Salvia Divinorum: The New LSD?

Teens are taking this drug...and in most states, it's legal.

We want to give Moms a heads up about a new drug out there that teens
are calling the "new LSD." It's called Salvia Divinorum, and the
scariest part is that it's legal in all but seven states (Louisiana,
Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Delaware, Maine, and North Dakota).
Beginning Jan. 1, it will be illegal in Illinois as well. Salvia
Divinorum is a Mexican herb that's being packaged as "incense," but
kids smoke or chew it like tobacco to get high. Its' leaves can also be
boiled to make an intoxicating tea. The effects include hallucinations,
out-of-body experiences, unconsciousness, and short-term memory loss.
The DEA has included it on its list of "Drugs and Chemicals of
Concern," and is considering whether to add the herb to its list of
controlled substances.
If you're the parent of a teen or tween, Salvia should definitely be on
your radar.
