Salvia Dragon: Banning of the legal hallucinogen
A naturally occurring plant, Salvia Divinorum, famed for its hallucinogenic qualities could be part of the answer to treating serious illnesses like schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s. Such a breakthrough is, of course, a number of years away yet, but this is an interesting turn up for the little plant with a patchy history.
Salvia Divinorum is a member of the Sage family native to Mexico. If smoked, or if an extract is prepared in the correct way, then a user may feel an intense, dreamlike experience that can be unpleasant for first-time users.
Not only is Salvia Divinorum a highly potent hallucinogenic not dissimilar to LSD, it is also completely legal in most states of the US and in most other countries. Legislators in the US are, naturally, trying their hardest to gain political brownie-points by banning Salvia Divinorum. Perhaps unsurprisingly the legislative machine has succeeded in banning the substance in a number of states.
