Legal Loophole Means Legal Hallucinogens

Salvia Divinorum is something I read about in Details magazine, because the cover had some sort of cheesecake picture on it, then something like "Legal Drugs," and I'm a young male wannabe. Anyway, that's what it is. It's apparently like psilocybin mushrooms, but only lasts a short while, and then you just feel sort of stoned.
It's called "The Sage's Root" or something. It comes from Mexico.
Unlike most drugs that the legislature hasn't bothered to illegalize, it can't be classified as a lookalike drug, because it's not chemically similar to any controlled substance. So you can just like go to a catalog and buy a plant of it. And smoke it. Or shoot it up. Or whatever you sick fucks do.
I urge all of you young people, wondering what to do with your lives, to go into two fields: ethnobotany and molecular chemistry. Then, join together in harmony, and go explore all kinds of traditional drugs that Congress hasn't heard of, analyze them to make sure they're legal, and start selling! SELL DRUGS, KIDS! USE YOUR WICKED SCIENCE TO STAY ONE STEP AHEAD OF SMOKEY! YAHOO!
I mean, do these things only to the extent that they're totally legal, which they are.
And put up BIG BILLBOARDS on the freeway that say things like, "Salvia Divinorum: Use it as a recreational hallucinogen," and "Sage's Root: It's not just for getting all fucked up anymore. Okay, it is."
Oh, the URL below also has the HOTTEST PEPPER in the WORLD. It makes habanero peppers look like... uh... yogurt. They've got all kinds of heap strong statistics to prove it.
Right about now...

SF Hippies Can't Get Their Act Together
The annual 420 Hippie Hill event in Golden Gate Park, where large crowds of hippies, wannabe hippies, and hippie poseurs drape themselves in tie dye t-shirts and gather on a hill on 4/20 to smoke weed, was cancelled this year because the organizers couldn't get their act together. (More...)

Spock Went, Spock Wrote, Spock Kicked Ass
Every Labor Day weekend a large portion of the PDJ staff joins 30,000 other freaks at one of the biggest and strangest art festivals in the world - Burning Man - somewhere on the edge of the Black Rock Desert. Our base of operations is always the ultra swank Spock Mountain Research Labs - the World Leaders in Beverage Science and Leisure Technology. This year, we hauled up our computers, printers and a massive digital duplicator, determined to become Black Rock City's third daily newspaper. Even Spock was surprised by our success - news will never be viewed the same on the playa. Read all seven issues of the 2002 Spock Science Monitor for yourself and see why. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
