What Is Salvia And Why Is Miley Cyrus Smoking It?

Miley Cyrus, the teen sensation made news recently as she turned 18. The biggest news came a few days after her big birthday when a video surfaced of the teen smoking “salvia” out of a bong.

What made most people do a double take was the fact that is wasn’t marijuana coming from the bong. Many wondered exactly what salvia is. According to FOX News salvia is:

…known as salvia divinorum, this leafy “houseplant” is a highly-potent relative of sage and mint plants. But unlike its spicy cousins, salvia leaves are sold as a legal alternative to marijuana because of the hallucinogenic effects people can experience from smoking it.

The salvia leaves were causing quite a stir for the young teen superstar as she prepares for her upcoming movie role with Kelly Osborne.

You can see footage of Miley smoking salvia and talking about “tripping out” over on TMZ.

Salvia is a legal herb in the state of California, so technically Miley did nothing wrong, other than set a bad example for children around the globe. But if you think about it, most teens join in rebellion, cigarette smoking and experimenting with marijuana around this time, so it is not out of the ordinary, just out in the open.

What do you think if Miley, salvia and the circus scene surrounding her and her 18th birthday celebration? Let’s talk in the comments below.
