drug danger magic mint parenting purple sticky salvia divinorum teen drug education“Magic mint”, or Salvia divinorum, is a dangerous new drug that’s being sold on the internet, and as of right now it is legal for people to buy. Teens nationwide have been uploading videos of themselves smoking and suffering from the dangerous affects of this lethal new drug, on Youtube.
Health officials warn that this drug has the same somatic effect as ‘pot’ (marijuana) and feels like LSD (a very dangerous drug that causes severe addiction and hallucinations).
Like most dirty, harmful things that sneak into America, this Salvia takes its origins in Mexico. Kids are taking to the internet in droves to find this herb, so they may smoke and chew it up to become possessed by its ill-affects.
Even if you monitor your child’s internet access, as you’ll see kids as young as eleven have experimented with this drug and are suffering the disastrous consequences. It is even available in hedge shops here in the bay area, being sold by names such as Purple Sticky Salvia for only $20.
It’s tragic to think that the 20 bucks you loan to your son or daughter for a ‘trip to the mall” may actually be going on a drug that will lead them to a life of prostitution, disease and death.
Granted that it mimics weed and LSD, this drug must be very dangerous. Even though 13 states have already banned Salvia, 1.8 million people –many of them teens– are still using the drugs.
In the following video, you’ll see the demonic influence of this drug causes teens to lose touch with reality and make unnatural, hippie like movements. A medical expert also gives further warning about this new menace facing our youth.

That would be called “rape”. Now I’m sure this strange, foreign concept may be hard to grasp, but chemical assisted rape is not exactly new. And it certainly wouldn’t be done with salvia, unless you can take someone home, pound their butt, and drop them off somewhere in under 10 minutes. Strong downers like Rohypnol, barbiturates, alcohol, GHB/GBL, chloral hydrate, Quaaludes, etc. are a different story. So unlikely to say the least (an idiotic conception by people too afraid to think for themselves to say the most).
I also feel the need to correct a few more facts about LSD and salvia. The strength of LSD’s visuals is largely dose dependent, and, in low doses, has more to do with expansion of the imagination translated into sensual stimuli. It is largely nonaddictive, as well. In a study conducted in Britain shortly after LSD was criminalized, the majority of psychiatrists treating patients with LSD continued to do so, citing its efficacy and good safety profile. Only a small number discontinued LSD therapy due to potential risks. In addition, the only potential lasting effect of LSD is HPPD, where minor visuals persist indefinately. According to current studies, this only occurs in 0.2% of users (though estimates range up to 6%), and is non-life threatening, just annoying for most. It can, in some rare circumstances, contribute to the inculcating event in those already predisposed to mental illness, so it is important to research your family medical history beforehand, healthy or not. Both minor risks can be reduced MAJORLY by responsible use (as can the potential for a “bad trip”, which is actually fairly low). Responsible use is achieved through “set” and “setting” (as per Dr. Leary,a visionary thinker), i.e. respect the drug, don’t use it if you suffer mental illness, get a trip sitter, and consider where you are using it (and more, but these aspects being the most important). It is not possible to become physically addicted to LSD. Tolerance to psychedelics of the tryptamine class begins upon taking the drug, and lasts for about 2 weeks. This means that, unless you like wasting money on LSD that will not affect you in the least, there is no reason (and no withdrawal) to take more for a few weeks. The same applies the drugs of the phenethylamine class (e.g. MDxx drugs, mescaline, 2C-x drugs, etc.), though there isn’t a cross tolerance between tryptamines and phenethylamines. The notable exception to the rules on phenethylamines would be amphetamines and such, a totally different story. LSD has no long term physical effects and has NEVER been found to stay in the body indefinitely. LSD is a very maligned chemical (likely an attempt by the government to suppress hippie culture and its accompanying poliical views), and the majority of independently funded (and even many government funded) studies have found it to be one of (if not THE) safest common recreational drug.
Salvia is a whole ‘nother boat here. Salvia acts on kappa-opioid receptors, LSD on 5-HT (serotonergic) receptors, and cannabis on endocannabinoid receptors. This article compares apples to oranges. It has a lower addiction potential than any other recreational drug. Most who try it dislike it, and never touch it again, in fact. This is due to the fact that the effects of salvinorin are closer to “the other side” of psychedelics, i.e. dissociatives. The trip is nothing like LSD. It is not even truly a dissociative in mehanism of action, or even effects. The only risk is a bad trip. Salvia, like LSD, is largely maligned, and has been show to have far more therapeutic potential than posing a risk to society (aside from free thinking… the biggest risk). In light oral doses, it can create a mild “stoning” effect, but comparing that to the effects of cannabis would be yet another inappropriate comparison, one of many gaffes that this indoctrinated, woefully undereducated author makes. Please actually do some RESEARCH before ever writing anything again.
And here’s the dirty truth:
APAP (Tylenol) overdose deaths per year (U.S.A): approx. 12,000.
Overdose deaths EVER for cannabis, LSD, and salvia combined: 0.
But how would I know anything? I’m only studying pharmacy, specializing in psychoactive drugs, with extensive field experience. I’d like to ask this author’s credentials (as well as sources…). If you would like to know more about psychedelic drugs, I would very much recommend PiHKAL and TiHKAL by Dr. and Mrs. Shulgin, as well as the works of Dr. Leary, and Dr. Hoffman. But don’t trust science, trust our only safe source of information: the Church. Now let’s go kill us some more Galileos…

