I would bet that Salvia is something most parents, adults, and generally speaking, “people of authority” don't know about.
Most High School students know about Salvia. (Or at least they know the effects of Driving On Salvia)
Salvia is a hallucinogenic substance that can be smoked much like tobacco or marijuana, and is known to produce vivid trips on par with LSD.
Heres the catch: It's legal.
I went to Puff 'N Stuff the other day and bought 25x strength Salvia.
Later that night, for about 5 minutes, I thought I was in a golf cart riding down a red, blue, and yellow brick road when my friend fell out of the cart.
It was funny at the time, but wow. That sounds like LSD tripping stories. The only difference is my keys didn't
Smoke shops carry it, ninth graders smoke it to feel rebellious, and I lost my mind upon its use.
It's a mint-genus plant with roots in divining and Shamanism of Central and South American Tribes... but so does Marijuana, right?
The effects, however, of smoking the drugs are drastically different.
Salvia, according to Salvia.net, a major player in the fight for its legality, lists the effects as such:
Loss of physical coordination
Uncontrollable laughter
Visual alterations or visions
Experiencing multiple realities
A contemplative sense of peace
Sense of profound understanding
Dream-like veneer over the world
Sense of total confusion or madness
Seeing or becoming part of a tunnel
Loss of sense of awareness as an individual
Experiencing a “non-Euclidean” geometry
Sense of flying, floating, twisting, or turning
Feeling of being immersed in an energy field
Feeling of being connected to a larger “whole”
Feeling of being underground or underwater
Appearing to travel to other places and/or times
Becoming inanimate objects (a wall, stairs, a couch, etc.)
Viewing patterns or shapes that are tube-like, snake-like, or worm-like...
Hell, on the package (Literally a package, like buying spices at a grocery store), it recommends having a "spotter" nearby during use.
A spotter as in a friend to make sure you don't go insane.
Yet Marijuana is illegal?
Yet after all the research done on Cigarettes and its harm, they're legal?
According to CollegeDrinkingPrevention, over 97% of rape on a campus involves Alcohol.
Yet Alcohol is legal?
Perhaps Salvia is still legal as some obtuse anachronism that authorities have yet to research and crack down on.
After all, apparently it doesn't cause Kidney, Liver, Brain or Lung Cancer.
If I can't destroy my body using Marijuana, because its illegal, Thank god Cigarettes, Salvia and Alcohol are readily prevalent for me to abuse.
Can there really be no effects on the brain if you're “tripping balls” for 10 minutes in a fashion similar to LSD?
What do you guys think about Salvia?
Harmless Hallucinogenic used by Eighth graders that haven't been able to meet a Marijuana dealer?
Or is it a mind-altering drug that is self-destructive, but due to a lack of research by a Government that can easily tax and manage the drug, the negative effects go unnoticed.
(Sorry to go all conspiracy theory on you.)
After all, just YouTube "Salvia."
People make pretty funny videos of its effects... God forbid the Government cracks down on laughter too =)

This is a very interesting blog, because although I have never done Salvia, I have had friends tell me about it. One of my friends even ordered it over the internet and had it shipped to his house. The effects of Salvia are definitely more destructive than marijuana. And from what I've heard, after the 10 to 15 minute trip, you sustain a high that is similar to marijuana for about an hour. Those 10 minutes are also more than enough time to really damage yourself or others around you. Just like other hallucinogens, you can have a bad trip on Salvia. These trips have led people to do seemingly insane things, because they thing the world is about to end or something is chasing them. Now I acknowledge there are arguments for both sides about legalizing marijuana, but I don't know that I think it should be legal. However, I do feel like Salvia should definitely be illegal.
I love America. They sell everything you need to use to smoke marijuana but yet marijuana is illegal. They sell bongs, pipes, vaps, blitz, zig-zags, grinders, scales that measure in grams. Yet marijuana is illegal. Even when you go to a store that sells the stuff there is always the big sign that says for tobacco use only. AH Bite Me..who believes that shit. Oh and yet Salvia is actually more dangerous for you then marijuana. Damn even alcohol is more dangerous that marijuana. You can't overdose of marijuana. All these drugs today have side effects. Heres the side effects of marijuana. HUNGRY, HAPPY, SLEEPY. Now to me that does sound very dangerous. Shit smoke 5 grams of weed in 3 hours if you pass out the worse thing that will happen is you'll wake up 30 minutes later and eat everything in your damn house. What is america getting at. If drugs are illegal shouldn't they make all paraphenial illegal as well?
