What amazes me is that some bright young genetic engineer hasn’t built into a common plant/microbe the ability to produce these drugs. Say, common blue grass that makes meth, or a rose that can make LSD.

Oh, OK. I guess I'll just stick to huffing keyboard cleaner.
;-)<----better put that there or someone's bound to take that seriously.
I propose an experiment. I say we do not criminalize this new plant and see how it plays out. We can compare the cost and societal impact with the current marijuana system to see what the right way to run things it.
I’ll stick with San Pedro cactus.
There are at least 9 varieties of salvia listed in my Native Plants of Texas book. Wonder if there is any connection.
Saying walcrap has a garden center is similar to saying Zimbabwe has a space program.
Tried it once several years ago. Had an interesting and dynamic experience rehearsing an orchestra, hehehe.
You haven’t lived until you try it and conduct Wagner’s “Prelude to Act III of ‘Lohengrin’”.
How about some peanut skins?
I tried it once yrs ago-just got light headed-later a massive headache.The stuff sold now is a concentrated form.A co-worker recently tried the “new” form he purchsed at a headshop in Ybor City,and said it was the worst trip he’s ever had.Totally lost his sense of reality.It took his gfriend and two neighbors to get him down on the floor after he tried to run through a closed sliding glass door.Said he had to escape???Other than that,doesn’t recall a thing.Doesn’t sound like a fun trip.
So what they are saying is the WAR ON DRUGS is NOT working! It have has worked and it never will work. It's nothing more than a way to keep a revenue stream from drying up that almost every governmnet agency is hooked on!
Other then that you smoke it, salvia’s not anything like marijuana. It creates an intense hallucinogenic experience that last for all of 5-10 minutes, and then the effect goes away almost as quickly as it came.
"Salvia officinalis" is most commonly referred to as "sage" and I don't think the DEA is about to bust into every kitchen to ransack the spice rack.
Don’t be a snob - Wal-Mart has perfectly good hanging baskets at a very decent price, the most common vegetable plants, flats of pansies, etc. If you want anything exotic, such as Russian fingerling potatoes, you’ll have to order them online as I did. If Kennebec is good enough, Wal-Mart has apparently healthy ones. I say “apparently” because I won’t waste space on Kennebec, but they looked okay through the netting.
Did anyone ever actually try "Oregano sprayed with Raid?" That was one of the legends of my misspent youth, but even in those days I knew better than to smoke insecticide.
Yeah it kind of does. On what basis does this medical examiner make this judgment if the substance wasn't even present. For all he knows the kid could have ODd on Twinkies.
It seems like the doctor in question was trying to find a convenient, politically tractable reason for the kid’s suicide.
“He sometimes smoked drugs, egad that explains everything!”
Took my kid to visit the Univ. Of South Florida last year. After the campus tour they give you a bag with some marketing brochures. In one of the USF brochures was an ad for a head shop that listed Salvia as one of their attractive products. I had never heard of this drug until then. I couldn’t believe that a major University would have a ad from a head shop in their brochure. Needless to say, my daughter did not attend there. Didn’t even apply.
