Legal Highs!

The real thing? They are all psychoactive chemicals, I don't think they are exactly "fake" are they?

Salvia is a powerfull psychedelic and one of the most powerfull drugs known to man, weed simply falls by the wayside in comparison.

Salvia has been in use for thousands of years, just because people rebrand it in the UK and try to sell it off as a "herbal high" it doesn't make it any less real.

Likewise Mescaline and DMT are Class A substances only available in the UK through loopholes regarding the sale of plants matter.

"weed is the 'real thing' to salvia"

Weed is a childs play toy in comparison.

I think that a little bit of logic will prove it as not being a legal form of weed.

Active chemical in weed = THC
Active chemical in salvia = Salvinorin A

One makes you stoned, the other gives you an intense psychedelic experience.

Just because it's branded as a legal high and sometimes percieved as being a second rate cannabis it doesn't mean it is in any way some weak replacement. It just means that someone's cashed in on the idea and people automatically took that all for granted.

It might not be for you but doesn't mean that it should be automatically fobbed off. If you think it's a replacement for weed then yes you probably are better off not having it. Have a read of some these from people who knew what they were doing and then tell me the reports you heard were shit.
