About this document
Salvia Divinorum: Botany and Use by Contrain Formante CR is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the botany, ethnobotany, and cultivation of Salvia divinorum, a plant used by Mazatec shamans for divination. It notes that the plant was originally misidentified as having blue flowers, but is actually white. While thought to be a cultigen, some evidence suggests it may grow wild. Mazatecs traditionally chew or make infusions of the leaves for visionary effects. Dosages reported vary widely from 6 to 240 leaves. The plant is now widely cultivated.
