I got an e-mail alert, about "Salvia Divinorum." I had never heard of it. It's drug, that is not illegal in most states, including my state of Michigan. " . . . it is becoming a drug of choice, particularly among teens and people in their early 20s," says this article from the Oakland Press (Detroit newspaper).
It appears to be an herbal type plant that kids are using to smoke, that causes a dreamlike high for 15-20 minutes. It is a very accessible drug. It even mentions in the article how you need to talk to kids about this like you would the choking game. It seems like there's so much in our worlds to warn our kids of.
Where's the bubble wrap to keep them safe and the wood to build fences around our house? Unfortunately, it won't work. We need to keep hedging our children with our prayers.
