However, I would illegalize a drug called salvia.  This drug is known for inclining teenagers to commit suicide.  Its effects are like LSD or Heroin.  Teenagers buy it because they think it will give them the same effects as Marijuana, but the effects are far worse.  I had a friend who had to be sat for an hour by another friend because he wanted to jump out a third story window.  He was apparently yelling, "Please kill me, please kill me.  I want the pain to stop.  When will this end.  Please kill me."  I've heard this story told many times. 

That is incredibly incoherent.  The pressure to make salvia illegal is largely based on the case of one teenager who wrote about salvia in his journal and several months later committed suicide.  LSD is nothing like heroin, and salvia is nothing like either.  Salvia trips only last about 15 minutes, and yes, the effects are unpredictable and it's wise to have a sober trip-sitter, but as far as we know the drug isn't dangerous physiologically or in terms of long-term psychological effects such as addiction.
