anyone ever heard of/ tried SALVIA?
saw this on G4TV underground last night. smokes like pot and has a high like LSD?
pulled this from google: “Magic mint”, or Salvia divinorum, is a dangerous new drug that’s being sold on the internet, and as of right now it is legal for people to buy. Teens nationwide have been uploading videos of themselves smoking and suffering from the dangerous affects of this lethal new drug, on Youtube. Health officials warn that this drug has the same somatic effect as ‘pot’ (marijuana) and feels like LSD (a very dangerous drug that causes severe addiction and hallucinations). Like most dirty, harmful things that sneak into America, this Salvia takes its origins in Mexico. Kids are taking to the internet in droves to find this herb, so they may smoke and chew it up to become possessed by its ill-affects. Even if you monitor your child’s internet access, as you’ll see kids as young as eleven have experimented with this drug and are suffering the disastrous consequences. It is even available in hedge shops here in the bay area, being sold by names such as Purple Sticky Salvia for only $20. It’s tragic to think that the 20 bucks you loan to your son or daughter for a ‘trip to the mall” may actually be going on a drug that will lead them to a life of prostitution, disease and death. Granted that it mimics weed and LSD, this drug must be very dangerous. Even though 13 states have already banned Salvia, 1.8 million people –many of them teens– are still using the drugs.

Wow... that snippet you pulled from Google is nothing but pure propaganda.

I agree - it's just propaganda. If anyone took the time to research the effects and properties of Salvinorin A (the active chemical), they'd see that it causes no ill health effects other than lung damage (due to the high burning temperature of the chemical). I used to do this when I was in Indiana for school (a state where it's legal btw). I don't see myself on a path to prostitution, disease and death. As far as natural "drugs" go, this is pretty safe in itself. It's what you do when you're on it (all 15 minutes of it) that makes it dangerous.
I hate propaganda - especially when it's as skewed as this. Do your research and be informed.

Erowid is definitely a good resource.
Charles - a person has a bad "reaction" because of their mentality. If a person's not prepared for it, they'll freak out like crazy. This isn't a new plant - it's been used in central and south america for almost 5,000 years for religious/ritualistic purposes.

Do you feel the same way about alcohol? At least when I trip I know I can't drive That being said, I've never had good salvia, the best stuff I've had just made my legs numb. Most smoke shops carry very weak salvia and overcharge for it. Everyone I know who has gotten good salvia got it off the internet. |

But to answer your question - if you need alcohol in your life, you're doing it wrong. I have NOTHING against occasional drinks, a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, etc. But if you cannot live without it, you have a problem. I smoked for close to 35 years, but gave that up 4 years ago. My choice this time |
