There have been a few topics lately about drugs etc.. so in case some of you may not know yet, here is a link to what folks are smoking now a days.

This plant does not show up in current testing for drugs, and is legal in most states. It is a member of the family of plants that includes mint.

don't confuse this with sativa, which is a form of the cannibus plant

It is very popular among teenagers because of the high, low risk of getting in trouble with it, and its easy to get (you can buy it at most any plant nursery)

    I'd rather kids smoke that rather than the synthetic stuff and "bath salts" which have gotten so popular around here...

    oakie,

    Mercer is about 45 minutes north Pittsburgh.

    I lived/worked in the Harrisburg area for about 5 years recently, never been to gun shows there but they are well known for car shows etc.

    I have been to philly several times, I worked at a juvenile placement and many of the kids went there for court, but again no gun shows.

    a lot of places are starting to make that stuff illegal now as well. Nothing Federal yet I dont think, but many states and local governments are passling legislation against it.

    A friend (who I won't name) has a friend on a professional football team(also won't name) who was telling me about the stuff. Said lots of pro players were using the stuff cause they don't have to worry about testing or arrests

    No, you CAN'T just "buy it at any nursery". It is VERY hard to grow, and keep alive. You are thinking of "common sage" which is also a form of salvia. Won't get you high though.

    It is fairly expensive, as you CAN'T just walk in anywhere and find it.

    And most people who try it only try it ONCE, from what I've read on the ethnobotanical websites. It is a pretty bad "high" I've read many times.

    Ok, not trying to be difficult, perhaps the plant name I was thinking was wrong, this is the nursery near me, I did a quick search

    http://www.kraynaks.com/


    I got three results, are you saying none of these are being smoked for a high, or that this is the wrong plant? or are you saying the plant I originally posted about, and the search results, are different plants?

    again I'm not looking to argue, If I was wrong then I'm looking to learn myself

    Tim,
    Sorry, but I don't know what you found in your search results. People WILL smoke just about anything though! I'm just saying that salvia divornum isn't commonly found in nurseries. It is a "bleh" looking plant, so no one is going to grow it for ornamental reasons. There are a ton of ethnobotanical sites that talk about growing and smoking it though. But your regular type nurseries probably won't have it.
