Kids are Getting High Off of Salvia and It’s Legal!!!

Posted by Bossip Staff

chappelle_drugie

A lot of kids try to experiment with drugs. They normally start off with marijuana and then go for something harder or even prescription drugs. Well now, they don’t need a prescription, nor will you get in trouble for buying it. It’s called Salvia and over the past 3 years, it has been getting worse.

A trendy new drug is targeting teens. It’s easily accessible and some say highly dangerous.

Salvia is a hallucinogenic that has been outlawed in 14 states, but it is still legal in Georgia and there are no laws limiting who can buy it. CBS Atlanta’s Wendy Saltzman found Salvia for sale in several metro Atlanta stores.

Most smoke shops like Smoke 9-Eleven here in Roswell don’t allow kids under 18 into their stores to buy Salvia, but it only takes a few clicks of a mouse for kids of any age to get on line and get this drug delivered to their door.

Salvia is the hottest high for teens looking for a rush. They can smoke it, chew it, or drink it.

The new “it” drug is being splashed across the internet with teens marketing to teens, posting their experiences online for everyone to see. Shawn Burdge of Smoke 9-Eleven says Salvia hits within 30-seconds of smoking it and the high, which he describes as an “out of body” experience, lasts for several minutes.

“It’s a hallucinogen and it’s potent,” said Burdge. “Basically what I was seeing was the room, but basically like a cartoon version of the room.”

That escape has been compared to using LSD and may sound inviting to thrill-seeking teens.

“Even if it affects you just a little bit, it is still drastic at the same time. It’s still a removal from day to day life,” said Burdge.

The Drug Enforcement Administration said Salvia is potentially dangerous and has officially tagged it as a “drug of concern.”

“What we are seeing are some very extreme psychoactive reactions to the substance. Basically losing all control at that time, of where they are at, what they are doing. Sometimes you will see them fall over from uncontrollable laughter, things like that,” said DEA spokesperson Rodney Benson.

Benson said the DEA is evaluating Salvia to potentially place the drug on the federal controlled substances list.

“Clearly there is an abuse. We are starting to see states around the country on their own beginning to outlaw that substance,” said Benson. In Georgia, not only is it legal, but there is no age limit on who can buy it.

“Another concern for me is the ease on the availability to get that substance,” said Benson.

Anyone can buy Salvia online with no ID and no age restrictions and have it delivered overnight.

But what some say is a dangerous substance that needs federal control, others say is mostly hype.

“It’s not as deadly as they seem to think it is,” said Burdge.

It could took take the DEA a year or more to make that ruling about whether or not to regulate Salvia and make it a controlled narcotic.

  23. Love God

    ATNN MNGMNT:
    Will you guy and gals please remove this article entirely. The USAF did an article on this, and ended up informing too many people about the drug. They i turn ran with it.
    I am asking because I don’t want to see anymore of my…our people trying new drugs. Bossip has been my fav site for about 3 yrs now-every week. The site has never put out info like this.
    Your site makes me laugh and keeps us up to date-but always in a positive way! This article will make peeps google salvia. Once they see how cheap it is-they might try it (***** its legal)
    Lets not open that gate.

    -Love God
    Your friendly neighborhood bombero

  24. Jamaquina.Cubana

  25. Superwoman

    Thanks for the update BOSSIP eventhough Dr. Phil did a show about this at least a year ago! And, thanks for keeping us informed with these scholarly clips via YouTube.

  26. Jamaquina.Cubana

    @ Love God …
    You’re right b/c I had NO IDEA such a thing existed until right now! Bossip’s only advertising instead of schooling! So now every ‘follower’ that reads bossip is gonna go out and get it! Esp. since they deliver!!

  27. Mr. K

    No Thanks. Weed hasn’t done me wrong yet. All that hallucination ***** is not cool. This dude gone end up in Deebo’s pigeeon coop!!


  28. Life is soooo funny, I was at an event over the weekend and they were selling this crap (madison wisconsin)I was like what the ***** is it they said it was an hallucinogen. I was like huh (like LSD)I think I am gonna p*****.

  29. mojojojo

    why the hell would u want to be that high? WTF i dont get it and his friends are the worst! white boys think the most stupid ***** is funny. if he would have had a damn stoke would that have been funny too….*****ing idiots

  30. chaka1

    If you got rid of white kids, you would get rid of the illegal drug trade. They will experiment and do more drugs than anything I have ever witnessed.

  31. lady

    why would someone want to do a drug that causes you to hallucinate horrifying things?

    Getting high is about mellowing out…relaxing, listening to some good music…laughing with friends…and eating some good food afterwards…

    YOUNG PEOPLE STICK TO WEED AND IN THE WORDS OF KATT WILLIAMS…REGULAR WEED.

