In a video of Miley posted today, the 18-year-old smokes an herb known as Salvia. What is it?
Miley Cyrus is laughing uncontrollably in a new video of her smoking out of a bong, and now we know why she had a fit of the giggles. The drug that Miley was allegedly smoking in the video obtained by TMZ is called Salvia, and it’s usually compared to LSD for its hallucinogenic effects. Unlike LSD which is chemically engineered, Salvia is found naturally in a plant but both drugs contain the same main ingredient: salvinorin A.
Miley is giggly and goofy in the newly leaked footage, but that’s because Salvia is known to induce laughter, sensations of motion, visions of membranes, and sometimes causes one to revisit past memories. Unlike LSD, the effects of which last for up to 12 hours, Salvia’s typically last for a few minutes at a time.
There is not very much known about Salvia which is why it remains legal in most states. Even though Salvia isn’t regulated under the Controlled Substances Act, some states, including Delaware, Louisiana, Missouri, and Ohio, have passed laws to ban the drug. Other states like New York, Michigan, Oregon, Texas, Florida and Miley’s current hometown of California have proposed legislation to make Salvia illegal.

I’m 28 and I’ve never done a drug in my life. I hardly drink even for that fact. So no, not everyone has tried drugs once in their life. If so I guess I’m the only one who hasn’t tried it. Yes Salvia is legal, but that doesn’t make it right to do it. There could be a lot of long term affects in the long run, all though there are no affects right now. Anyway, I hope if she just tried it, then okay move on and worry about your career. Cause otherwise she is going to lose her fans which are mostly little girls who look up to her. They’re parents have most likely heard of the video and are probably already throwing out her music. I’m disappointed in her, but what can she do, but learn from her mistake and move on. I’m more disappointed that she had it video taped or her friend video taped it. I think she was trying to make a quick buck and was just jealous of Miley and her fame. That is my opinion. I hope Miley will rise from this and get back on track. And not be another Lindsey Lohan.
