+40 It's weird that a hallucinogen like salvia divinorum is legal in more places than marijuana, amirite?

Even though it's also pretty harmless on a chemical level, I can agree with this post. It can have some pretty severe consequences in the unprepared. However, it's already legal. I'd say it's weird that they're banning it at all.

Oh my God yes. I go around telling anyone who is thinking about trying salvia to have an experienced sitter who will not be tripping with you. A kid trying climbing over my balcony wall. He didn't think he was trying to plummet 3 stores to their death (or at the very least serious inhury), I have no idea what he was seeing, but it wasn't what everyone else was. Shit needs to be dealt with carefully. And what pisses me off is how smoke shops don't even explain to people how to use it safely. There's not even a warning sticker. Slightly irrelevant personal story that shows how crazy salvia is: I once took a fat bong rip of 60x salvia, and I lost a sense of ego. I didn't even know there was other people in the room. I didn't even know I had just smoked salvia. My legs didn't exist because I couldn't see them, they were under a blanket. I had no physical entity, I was just consciousness.

A different time, only 10x, I had no visual experience, but I was very scared, and paranoid. I didn't know what was happening, but I thought I had to protect myself. The bed was trying to suck in my body and attach itself to me. It was almost traumatizing. I thought it was never going to stop. For weeks afterward I felt like I was still in Sally's world and would be sucked back in at any moment. The scariest part was feeling like it wasn't going to end, that I was stuck to navigate myself in a world I couldn't make sense of. It felt like I occupied the same physical space, but was in a different dimension.

I've always wondered this. Probably because no one can really profit from the mass production of it, so the government doesn't give a damn.

A salvia trip is super short and you are pretty much incapable of driving. Legalized marijuana will skyrocket DUIs and DUI accidents

A governor (Gabrielle Giffords) got by someone who was on salvia. Driving isn't the only thing you've got to worry about.