I have done this drug. It is not a party drug like Dan says. You are high for 10 minutes. You feel terrible afterwords. It might even be a great anti-drug. You’re confused and stoned for 10 minutes then instantly hung over. It’s not the type of drug that you would want to do 10 minutes later because even being high on it is horrifying.

Word: Lethal
Definition: made to cause death (dictionary.com)
Fact: There is no medical evidence that saliva has ever directly caused the death of a human being. (Wikipedia.com)
Fact: LSD causes less deaths per use than does alcohol, tobacco, prescription pain killers, and stimulants used to treat ADD. (Sirs.org)
Quote: “Like most dirty, harmful things that sneak into America, this Salvia takes its origins in Mexico. Kids are taking to the internet in droves to find this herb, so they may smoke and chew it up to become possessed by its ill-affects.”
First I would like to point out that saliva did not sneak into America. It grows naturally certain states in the US. Even if it didn’t, its not illegal, so it would not be “Snuck” in.
Second, someone needs to call you out on the racism that is inherent in the above quote. To argue it from a moral standpoint, that is racism, and racism is wrong by most civil standards. From a logical one, labor from Mexico has been encouraged by the US government for decades to save snooty little white douchebags from having to dirty their hands. From a Christian standpoint you should really learn to be accepting of your fellow man. Not to mention Mexico is a very Christian nation.
Third, you don’t become possessed when you take salvia. It alters neurotransmitter uptake and reuptake through out the brain for a short amount of time. Its important to note salvia affects the brain for a shorter amount of time than the cup of coffee or tea you probably drank this morning.
Quote: “It’s tragic to think that the 20 bucks you loan to your son or daughter for a ‘trip to the mall” may actually be going on a drug that will lead them to a life of prostitution, disease and death.”
OH COME ON!
Quote: “…are still using the drugs.”
Fact: Salvia is one drug; you don’t need the “s” at the end of the word drug.
I suggest that one day you learn a tolerances of people who think differently than you do. I hope you will soon learn that it isn’t the government’s job to regulate substances, that job falls to the parents and the pastors. If you don’t, that’s your choice…but I pity you.

For some real intelligent perspectives about mature people who use Salvia Divinorum, I highly recommend checking out http://www.salvia.net to learn more about the traditional shamanic uses of this fascinating herb.
Also, for better education about what these mystical, psychedelic herbs are and what they mean to human being, I recommend studying Dr. Timothy Leary’s classic work, The Psychedelic Experience.
Fear is not an intelligent avenue to self understanding. If we are in fear of drug use and all the vastness of what it means to us as peoples and cultures, we are not understanding ourselves, our psychoactive substances and our cultures as well as if we think clearly and intelligently.

“Health officials warn that this drug has the same somatic effect as ‘pot’ (marijuana) and feels like LSD (a very dangerous drug that causes severe addiction and hallucinations).”
Salvia is nothing like pot. The effects are short lived, and don’t promote a recreational atmosphere. It does not in any way feel like LSD. To really prove how ignorant you are on the topic of drugs, LSD is not in the least addictive. In fact, you have to wait about a week before you can feel any effects from LSD again. You have no clue what addiction is apparently.
“Like most dirty, harmful things that sneak into America, this Salvia takes its origins in Mexico.”
Harry Anslinger convinced congress that “marijuana” was something new from Mexico, while in reality it was already in use medicinally and industrially in America as cannabis or hemp. He manipulated congress, basing his arguments on a deeply rooted prejudice for Mexican workers in America. And here again, someone’s demonizing Mexicans, saying they’re the root of all evil in America. You don’t think much outside your little box do you? People like you give spirituality a bad name, and cause wars to persist.
“Even if you monitor your child’s internet access, as you’ll see kids as young as eleven have experimented with this drug and are suffering the disastrous consequences.”
Funny, the only consequences they face are the onslaught of ignorance about the topic of Salvia. I agree, kids shouldn’t be taking mind altering drugs, but adults can do what they want. You’re not stopping them from bungie jumping, skiing, motor-cross, skate boarding, or any other dangerous “sport” which can cause death or permanent injury. You simply don’t want people to experience an altered state of mind. That’s the only rational argument you have against salvia and marijuana, but it is un-American. People have a right to make choices about health, even if those are bad choices. Again, kids are different, and their parents are generally responsible for their health, but that doesn’t stop a kid from making personal health choices, nor should it.
“It’s tragic to think that the 20 bucks you loan to your son or daughter for a ‘trip to the mall” may actually be going on a drug that will lead them to a life of prostitution, disease and death.”
I guess you found some secret government study showing how these drugs directly cause sexual promiscuity. No, people make those choices for themselves. I am far from sexually promiscuous and I smoke marijuana every night medicinally. Anslinger made the argument that marijuana caused white women to sleep with black men. It was as ridiculous as your claim, and filled with the same level of bigotry.
“hippie like movements.”
I want to know, just how does a hippie move? Since you’re the expert on this topic.

