It appears the next crackdown that the government may make on legal substances may be Salvia Divinorum. The herb is from the mint family and commonly referred to as just Salvia. There are several ways one may ingest Salvia into there system, by chewing, taken in liquid tincture form, or most commonly; smoked. The effects provided by the plant are those of an intense hallucinogen, and are fairly short lived, lasting far less time than other psychedelics, usually a matter of minutes. The plant produces visionary states The after effects most commonly associated with smoking the plant are an improved mood, a sense of calmness, and a connection with the world around you. Rarely, negative after effects have been reported such as a state of dysphoria, or a poor mood and attitude. Salvia has not been shown to contain anything that would cause it to become toxic or addictive to a human. With the still increasing popularity of the internet, Salvia has become much more readily available. Businesses can be found selling live plants, dried leaves, tinctures, and other preparations of the plant. There have not been reported emergency incidents with the plant such as overdoses or any serious issues, yet the plant has become under scrutiny in the public eye. There have been many comparisons by the media to other psychedelics that are illeagel, however no chemical link can be made between other drugs and Salvia. For now, Salvia remains legal in most countries, and in the U.S., in most states. There has been no prosecution history in those places where it is illegal.
