Diviner’s sage, translated from the latin meaning sage or mint and divinorum meaning of the diviner or prophet, has been used for thousands of years in some Mexican tribes as a shamanic healing tool. The salvia plant, when smoked or eaten, has a short lived psychedelic effect, however the experience is often described as decidedly not a recreational trip.
There has been a recent upsurge in interest in this magical mint, as well as some accompanying legal fervor, but the plant remains completely legal to possess and ingest in the United States where it is beginning to build a rather large base of enthusiasts.
The main reason for its legality is the fact that it is generally unheard of in mainstream media and because of this is not becoming a party drug favored by young hedonists. Sage users tend to be of the more introspective and intellectual types who are interested in the plant for spiritual and anthropological reasons.
