Among 47 heavy drug users hospitalized for detoxification in Lebanon, 66% reported using salvia. The drug's effects began and ended within 15 minutes. Compared to non-users, salvia users scored higher on perception but lower on intensity and volition subscales of the Hallucinogen Rating Scale; no differences emerged on affect, cognition, or somaesthesia. Salvia use was linked to perceptual changes and hallucinogenic experiences.
