One will not be able to Smoke Salvia soon…

On Web sites touting the mind-blowing powers when you smoke salvia, come-ons to buy the hallucinogenic drug are accompanied by warnings: "Soon to be illegal to smoke salvia! ... stock up while you still can if you want to be able to smoke salvia."
That's because smoking salvia is being targeted by lawmakers concerned that the inexpensive and easy-to-obtain plant could become the next marijuana. Eight states have already placed restrictions for people who smoke salvia, and 16 others, including Florida, are considering a ban.
Native to Mexico and still grown there, salvia divinorum is generally smoked but can also be chewed or made into a tea and drunk.
Some say legislators are overreacting to a minor problem, but no one disputes that when you smoke salvia your judgment and the ability to focus is impaired.
