The presentation will review the rising popularity and spread of Salvia divinorum, from its origins in religious ceremonies to its current status as a potent recreational hallucinogenic drug.  The intense dissociative effects of the drug will be described, the consequences of long term use, and its forensic significance considered. The presentation will also assess the efforts by various jurisdictions to schedule and outlaw the drug, and will present approaches to chemical and toxicological analysis of its active ingredients and metabolites, Salvinorins A and B.
