Not me as I rarely watch television any more, except for an occasional sporting event if some friends or neighbors stop by.
Though this may be my situation, I completely agree with this argument in the general case. How many times have you seen something blown up out of proportion on the local news and two days later it is the only thing talked about and the state assembly is putting a committee together to study this suddenly new problem before it becomes a serious problem?

As often as I have seen this happen with numerous different subjects, it is rather surprising to me that salvia divinorum is still more or less left alone. I think this is true mainly because of the overwhelming majority of people that do try it, do not like it. They never take it a third time and they also don't give it to their friends to try as they don't think they'll like it either. Salvia would seem to have a very poor word of mouth sales to it. Think about it, do you go out and try to get people you know to try it, or do just have some on hand or maybe not with you, but will get it if somehow the subject comes up and the person doing the questioning is almost insistant on giving it a try? Compare this to Boone's Farm wine and teenagers. Or marijuana for one's own personal use. Two activities that many find enjoyable, whether or not you do. Enough people like these things and will put up with any negatives effects that it stays above a critical level and continues on. Salvia use might just cease on its own if it is ignored. As it isn't addictive, nor remotely habit forming even for those of us that either like its effect or just deal with it for some reason, the usual arguments for outlawing its use are not working. So it mainly is just the prudes that think it is wrong for anyone to get high unless they use alcohol to do so. Salvia certainly doesn't cut into alcohol sales, nor does it seem to help sales in any way either. I bought 3 grams of 20× last October. I still have about half of it left. Even though I would say I am an occasional user of it, it is obviously something that I might just use three or so times a month and even then I usually only smoke one bowl on the day I use it, maybe a second on occasion. Nothing like how I'd smoke pot or drink beer.
