Ohio Places Ban on Salvia
January 8th, 2009 by Perry
The mildly psychedelic plant, salvia divinorum, was recently classified as a Class A drug by Ohio’s governor, who signed into law a bill which makes the drug illegal to possess on the streets. The law will take effect in 90 days.
The ban comes amid a flurry of negative PR for the ancient Native American substance which produces a mild trip and has been linked to several incidents where teenagers have been seriously hurt due to abuse of the drug.
The herb, which is native to Mexico, induces a trip where users experience an altered depth perception and has led to blackouts on rare occasion. As with anything, if it can be used responsibly there shouldn’t be a reason to ban Salvia. too bad.
