Is Salvia Divinorum the New Drug in Town?
There is a new drug in town; this one is different, this one is legal. Salvia Divinorum is a member of the lowly sage family and originates from Mexico, but thanks to the Internet it is becoming one of the most popular legal drugs. Salvia Divinorum is as potent as (highly illegal) LSD and is the most potent naturally occurring hallucinogenic known.
Salvia Divinorum, or “Magic Mint,” “Ska Maria Pastora” or “Sally D”, is popular with users both young and old and is legal almost all States across the US. Its popularity is assisted greatly by virtue of its legality but also because of how truly easy it is to get hold of, and how inexpensive it is.
Legislators are donning their amour, though, and we should expect to see more news articles condemning Salvia Divinorum and its users in the near future. Legislation, many say would be an overreaction.
