For God's sake, don't you have anything better to do but pretend all my posts are negative? Get a life and get over yourself, hypocrite.

sorry for the trouble i have caused. but i fell that the general section doesnt give threads like this enough attention. can there be a sub thread to the smoking and usage called Salvia?

Don't worry; you didn't cause any trouble. Some people just like to make a big deal out of nothing. For future referrence, though, Pandora's Box is where salvia threads go (and any other drug that isn't weed).

Taken straight from Erowid:

Alaska #
SB 38 was submitted Mar 19, 2007, which would add Salvia divinorum and salvinorin A to the state's list of scheduled substances. The current bill would allow controlled use for medical research. Reference: HESS Minute. (thanks S) (last updated May 2, 2007)
California #
AB 259 was introduced Feb 5, 2007. If passed, the bill would add Salvia divinorum to the list of Schedule I controlled substances in the state of California. The bill was amended Mar 12, 2007 to include salvinorin A in ban. It failed in committee on Mar 27, 2007 (3 to 2) but could be reintroduced. References: Committee deliberations and history of the bill. (last updated May 1, 2007) (thanks S)
Delaware #
SB259 ("Brett's Law") was signed on May 2, 2006, adding Salvia divinorum to schedule I of the Delaware state controlled substances law. Reference. Salvinorin A is not covered by the law. (thanks L)
Florida #
Effective July 1, 2008, Salvia divinorum and salvinorin A have been added to Florida's list of Schedule I controlled substances, making them illegal to possess, buy, or sell. The law exempts from control any drug product containing Salvia divinorum or salvinorin A that has been approved by the FDA. (see text of bill).
Georgia #
Senate Bill 295, introduced Mar 1, 2007, would outlaw salvinorin A and the growth of Salvia divinorum "other than for esthetic, landscaping, or decorative purposes". Violations of this law would be a misdemeanor under the currently-proposed bill. Bill was approved by senate and moved on to the House on Mar 27th. See SB295 text and history. (last updated May 21, 2007)
Illinois #
Effective Jan 1, 2008, Salvia divinorum (including any plant part, extraction, or preperation) is included in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act list of Schedule I substances, making it illegal to possess or sell. (text of law) (Illinois Controlled Substances Act) News: New Year, New Laws, Dec 25 2007 Chicago Tribune.
Iowa #
Senate Study Bill 1051 was introduced in January 2007, proposing to add Salvia divinorum and salvinorin A to the state's list of Schedule I controlled substances. The bill would have made it a class "C" felony to "manufacture, deliver, or possess with the intent to manufacture or deliver, Salvia divinorum or salvinorin A". The bill was replaced by the nearly-identical bill SB 226. Reference: ODCP Update. (last updated May 1, 2007) (thanks S)
Kansas #
On April 24, 2008 Kansas SB 481 was signed into law, adding Salvia divinorum to the state's list of Schedule I controlled substances, the most restrictive category. The law restricts "all parts of the plant presently classified botanically as Salvia divinorum, whether growing or not..." and "any extract from any part of such plant, and every compound, manufacture, salts, isomers and salts of isomers [of the plant]...", which would presumably include salvinorin A. (see text of bill)
Louisiana #
Effective Aug 8, 2005 (signed into law Jun 28, 2005) Louisiana Act No 159 makes 40 plants illegal, including S. divinorum, when intended for human consumption. The law specifically excludes the "possession, planting, cultivation, growing, or harvesting" of these plants if used "strictly for aesthetic, landscaping, or decorative purposes." (Text of HLS_05RS-52 (orig) and Update Jun 2005)
Maine #
On May 15, 2007 state bill LD 66 was signed into law, making it illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to purchase, possess, or use Salvia divinorum or salvinorin A. The original bill, which would have banned Salvia altogether, was rewritten after public hearings. (last updated Jun 1, 2007) (thanks M, S)
Missouri #
On Aug 28, 2005 House Bill 633 was incorporated into 195.017 of Missouri's drug regulation statutes. S. divinorum and salvinorin A became Schedule I substances in that state. As far as Erowid knows, Missouri was the first state in the U.S. to schedule S. divinorum or its active chemical. http://www.moga.state.mo.us/statutes/chapters/chap195.htm. Violation of this law is a felony. (thanks Q)

<!--The city of St. Peters also passed an ordinance banning sales of Salvia divinorum to minors aged 17 or younger.--><!-- Jan 2003. (St Peters Journal - Jan 26, 2003)
HB165 introduced in state legislature, proposing addition of S.divinorum to list of scheduled substances. No hearing scheduled as of Jan 2005. (MO House of Representatives) -->
New Jersey #
Senate Bill 1867 and the identical Assembly Bill 3139 which would classify Salvia divinorum and salvinorin A as Schedule I controlled substances in the state, were submitted on Apr 6, 2006. As of May 2, 2007, neither bill has been subject to a vote, and both are probably dead. References: Press Release. (last updated May 2, 2007) (thanks S)

