1Department of Psychiatry, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon.
Background And Objective:
Recreational use of salvia divinorum (salvia), a potent, naturally occurring hallucinogen, is on the rise internationally. Despite the paucity of information about its long-term health effects, salvia is readily available and generally portrayed as a safe non-addictive substance.
Methods And Results:
We report on two patients who presented with an enduring and pervasive pattern of salvia use.
Discussion And Conclusions:
Evaluating patients for salvia use during clinical assessment is strongly encouraged, especially among young polysubstance users.
Scientific Significance:
Clinicians should be mindful of the multifaceted psychiatric effects of salvia, including the potential for a use disorder. (Am J Addict 2018;27:163-165).
