I picked this off of the DEA web site, apairently there was some concern with this plant. I do agree with the statment to a point, yet i am a salvia owner. and I like to grow plants. but hay its all just thoughts..
Any remarks to the post are all cool, I do appreciate the responses.
Salvia Divinorum, ska Maria Pastora, Salvia
(Salvinorin A, Divinorin A)
Introduction
Salvia Divinorum is a perenial herb in the mint family native to certain areas of the Sierra Mazateca region of Oaxaca, Mexico. It is one of 500 species of Salvia in the New World is in similar to the sage plant. The plant grows in large groupings to well over 3 feet in height. It?s large green leaves, hollow square stems and flowers are it's characteristic features. S. Divinorum is one of several vision-inducing plants employed by the Mazatec Indians
Licit Uses
There has been a growing interest among young adults and adolescents to re-discover ethnobotanical plants that can induce changes in perception, hallucinations, or other psychologically-inducing changes. Since Salvia Divinorum is not specifically listed in the Controlled Substances Act, many on-line botanical companies and drug promotional sites have advertised Salvia as a legal alternative to other plant hallucinogens like mescaline. The plant material is smoked for the induction of "mystical" or hallucinogenic experiences.
Chemistry/Pharmacology
"Salvinorin A" is most effective when vaporized and inhaled. Chemically, Salvinorin A is a neoclerodane diterpene, a psychotropic terpeniod. The grouping of psychoactive plants containing terpenoid essentials includes Salvia Divinorum, Wormwood (Absinth), and Cannabis Sativa (tetrahydrocannabinols, THC). Divinorin A was characterized by Valdes et al., in 1984, however Ortega et al., had previously characterized the same substance and called it Salvinorin A and thus, out of convention, the psychoactive substance should be called Salvinorin A.
Illicit Uses
Salvia is being smoked to induce hallucinations similar THC. It is being widely touted on internet sites aimed at young adults and adolescents eager to experiment with these types of substances.
User Population
The user populations, thus far, seems limited to younger adults and adolescents influenced by the promotion of the drug on internet sites
Illicit distributed
Salvia Divinorum is grown domestically and imported from Mexico, and Central and South America.
Control status
Salvia Divinorum, Salvinorin A, and Divinorin A are not listed in the Controlled Substances Act. If sold for human consumption, Salvia may be subject to control under the Analogue statutes because of its functional pharmacological similarities to other CI hallucinogens like THC.
