MysticCat, THANK YOU for this! I try and try to get this through my Patients' heads. They all say, "Well, maybe I'll just move to CA-where it is legal." That's why (not that I believe people should use it and I am not advocating for it) I never understood why people would rather take their chances with getting caught using marijuana, which is illegal as opposed to smoking Salvia Divinorum-"Sally D" (what Miley Cyrus was reported to have used) where it is only illegal in some states and pending in others. It messes you up even more and you can buy it in headshops. If I was someone who used drugs, that is what I would be using.
