    Can you imagine waking up at 3am and remembering how you said “Salvia” instead of “saliva” in your dissertation?! And it’s been 10 years since, but you KNEW you just outed your habits to the whole audience and your professors?!

    Edit: Death is a sweet release you never have to remember, not like the above.

      I think most people just think of Sage in general when they hear salvia.

      I’ve a dozen perfectly innocent salvia species and many varietals of each growing in my water-wise garden. When people ask what I’ve got growing and I say “mainly salvias” no one has ever assumed I was farming psychedelics.

        I disagree, but this may say more about me than other people. Unless you’re a gardener or botonist, sage = sage and salvia = salvia divinorum.
