Salvia ban bills are nothing new, but the one currently running rampant through the halls of the Kansas legislature includes listing Datura as a Schedule 1 substance as well.

This is a Kansas Senate bill that has already passed the Senate, and now the House Judiciary Committee. It will have to be voted on by the House, and then probably re-voted by the Senate because of House Committee amendment, before going to the Governor with unanimous Committee approval in both branches, it is probably a slam-dunk deal to pass as amended.

Fluke, or the tip of the iceberg in a new wave of cracking down previously legal entheogens...?

This is probably a Kansas fluke. I don't know any law enforcement officials clamoring to make another plant that grows all over the place illegal, but you never know. It is interesting to look at the list of controlled substances in the PDF though -- page after page of drugs I've never even tried... Well, okay, I've done half of page 4 and most of page 5. Does that make me a bad person?
