Bong video clip of Miley Cyrus leads to issues

As soon as TMZ posted footage of Cyrus smoking a bong in a video, it went crazy on the internet. Cyrus, 18, was attending a party and reportedly was smoking salvia, a psychoactive herb that is lawful in most states. Several have been outraged by this. It has caused shock. Bill O’Reilly, based on the New York Daily News, blasted the act as being “pathetic,” and lamented that she is considered a role model for younger girls. NBC reports that Dr. Drew Pinsky suggests she only smoked the salvia because she was acting out which was likely related to her parents' divorce.

What salvia is according to Johns Hopkins

Salvia users were monitored, along with salvia, by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, according to the Baltimore Sun. This is one of the best medical schools in the country. Research into the drug found that while effects might be intense for up to 20 minutes, neither blood pressure nor heart rate rose during use. There was lots of potential for salvia to be part of non-opioid pain medications although it didn't seem potentially addictive.

Salvia is lawful in most states

You will find psychoactive properties to salvia when dried and smoked especially as it is also known as the herb salvia divonorum. Salvia is an herbaceous plant which happens to be really cousins to salvia officinalis, or common cooking safe, and mint. Due to public shock and outrage to the Miley Cyrus bong video clip, salvia divinorum may be illegal in several states, although it is only illegal in a few right now.
