I had never heard of the drug before.

I read it as saliva, initially.

I’m sure most of the Ron Paul potheads have.

Sally D. Don't worry...the high sucks. Most people won't try it more than once.

If you think this is bad, don't google 'Jenkem'.

Is this the same salvia plant you can buy at any garden center, including Walmart and online nurseries?

No known deaths have been attributed to salvia's use, but it was listed as a factor in one Delaware teen's suicide two years ago.

Well shoot, if that's their rationale for criminalising something - it was a "factor" in some kid's suicide (which probably had a lot of other "factors" contributing to it as well) - then they might as well ban Dungeons and Dragons while they're at it.

According to reports, the autopsy found no traces of the drug in his system, but the medical examiner listed it as a contributing cause.

Does this not alarm anyone else???

Sage wisdom?

I smoked it before. It’s effects are FAR FAR stronger than marijuana. It is more like an extremely potent hallucinogen. It is actually a very scary intoxicant-—it produces a very strong “trip” that is not pleasant or fun.

I’ll just stick with Datura.

I heard this argument 20 years ago. The answer would seem to be NO. If it was the next marijuana, potheads would have figured it out 40 years ago.

Banana Peels anyone?

Saliva?

There’s that much of a kick in swapping spit?

[beltfed308]

D@mnded do-gooders. While their at it they should ban cow poop. After all that is where magic mushrooms come from. It's for the children.

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.

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 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.

"As soon as we make one drug illegal, kids start looking around for other drugs they can buy legally.

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!

[redhead]

Well, shoot. Salvia is a beautiful bedding plant in gardens. What a shame.
