I use the Google clipping service to, among other things, keep track of Salvia Divinorum references on the web. Well, imagine my surprise when I see my very own blog post in it. I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised, because it is a blog about Salvia and well, this is a Google blog site, but I rarely ever (if ever) show up there, because the search is actually for Salvia Divinorum and most of the time I reference it as Salvia.
The reason it showed up was because of that link I put into my last post. It used the whole term, Salvia Divinorum. I guess this one may show up too....

Misinformation, Disinformation and Lies.
You know, I'm pro-child. Seriously. I like them, they are great little people, for the most part anyway. In fact, I am so pro-child, that I do not believe in taking away their future rights. Like say, this guy (group?) does.

This little article is so full of misinformation, disinformation or out right lies (you be the judge). Like this little Gem...
"For those of you who may not be familar(sic) with Salvia - you can smoke it, drink it, chew it, just about any form of digesting it will bring about the immediate hallucinogenic high."
Wow. First of all that's not even physically possible. Even if it were, it's not true, oh readers of my blog, you know the score on this. It's no where near that easy, not even for the extreme soft heads I don't believe and they are so rare that even if it is for them.......eh.
Here's one of my favorite lines though...
"Though I have not discovered anywhere that Salvia is said to be addictive, I believe it won't be too long before there is a very serious problem with this."
That's probably because of those Anti-Addictive properties that Salvia contains. No big surprise there.
Oh, but back to my point. The children. Should children or teens be doing Salvia? No! No! Absolutely not, I have said it before and I will say it again! NO!!!! However. That is no reason to curtail ANOTHER one of my rights, not to mention remove a right from these children when they do get old enough to make the informed decision about whether or not to try Salvia (I say try because most people try it once, don't like it and don't do it again.).
So, how about instead of a ban, I don't know, we restrict it to a certain age? Maybe 18, maybe 21? Whatever. I don't have a problem with that. I doubt most people (over the age mind you) who have a brain and use it occasionally would mind this. I may be asking too much of "The Watchful Eye" though.

Activity...
I've decided to try to post here more often than I have been. That should not be too hard, even with minimal effort, but I am trying for m ore than minimal.
I haven't had (and by had I mean used, I have some) Salvia in a while. Sage Singer and I are going to get together, one of these days, and Skype a Besagement. I look forward to it as I do all Besagements, with joy and trepidation, especially since I won't have a physical sitter. I for the most part don't need one though.
no interesting news to comment on Salvia today, so perhaps tomorrow.

Reefer..er, um...Salvia Madness!
Looking about me and seeing all that's going on around the country (and the world for that matter). I must say that I do believe I have seen all this before. It's Reefer Madness all over again, just with a new plant. This must be stopped. Seriously, what's next? Nutmeg? You can seriously get a good buzz going off of that. Maybe I shouldn't say that too loud, The spice police might raid my kitchen....
