These " man - made " or anthropogenic plants are , for the most ___MASK77___ , plants of ___MASK21___ that are used in horticulture , agriculture and forestry . Because cultigens are defined by their mode of origin and not by where they are growing , plants meeting this definition remain cultigens whether they are naturalised in the wild , deliberately planted in the wild , or growing in cultivation . Cultigens arise in the following ways : selections of variants from the wild or cultivation including vegetative sports ( aberrant growth that can be reproduced reliably in cultivation ); plants that are the result of plant breeding and selection programs ; genetically modified plants ( plants modified by the deliberate implantation of genetic material ); and graft - chimaeras ( plants grafted to produce mixed tissue , the graft material possibly from wild plants , special selections , or hybrids ). Salvinorins are a group of natural chemical compounds and their structural analogs . Several salvinorins have been isolated from Salvia divinorum . They are classified as diterpenoid furanolactones . Salvinorin A is a hallucinogen with dissociative effects . Several salvinorins have been isolated and characterized . Mexico (, modern ___MASK84___ ), officially the United Mexican States , is a federal ___MASK60___ in the southern half of North America . It is bordered to the north by the United States ; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean ; to the southeast by Guatemala , Belize , and the Caribbean ___MASK20___ ; and to the east by the Gulf of Mexico .

Dissociatives are a ___MASK46___ of hallucinogen , which distort perceptions of ___MASK88___ and ___MASK65___ and produce feelings of detachment  dissociation  from the environment and self . This is done through reducing or blocking signals to the conscious mind from other parts of the brain . Although many kinds of drugs are capable of such action , dissociatives are unique in that they do so in such a way that they produce hallucinogenic effects , which may include sensory deprivation , dissociation , hallucinations , and dream - like states or trances . Some , which are nonselective in action and affect the dopamine and / or opioid systems , may be capable of inducing euphoria . Many dissociatives have general depressant effects and can produce sedation , respiratory depression , analgesia , anesthesia , and ataxia , as well as cognitive and memory impairment and amnesia . Salvia divinorum ( also known as sage of the diviners , ___MASK90___ maría pastora , seer ' s sage , yerba de la pastora and just salvia ) is a psychoactive plant which can induce visions and other altered and spiritual experiences .

The plant grows to over a meter high , has hollow square stems , large leaves , and occasional white flowers with violet calyxes . Botanists have not determined whether " Salvia divinorum " is a cultigen or a ___MASK47___ ; native plants reproduce vegetatively , rarely producing viable seed . An entheogen , meaning " generating the divine within " is any ___MASK32___ used in a mystical , religious , shamanic , or spiritual context with the intention to induce psychological or physiological changes .
