Salvia divinorum is a plant whose active ingredient is salvinorin A.
It is different from ornamental salvias, sage, and chia. Very little scientific research has examined salvia, and its effects may be difficult to predict. This uncertainty means it is not responsible to make a firm claim about whether you or someone you love has an addiction based only on salvia use. A thoughtful assessment can instead focus on actual patterns, consequences, distress, and current safety.
