Following in the footsteps of California comes New Mexico!

I'd say this bill should be encouraged and, if I can write it in time, I am sending a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee to encourage them to pass the bill.

I whole heartily agree, I encourage it as well. The fine is very good deterrent.

An old professor once said "We all know that teenagers drink, smoke, and do what ever else they want to do. This is fine by me as long as they come to class and are ready to learn and are prepared for what they need to be. It's up to them if they want to come to class, and it's not my duty keeping them in here; if they choose to party, it's their choice. ... We have laws in place to keep Tobacco and Alcohol out of the hands of minors, minors being anyone 13 and under. We all know that if you're 15, 16 or 17: It's readily available."

He makes a very good point, I was using Salvia when I was 16 and 17: Some people think that this is a bad idea: but I acted a lot more responsible using it than anyone that I know who ever uses substances.
I have always used the 'moto' that substances should be respected, and I believe anyone who is mature enough should be freely available to use it. Considering that I agree with my old chemistry teacher: I doubt that anyone in that 5 years difference will EVER get caught in New Mexico, California, or Maryland with Salvia, it might happen, but I doubt it.

Happy Growin',

This bill is now dead, and it appears more bills won't emerge until 2010.
