Some people love it though and I totally respect their ability to withstand salvia. Its a true test of character
Under no circumstances should this or any other plant/drug be made illegal, however! The potential for spiritual growth is amazing with these substances!!

How about the potential economic and entertainment aspect of this plant?

I can imagine specialized Salvia "Tripping Stations". Small buildings, warmly lit with liscensed shamans as "bartenders" and elaborately dressed hosts and hostesses.. with darkened booths set for timed individual or group trips complete with music and aromatherapies (offering a vast selection of music and scents). Each room could have different themes, for instance a Cyber Room loaded with blinky futuristic lights,strobe lights and overhead screens with weird videos..mm..ive got even better ideas for LSD Theaters
I could sit around all day coming up with cool shit to do while tripping. It would be great if certain drugs were commercialized. Instead of going out to the movies on a friday night, you could go on a trip in a perfectly controlled environment where you would feel little or no fear or paranoia.

Guess i'll just keep on dreaming....
