or misused, the manufacture, possession, sale or use of which should be prohibited by law except when required for medical or scientific research, or for analytical, teaching or training purposes with approval of the CEO."<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.slp.wa.gov.au/pco/prod/FileStore.nsf/Documents/MRDocument%3A26063P/%24FILE/Poisons%20Act%201964%20-%20%5B09-f0-04%5D.pdf?OpenElement|format=PDF|title=Poisons Act 1964|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222191725/http://www.slp.wa.gov.au/pco/prod/FileStore.nsf/Documents/MRDocument%3A26063P/%24FILE/Poisons%20Act%201964%20-%20%5B09-f0-04%5D.pdf?OpenElement|access-date=26 March 2022|archive-date=2015-12-22))</ref>

===United States===
((Main|Legal status of Salvia divinorum in the United States))
National legislation for amendment of the Controlled Substances Act to place salvinorin A and ''Salvia divinorum'' in Schedule I at the federal level in the United States was proposed in 2002 by [[Rep. Joe Baca|Representative Joe Baca]] ([[United States Democratic Party|D]]- California). Those opposed to bill HR 5607 include [[Daniel Siebert (ethnobotanist)|Daniel Siebert]], who sent a letter to Congress arguing against the proposed legislation,<ref name="Siebert2002">[[#refSiebert2002|Siebert 2002]].</ref> and the [[Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics]] (CCLE), who sent key members of the US Congress a report on ''Salvia divinorum'' and its active principle,<ref name="Boire2002">[[#refBoire2002|Boire 2002]].</ref> along with letters from an array of scientists who expressed concern that scheduling ''Salvia divinorum'' would negatively impact important research on the plant. The bill did not pass.<ref name="Baca2002">[[#refBaca2002|Baca 2002]].</ref><ref>[[#refDEA2003|DEA 2003]].</ref><ref name="CCLE2002">[[#refCCLE2002|CCLE 2002]].</ref>

Although salvia is not regulated under the [[Controlled Substances Act]], as of 2009, it had been made illegal in 13 states.<ref>[[#refHoneycutt20090209|Honeycutt 2009-02-09 (US Media)]]</ref><ref name="ReferenceC">[[#refMason20090130|Mason 2009-01-30 (US Media)]].</ref>  Delaware banned it after salvia use was reported to have played a role in the suicide of a teenager.<ref name="ReferenceC"/>  Alabama, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Texas, and other states have passed their own laws.<ref name="DEA2008" /><ref>((cite web|title=Code of Alabama 1975|url=http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/CodeOfAlabama/1975/coatoc.htm|publisher=Alabama Legislature|access-date=17 March 2011|page=Section 13A–12–214.1|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140706135040/http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/CodeofAlabama/1975/coatoc.htm|archive-date=6 July 2014))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://legiscan.com/TX/bill/HB124/2013|title=Texas HB124 &#124; 2013-2014 &#124; 83rd Legislature|website=Legiscan.com|access-date=26 March 2022))</ref> Several other states have proposed legislation against salvia, including Alaska, California, Florida, Iowa, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. Many of these proposals have not made it into law, with motions having failed, stalled or otherwise died, for example at committee review stages.<ref name="SiebertLegalStatus" /><ref name="ErowidLegalStatus" />

Where individual state legislation does exist, it varies from state to state in its prohibitive degree.<ref name="SiebertLegalStatus" />

Legal consequences may also exist even in states without bans on salvia in particular. Christian Firoz, a Nebraska store owner, was charged for selling salvia, but not under the auspices of any specific law against ''Salvia divinorum''. Firoz was instead charged under a general Nebraskan statute where it is illegal to sell a product to induce an intoxicated condition. See also the [[Legal status of Salvia divinorum#North Dakota|legal status of salvia in North Dakota]] and [[Legal status of Salvia divinorum#Nebraska|Nebraska]].