Mention in news about Northern Monmouth includes the following curious text: "GRAND TOUR: Two 15-year-old borough males were charged on Sept. 10 with illegal possession of Salvia divinorum with intent to distribute by Sgt. Kevin Roake." (thanks E)
New York #
State Bill 610, introduced Jan 3, 2007, would prohibit sale of Salvia divinorum. The bill was re-designated S00695 and passed the State Senate on Feb 28, 2007. It has been awaiting vote in the State Assembly for some time. The bill does not specify control of salvinorin A. Track bill history here. (last updated May 2, 2007) (thanks S)

A similar law failed to pass in 2005. Reference: State Targets Tripped Out Herb - Long Island Press, Jun 16 2005. (thanks E) (last updated May 1, 2007)
North Dakota #
Senate Bill 2317 was signed into law April 26, 2007, adding Salvia divinorum and salvinorin A to the state's list of Schedule I controlled substances. Reference: bill history. (thanks S)
Ohio #
House bill 215 was introduced May 9, 2007. If passed, the bill will add Salvia divinorum (but not salvinorin A) to the state's list of Schedule I controlled substances.
Oklahoma #
Any substance/product containing Salvia divinorum that "has been enhanced, concentrated, or chemically or physically altered" is controlled under the Oklahoma Uniform Controlled Substances Act on Nov 1, 2006, after state bill 2485 was signed into law on May 26, 2006. Text of bill available HB2485_CCS.RTF. We assume this means that plain leaf, unprepared, would not be controlled under this law. (thanks B, DK, JR)
Oregon #
House bill 2494 was entered into the house. If passed the bill will criminalize salvinorin A and Salvia divinorum:

Creates crime of unlawful possession of salvinorin A or Salvia divinorum. Punishes by maximum of one year's imprisonment, $6,250 fine, or both. Creates crime of unlawful manufacture or delivery of salvinorin A or Salvia divinorum. Punishes by maximum of 20 years imprisonment, $375,000 fine, or both. Requires State Board of Pharmacy to classify salvinorin A or Salvia divinorum as Schedule I controlled substance.
[ http://landru.leg.state.or.us/07reg/measures/hb2400.dir/hb2494.intro.html ]

As of May 2, 2007, this bill does not appear to have passed. Two similar bills previously failed to pass in 2003. (thanks J, S)
Pennsylvania #
In 2006, House Bill 2657 was introduced, which would have added Salvia divinorum to the state's list of Schedule I controlled substances. The bill died without being enacted.

On March 29, 2007, Senate Bill 710 was introduced which would add Salvia divinorum to the state's list of Schedule I controlled substances. The bill has been referred to the Judiciary Committee, and is currently in limbo. (last updated Apr 30, 2007)
Tennessee #
Tennessee has made it a class A misdemeanor to "knowingly produce, manufacture, distribute, possess or possess with intent to produce, manufacture, or distribute the active chemical ingredient in the hallucinogenic plant Salvia divinorum A", along with the strangely-worded caveat that this prohibition does not apply to "the possession, planting, cultivation, growing, or harvesting of such hallucinogenic plant strictly for aesthetic, landscaping, or decorative purposes." Upon approval, SB3247 was designated TCA 39-17-452. The law took effect on Jul 1, 2006. See also: Ban on hallucinogenic passed by House (thanks E and MG) (last updated May 2006)
Texas #
March 2007 saw the introduction of three bills to control Salvia divinorum in the state of Texas. All three of them appear to have failed, and new action is not expected until the next legislative session. The three bills are HB3784 (Bill history), HB 2347 (Bill history), and HB 1796 (Bill history). (thanks S, C) (last updated Aug 16, 2007)
Utah #
In 2007 House Bill 190 was introduced but did not pass. The bill would have added Salvia divinorum and salvinorin A to the state's list of controlled substances. Reference: Salt Lake Tribune, Oct 17 2007. (last updated Oct 2007)
Virginia #
Effective July 1, 2008, salvinorin A will be included in Virginia's list of Schedule I substances and will be illegal to buy, sell, or possess without a license. The law does not specifically mention Salvia divinorum, which will presumably be illegal by extension. (see text of HB21 and bill history). (thanks W)
Wisconsin #
0n Aug 7 2007, Representative Wasserman introduced WI AB 477 that will, if passed, ban 'manufacturing, distributing, or delivering the active chemical ingredient in the plant Salvia divinorum (salvinorum A) with the intent that it be consumed by a person". The bill makes an exemption for salvinorum A that is recognized by the FDA as a homeopathic drug. (thanks S) (last updated Aug 20, 2007)
Wyoming #
HB 0049 was introduced in 2006, and died without coming to a vote. (last updated Apr 30, 2007)

Blutteufel is right, this is the wrong section to post this kind of thread. Resort to name-calling again and you're gone.


PLEASE post threads relating to a substance other than Marijuana in Pandora's Box.
