*'''''Salvia Recognita''''' (also known as '''Turkish Cliff Sage''') is a psychoactive plant which is 10 times less potent than its relative ''Salvia Divinorum''. Its native habitat is at the base of cliffs in the central Turkey, where it grows in light shade at elevations of 4,000 feet. The plant grows up to a meter high and leafs that span from 3-4 inches to nearly 1 foot long, and occasional white flowers with many whorls of widely spaced flowers.

*'''''Salvia Glutinosa''''' (also known as '''Jupiter's Sage''') is a psychoactive plant which is far less potent than Salvia Recognita. Its native habitat is in forested areas located around Central and East Europe and West Asia, where it grows in partial shade in calcareous soils, at elevations of 330 - 5,250 feet (100 - 1,600 metres) ~~adobe~~ sea level. The plant grows up to a 16-24 inches (40 - 60 cm) tall and hairy leafs that span from 5.1 inches (13 cm) inches with petioles of about 3.1 - 3.9 inches ( 8 - 8 centimetres), and occasional white flowers with many whorls of widely spaced flowers.

==Classification==

Currently, the scientific literature classifies salvinorin A as a [[hallucinogen]]. However, there is additional debate as to whether it can correctly be labeled as a [[dissociative]] or an atypical dissociative with some [[psychedelic]] and even [[deliriant|delirious]] qualities.{{citation needed}}

Although salvia shares states of hallucinatory structures and out-of-body experiences commonly reported with typical dissociatives ([[NMDA receptor antagonist]]s), this is arguably not sufficient so that it falls under the same classification. For example, the hallucinatory structures (although similar) are vastly different in their style and complexity. Alongside of this, the out-of-body experiences commonly reported with dissociatives are presumed to be triggered by the way in which NMDA receptor antagonists block signals to the conscious mind from other parts of the brain. This is accompanied by a distinctive feeling of dissociation, disconnection and detachment which is not present on salvia as it works on an entirely different set of receptors, the function of which in the human brain is almost entirely unknown.{{citation needed}}

The effects of salvia have a subjectively unique style and pharmacology that is not found within any other category of [[hallucinogen]], this has led many within the [[psychonaut]] community assert that it deserves recognition for falling into an entirely new class of its own. Any compound within this subjective and pharmacological class could potentially be referred to as a "salviagenic". This would also include various other similar analogues such as [[Salvinorin B methoxymethyl ether|Salvinorin B]] and many others.<ref>{{Citation | title=Salvinorin Analogues; Beyond Salvinorin A - Salvia Divinorum - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus | url=https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=4823}}</ref>
