		<description>If the government makes salvia illegal (across the nation)...that would make me sick.  I'm pissed off that's it illegal in a few states already.  At this point, I'm ready to move the fuck out of this country.  I've never been proud of America (I respect our country, just not our leaders and decisions), and as time goes on, I get more upset with living here everyday.  Freedom?  Freedom my ass.  I'm not allowed to smoke a plant that I could find in my own backyard?  Well then why don't they make everything illegal!  I can go smoke a dandelion, and regardless of if it's bad for you or not, if it makes you high or not, for whatever reason, if enough people do it, they'll make it illegal just to collect our money.  Our government is more like a leech, they just suck our money and fun from us all.  My bags can be packed in a matter of a few days, Europe here I come.</description>

		<description>That's got to be the dumbest thing ever! So they plan on banning Salvia a smoking HERB which God himself put on this earth so that we could HAVE it, which in no way is addicting nor does harm to the body!

Why is it too that Marajuna can be LEGALIZED as medicinal drug, and the effects of Salvia which (to my own experiances) have been LESS then marajuna and been quite uplifiting in the right atmosphere, can be ENTIRELY BANNED?

Also too, isn't the government HAPPY about Salvia being legal, it means more MONEY for them! Soon their gonna realize that they made a bad move. Thats the one thing I never understand about our goverment, they think more on health and see things like Salvia and Marajuana as a killer, well get with the times guys! Tobacco kills more then Salvia or Marajuna, are you gonna outlaw tobacco next?

AND despite WHAT they do, people will ALWAYS find a way to get it, the plant salvia NATURALLY grows in a few places here in America, they'd have to exteminate all the plants of Salvia Divinorium. AND IF THEY'RE THAT STUPID, they'll probably end up ruining some part of America's ecosystem.</description>

		<description>Firstly I would like to say we don't need to be comparing Salvia to other drugs or anything really.  Everything should be based on it's own and not because it is better or worse than something else.  I agree that there are some really dangerous legal things (alcohol) but that's a different issue.  The fact is that salvia is not a harmful drug and is not known to inspire violence, rage, hate, or any negative emotions.  And quite the contrary it is used to go on a journey of the mind, to free ourselves.  This is the reason salvia should remain legal.  The government is really starting to take away peoples freedom here and its only a matter of time till it goes too far.  Now, the question is, how much can the people be pushed before they push back?</description>

		<description>I had not been following this untilIheard today, December 26,  on a radio newscast, that after January 1, 2008 salvia divinorum possession will be a "felony" in Illinois.  I will look up the text of the law but meanwhile:

1.  A Wikipedia article states this resulted from one (1) suicide of an 18-year-old man in Delaware.  Tobacco kills 5.3 million per year (WHO 2003 estimate), mainly through hot-burning overdose cigarets.  The Wiukipedia article mentioned alcohol and absinthe but not tobacco.  Maybe you should look into the complex set of reasons (government dependent on the tax money) why tobacco gets a free ride.

2.  Though I am not familiar with the case or what kind of "pipe" was found in the young man's vicinity, the question is: if a very small-diameter utensil were promoted for use in smoking herbs-- all species, including tobacco and cannabis-- could the last doubt be removed whether any legal restrictions on possession and use are necessary?  For more discussion see http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Smoking_Cessation.</description>

		<description>OK to invade a country and in the process bankrupt our country, kill over a million Iraqi's, and over 3,000 servicemen. But heaven forbid leaving the tiniest fraction of the population to enjoy a harmless herb. 

To hell with the government!

Get out of my life!</description>

		<description>They will hunt  and shut any door that can free the mind of the people. That's the job of the government. Especially one as that has roots of slavery. 
The spirits are beginning to call again on western people, and I don't think idiotic laws can prevent whats coming.</description>
