Trippin' in Brooklyn
Dear Doctor Dysphoric:
A friend of a friend told me about "Salvia," an herb that you can buy in tobacco shops. Apparently this plant has hallucinogenic effects when smoked. Have you heard of this ? Is it bad for you?

Dear Trippin':
I see many complications of substance abuse in my practice. However, up here in Washington Heights we generally stick to the more traditional drugs, such as cocaine, alcohol, and tobacco. I help patch up the organs they destroy (heart, liver, and lungs, respectively). I do not know anything about Saliva, or its effects when smoked. I am always up for learning about new substances for abuse, however. I will search the medical literature and get back to you.
