    Last Call – Salvia will be Banned in Ohio in 90 Days

    Controversial Salvia banned in Ohio
    By Everdeen Mason

    In 90 days, the controversial psychoactive plant Salvia will be banned across Ohio and will no longer be available in smoke shops in the university area. The bill, signed by Gov. Ted Strickland on Friday, was sponsored by former state representative Thom Collier after a boy from Loudonville, Ohio, was killed by a friend under the influence of Salvia.

    The bill’s passage treats Salvia as a Schedule I controlled substance with the same penalties associated with cocaine, heroin and psychedelic drugs.
