• Resumen

  • The article discusses the hallucinogenic plant Salvia divinorum which U.S. officials want to restrict the use of. The herb is used recreationally used by some and has a long history of shamanic usuage by Mazatec people in Mexico. Topics include the concern by neuroscientists that the drug will be restricted before studies determining the safety of the plant can be performed, hampering the potential for its medicinal value and an overview of the plant's toxicity.
