Is salvia just sage.....like the sage you spice your food with?

from what i've heard it is sage.. but the word sage implies someone with prophetic vision, and i'm tellin you, salvia gives prophetic vision, or an aproximation anyway. the stronger stuff makes you think that you aren't even inside your own body, but someone is, and you can see them moving your hands. that's about the only part of you you can move at a high dose of high quality salvia mind...

Reply:Salvia is a genus of plants, sage being a member. Common usage of the word salvia usually means a decorative variety rather than those grown as herbs.
