Estes when he first laid out his bill to ban it in 2007. He said at the hearing that the plant grew wild in some regions of the state, though it certainly may have originated in Oaxaca. I'd never heard of the stuff before he and Doc Anderson began promoting a ban.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-55278853951334223792009-04-17T09:40:00.000-05:002009-04-17T09:40:00.000-05:00I guess all of those sage distributors will just m...I guess all of those sage distributors will just move on to something harder: "Hey man, I got some first rate garlic clove here.. uncut.. no, no, no, don;t show the money in public are you wanted to get busted?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-4594667320168701062009-04-16T14:08:00.000-05:002009-04-16T14:08:00.000-05:00Don't get me wrong, the whole Salvia business is r...Don't get me wrong, the whole Salvia business is ridiculous. But I'm not so sure about your comments that Salvia *divinorum* is native to Texas and widely used by gardeners. According to wikipedia, divinorum is native to Oaxaca, Mexico. <br /><br />There are lots of other Salvias native to Texas and used in gardening, but I don't think divinorum fits in either category.Texas Lawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568108293469294533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-58704257863677190712009-04-16T13:27:00.000-05:002009-04-16T13:27:00.000-05:00A friend of mine was in Dawson (a private prison) ...A friend of mine was in Dawson (a private prison) for a while, and told us that medical care pretty much consisted of dispensing ibuprofen and sinus meds for almost all complaints, even obvious infections.
