I'm not sure how many here have heard of this. I've known about it for a while, but only recently heard of it's recreational use.
I have two teenagers, which in itself is enough work. I found a bottle of this stuff (liquid Salvia) in my daughter's drawer. I looked it up before saying anything, to make sure it's use isn't illegal yet, and as I suspected, it is not.
I didn't say anything right away, as I know the effects of Salvia.
Eventually we talked about this, and yes, the "poor kid" is grounded.
She easily ordered this offline with help from a friend. It was sent right to her friend's home. Nobody knew. It's not illegal. The effects are not generally long term. Perfect drug to use, right?
I just wanted to post this, for parents to understand the use of this drug. Now that more kids are learning about it, it may very well be illegalized in the future. It can cause very odd and dangerous trips. It can be used properly and obviously, improperly.
It can be smoked, and also comes in a liquid form. The liquid form is not swallowed, but rather held in the person's mouth for up to 5 minutes or so.
For many people, the effects are a complete relaxing feeling, almost a numbness. But, as my daughter reluctantly shared with me, the more Salvia liquid that is used, the better the trip. It can be diluted with water to take the burning effect of the liquid off.
Please, take note of this. It's not much different than a kid smoking pot. The immediate effects seem to be almost identical. Long-term effects, though, I'm not sure of.
