Is Salvia Divinorum considered as any type of Salvia plant?

Question

i got a salvia plant at walmart today, and was wondering if salvia divinorum was just generally all salvia plants. it has purple flowers and the leaves have a pretty bad smell, i ddint realize what it was until after i bought it.

Answer 1

http://www.Salvia.md has the most potent salvia I've ever tried! They also have a ton of info on the subject. Check it.

Answer 2

It sounds like Salvia farinacea or Salvia pratensis or another of the ornamental salvias. Salvia divinorum has creamy flowers with a purply base and square stems, it's not that distinctive but with the amount of attention it's received from the media I highly doubt WalMart would sell it. The Salvia genus itself is rather potent, different plants are used as medicines and herbs, sage is a member of this group, but, as far as I know, divinorum is the only hallucinogen.
