Salvia's quick high worries police
    #7340395 - 08/27/07 12:34 PM (16 years, 7 months ago)

It's a powerful hallucinogen and a common garden herb and it's becoming a cheap way to get high on London streets.

It's Salvia divinorum, it's legal and it has London police worried.

But they can't do anything about it.

A woman, who didn't want to be named, said she first tried Salvia in 2005 and isn't eager to do it again.

"It was more powerful than any drug I've ever had," said the woman, who has used marijuana, magic mushrooms, and ecstasy. "The whole trip lasted about 10 seconds . . . It kinda freaked me out."

The herb has been sold in stores for more than 10 years, but it's become more common with its recent appearance in variety stores.

The Free Press visited several convenience stores and hemp stores on Richmond Street recently and found it easy to get the powerful plant -- traditionally used by shaman -- that produces a fast, intense high.

At several of the variety stores, enticing ads are posted in the windows. Salvia Sold Here, says one sign. Another, featuring a scantily clad woman, says simply, Salvia.

Variety store clerks said there are no age restrictions for selling salvia. If customers look old enough, they can buy a pipe and 16 milligrams -- one hit --of Salvia without hassle for less than $20.

John, who works at Hi-Times, a hemp product store that sells pot bongs, pipes and other growing equipment, said the store sells salvia only to people who are at least 19.

John, who didn't want his last name used, said it's usually stored in a drawer until it's requested by a customer and costs customers $40 for one gram.

Packages of salvia sold at Hi-Times and variety stories warn users to be accompanied by "a sober sitter."

A pamphlet available at Hi-Times -- written by SalviaSupply, a North American distributor of Salvia extractions -- heralds the herb a "safe alternative" to prohibited drugs such as marijuana and opium.

But London police worry people's lives could be in danger and admit their hands are tied because it's not illegal to sell or consume the herb.

"It does cause great concern that if someone is hallucinating, their safety or others (safety) might be in jeopardy. They could take the drugs and get struck by a car," Const. Amy Phillipo said.

But in terms of making the drug illegal, Phillipo said, that's up to the courts.

There are no plans to make Salvia illegal.

Health Canada said in April that because there's no evidence of its dangers, its use can't be regulated, although a report by the marketed health products directorate -- an arm of Health Canada -- recommended in 2005 salvia be placed under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

One employee at a downtown hemp store, who didn't want to be named because he feared losing his job, said he wants the drug off the shelves. He's seen friends on it and doesn't like what it does.

"I hate to sell it, but what can I do?" he said. "When people come in the store, I don't promote it."

SALVIA DIVINORUM

- Also known as diviner's sage, magic min and sage of the seers, it is a Mexican import that can be chewed or smoked.

- Side-effects put the user in a zombie-like state. Other immediate effects are uncontrollable laughter, visions, the feeling of being in another place, motion sensation and revisiting memories.

- Side-effects can last five to 30 minutes.

What's this, daily mail scaremongering? Oh my fuck! People use salvia and don't go insane and kill! Wait, that'll never sell. Best say that it's pushed by polish immigrants that are trying to brainwash people into banning fox hunting.

Yeah....They worry that they won't get a chance to give somebody a good beating before the high wears off.

I hate when articles are One-sided, never telling the whole truth.

If salvia is used irresponsibly i'm guess people just wouldnt use it again, and theres no health risks.
