Siebert and other advocates of the sage say it has psychoactive healing potential, and is not likely to be adopted as a recreational drug like Ecstasy or make an appearance on the rave scene. "It is not something that will be passed around at parties and concerts," Siebert said. "That will limit its appeal. If you take it in a social context, you'll wish you hadn't. It's a very introspective experience. You can't walk around and socialize."
Oh, please. Can we get real here? It's a hallucinogen. Of course it's going to become a recreational drug. Maybe it won't become a party drug as such, but once the drug becomes widespread enough that Congress actually notices its existence -- or once the wrong person has a fatal drug experience from it in some way, shape or form -- then it WILL be regulated. (Or, most likely, banned, since there doesn't seem to be any medically accepted use for it. And using a drug to deal with loss or other deep feelings is probably not the best longterm strategy in any event.)
