What is Salvia Divinorum?
Salvia Divinorum is one out of over a thousand species of sage. However, besides salvia divinorum, there are no other species of sage that would be considered as vision inducing. Salvia is one plant of a very big group of plants (Labiatae) and there are a lot of mint plants in the group. Salvia divinorum is also a great plant to have inside your house to keep the place decorated to meet your standards. A lot of people grow salvia just to spice up their home décor but the majority of salvia plant growers are growing it due to the interest they have in the psychoactive effects that it holds.
Salvia as a Drug
Most people use salvia plants to get high. The high that you get from salvia divinorum will differ severely from the high that you would get from alcohol but there are some similarities. Just like alcoholic beverages, salvia can impair your hand eye coordination and proper decision making. You will have to make sure that you never drive while you are using salvia because it could be very dangerous as you can become impaired from salvia.
Even though salvia is a serious drug and using it can be dangerous, it is a lot safer than most drugs. It is not a narcotic and not really addictive. Most users will only opt to using the drug once and a while and there are not really any cravings for it but rather just people choosing to feel that high once and a while. As long as it is used with common sense, there will not be any fatal consequences that will follow.