  32. tmack09

    who wants to feel like that…that crap looks stupid. I guess since i neva really got down wit drugs i dont see the point. who even knos what the long term affects are??? makes me wanna go out n preach to the next generation…

  33. Moreaces

    Well, I guess I live under a rock, because I have never heard of that mess before,, Why would you want to take something that made you act like that..

  34. Oh Well...

    LOL…Salvia is NEW???? what the hell? I smoked it over 5 years ago. not a fan…it sort of gives you temporary paralysis…NOT fun…it’s a trippy drug.


  35. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WANNA SEE ***** THAT’S NOT THERE.. ***** THAT’S THERE BE *****IN ME UP ENOUGH..SMH.. I remember back in the 80s folks was eating “ice” in Bmore and dying by the dozens..wtf??

  36. The Best I Ever Had

    That clip, WTF? It was wrong to laugh but I couldn’t help my self. That is something I will never try, just stick to the plain old fashioned mary jane….(well not plain all the time, lls)

  37. Alrighty Then...

    I’ll stick with my good ole ‘ya-dig’. Too old to be trying “new” drugs.

  38. Ms. Littlejohn

    Awww man! LOL!! *****in’ white kids! If somebody had some, I might try it, won’t order it though. Scared it’ll be wack.

  39. jeru02

    please. that ***** is so weak. bought some in a smoke shop, and i added it to my trees. i felt drunk for like 5 minutes. shoulda bought more weed instead


  40. I ran into this website a while back that had peoples testamonials about doing salvia. I sat and read that page for about 2 hours it was crazy. This one girl said as soon as she puffed it the foor opened up and a black figure (that had like tv static running over it’s body) grabbed her leg and started pulling her through the floor. you know when you trip like that it ain’t nno snapping outta that ***** if it get scary. It lasts 10-25 mins. but can feel like eternity, and your physical body is incapacitated while this is going on. You’re sitting on the floor like a zombie anything can happen to you. One young man was trippin on his balcony even leaned over thee edge and said Marge Simpson appeared and told him to jump. My bottom line please be careful when experimenting with this drug

  41. aa88

    I’ve never tried salvia, but it’s not a drug. It doesn’t stick in your system and it’s not addictive. There’s no lasting substance in your urine or blood stream or whatever, maybe memory of a trip (good or bad) that you were on. If I’m correct, I believe salvia was and is used by the shamans. It’s really suppose to be for meditation, a kind of healing process. It’s not for some stupid kids trying to get a quick high and post it on YouTube. They’re going to end up making that ***** illegal, and even though I don’t touch it, I’ma feel bad for those that do. Kids always messing stuff up.

  42. Nakia

    i’m a smoker and i tried salvia once. it’s not my kind of high. my body was numb. i thought i was someplace else. i really thought i was there. it was a pretty place though, but i don’t like the feeling of not being in control. i think if i wasn’t sitting crosslegged on my bed at home i may have wandered off somewhere.

    that combined with the fact that the effects don’t last that long like a nice long high with munchies…it’s not my cup of tea….or cup of salvia for that matter. but i can definitley see how shamans would find it useful. if i hadn’t been so freaked out by the fact that i’d hallucinated i may have been able to interpret something from the “vision” had.

  43. First Timer

    I tried saliva like four years ago in college. Some friends of mine at that time had bought it over the internet. I’ll be honest this thing too potent…. had me trippin my ***** off for a short amount of time. I cant believe this thing is legal and weed isn’t. Whats worse is that weed is practically legal in California and salvia is illegal in the golden state.

  44. First Timer

    Oh yea dont watch TV when your on Salvia.

  45. asds

    not for us. clown the 1st rapper rappin’ about it!

  46. TM30

    Call me old fashion, there is no way in he11, I’m ordering any type of drug or anything that can be used as a drug over the internet.

  47. HookedonPhonics

    WTF… thats some other *****.. I’ll p*****..

  48. They Call Me...AJ

    I read about this stuff like 3 years ago when I was in HS. I must have been high (jp) when i was reading it though, cuz i swear it said saliva,lol. I was like “you can get high off of saliva?” But anyways I dont do drugs. I’ve seen what happens when I get drunk, so who knows what I would do if I took drugs…

  49. htown

    That $hit was hilarious… i felt kind of bad for laughing at the kid but that $hit was funny as hell.

  50. Salvia is not to be messed wit

    I tried salvia 2 years ago ONCE and never again! That sh*t is not worth it. There is an outta body experience, an unpleasant and annoying short one. Most people who try it, never do it again cuz it’s nothing like weed. It just screws with you for a couple minutes…I don’t need anything increasing my annoyance.

