It grows to well over a meter in height. It has hollow square stems, large green leaves, and occasional white flowers with purple bracts. Botanists have not determined whether it is a cultigen or a hybrid. Its primary psychoactive constituent is a diterpenoid known as salvinorin which is a potent κ-opioid receptor agonist. Salvinorin
