salvia isnt really dangerous if you just use it the right way...you will have some hardcore visions but its not something to use to get fucked up...and the effects only last 5 or 10 min at the most...its not leathal its just some dumbass kid killed himself after saying he knew the meaning of life... the kid probably had a problem before he smoked it...its just like any other hallucigenic...you should always have a sitter with you...the kid in question probably wanted to die (not saying that is what it was) and just did it after smoking just to have an exuse to do so
