interesting way to flout the law

Stuff like salvia, kratom, and these purported "bath salts" are not illegal. But in a nutshell, the federal or state government can harass the bloody hell out of you if you're a vendor who openly flaunts the real purpose of what you're selling.

I order legal psychoactives all the time, most of them are billed a "incense" or "for educational purposes only."

Interestingly, I ordered some salvia tincture, which is salvia divinorum dissolved into alcohol, and wasn't required to provide any kind of identification for the alcohol. It's a minute amount, and nobody is going to drink that stuff (it's supposed to be absorbed sublingually under the tongue), I just found it interesting.

Reminds me of that tribesman in Papua New Guinea and his child (which in turn reminds me of Goya's Mercury Devouring His Son). The picture of it is terrifying, but so fascinating. There's also the beheading and part cannibalization of Tim McLean a few years back. Crazy storf.

If by "harass the bloody hell out of you", you mean "get sent to prison", then, yeah.

If you claim [x] is either (a) an illegal drug or (b) has the effects of the illegal drug, you will be charged as though you were selling said illegal drug. This is why people selling fake crack get charged as though they were selling the real deal.

Here's some info on the particular (federal) law; link

No no, nobody has gone to prison for selling things like salvia, morning glory seeds or those crappy legal spice packets that do little more than give you a headache. The issue is that these online vendors have had their products seized, their property searched, and their lives made incredibly difficult when some fucking DA or county sherrif is up for re-election and wants to appear "hard on drugs."

If you're telling people this is "just like crack" or "this is crack", it's something else entirely than describing the actual effects of a drug like Salvia – which is completely legal on the federal level and legal in most states.
