There are various salvia plants. A little group of shrinks and psychologists at a state hospital I once worked at spoke with awe of the psychedelic one. It’s not the herb in the mexican stores.

Not the same thing you are thinking. What you saw in the supermarket was just sage. You are thinking of salvia divinorum.

It was labeled salvia.
I haven’t seen it in a while.
I am pretty sure it is harmless to ingest.
Just don’t smoke it.

“Salvia” is just the genus. It means sage. What you saw is a harmless herb, not salvia divinorum, the psychoactive monster plant.

Why do people get drunk? The urge to alter one's mental state is as old as mankind.

Why do governments incentivize the creation and ingestion of dangerous new mind-altering chemicals by banning existing less dangerous ones (e.g., marijuana)?
