Sen. Tim Burchett (R-Knoxville) has moved the Senate to approve Senate Bill
3247 which makes Salvia divinorum A illegal for purposes of human consumption.
Salvia is a plant which is imported from Mexico and which is used in
landscaping. Of late, it has been promoted as a natural hallucinogen. The
Senate unanimously approved the measure Thursday.
Sen. Burchett stated, “We have enough problems with illegal drugs as it is
without people promoting getting high from some glorified weed that’s been
brought up from Mexico. The only people I’ve heard from who are opposed to
making it illegal are those who are getting stoned on it.”
