I can't believe what this government is doing to extend the war on psychoactive substances in this economy and avoiding the numerous other chemicals that are FAR more dangerous. Personally as a user of Salvia I would much rather have that in my body than alot of things going around and would like to hear others opinions.
"The parents alleged that the distributors knew salvia could be dangerous and failed to warn their son."

Oh and just read this lovely article
http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_6210.cfm
Theres MUCH MORE CHEMICALS! You won't believe whats in a burger from Mcdonalds and how it effects you. What's sick is you have to be 18 to buy salvia and any age can get this shit. It would be a RARE case for someone young to abuse psychoactives as well, yet they will abuse a happy meal and soda every day and PARENTS buy it for them including Bretts parents. These chemicals could of very well contributed to his depression more than Salvia. If their purpose was to ban these chemicals I would respect them much more because then they have some accountability in feeding it to him. When I see a mother give her child a diet soda and junk food it makes me want to vomit, the younger you are the more it screws you up and PARENTS don't even know it.
Why does the government slam us for marijuana, then does NOTHING about the thousands of chemicals or preservatives designed to make you want to or addicted to eat or drink more chemicals and preservatives? Isn't it far more criminal to feed other people your drugs without their knowledge or noticeable effects?
It's done for money and control. Problem is eventually it will catch up to us and well have a mess on our hands.
Do you think Salvia being criminalized will fix depression? I don't think so. Going to jail a felon is far more likely to cause suicide than Salvia. If the government allows me to buy salvia, then down the rode makes it illegal I have no idea, I am caught with it and fined thousands literally lose my life does that sound like I am the criminal or the government is? Whats causing the depression? Or I buy it in Texas, drive to illinois, now I am a criminal and wheres the governments danger warning? Forget the people that sell Salvia. If anything it should be a misdemeanor but not criminalized thats total BS and will cost money putting non violent people in prison to get tortured.
Anyways I am just ranting now so I will let others extend on what I have to say if they choose to or constructively critisize it I would love to hear someone argue with me especially a politician.
If you watch what you eat try to stick with fruits and read labels you will realize how addicted and depressed you fell but in a months time it's like you are walking on air with constant euphoria everythings brighter I know first hand it's the ultimate high then smoking Salvia or tripping is amazingly beneficial life in general is far more spiritual. I am a happy healthy person and I use Psychadelics, including salvia regularly... WTF...
