Salvia in the news: "A warning about a popular new drug"

This is just typical media bullshit designed to scare the sheepish parents who dont know shag all about any drugs. It seems every week theres a new killer drug on the market. Most people dont have the common sense to question a story. They just think to themselves "oh hes a journalist he must know what hes talking about," when in fact he probley never bothered to check any facts at all.

Another thing who the hell would use salvia at a party? It would be a pretty boring party with everyone off in their own little world. I doubt salvia will ever become very popular at all. Stupid media.
 
"Salvia may be tied to the suicide death of Brett Chidester, who set himself on fire."

The kid didn't set himself on fire at all. He locked himself in a tent and lit a charcoal burner or something, died from carbon monoxide... and he wasn't on salvia at the time either. My friends knew this kid, he lived near me, and that is not how he killed himself.

I really hope salvia doesn't become illegal. I really hope it's not already illegal in DE
 
My Email to this King 5 News

In response to the article "A Warning About a Popular New Drug," I
must say the lack of knowledge regarding the subject written about,
Salvia, is nearly offensive. Perhaps journalists and reporters who
write articles should actually know what they are writing about.
And no, getting some vague quote by the most illiterate user of the
drug you could find really doesnt cut it. "It messed me up good. It
got my heart beating really fast,it was hard to breath, hard to
concentrate it, made me thirsty." What are you trying to describe
here, excercise fatigue? The attempt at demonizing Salvia by
correlating it with LSD was also rather unfounded, for if the
author of this article had any clue about either drug they would
have realized that not only the effects are quite different, but
the chemical stuctures are so distant that horrendous would be a
mild verb in describing this informational travesty. And what else
did you say? Party drug? Party Drug? Party drugs are usually drugs
that are taken at parties. Anyone who is careless enough to take
Salvia at a party couldnt be considered competant to answer
questions, at least ones that should merit use in a informational
article. Someone who can't realize this definately doesn't merit a
job in reporting either. Responsibility is not shown by people who
smoke Salvia at parties, drive drunk, or publish ridiculously
misinformational articles. Perhaps if you would like to help the
populace of Seattle in assesing this "popular party drug" you could
actually publish some reliable information. Reliable information
stimulates responsibilty, yet when people are so concerned about
the detrimental effects of drugs reliable information is few and
far between in the churning oceans of misinformation and ignorance
that the article "A Warning About a Popular New Drug" has become a
part of.

Sincerely,
A Concerned Informant


Take that shitheads! I made some spelling errors, and put verb instead of adjective, but yet I think I got my point across.
