News: Salvia Divinorum

Native to Mexico and still grown there, salvia divinorum is generally smoked but can also be chewed or made into a tea and drunk. Salvia divinorum’s short-lasting effects and fact that it is currently legal may make it seem more appealing to teens, lawmakers say. In the Delaware suicide, the boy's mother told reporters that salvia divinorum made his mood darker but he justified its use by citing its legality. According to reports, the autopsy found no traces of the drug in his system.
