Salvia Divinorum is a plant, that produces extremely intense dissassociative/psychedellic experiences when consumed - particularly when smoked. Its active chemical is a kappa opiod agonist. Kappa agonists are known to induce dysphoria and psychotic-like states. Some people find the experiences with this plant very enlightening and mind-opening, but from what I understand - it can be a very frightening, disturbing experience as well.

If you have mental health issues, it is probably not something you'd want to mess around with.
