Salvia Divinorum

[Tyler]

Does anybody know the current legal status of Salvia Divinorum in North Carolina? Wikipedia says that it's still legal, but other sites have said otherwise, and I'm really not sure which sites to trust.

[Reverie Phantom]

I'd probably trust the sites that say it isn't legal, because for one thing, wikipedia is usually a bit slow on current stuff, and also, if it was legal, why would other sites even be saying anything about it being illegal in the first place? You can buy it online anyways though, that's what I do. I live in Nebraska where it is illegal.

North Carolina (NC) # A law banning the manufacture, sale, delivery, or possession of Salvia divinorum and Salvinorin A was passed on Aug 28, 2009. The law takes effect on December 1, 2009. A violation of the law is punished as an infraction for the first two covictions (ticket-type crime with minimum $25 fine) and as a Class 3 misdemeanor after that. The law includes two exceptions by which one can legally possess, plant, cultivate, grow, or harvest S. divinorum, one for "medical or pharmacological research" and one for "aesthetic, landscaping, or decorative purposes". http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia_law.shtml and here it is: http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2009/B...ML/S138v5.html
