Wow, I didn't realize how out of touch I was. We had a guest lecture at the hospital recently who was an ER physician and his talk was about legally abused OTC drugs. I did know about some of them, like the cough suppressants and such but there were some I've never heard of. Salvia was one of them. Apparently, it's legal in most states still and grown everywhere. It's even a sold as a common garden flower (which it actually is) but you can buy preparations in the mail and in certain shops to smoke, eat, or drink. Evidently, this stuff is wicked strong. At his program in Chicago some researchers were trying to develop a blood test that would show the presence of the drug in the system so the asked 10 seasoned drug users to voluntarily smoke it and have their blood drawn. After 2 min, the project was scrapped because the volunteers were deemed "unsafe to approach with a sharp object". All 10 of them (including hardcore heroin, meth, LSD, etc.. users) stated that they would never be interested in trying it again. The drug supposedly causes an "out of body experience" which leads to complete dissociation of cause and effect. In one case of a patient he had in Chicago who had ingested some of the longer acting stuff, the kid had literally chewed through the muscles in a wrist-band pattern around his left arm....to the bone....there were bite-marks in the bone! Beware!
