When I teach about drugs, I have been asked more than once, about a drug known as salvia. This is a hardy plant that is grown all over the world (including Alberta). It produces a drug that can be smoked, drank, injected, etc. and is yet to have legal consequences surrounding it. I have read some info on it and will put together more for your viewing pleasure, but let me say this much - just because it is not illegal does not make it any less stupid! You can attain a high much the same as it you were on LSD (a big drug in the 60's - a chemical that causes hallucinations and altered reality and has it's users having bad trips more than 10 years after ever touching the stuff. Drugs mess up your brain FOREVER people!!). Anything that gives you a high is altering brain functioning whether illegal or not. Sniffing glue is also legal and one of the stupidest things you can do.
Use your heads when it comes to what you put in your body. Ask these questions: do I want to do something that could kill me? Do I want to do something that can make me stupider for the rest of my life? I hope and pray that the answer to both of those questions is a very large NO! If it is not, drop me a line and we will have coffee and chat for a bit!!
Also, my dear ladies and gentlemen, I have gathered more information from AADAC and Health Canada on different drugs, smoking (and quitting smoking) and parent resources regarding helping their young people who are using. Let me know if you are need of any of this information!
Blessings all!