Everyone who is a member to this site with the exception of myself obviously, is a closeted homosexual. All religion is false, the bible was written by many different people with many different claims, at a time where there was a lot of chemicals in the drinking water and it was also popular to drink from lead cups, as well as no drug being illegal, so any person involved with the writing of the bible could have been on drugs in the first place, theoretically undoing anything you could even say about the use of drugs being bad. Secondly, don’t judge unless you are prepared to be judged yourself in your “religion” therefore do not post things about gays, and drugs and different races being diff things to you because you are actually people who hate their own lives and need to believe in something higher than yourself in order to make it through any type of issue or problem in your life, you need to deal with issues as they come and not put all your faith into something you can’t prove actually exists. Thank you for your time because I know you were probably planning on steamrolling over a rapstars’ new album, or boycotting a George Michael concert so I know you are busy, thank you once again.

Christians, by standing on top of others and preaching you are forgetting that the “bible” calls you to become servants in humility. You are taught to love, not antagonize, accept, not shun. Do not be so boastful as to correcting others in your line of judgment but do as the father commands. If by any chance you’ve offended others in trying to spread the gospel, apologize, and reiterate your case then return with proper set of arguments. Do not in any way attempt to justify yourself or the gospel without thoroughly being educated in that topic in both the biblical and worldly aspects. When Christians argue without properly stating the facts, you’ve preached falsehood and contorted the very message you’ve attempted to spread. Be smart about what you say.

I am a free being, and will choose my own way, whether it be down the path you beat or another. Leave me alone, and I’ll leave you be as well. If we can work together to better inform and preserve the safety of those who choose to imbibe or those who choose not to, then yes, we may be able to come to terms. But if you are going to spread unsubstantiated rumor and nonfact and push it to legislation, you have another thing coming.

No, they weren’t. Youtube does not request people’s addresses. They probably never will. And considering the fact that Salvia is legal, notifying their parents won’t really do much. 13 states outlaw a new drug, then another million people do it! Not necessarily in that state, of course. I mean, if a really, uber-drug-hating state outlaws it, will people really pay attention? No, nor should they. Conservative states might may outlaw Salvia, but that doesn’t mean that people outside those states should immediately stop smoking it. That’s like saying people shouldn’t look at websites (like yours) that are censored by the Chinese government.

Salvia isn’t harmful. It has no long term side effects, and the ‘trip’ only lasts about 10 minutes. And it’s legal, too, due to the reasons of it not being harmful. And it isn’t new, it’s been around for a very long time, and scientists have been studying it since the 70s, and have found no evidence of it being physically harmful.
Quit spreading fear and hate about things you don’t understand. You’re only making the world worse.

Dan,
Stop spreading hate and acting like you know about things to which you have no clue.
I like also how you use the term proper and gay, as if there is nothing wrong with ‘proper’ people.
Maybe you should read the message Jesus brought to us, and stop hating the players!!

Stop trying to distort reality just so you feel more comfortable with what you know is wrong. Only one marijuana cigarette, just one, will cause you to have a 41% decrease in driving skills. Two will shoot that up to 83%.
If that wasn’t enough, it lowers your inhibition and can give you short term psychological problems. Second hand smoke or residue from these drugs can cause women to miscarry their babies. Long term you can end up with brain damage, being gatewayed to other drugs or end up dead. Which is, your know, permanent.
So stop being delusional and trying to find reasons to justify your drug uses. There is a good reason why 13 states have already banned this specific type of drug and rest assured other states will fall in line.
Then you have to think about the cycle and people you’re funding by buying things from this appropriately named “black” market. You should be ashamed for trying to justify your habits.
The Bible also teaches us that any and all intoxication is sin, so you just keep that in mind. There is nothing good that will come from drug use, and you’re just ruining your life and everyone other persons the more you keep this nonsense going.

