Officials Attempt to Outlaw an Herbal High

Salvia is an herb that can produce short, intense, hallucinogenic trips when it's smoked. For years, the substance went relatively unnoticed by law enforcement personnel - but it has recently garnered the attention of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, as well as several local governments that are trying to ban it.
"A dozen states have outlawed or begun regulating salvia since 2005, including Delaware, whose law was pushed by a mother who believes salvia contributed to her son's suicide. Massachusetts is among more than a dozen other states considering limiting or banning its sale."
People who have used the drug describe intense out-of-body experiences, but many say it's "not something that makes you feel good," and claim that the high is not worth the drug's cost. Source: Boston Globe
