Daniel Siebert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel J. Siebert is an ethnobotanist, pharmacognosist and author who lives in Malibu, California.[1]

Siebert has studied Salvia divinorum for over twenty years and was the first person to identify Salvinorin A as the psychoactive principal of Salvia divinorum.[1] In 1998, Siebert appeared in the documentary Sacred Weeds shown in the United Kingdom.[1] He has discussed Salvia divinorum on National Public Radio, Fox News, CNN, Telemundo and his comments have been appeared in the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and The New York Times.[1]

In 2002, Siebert wrote a letter to the United States Congress in which he objected to bill H.R. 5607 introduced by Rep. Joe Baca (D-California) which sought to place Salvia divinorum in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.[2]

In 2007, he anticipates the publication of his book Divine Sage, a thorough analysis of Salvia divinorum.[3]
