I'm sure most of you are familiar with what is scientifically known as salvia divinorum, or just Salvia for short. Now I tend to live by the mottoes "All things in moderation," and "You gotta try (almost) everything once," but salvia had always kind of scared me. In high school some of my, how do you say, "druggier" friends had tried everything, and said salvia was one of the most intense hallucinogens they had done.
I know I don't have to say it but I'm going to anyway... marijuana doesn't make you do that. Never. I guarantee that if you try to prove me wrong and smoke until you can't smoke anymore, you will wake up bloated, covered in crumbs, and angry that you smoked all your weed. That's it.
Alright so I decided I wouldn't let this barely legal plant get the best of me any longer, and my buddy and me drove down to the head shop, picked up some 40x, and made it back to the house (after only briefly getting lost). I'm not gonna lie and say I tripped like the guy in this video, but I was definitely much more than high.
I don't mean to sound like I want to make salvia illegal - quite the opposite, in fact - but it pisses me off that both salvia divinorum and cannabis are plants classified as hallucinogens, and the federal government sees one as an Un-Scheduled drug, and the other as Schedule 1 (take a look at some of the other names in that caregory).
If this scheduling is supposed to be based on the strength and lethality of drugs, it's obvious that no one in the government has tried either.
