Reading the wiki page about this plant, it sounds as though there are lots of people who would benefit from the non-addictive plant. Perhaps the pharmaceutical industry is pushing for this because they want to corner the market. There are several pharmaceutical companies currently seeking patents on the marajuana plant for that very purpose.

Johnny that is spot on. If the salvia lobby was writing checks to our legislators, we’d never hear a peep about the “evil” plant.

Yeah, forget about alcohol and tobacco, which kills hundreds of thousands of people annually, and go after a harmless herb that doesn’t have a powerful lobby paying legislators to keep it legal. It’s a real shame that with all of the problems facing our state, these two-bit, modern day Puritans want to grandstand on things like outlawing the sale of sex toys and herbs.

It’s so much easier to go after plants than deal with the real problem–the tremendous costs and consequences of addiction and/or people who do reckless things while ‘under the influence.’

Oh, my–my hubby and I were just looking at the Salvia at WalMart last night–he wanted to buy every last plant! Guess he heard about this–ridiculous!

Yep…these days any ‘green leafy substance’ is subject to seizure by the police. We used to grow salvia. When the cops raided me in 2002 they seized a bunch of it. They didn’t know what it was but it was a green leafy substance in the freezer. Got a binch of catnip too They also almost seized some bringh, green goose shit because they thought the goose ate the weed they were sure they would find but didn’t…but that is another story.

To play it safe stay far away from all things green

Jennifer, you’re right. But from what I’ve read at your place, it sounds like your homeowners’ association is scarier than the cops. Even if you don’t garden.
