"Sally-D, Magic Mint and Diviner's Sage... whatever you call it, Salvia is all the rage!"
Did you like our little song? Then maybe you've already had too much of the funky stuff, which is like bad tasting LSD in marijuana form, if that makes any sense.
Salvia is
a hallucinogen that gives users an out-of-body sense of traveling through time and space or merging with inanimate objects. Unlike hallucinogens like LSD or PCP, however, salvia's effects last for a shorter time, generally up to an hour.
Cool! Merging with inanimate objects? Is that some kind of kinky sex thing for those too hip for Second Life porn? We'd be willing to give it a try, except that by the time we order this garbage (currently about $30 an ounce if ordered online), it will probably be illegal, as it already is in backwards places like Louisiana and Canadia.
Plus, psychedelic guru Rick Doblin says salvia parents won't have to worry that much about their kids getting into it, like they should about marijuana reefers and paint thinner.
[It's] "a party drug," "tastes terrible" and is "not going to be extremely popular." He disputes the fact teens are its main users and says older users are more likely.
We plead the fifth.
