i was looking to see if i could find out if there is dmt in salvia and found this....sounds like a cool job

"Currently, Dennis McKenna is working with the Heffter Organization (http://www.heffter.org) on several projects. He will be working to find out if the actual isolate of Salvia divinorum, Salvinorin-A, is neurotoxic (as some have feared), or neuroprotective (as many now are thinking). He has been working with the UDV, in Brazil, to help identify any long-term side-effects (positive or negative) of chronic Ayahuasca use. And, he is continuing to search for more psychoactive drugs, for therapeutic and mental exploratory uses."

but i found out that
the chemical that makes you trip is salvinorin...NOT DMT

here generally what i found out in small points.
-1982 the chemical salvinorin was isolated from the plant in Mexico.

-2 years later they found the same chemical in america along with its "desacetyl derivative"(<--WTF??)â??naming these divinorum A and divinorum B. the guy who isolated they got name priority and called them salvinorin A and salvinorin B

-he later discovered Salvinorin C

-Later experiments by Jonathan Ott noted a 100 microgram threshold dose of salvinorin A and that there was definite psychoactivity

-B and C to this day have never been properly tested on humans...but it is speculated that salvinorin Câ??which appears in the plant at only about 10% the amount of salvinorin Aâ??may be even more potent

-B is speculated to be inactive....
