If I'd placed an extra couple of these ( . ) behind my final period, would you have read the scarcasm/facetiousness?

No...?

Well, then to drive the point home:

It's a force to be reckoned with, and considering the hype surrounding it and the mentality of most who use it, the stuff probably should be illegal...

I don't agree with prohibition of anything. I think all controlled substances should almost completely lose the 'controlled' prefix. But if you'd witnessed some of the behaviours of the majority of people purchasing and using this plant recreationally, you'd realize the danger. Widely available, completely uncontrolled, completely ignorant kids looking for an alternative to marijuana or to get incredibly 'fucked' up...and 'knowing' that there are no long term consequences.

There's absolutely no reason heroin should be illegal. There's absolutely no reason LSD or methamphetamine should be illegal. And that's also an absolute dream scenario that will never be realized. Salvia divinorum is real, it is now. WE ARE NOT LIVING IN A RESPONSIBLE SOCIETY. Until we do, I think you at least have to give validity to the idea of controlling this plant. If you can't fathom why, then you haven't seen what I've seen.