''Salvia divinorum'' has been banned by various branches of the U.S. military and some military bases.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia_law.shtml |title=Erowid Salvia Divinorum Vault : Legal Status |publisher=Erowid.org |access-date=2011-05-01))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia_law3.pdf|title=Awareness Training On Salvia Divinorum|date=February 2004|website=Erowid.org|access-date=26 March 2022))</ref><ref>((cite web |author=Sheri Kangas |url=http://www2.hurlburt.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123068724 |title=Hallucinogenic Salvia illegal for military members |publisher=.hurlburt.af.mil |date=2007-09-19 |access-date=2011-05-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720112026/http://www2.hurlburt.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123068724 |archive-date=2011-07-20 ))</ref>

====Internet sale====
Some internet vendors will not sell live ''salvia'' cuttings, leaf, or leaf products to states where its use is restricted or prohibited.<ref name=Hoyle20080312>[[#refHoyle20080312|Hoyle 2008-03-12 (US Media)]].</ref> Per their drugs and drug paraphernelia policy, [[eBay]] does not permit sale of ''Salvia divinorum'' or derived products (despite legality in most areas).<ref>[[#refEBayPolicy2009|eBay Policy 2009]].</ref>

===Opinions and arguments===
((Main|Legal status of Salvia divinorum#Opinions and arguments))
Concerns expressed by some politicians on the subject of salvia reflect those of the media, with comparisons to LSD and particular focus on "[[For the children (politics)|protecting our children]]" being echoed;<ref name=Martell20070618/><ref>[[#refClark20070305|Clark 2007-03-05 (US Media)]].</ref><ref>[[#refReboletti2007Mar|Reboletti 2007 (Mar)]].</ref> and with legislative proposals following soon after news stories breaking.<ref name=Dujanovic20061127/><ref name=Chancellor20080314/><ref name=Dujanovic20061128>[[#refDujanovic20061128|Dujanovic 2006-11-28 (US Media)]].</ref><ref name=Sanchick20070215>[[#refSanchick20070215|Sanchick 2007-02-15 (US Media)]].</ref><ref>[[#refEckenrode20070308|Eckenrode 2007-03-08 (US Media)]].</ref>

Some arguments against salvia have been of a preventative nature, "We need to stop this before it gets to be a huge problem not after it gets to be a huge problem,"<ref name="KXMBTV20070131">[[#refKXMBTV20070131|KXMBTV 2007-01-31 (US Media)]].</ref> or of an imitative nature, "The Australians have clearly found a problem with it. There's obviously a risk in people taking it."<ref name=Worksop20051014/> Concerns about driving while under the influence of salvia have also been expressed.<ref>[[#refNBC1020060411|NBC10 2006-04-11 (US Media)]].</ref><ref>[[#refSmith20070925|Smith 2007-09-25 (US Media)]].</ref>

Opponents of more prohibitive measures against salvia argue that such reactions are largely due to an inherent prejudice and a particular cultural bias rather than any actual balance of evidence, pointing out inconsistencies in attitudes toward other more toxic and addictive drugs such as [[alcohol (drug)|alcohol]] and [[nicotine]].<ref>[[#refNutt2007|Nutt et al. 2007]].</ref>((#tag:ref|According to the National Institute on Money in State Politics, which indicates the major sources of campaign contributions for U.S. politicians, a large part of contributions to U.S. Congressional campaigns comes from alcohol and tobacco industries.<ref>[http://www.followthemoney.org/database/IndustryTotals.phtml?PHPSESSID=f986b516d7f425bdb038468d79c1d2eb&f=0&s=0&b%5B%5D=A1300&i%5B%5D=57&i%5B%5D=143 Follow The Money, Industry Influence].</ref>

For example, Oregon Representative [[John Lim]]"s third largest individual campaign sponsor in 2006 was the Oregon Beer & Wine Distributors Association<ref name=MiSP2006>[[#refMiSP2006|MiSP 2006]].</ref> Lim(R) argued for Schedule I classification of Salvia in Oregon.

Former Delaware Senator Karen Peterson's second largest group campaign donations in 2006 came from "Beer, Wine & Liquor" industries.<ref name=MiSP2006/> Peterson(D) introduced Schedule I classification of ''Salvia divinorum'' in Delaware.

