Is your teen smoking Salvia , or do you suspect they are into a new trendy drug? Do you need help, support, advice, on how to intervene?

I'm Producing a segment to warn parents about the dangers of Salvia.

For now I removed the email addy in your post. You will want to show more credentials then just an email addy if you want to have members contact you.

Its primary psychoactive constituent is a diterpenoid known as salvinorin A[8][9]—a potent κ-opioid receptor agonist. Salvinorin A is unique in that it is the only naturally occurring substance known to induce a visionary state this way. Salvia divinorum can be chewed, smoked, or taken as a tincture to produce experiences ranging from uncontrollable laughter to much more intense and profoundly altered states. The duration is much shorter than for some other more well known psychedelics; the effects of smoked salvia typically last for only a few minutes. The most commonly reported after-effects include an increased feeling of insight and improved mood, and a sense of calmness and increased sense of connection with nature


Not sure what the purpose of your post is but this is a naturally growing plant and is very legal in the states.
It's rather harmless and the effects don't last very long...
It's been used by medicine men for hundreds of years....

Besides...who's against uncontrollable laughter and profoundly altered states....
Sounds like this place.....alright who's been smoking the garden again...

LMAO...Too funny.....

When I first read it I thought it said saliva....I was like WTF is wrong with you...

I'm not sure why this reminded me of work but I was asked to do a segment for AF news on the new energy drinks that have alcohol. I'm not going to do it b/c I hate being on camera, but it's a good idea to warn kids to watch out for these things b/c you can't tell the difference b/w the energy drinks and the ones with alcohol unless you read the fine print. The store employees can barely tell the difference. Again I'm not sure what triggered this...maybe I hit my head harder than I thought.

Know what....I'd like to know a list of the ones that do contain alcohol.....any chance you know which ones????
