This is why I hate disclosing some of my sources... The DEA is watching, always. They are the bloody idiots that tried to illegalize apricot/peach pits when it was discovered that they were a source of Laetrile and Pangamic acid (the former was being used for its anticancer abilities and the latter for its health abilities as being the new vitamen B15)! Yet they allow dangerous NSAIDs, etc. It all depends on who's complaining and how much money they throw around... Grrrrrr!
Salvia is sold as an 'incense' purely to get around the DEA. The same as Butyl Nitrate is sold as 'head cleaner' instead of 'poppers'. Um...oh hell, go look it up!
The leaves are fine (of the Salvia)...it's just that you don't know 1/ how old they are, 2/ the concentration of the alkaloid content. Frankly, putting ANYTHING into your lungs other than air is dicey. Shamanically, I have used alot of different plant allies in my studies....but I do not endorse the recreational use as it demeans my practice and generates more fuel for the DEA. (IMG:
