Salvinorin A is a potent, naturally occurring psychedelic that primarily acts as a Kappa-opioid receptor agonist. It differs from classical psychedelics due to its unique mechanism of action without direct effects on serotonin receptors. The substance is derived from the plant Salvia divinorum and can induce intense, short-lasting alterations in consciousness. Due to its strong effects and potential psychological burden, a moderate risk profile is assumed.
