State lawmakers want to ban a hallucinogenic drug that can be bought on-line and has already been linked to one death. Wednesday in Tallahassee a senate committee voted on a bill that would make Salvia illegal.

Salvia is grown mainly in Mexico. It’s been compared to L-S-D. There’s no age limit required to buy Salvia.

More and more teens in the U.S. are taking the drug.

Senator Evelyn Lynn is sponsoring the bill to make the drug illegal, but says announcing her legislation has only made the drug more popular.

“After the media picked up on my bill, they’ve had a run on these purchases and we know that it’s extremely hallucinogenic similar to LSD and PCP and it’s not anything we want our young people to be engaged in.”

The bill would put Salvia on the controlled substance list and make it illegal to sell the drug in Florida.