  51. peechgurl

    i wanna try it!!!!! lmao

  52. joni.xoo

    stfu bossip
    it’s not a high
    it’s a hallucinogen.
    Ohhh the ignorance of the americas.
    this stuff has been around for ages.it’s a herb, and there are hundreds, maybe thousands of other herbs that give the same effect, or something even better/worse..depending on how you look at it.
    The trip lasts for no more than a minute. really, it’s no big deal o.o

  53. justme

    Love God – Bossip is not run or owned by African Americans. This post is the equivalent to placing crack in the black community in the 80’s. The purpose of placing this post regarding a cheap drug, just like this site is to keep African Americans down. The problem is, ignorant slave mentality black folks will again fall for the bait and become useless t society. BOSSIP IS RUN AND OWNED BY A COMPANY CALLED GORILLA NATION WHOSE OWNERS ARE WHITE AND MIDDLE EASTERN! THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND THEY HAVE PLANTS SUCH AS KIGALI AND I AM LEGEND TO STIR UP SH*T. NOTICE “I AM LEGEND” POSTED THE WEB SITE TO BUY THE STUFF. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

  54. ubercool

    ummmm yeah..the government is good for this…they put the drug ut there to see how much it will catch on…if it gets popular they make it illegal so they can profit from it in the illegal drug trade…soooo no cuz thats just how crack got started…i had some friends who did this ish and taped it and really were trying to persuade me to try it like it was the new weed… i had seen the youtube videos like a year before and already knew better…salvia is definitely a no-go….

  55. Anissa

    It’s all hype. This is not WEED 2: Electric Boogaloo.
    It’s just a mildly hallucinogenic strain of mint. The effect doesn’t last more than 5-10 minutes, if that. And the more you do it, the less effect it has. Not to mention it smells horrible.
    The best part about it, is watching somebody else do it and you can do that for free on YouTube.

    Plants aren’t drugs. Drugs are drugs.
    Like Kat said, aspirin is perfectly legal but if you take 13 of those *****s, it will be your last headache.

  56. gorgeous

    i’ve heard of it last october, bossip is soo late lol. never tried it, not intend to, i’m happy with my trees. this dude told me how he tried it and almost got ran over by a truck, cuz he jumped on the road away from the wall that he thought was gonna eat him…yeah, gotta be careful with hallucinogens guys

  57. gorgeous

    it’s actually ridiculous considering the effects it has on ppl that it is legal (in ontario anyways)and marijuana isn’t!

  58. bunnz

    I am terrified for my children. This is crazy. This post is a double edged sword. On one hand, it gives us information on the other it gives other people information to buy and try this crap. Please use your mind people. The enemy is busy and getting anyone willing to be taken…doing stuff likes this practically invites the enemy in to dine and wine with you, stealing your soul. Now the biggest trick the enemy plays is making you believe this is harmless and even more that he doesn’t even exist. Hm….be stronger than this people. Resist.

  59. b

    shyt i would try it… once..

  60. Marxism

    Sorry to dissapoint but this herbal exctract it’s been around in europe as long as i can remember and it never caused much problem, it’s just one of the hundreds herbs with psicoactive potencial. The point is, it’s very hard to get addicted to since it’s effects are short, not addictive and once you have tried there’s no mystery in it, plus causes you the biggest hedeache.
    father’s and mothers, if you find your son is gettin addicted to this then they have a problem with addictions in general, not with salvia, for sure they will find something to get addicted to if this is not abailable, it’s like gettin addicted to an amusment park attraction ride. Dont get caught in the mistake of level all the substances to the same “drug” level, that’s simplifying a very complex issue.

  61. Vonne Loca

    I’ve heard of this drug and thought it was ree-*****-you-lous! I don’t know about other people but I have an overactive imagination and my dreams are bat***** crazy enough. (You wouldn’t believe the things I dream of) I wish I would freak myself out on purpose like that. However I know I’m wrong for it but I’d get a kick out of seeing someone act a fool on Salvia.

  62. trillionz

    ive tried it and it was cool just had me laughing

  63. trillionz

    ive tried it and it was cool just had me laughing and its safe

  64. D3xt3r420

    @ I hate the “N” word…

    People with limited vocabularies really get on my last nerve, downtalking others for having the strength of character to make their own decisions instead of listening to berating individuals with bad grammar…

    “KEEP IT EASY, WE ARE RAISING, NOT ME, SOCIETY, ARE RAISING CHILDREN TO BE WEAK MINDED FOLLOWERS, I KNOW WEAK MINDED ADULTS SO WHY WOULD WE THINK THEIR CHILDREN WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT. FOLLOWERS ARE THE WORST. BE STRONG BE INDEPENDENT AND LOVE YOURSELF IS WHAT I TRY TO TELL MY COUSINS, I AINT WEAK ***** PEOPLE”

    Really??? You “ain’t” weak, huh? How about educated? You’re not that either, are you? I’d rather be smart and weak than stupid and strong any day. At least us “weak” individuals were able to gather our thoughts cohesively through the fog of our highs, and step out of the follower mentality long enough to demonstrate that drugs are not the downfall of society as we know it, it’s the failure of our educational system to teach people how to make an informed decision. Think for yourself, do your own research, and make up your own mind. Don’t listen to what these “strong” imbeciles think they know.
