Salvia: The Unknown Drug

Salvia is a drug growing in popularity. You may hear about it on the news as a dangerous drug, or read about it in magazines or on the internet as a safe and legal way to experience psychedelic effects. Salvia also got a lot of national attention when popular celebrity Miley Cyrus was filmed smoking it. The thing is though, how many people know just what Salvia actually is, what it does, and how safe it is or isn't? Let's go in-depth about Salvia and shed a little light on just what the drug Salvia is.

Videogames and Misunderstandings.

Don't be afraid.

We all see it happen in the media, some violent videogame is spotlighted and while it may be something actual gamers would never go near people who don’t know about the industry get upset. For example, a new game that I won’t even dignify with a link will be coming out with you going to various instances of school shootings and re-living them as the shooter. A regular person reading about this would get extremely freaked out, because they don’t know that this isn’t an actual game being released at retail by a big company, but instead something done by an independent developer whom the mainstream game community pays only wrath and disgust.

Almost all independent games are on computers as big companies won't let games like the one discussed be released on their consoles

People hear about a “mod” to a game—which is when an individual or small group make their own version of a popular game they share with others—and think it is a huge release when in fact no one will actually be playing it in the gamer community outside of those with no taste. These so-called “games” don’t even go through the regular game industry, being rated by the volunteer organization the ESRB which assigns appropriate age-ratings based on a games content before it is released for sale in stores. No, these games can only be found online as free or paid-for content people download, that is how underground these sick individuals are.
