Is Salvia the Next Marijuana?

What's wrong with people in the US? I smoke Salvia from time to time as a tool to self-discovery and anyone who smoked it wouldn't say it's even close to Cannabis (which I personally don't smoke). The 'high' last about a few minutes when smoked, than everything comes to normal.
What your government is trying to do is in my opinion wrong - people should be educated at the first place not put into prisons - for what? that's insane.
BTW why don't they outlaw other narcotic - booze?
Maybe because it doesn't cause any antisocial behaviour, isn't a cause of car crashes, deaths, family breakdown or isn't abused even by youngsters. Oh I know the answer because they are HIPOCRITS.

Maybe instead of rating me down you could give some reasonable counterargument?

"the autopsy found no traces of the drug in his system, but the medical examiner listed it as a contributing cause. "

The "medical examiner" is an idiot.

Its pathetic journalism like this thats fueling the public panic and leads to ridiculous claims about drugs which then become law. Those claims are so absurd that they get thrown away by everyone who ever tried some soft drug. Then when some of them are offered hard drugs like heroin they taught by previous experiences will completely disregard any past warnings only to find out too late that some of the drugs ARE indeed deadly. Many of them will destroy their lives precisely because to many idiot journalists couldn't come up with any reasonable story and instead decided to live of public fears and ignorance.

Laws have to be based on facts and science not on stupidity!