Crap Chuck, instead of telling people what legal things they can and can’t put in their bodies, you should probably be going out bombing abortion clinics and killing in the name of Christ to stop people from killing, cuz you know, that’s what he was all about.

Everything Chuck Reagan has said about marijuana is absolutely true. Marijuana may very well turn out to be the most dangerous drug in america. It kills ten thousand people DAILY. yes thats right it kills ten thousand DAILY. thats every day folks. it kills ten thousand people every single day.
My mother smoked weed one day and that same night she locked herself in the bathroom with 20 bags of egg mcmuffins and several magazines involving Hilary Clinton and didnt come out for 3 days. Weed caused her to waste horrendous amounts of money on egg mcmuffins which everyone knows that only faggots eat.
Egg mcmuffins are the faggots favorite food and weed is said to turn you into a faggot and faggots are spawns of the devil so this leads me to believe that smoking weed in some way connects you to satan. I believe that when you smoke weed, everything you do while under its affects is probably controlled by Satan himself.
After my mother left the bathroom 3 days later she was sweating and breathing very hard. I believe she was probably masturbating while thinking about Hilary Clinton. I wish she never smoked weed because it turned her into a fag

You’re going to be in shock from what I am about to tell you. You see, the legal status of marijuana causes people to hide their use, which often leads them to take a trip out in the country to smoke. Given the numbers you claim, there would be an epidemic of marijuana-related accidents. The reality is that this is not the case. The only epidemic we have is alcohol-related accidents. You irrationally assume all mind-altering substances cause the same level of accidents. If that was the case, my anti-psychotic and anti-depressant would have killed me and others years ago. A German study has even shown marijuana to help ADD patients keep their minds on the road. In fact, most marijuana smokers whom drive during intoxication are more cautious about defensive driving than while sober.

“Long term you can end up with brain damage, being gatewayed to other drugs or end up dead. Which is, your know, permanent.”
Marijuana use has never been linked to brain damage. In fact, marijuana promotes neurogenesis, which is the birth of neurons. Marijuana causes the total opposite of brain damage, in other words.
No studies have proven the gateway theory. When it was proven before congress in the 30s that marijuana did not cause insanity like Anslinger had previously stated, Anslinger was sly and suggested that marijuana use directly led to methamphetamine use, thus the gateway theory was born. His expert experimented on dogs. Apparently these dogs started using meth! No, the reality is that the only link marijuana has with harder drugs is that it is illegal, and the black market suppliers push other products to optimize profits. It is common business practice, and is why we see so many options to choose from when we go shopping.
You can’t overdose on marijuana, so I don’t see why you claim it leads to death. Even if you could, it is not up to you to tell others how to live. You’re simply bellyaching that the world’s not living up to your expectations. Well, guess what, this is reality. Marijuana is a culture of wide in diversity. I know, I know, you just hate the idea of diversity. Well, get over it, because diversity is inevitable thanks to the concept of basic human rights. We are allowed to dissent when we’ve been wronged, and believe me, these acts of rebellion work. Have you noticed we just elected a black man to the seat of President of America? People still remember segregation. So will end this prejudice against marijuana smokers. You act as if marijuana smokers are a dying breed, while in truth you are the dying breed. Marijuana use is only rising, as indicated by record high arrests for simple possession, as reported by the FBI.
I started smoking marijuana as a teen, thanks to the raw availability of the black market supply to youth, and I am a successful adult with a strong educational background. I am proof that your beliefs about marijuana are vastly false.

Chuck – [CITATION NEEDED]
Also, salvia has been around for a good long while. It’s been legal for a good long while, and is still legal, for reasons that are obvious – no harm, no problem. The only reason marijuana is still outlawed (and hopefully you as a collective group (humanity) will realize it’s not bad) is because the experiment that showed the destruction of brain cells in monkeys “using” marijuana was because the researchers were pumping cannabis smoke into the monkeys with gas masks, not allowing oxygen to accompany it. That caused oxygen deprevation, also known as suffocation. Suffocation leads to loss of brain cells.

“In summary, since adult hippocampal neurogenesis is suppressed following chronic administration of opiates (20), alcohol (21), nicotine (22), and cocaine (23), the present study suggests that cannabinoids are the only illicit drug that can promote adult hippocampal neurogenesis following chronic administration. Increased hippocampal neurogenesis appears to underlie the mechanism of anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects produced by a high dose of chronic HU210 treatment. The opposing effects of high doses of acute and chronic cannabinoids, together with the anxiolytic-like effects caused by a low dose of cannabinoids, may finally explain discrepancies in the clinical study literature regarding the effects of cannabinoid on anxiety and depression.”
