Strategies for keeping ethnogens legal
I was thinking about getting active in the fight to keep currently legal plants legal and fight to get those illegal made legal. Perhaps active at the University I attend. But the last thing I want to do is make things worse: "Do no harm," as the white coats say.
Here's what I've come up with:
1. For comparatively unknown plants (Kratom, and the less legal Mimosa hostillis-type preperations of DMT) better off not drawing attention to them to avoid the "What--it's legal? Well let's fix that!" attitude.
2. Salvia divinorum, however, is sufficiently well-known that drawing specific attention might be warranted (I'd really like feedback here before shooting my mouth off).
3. Don't mention San Pedro/Peruvian Torch at all, since these plants' ubiquity means that they'll most likely stay legal unless the DEA's nose is really rubbed in it.
Also, most of the most credible legalization orgs out there are organized around the cannabis fight (NORML, et al). The plant that's most "on the bubble" that I can see, though, is Salvia. As a Labor/IR major, I've learned the importance of organizing and strength in numbers, and would like to fight my fight as a part of a larger, more credible org. Is it possible for a Salvia push to be affiliated with one of the more-established cannabis orgs in much the same way that the UAW is affiliated with the AFL-CIO or the Teamsters with Change to Win?
Thanks for some logistical help...
