Does salvia have THC in it?
No. The active chemical in Salvia Divinorum is Salvinorin-A. This natural chemical affects the central nervous system’s opioid receptors rather than the serotonin receptors, which are the target of common hallucinogens. Because of the unparalleled molecular structure of Salvinorin-A, the effects on the human mind differ greatly from that of other hallucinogens. Salvia is also very different from most drugs because it is non-toxic and non-addictive. The National Institutes of Health believe that Salvinorin-A may have a potential in psychotherapy, treating diseases that may cause perceptual distortions, such as schizophrenia, dementia, and bipolar disorders.
