A Distinct Marijuana Alternative

Salvia divinorum has made a name rapidly in today’s society as a legal alternative to marijuana. However, eight states have already placed restrictions on salvia and considered it as an illegal substance. Mere possession of is punishable by up to five years in prison.

Tagged as Sally - D, Magic Mind and Diviner’s Sage, Salvia is considered as a hallucinogen that gives users an out - of - body sense of traveling through time and space or gives them the thought that they are merging with an inanimate object. As compared to other hallucinogens such as LSD or PCP, Salvia’s effects are rather shorter and generally lasts up to an hour only.

Although no death has been linked to the use of salvia, it was tagged as a factor in one of Delaware teen’s suicide that occurred 2 years ago. Psychologists say that salvia is more powerful than marijuana. The teen’s mother said that salvia made the boy’s mood darker but then he justified this by saying the legality of the drug.

Salvia is sold in various flavors including apple, spearmint and strawberry and costs around $30 on the world wide web. Bearing the testimonial, “It might sound far fetched, but I experienced immortality”, Salvia has been selling like hot cakes on the Internet.

As far as law makers and various politicians are concerned, the use of salvia is illegal and as quoted from Florida state Senator Evelyn Lynn, “I’d rather be at the front edge of preventing the dangers of the drug than waiting until we are the 40th or even more”.
