A trip sitter is recommended with this substance that often is smoked in heavy doses. Short-acting intense trips may cause mental and physical side effects days after the hit has been taken.

The overwhelming effects often require post-processing. It may take 2 days before physical side effects become noticeable, like shift in hearing. Using additional substances without a break (2 days + a few days to recover if you notice any side effects) increases the risk to get a bad post-trip.

Salvia divinorum (also called Diviner's Sage, Ska María Pastora, Seer's Sage, and Salvia) is a psychoactive plant in the Salvia genus. Its native habitat is within Cloud Forest in the isolated Sierra Mazateca of Oaxaca, Mexico where it grows in shady and moist locations. The plant grows to over a meter high and has hollow square stems, large leaves, and occasional white flowers with violet calyxes. The main psychoactive compound in the plant is Salvinorin A, which can also be found in lower quantities in Salvia recognita and Salvia glutinosa.

A 2019 large-scale study found that ketamine, Salvia divinorum, and DMT (and other classical psychedelic substances) are linked to near-death experiences.[1]

People

Daniel Siebert has studied Salvia divinorum for over twenty years and was the first person to unequivocally identify (by human bioassays in 1993[2]) Salvinorin A as the primary psychoactive substance of Salvia divinorum.[3]
