Technically someone on a salvia trip would make a bad driver, but that's assuming they could get into a car and start it in the first place.
From my observation, that's pretty much never going to happen unless one is actually smoking the stuff while driving, which seems very unlikely. The more likely scenario is that the user is too busy swimming in a river of Lego blocks or collapsing like a black hole to even remember that they HAVE a car, let alone getting in the thing and trying to drive somewhere.
I read a story in GQ by a reporter who investigated Salvia. he went to Mexico where it originates. Down there it was considered part of a spiritual sacrament, and he actually had some trouble finding someone willing to administer it to him. Oddly, the same region produces “magic mushrooms” and the locals had been shocked when those first gained attention because they considered the mushrooms far inferior to Salvia.
The writer continued to use it when he returned to the US, but began to have some terrifying experiences that convinced him the drug was not something to be used casually.
When I had first read the online articles about the drug it seemed fairly harmless. But after reading that article I became convinced that it is a very dangerous drug and that the way it is promoted makes it even more dangerous.
And I am far from a fan of the War on Drugs.
Jimsonweed is much more hallucinogenic then Silvia and lasts for hours.
Back in the 60s they gave it to 100 serious heads as a test. None of them would ever do it again.
Both are non-issues. Recreational drugs need to be at least somewhat fun before anybody wants anything to do with them. Tweak and coke are still a mysteries to me. If I want to be irritated and on edge I just watch the TV news without smoking pot first.

Heard of this one a few weeks ago, very scary.
