Salvia

[Murray]

Personally I have no issue with proper use of salvia for religious reasons (which at this point is its the most common use). It's mainly used by christians in mexico and they view it as a gift from god. Currently it's still legal in most states, But of course the idiots who live here want to get " a crazy trip manna" so they abuse the hell out of it.

Proper salvia use seems like an understandable thing, kind of like native american churches use of peyote; so I was wondering does anybody have a strong opinion for or against proper responsible salvia use?


Little snippet from an article I read on it

"Mazatec shamans have a long and continuous tradition of religious use of Salvia divinorum, using it to facilitate visionary states of consciousness during spiritual healing sessions. Most of the plant's local common names allude to the Mazatec belief that the plant is an incarnation of the Virgin Mary, with its ritual use also invoking that relationship. Its chief active psychoactive constituent is a structurally unique diterpenoid called salvinorin A, a potent κ-opioid and D2 receptor agonist. Salvia divinorum is generally understood to be of low toxicity (high LD50) and low addictive potential since it is a κ-opioid agonist."

A strong opinion on saliva is not something I've come across. I think the law is fairly lax on it as it seems pretty harmless and very few people regularly indulge. I reckon many people buy it expecting to get legal lsd or mushrooms, they don't.
