Salvia Divinorum

What is Salvia divinorum?

Salvia divinorum, also known as Ska Maria Pastora or “sage of the diviners”, is a psychedelic plant that is native to the cloud forests of the Sierra Mazateca in Oaxaca, Mexico. The primary active ingredient of Salvia divinorum is Salvinorin A, a potent natural hallucinogen. This is a very unique psychedelic molecule, because it is not an alkaloid (like psilocybin – the active ingredient of magic mushrooms and magic truffles), but a diterpene. Diterpenes are a class of chemicals that are found in different plants, herbs, and spices. Because of the high potency of Salvinorin A, and its high presence in the Salvia plant, Salvia divinorum is sometimes referred to as the strongest natural psychedelic. 

Salvinorin A acts on opioid receptors, particularly the kappa opioid receptor subtype. This is very untypical for a psychedelic substance because most of them (like LSD or psilocybin), work on the serotonin (5-HT) system, specifically the 5-HT2A receptor. The kappa opioid receptor is involved in different functions, such as mood, motor control, consciousness, and perception. By binding to this receptor, Salvia divinorum / Salvinorin A induces its effects, which include altered perception, hallucinations, and detachment from reality. Still, the mechanism by which this works is not completely understood – mainly because usually, substances that act on opioid receptors (opioids and opiates) are used as painkillers and do not have psychedelic effects. However, because of the effects it induces, Salvia divinorum is not classified as an opioid, but as a psychedelic. 

Salvia divinorum is usually smoked, which means that Salvinorin A reaches the brain very quickly, so the effects set on very quickly and are rather short. However, as time can feel very different on this natural psychedelic, a 15-minute trip can feel like an eternity. 

Despite its very potent psychedelic properties, Salvia divinorum is considered to be of relatively low toxicity and non-addictive. However, it should only be used under supervision and with caution, as well as treated with respect. 

Indigenous Use of Salvia divinorum 

The use of Salvia divinorum leaves or Salvia divinorum extract has a rich history in traditional spiritual and medicinal practices by indigenous Mazatec people in its native habitat of Sierra Mazateca in Oaxaca, Mexico. 

Traditionally, Mazatec shamans use the plant for spiritual healing sessions and for divination purposes. Salvia divinorum leaves are considered sacred and used in rituals to induce a visionary state of consciousness. 

In Salvia Rituals, Mazatec shamans or the person ingesting the plants enters a visionary state, which allows traveling through the unconscious mind, perceiving a different reality, or communicating with divine spirits. 

Because of its rich history, it is important to treat this psychedelic plant with respect – This is not a drug you merely take for fun, but to open up your mind and experience a different level of consciousness. Its use is a journey into the depths of your psyche and can offer transformative insights and perspectives. Please always approach Salvia Divinorum leaves or Salvia Divinorum extract with the respect it deserves, acknowledging its cultural and historical impact. 

How to grow grow Salvia divinorum 

Salvia divinorum plants grow in shady and humid conditions in moist and high-altitude regions and are often found in the bottom layer of the forest. It is very difficult to grow Salvia plants outside of their natural habitat because they require specific conditions to thrive (humid environment with indirect sunlight or low-level lighting conditions). Salvia does not really grow from seeds, because the plant rarely produces them, and if you manage to obtain some Salvia divinorum seeds, it is unlikely that they germinate and grow into new plants. In its natural habitat, the plant primarily reproduces by growing new plants from parts of existing ones, a process called “layering”. Therefore, Salvia divinorum is usually cultivated through cuttings rather than seeds. However, this is a very complicated process and especially in Europe, growing Salvia yourself is extremely difficult. Luckily, Salvia is legal in most European countries, and you can buy Salvia divinorum leaves and Salvia divinorum extracts in Sirius’ online Smartshop.
