Salvia Divinorum is a naturally occurring plant (native, in fact to Mexico) with hallucinogenic properties. People who use Salvia in either its natural form or as a concentrated extract feel short periods of hallucination and disorientation; effects can include outer body experiences and the feeling of merging with inanimate objects. Salvia is legal under US federal law and is available freely over the Internet.

Freely that is unless you live in one of the eleven states to have introduced rules to see Salvia banned. Another 20 states are considering laws that will see Salvia banned or its use restricted in some way.

Oklahoma and Kansas are the latest states to introduce the laws to see Salvia banned. Felons in Oklahoma can expect jail sentences of up to 10 year just for the possession of the herb, while distributors face between five years and life.

Salvia gained notoriety when the parents of a Delaware teen blamed the herb for the suicide death of their son. It is perhaps understandable that these parents want Salvia banned. But are they the most impartial people to follow?

There have been no reported deaths that have occurred as a direct result of Salvia use. Doctors and scientists are unsure as to the long term effects of Salvia
