Salvia divinorum
whoah no way, I had to look that up, because I know we have some kind of salvia growing in our planter, it came with the house! And it's that one!
Pretty blue flowers. Smells awful, though. How is it used? As a tea or something? I might look that up sometime.
Oh in large doses it is very intense. Powerful stuff. Most commonly the extract (available in different strengths 5x, 10x, 15x, ...) is smoked. This guy makes a great tincture: http://sagewisdombotanicals.com/
I was smoking very small amounts in the morning, just enough to get my heart rate up really. Made my days brighter when I was down. I got a very precision scale to try to measure doses, but they were so light I ended up just estimating a couple flakes.
Interesting plant, only found naturally on one place on the planet. There are some videos on the net of people taking a large dose and freaking out, one dude jumped out a window. Use respectively :)
Yeah, I just read up on it and you sound spot on. Too much will break your brain! Blog I looked at said no more than six leaves, and that sounds like A LOT, probably, but I guess he meant as a total maximum. Or his leaves are smaller than ours. Or that is just the right amount, but I'd err on the side of ... just the very least amount. Or not do it at all and continue to appreciate the pretty blue flowers.
