I really hope that. But unfortunately it is down to brainless people to turn the situation into a big issue.

Also , true that spice never really became too popular in the 60s and lost popularity afterwards.  We however live in an internet age where everyone can browse and find any information he/she wants.

The comparison with salvia is also interesting. It is true that it is/was a legal high and teenagers and other people dived in head first and sparked plenty of suspicion on this herb. However, MHRB is also used as a "legal" high and increasing amounts of people are getting acquainted with it. And it is an internet age; it takes a few clicks to find what MHRB has and how it works. Few more clicks and the basics of an extraction are known. Even more clicks and one can "confidently" start doing it.

I really wish things were not as scary as they sound and let's hope for that. Time will show however!
