Nightline apparently joined the salvia scare movement with a piece that ran last night; I didn't catch it, but ABC News has helpfully provided a transcript of some sort on the Nightline web site. It features a suicide story attributed essentially to salvia use, on these rock solid grounds:
Kathleen believes her son's salvia trips were reshaping his mind -- the way he saw himself, his life and the world.
"I think he just snapped," Kathleen said. "I think he had smoked salvia to such an extent that something happened in his brain."
Salvia was found in Brett's vehicle by police the day he committed suicide. No other drugs were found, and there were no traces of any drug in Brett's system, according to the autopsy.
There you go, everyone: salvia kills, especially when it is in your car and you don't happen to be on it. And of course, as a 17-year-old kid, there couldn't POSSIBLY in a MILLION years be ANYTHING ELSE GOING ON that might reshape the way he saw himself, his life and the world. And in other news, did I mention how 2T-C-special-G is destroying this great land of our nation?