Senator [[Tim Burchett]](R) sponsored Salvia legislation in Tennessee. In 2006, his second largest individual campaign donation came from the Tennessee Malt Beverage Association.<ref name=MiSP2006/>

In the same period alcohol and tobacco related contributions amounted to the fourth largest industry contributions for Utah Representative [[Paul Ray]](R).<ref name=MiSP2006/> Representative Ray submitted a bill calling for Schedule I classification of Salvia in that state.<ref name="Dujanovic20061128" />

Alcohol related contributions also featured highly for Illinois Representative [[Dennis Reboletti]](R) "Beer, Wine & Liquor" was his ninth highest industry contributor in 2006 and 2008.<ref name=MiSP2006/> Representative Reboletti sponsored a bill for Schedule I classification of Salvia divinorum in Illinois.<ref name="Reboletti2007JanFTp7">[[#refReboletti2007Jan|Reboletti 2007 (Jan)]], full text - p.7.</ref>|group=nb))((#tag:ref|The worldwide number of alcohol-related deaths is calculated at over 2,000 people per day,<ref>[[#refLopez2005|Lopez 2005]], Table 2.</ref> in the US the number is over 300 deaths per day.<ref>[[#refNIAAA2001|NIAAA 2001]].</ref>|group=nb)) While not objecting to some form of legal control, in particular with regard to the sale to minors or sale of enhanced high-strength extracts, most salvia proponents otherwise argue against stricter legislation.<ref name="SiebertLegalStatus" />

Those advocating consideration of ''Salvia divinorum''(('))s potential for beneficial use in a modern context argue that more could be learned from Mazatec culture, where salvia is not really associated with notions of drug taking at all and it is rather considered as a spiritual sacrament. In light of this it is argued that ''Salvia divinorum'' could be better understood more positively as an [[entheogen]] rather than pejoratively as a [[hallucinogen]].<ref name="BlosserLessons">[[#refBlosserLessons|Blosser (Mazatec Lessons)]].</ref>((#tag:ref|Other entheogenic plants with continuing traditions principally of spiritual use include [[peyote]] (and other psychoactive cacti), [[iboga]], [[virola]], [[ayahuasca]], and various types of psychoactive fungi.<ref name="OtherEntheogenicPlants">see [[peyote]], [[iboga]], [[virola]], [[ayahuasca]], etc.</ref> Current U.S. Federal law allows two of these to be used in a spiritual context. The [[Native American Church]] is permitted use of peyote; the [[União do Vegetal]] (or UDV) is permitted use of ayahuasca.<ref name="USLegislation">see [[Native American Church]] and [[União do Vegetal]].</ref> Although not consistently granted (varying from state to state), the principal grounds for such concessions are constitutional,<ref>[[#refMadison1789|Madison 1789]].</ref> with further grounds following from the [[Religious Freedom Restoration Act]].|group=nb))

====Public opinion====
Despite its growing notoriety in some circles, media stories generally suggest that the public at large are still mostly unaware of salvia, with the majority perhaps having never even heard of it.<ref name="Anderson20060413">[[#refAnderson20060413|Anderson 2006-04-13 (US Media)]].</ref>

Although published responses may not necessarily be representative of public opinion as a whole, some news agencies generally support reader and viewer feedback in connection with their stories.<ref name=Cardall20061128 /><ref name=Martell20070618 /><ref name=Chancellor20080314 /><ref name=Anderson20060413 /><ref name=Tompkins20070713>[[#refTompkins20070713|Tompkins 2007-07-13 (US Media)]].</ref>

He doled out forty pairs to me, rolled them into a long wad, rather like a salad rolled into a cigar. He explained that after he said the invoking prayers and we stated aloud our intentions, I was to eat the leaves. I was told not to hesitate at their bitterness, not to stop until I had eaten them all.

|quote=However, when smoked (in a manner similar to free base cocaine), the compound is effective in doses of 200–500 μg and produces visions that last from 30 min to an hour or two, while doses over 2 mg are effective for much longer. At doses greater than 500 μg the subject is often no longer aware of their surroundings and may enter an uncontrollable delirium. This compound is the most potent naturally occurring hallucinogen thus far isolated.
