Orr credits local woman with push to criminalize plant

MONTGOMERY - The Alabama Senate on Thursday approved a bill that would classify an herb known as Salvia divinorum as a Schedule I controlled substance in the same category as drugs such as heroin, LSD and morphine.

Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, who sponsored the bill, credited Deborah Soule of Huntsville, director of the Partnership for a Drug-Free Community, with keeping the issue in front of lawmakers.


The legislation died in previous sessions.

It now goes to the House, where it will be handled by Rep. Laura Hall, D-Huntsville.

"Our agency has worked closely with the Alabama legislators to criminalize Salvia divinorum, a hallucinogenic herb that is gaining popularity among our youth," Soule said. "The passing of this bill through the Senate could not have happened without the tremendous support of the City of Huntsville and the Madison County delegation.

"We hope the House will now follow suit because this is so important for the safety of our youth."

At least 16 other states have already made the herb illegal, and similar bills are pending in the legislatures of six other states.

Salvia divinorum is a sage-like plant that is related to the colorful flowers called salvia or red and blue sage. It's usually smoked or eaten and has hallucinogenic properties when used in large amounts.
 
ugh what a waste of time and money, leave this stuff alone..

If they were smart they would be giving this out to middle school kids as part of the DARE program. To graduate the program you should have to 'do drugs' once and take a massive rip of extract. That would REALLY scare kids away from 'drugs' for a while! A hell of a lot longer than their propaganda does. If I thought all substances were as terrifying as a break through salvia experience I would have stayed the hell away lol

good plan. minor problem. what about the kids(like me) that loved S D the firs few times. maby a 3 toke your out plan;)
 
course not, methamphetamine or PCP, or even cocaine isnt schedule 1. morph might be 3 with tons of other shit init, right?
 
Of course Morphine is schedule 2. It has medicinal use. Heroin (I believe) is even more effective at killing pain but is schedule 1 due to the abuse potential. Even methamphetamine is schedule 2. I think it's a silly way of scheduling drugs personally.
 
yeah for real Salvia does more good scaring would be drug-users from using other drugs then it does to act as some kind of 'gate-way' drug... making it schedule I is ridiculous... this has already been done in like what? most of the country right?

I love this idea! <3
Free drugs for kids!
Can you make it through, kiddies? If so, you are on your way...

One idea for a new scheduling system:

One must use schedule 3 drugs successfully, without freaking out or dying, before one gets a license to use schedule 2 drugs. If someone freaks out, they need to practice with other schedule 3 drugs, and amass at least 10 successful experiences before proceeding to schedule 2. Successful use of schedule 2 drugs permits one to use schedule 1 drugs.

The first time with a new drug must always occur under the guidance of a mentor.

All drugs are free, provided by the government as part of "social security".

Those without a schedule 1 license cannot serve as politicians, since they cannot understand the minds of the people, let alone stay steady in the storms of their own minds.
 
HAHAHAHA nice slim. I like it.

"The legislation died in previous sessions.

Ah, they had to wait for a bit while they bribed the politicians!
Nice move, assholes.

This is depressing, since when I read the title I thought it said "Hallucinogenic herb PILL passes Senate"

I was like WTF!? AWESOME! I thought it was some new hallucinogenic drug in a standardised dose in pill form lol That would have made too much sense.
 
Sweet, salvia is illegal now because some stupid ass bitch can't control her own children. Oh my little johnny smoked this plant and then he acted like an idiot and died. Time to blame everyone who had nothing to do with it instead of looking in the fucking mirror and pushing blame where it belongs. i hate this country. as soon as i have enough money saved up, i am outta here.
 
Any substance that you have have fun with; They ban it...
Anything worth money, they tax....
Don't like what we say, Threaten you with War....
Forced to get health care.... STFU and Pay for it...

America imo is the Worlds Number 2 biggest dick swinger...Israel would have to be number 1
 
I tell ya what, I just recently moved from my home of 20+ years to an area 300 miles away. I am only 30 miles from Canada and wonder why the fuck I don't just leave.

It's easy to get off topic on issues like this but let's look at the real picture here. In my opinion there are politicians that have an agenda for whatever reason and push their agenda on others. Now, let's say politician "A" has the agenda of banning Salvia. He pitches it to politician "B" who doesn't like the idea. Well "A" goes out and finds a case where kids smoke Salvia (Thanks Youtube) and makes Politician "B" though fucking "ZZZZZ" watch it and all of a sudden he has the support to pass it.

This isn't the way this country should run, but it's the way it -IS- run anymore, and the only way that it is going to be changed is to change it ourselves. That means not coming on here and ranting and raving about it, take action, contact your local represenatives and senators if possible, and talk to them. I have done it before and I will tell you it is worth the time.

If we want our collective voice to be heard about things like this we have to talk to the people that make the difference, not rant to each other about how it's unfair.
