Additional Information

Salvia has medical benefits, it was commonly used by the Mazatec Indians for headaches, diarrhea, rheumatism and anemia.
Professor Bryan Roth directer of the National Institute of Mental Health's Psychoactive Drug screening programme said "we think that drugs derived from the active ingredient could be useful for a range of diseases : alzheimers, depression, schizophrenia, chronic pain and even AIDS or HIV". http://healthwyze.org/index.php/component/content/article/472-salvia-divinorum-exposing-the-power-of-alternative-herbal-medicines-and-the-people-who-are-threatened-by-them.

• Allow chewable salvia leaves and smokeable salvia joints to be sold in shops to over 18's.
