This is an herb that will “trip you out” about as much as rubbing a tab of acid across your skin, or throwing one magic mushroom in your spaghetti with mushrooms dinner.
As for the “Jackass” style YouTube vids of tweenagers allegedly on salvia, how do we know they were on it? And, if they were, was that the only thing they were on?
But those vids are the reason Texas state Rep. Charles Anderson of Waco is sponsoring one of several bills that could come up in next year’s Lege to ban salvia.
Second, Rep. Anderson, this is video of kids trying to get messed up. Criminalize salvia, they’ll just get drunk, gobble Ecstasy, huff glue or gasoline, or whatever. Don’t be a doorknob.
Besides that, you’ve been punked.
He also told his colleagues about a video that depicts a salvia user behind the wheel of a car. (In fact, that video, “Driving on Salvia,” is one in a series of popular parodies featuring Erik J. Hoffstad, a production assistant in Los Angeles. In the two-and-a-half minute film, Mr. Hoffstad smokes salvia from a bong in a parked car — his friends made sure he did not have the real keys — and then freaks out when a cat unexpectedly pounces on the windshield.)
And, it’s not like the Lege doesn’t already have a boatload of serious issues lined up for next year, including — the franchise tax, TxDOT, school finance, TTC and more.
Hell, Rep. Anderson from Waco, I could probably find somethingdrug-like in DrPepper’s 23 flavor ingredients.
