Just how long will it take for the goons
in the Federal Government to make this
newly discovered drug illegal and start
jailing people who use or sell it?

It's a Mexican herb called  salvia divinorum
or diviner's sage. It's used by shamans
seeking spiritual visions and atheists who
just want to see hallucinations.

At the time of this writting the herb and drug are legal.

The plant grows in the area of Oaxaca which is
south west of Mexico City. In modern times the 
plant was discovered by Alvert Hofmann and 
Gordon Wasson in 1962.

Who knows maybe in a few years we can be spending
billions of dollars to outfit Federal goons in
black Nija outfits to jail people who take this
herb.
