"some researchers say salvia could have beneficial effects -- including uses treating depression or  bipolar disorder -- and they worry that a federal ban of the drug would make it difficult to study its effect on human subjects"

Poorly written article, shamans have been cultivating salvia for THOUSANDS of years, DMT is the strongest hallucinogen that occurs in nature, and comparing salvias effects with LSD or psilocybin is a stretch. Salvia is an interesting drug in itself, comparing the experience to LSDs "intense colors" is wasted space that could have been filled with more info on the subject.

SALVIA IS NOT A RECREATIONAL DRUG! trust me, u wont be doing it all the time or perhaps more than once. THATS why it is legal. You cant function on it, and it ONLY last 3 minutes at most. Shamans use it contact nature n stuff, not get "high".

From the page: "Salvia divinorum is a species of sage, but is the only plant in the salvia family to cause hallucinations. As a drug, it's usually just known as salvia but goes by a variety of other names, including "Sally D" and "magic mint.""

I've just ordered some since reading this artcle. Do not be stupid and abuse a substance, as all that will happen is it will abuse you!

From the page: "For $15 to $50 a hit, users get a high that sends them into a dream-like state for anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or two." NOT TRUE! Salvia trips do not last an hour or two. Such bullshit.

"The main concern of opponents to the drug is what people might do while they're hallucinating -- get in a car, for example, or react violently to their surroundings. A Rhode Island teenager claimed to be on salvia when he stabbed a friend, and the parents of a Louisiana teenager have said they believe their son killed himself because he was smoking salvia. But neither incident has been definitely linked to the drug." I'm not pro legalizing drugs, but now is this different than alcohol? Guy stabs friend while under the influence? Check. Dangerous driving a car while under influence? Check. Depressed people commit suicide while under influence? Check. Granted, I wouldn't want teens smoking this stuff, but until I see a study that shows short or long term damage to body or mind, it seems like more "War on Drugs" crap to me. Don't worry, I'm sure someone will just make one up.

From the page: "Salvia divinorum is a bright, leafy green plant from Mexico that when chewed or smoked causes intense hallucinations comparable to LSD or "magic mushrooms." And it's legal in California. The drug is available all over the Bay Area, mostly in smoke shops and herbal stores. It's also sold over the Internet. For $15 to $50 a hit, users get a high that sends them into a dream-like state for anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or two."

Lady Sally is wonderful, but she demands respect. IF these asshole politicians would do their own fucking research they'd realize there is no danger of this becoming any kind of epidemic. It's nothing like LSD or cocaine or mushrooms. Nothing. It's not a party drug and certainly not a good time. An introspective, spiritual journey? Yep, but not a good time and not something you want to do 'for kicks'. Anyone who's ever researched it or tried it knows this. Dumbasses.
