is life, I have given green herb....and it was so.” —Genesis

WARNING: Some medicinal and psychoactive plants may
be harmful to your health. Some are more dangerous than
others. Some are safer than others. Each person will react
differently to each substance. Readers are advised to consult
with a medical professional prior to ingesting any plant or
psychoactive substance. Further, readers are advised that they
use such substances entirely at their own risk. The author and
the publisher of this book disclaim any and all liability for any
adverse effects, including but not limited to death resulting
from the use of any plant or other substance that is discussed
herein.
Salvia and Drug ‘] esting
Salvia cannot be detected by any current drug tests. It is
unlikely that a test can or will be developed for this. Since
little or no known testing has been done on this, the current
detection period for Salvia divinorum metabolites in urine is
unknown. Salvia divinorum is not an illegal plant and its
metabolites are not restricted as of the publishing of this book.
The presence of Salvia divinorum metabolites should not be of
any concern even if testing is possible; however driving or
operation of heavy machinery while intoxicated on any mind
altering substance is illegal. There are incidences of people
being charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence) when
all they had taken was Kava Kava or other common health
foods or other nonscheduled substances. Needless to say
common sense should dictate that one does not drive or
operate heavy machinery while under the influence of a strong
psychotropic substance such as Salvia divinorum.
