I hate the media...

[humage]

This is one of the many reasons why I hate the media so much, obviously this news article is extremely biased and one-sided.

Yeah I saw this one too, same old bullshit. There was some major national coverage on Salvia recently, we had a huge influx of orders and traffic...

Is anyone from FL here? We need to get some people together to attend the public hearing that I'm sure will be coming up soon.

My parents live in FL, but I doubt I could get them to speak on salvia's behalf.. hehehehe

I don't understand quotes like "It's much more powerful than marijuana".... :/  Isn't that like saying ginger ale is much more powerful than applesauce?

The media these days seem to be run by a bunch of ignorant idiots.

The media, especially American media rides on the nations fear.

It seems like whenever something happens, it was always SO FUCKING TERRIBLE!!! SALVIA WILL FUCKING KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T FUCKING LOCK YOUR KIDS TO YOUR FUCKING CELLAR AND THEN PRAISE THE LORD!!! ALSO, SALVIA IS USUALLY SOLD BY BLACK MEN!!! TIS TRUE!!! WATCH OUT!!!

....

Anyway, salvia doesn't make anyone commit suicide for example (refering to the story). Depressing life does.
I am sorry, I can't express my hatred to that article with words and intelligence. And how could I, since the story is plain stupidity and ignorance?

It is just like MJ was in the '30s all over again.

One or two of my experiences have been disturbing enough that I can imagine someone who already has other severe problems in life may jump off if they experience something like that.  But that's probably someone who would do it anyway, maybe just wait a while longer before ending it.  I find that it brings my life situation and my problems into clear mental focus in a way.  I could see myself at 14 or 15  voluntarily leaving this world if I had smoked salvia back then.  Remember, these stories are based on some kernel of truth, and these things definitely CAN be dangerous in the wrong situation.  I can't say that anything we as humans do is totally without risk.  I wouldn't try to convince anyone that there was NO danger.

For days after smoking salvia(and having a very anxiety filled trip) I found myself smiling for no reason, and going from a somewhat neutral type of mood too happy.

[JD1stTimer]

Yeah, it's cool like that.  I think maybe on the bad trips you are seeing how bad something COULD be, so afterwards you are glad at how good your life is compared to that bad possibility?

Ya, for adults SD has been found to be rather anti-depressive in effect. Even days after the a low dose of SD had worn off.

[me^nasty]

ya like on fox 11 news they did some stuff on salvia kinda pissed me off cuz it might not be legal in cali soon :/

you have to remember the only reason the media broadcasts shock is because people watch it.

just tell people to stop watching and the media will follow

remember we have the right to vote
