RE:Salvia may wind up on banned list
It's a little sad that people equivocate banning a substance with it's success in keeping people away from it.
As we all know, youngsters want to do things that are illegal, regardless of thinking whether or not they should.
People need to be educated about drugs in a manner that decriminalizes addiction and treats it as an illness.
And as for one-off uses of curious teens, famous or not, if teens were properly educated on how salvia affects your body and how most people who use drugs are either curious or feel there is something missing in their lives, then they would be more inclined to grow up and make their own decisions, whether wise or not.
Criminalizing drugs dramatically inflates the price, which is profitable for whoever sells it, and financially and morally bankrupts the user.
Decriminalizing takes power away from the dealers,
Who benefits?
