Nah, spread the word that the snorting the crystalized sweat of illegal immigrants will get you high.

Illegal immigrants will disappear overnight. ;-)

I believe I saw an article that said it could be made into biodiesel. If so, we might see a great lessening of its presence.........

It's been around for years. And it's every bit as terrifying as the article describes. An absolutely awful high.

Salvia divinorum (also known as Diviner's sage, Magic Mint, María Pastora, or simply Salvia, although the genus name is shared among many plants) is a psychoactive plant, a member of the sage genus and the Lamiaceae (mint) family.

The plant is grown by the Mazatec indigenous people of the Oaxaca mountains of southern Mexico in isolated, moist, and secret plots. It has been used as an entheogen by their shamans for centuries for healing during spirit journeys. It is thought to be a cultigen. No definitively wild populations have been found.

The Latin name Salvia divinorum literally translates to "sage of the seers". The genus name Salvia is derived from the Latin salvare, meaning "to heal" or "to save". The words salvation and saviour also come from this root.

The primary psychoactive constituent is a diterpenoid known as salvinorin A.

Another user described having a sense that he had become a native in the Amazon jungle and then merged with a tree.

ROFL. So Al Gore has now switched from smoking pot to mint leaves?
