Texas tries to ban Salvia Divinorum

I've tried this drug several times, it essentially sends you to another dimension for about 3 to 6 minutes (it feels much longer), followed by a period of disorientation. The whole trip is very inward, and you usually are not aware that you have entered a trip (as opposed to LSD or mushrooms, where no matter what happens, you at least remember you took something). Salvia consumes you to the point that the trip becomes your new reality, which is why you often feel disoriented when coming off of it.

The presence of coughing/crying kids and cartoons in the background of this video make it very disturbing. I've made similar videos of people after taking salvia... some, yes, are scary, but some are downright hilarious.

If you decide to try salvia, my suggestion is to be with one or two other people who are mature and won't react like the guys in the video. If you are one of the "salvia-sitters", realize that the person who smoked the salvia probably is indifferent to your existence, so stay chill and supportive, and try not to nag.

Other important things to know is that its a dose related effect, so hold it in, or take a long swimmer's hit (I recommend holding in the hit until you start to feel the effects). Also, salvia interacts with the kappa opiod receptor, which is known for having both euphoric and dysphoric effects, so not every trip is a great one... But at least it will be over before you know it!

As far as banning salvia, well, it make take away rights, but this drug has a place with all the other hallucionagens, we must at least give it that. I can't think of a good reason not to ban or restrict it besides that I am against "the man bringing us down".

Most importantly, don't over do it... Everything in moderation, mmmkay.

barack obama is a socialist and you are a communist. How about letting this be a free country and let people decide for themselves what they should do. Also what we need in this financially struggling country is a nother reason to put otherwise working taxpaying adults in jail where we the taxpayers can spent money to keep them incarcerated insted of workin. The government cant even control meth, coke or herion or marijuanna what makes them think that this can be stopped. alchol is the most dangerous drug in my opinion. people go get drunk, drive their cars endangering everyone. maybe go home an beat their familys. people on salvia or pot are harmless. a pot head sits on the couch watching cartoons and eating chips. Who does this really endanger. I do not think kids should be doing salvia but I do think that grown adults who work and pay taxes should have the option to meditate or relax or treat their aching back and feet so that they can go out bust ass all day to pay the house payment feed the kids and support all the people on welfare and in jail.

Who is a communist? Not me, I also think people should be able to do what they like, I do what I like. The "law" has never stopped me, luckily. I would love to see the decriminalization of drugs, especially marijuana. And as far as I know, salvia is not even a drug problem, but it is a powerful drug. Respect if you use it properly, but why are you dissing me?

What does this have to do with communism? It's not like I want everyone to chip in for salvia and then redistribute it to the masses...

Better head to iamshaman.com and stock up before it's too late!

I run http://www.buysalvia.biz , so I have to keep up on this stuff. I have yet to see a single lawmaker show any long term effect. They just claim "it's dangerous" and go for the ban. Friggin ridiculous over a 20 minute high. Perhaps they should prosecute people for what they actually do(driving, etc) and not what they have the potential to do

Wow, they got f'ed up.
I get mine here: http://www.blackhatbotanicals.com

I never have gotten that f'ed up, to be crawling on the floor.
That's ridiculous.

At the same time, NOT ONE PERSON has OD'ed on this stuff, or been hospitalized. In all the years that this has been available not one person has needed medical treatment for dependency or any of the other stuff that comes with "traditional" drug use. I've even heard of people getting off hard drugs and switching to salvia as a way to stop their addictions.

he runnin dat a1 bullshyt... he fakin dat shyt

What isn't addressed is the dangerous effects of alcohol, or even over the counter cold medications, which can be more hazardous than any illegal drug. Salvia has NOT been found to have any addictive properties. People have been using it for thousands of years and is safe, when used occasionally. Responsible adults who wish to use Salvia shouldn't have to have their choices questioned, given the number of legal substances that are available.

Sorry...I ment Doc Anderson is a communist...just as a mediphore..just blowing off steam...Im tired of other people deciding how I live my life....I dont like drinking and I do what I do in my own home. I dont do anything that would damage my body or cause harm to others and the Idea that somebody wants to take away my options AGAIN pisses me off....

"the substance is dangerous" you mean it similar to drugs or something?

Quite a few states already have banned it, it's a real shame.
