Like the folks at Random Good Stuff, we're surprised to find out that there is a popular hallucinogen that is legal in most states. But Salvia Divinorum is purportedly the stuff. Below is a documentary, showing some users explaining the effects of the plant, and more info after the jump.



Via Wikipedia: "Salvia divinorum has a long continuing tradition of use as an entheogen by indigenous Mazatecshamans, who use it to facilitate visionary states of consciousness during spiritual healing sessions.... Salvia divinorum can be chewed or smoked to produce experiences ranging from uncontrollable laughter to much more intense and profoundly altered states.

"The duration is much shorter than for some other more well known psychedelics; the effects of smoked salvia typically last for only a few minutes. The most commonly reported after-effects include an increased feeling of insight and improved mood, and a sense of calmness and increased sense of connection with nature -- though much less often it may also cause dysphoria (unpleasant or uncomfortable mood)."

Below are a few vids (via Random Good Stuff) that illustrate the salvia high.
