Salvia divinorum is a hallucinogenic herb belonging to the mint family (family: Lamiaceae / Labiatae). It is indigenous to certain areas of the mountainous Sierra Mazateca region located in the northern part of Oaxaca (Oaxaca is a state in Mexico). Salvia divinorum is a perennial plant with hollow stems, green leaves, white-colored flowers with calyces of purple color, and can attain a height of over three feet.
