Is this a Salvia species???

This may not be the right forum but i wanted as many opinions as possible,so could this be a species of salvia? & if so is it only S.divinorum that has hallucinogenic properties?
cheers.

surely someone has some idea?

may help if you knew the name of the plant

If i knew what plant it was i wouldnt of had to start a thread asking what it was would i?

No that is not of any consequence. Salvia divinorum and possible Salvia melissidora are the only to plants on earth that contain salvinorins (a and b), that man knows of. Tha unfortunately is neither. I have rooted cuttings of a Hoffman/Wasson strain.

Ok so its not what i was hopin for but does anyone know what it is specifically?

Na, looks like a Persicaria species to me mate (Most probably Persicaria virginiana) ... Salvia have square stems, I'd venture to guess that the plant in your pictures has a rounded stem. Not Salvia

P.s - Yes, Salvia d. is the only Salvia with the trippy quality. There are a lot of plants that can be used to provide various stimulus, google it, there are books out there that have info on plants and their uses - including edible, medicinal and recreational.

Yeh i do know of a few that grow locally that have similar uses that have been used for 1000s of years in my culture,but ive been interested in salvia for some time now & i aint quitin till i find/grow some.

You can buy cuttings of it online. It's not illegal to grow in most countries (I think? lol) ... Do a search for suppliers on google. I know I can order cuttings of it in my country ... It's supposed to be a little hard to grow than most other Salvia species, but still not that hard to grow haha.

you wont find it growing it doesnt grow in the wild. but like other people said you can order cuttings online.

wow, i have a huge plant like these in my yard? i thought my mom called it a butterfly bush but she knows who i am lol(a stoner) so mayeb shes lieing. would this be growing n my ard? and it comes up every year if that helps

Yeh this plant keeps comin up too and it just hit me one day that it resembles salvia,cant bloody remember wat the flower looks like though.

Well this thing is flowering now and i still dunno what it is, i was hoping it may trigger someone out there?
It's a beautiful looking plant regardless but i really wanna know its name! Im guessing its not native though.
Cheers.
