'''Salvinorin A''' is the main active psychoactive molecule within [[Salvia divinorum (botany)|~~Salvia~~ divinorum]], a Mexican plant which has a long history of use as an [[entheogen]] by indigenous Mazatec shamans. It is structurally distinct from other naturally occurring [[hallucinogens]] (such as [[DMT]], [[psilocin]] and [[mescaline]]) because it contains no nitrogen atoms; hence, it is a [[Chemical class::terpenoid]] and not an alkaloid and cannot be rendered as a salt.

It also differs in subjective experience compared to other [[Psychoactive class::hallucinogen]]s, and has been described as an atypical [[dissociative]] although this formal classification is debatable.
