Hi there, DeMenTed, thanks for the kind words!

You read me exactly correctly, viz the laws respecting our great roar against some drugs, and my intent to take the path regardless.

Unfortunately, Florida is one of the states where possession of Salvia is proscribed.  I have been looking for a source of live plants for some time, and don't mind long drives a bit.  In fact, I'm driving to Texas (probably in the San Antonio area) in May to make a military parachute jump with a bunch of other old paratroopers.  Texas, I note for no particular reason, is not one of the states that outlaws Salvia.
