According to friends who were present, Miley was toking a herb called Salvia divinorum (commonly called Salvia, Diviner's Sage, Ska María Pastora or Seer's Sage) - in California (and many other states) it is a legal herbal hallucinogenic.

It should be noted that in spite of Miley's attempt to appear that this was her first experience with inhaling smoke - her ability to hold the smoke in her lungs and lack of coughing fit - say otherwise.

Salvia divinorum is native to the Sierra Mazateca in Oaxaca, Mexico. Most of the plant's common names allude to the Mazatec belief that the plant is an incarnation of the Virgin Mary, Mazatec shamans use it to facilitate visionary states of consciousness during spiritual healing sessions.

When smoked, the effects are experienced quickly, peaking within a minute and lasting up to 8 minutes - followed by a gradual tapering off, within 15 to 20 minutes. It causes "visions", impairs coordination and temporarily effects the users ability to speak clearly.
