New online survey on Spice

[monodream]

[sorry Salvia not Spice ]

Dr Harry Sumnall (LJMU, UK), Dr Jon Cole (University of Liverpool, UK), and Dr Fiona Measham (University of Lancaster, UK) have launched an exploratory study investigating Salvia Divinorum use. Please note that this study is only currently open to over 18s.

Despite Salvia Divinorum being legally controlled in several countries and discussions on legal status taking place elsewhere, there have been few investigations of its use. This research aims to find out about how people are using Salvia and to make a brief assessment of the types of effects they report. Survey results will be shared with health professionals, members of the public, policy makers, and other scientists at conferences and in scientific journals.

We have no agenda to pursue with this research, we're just interested in collecting and reporting accurate and objective information, and to help develop health and harm reduction advice.

If you have used Salvia Divinorum at least once in the past then please consider taking part.

It should take, at most, 30 minutes to complete the survey, which should be done in one sitting.

Please go to http://www.survey.ljmu.ac.uk/salvia to begin

Data is submitted to a secure server. The introductory page fully explains the study aims and also offers advice and points to consider about the use of the internet to collect potentially sensitive data.

I'm glad I posted the keys to the barge pole lockup to a friend in Australia.

You sure you mean Salvia? Because the survey I started answering was about spice.

About a third of the way through it I realised that you didn't mean Garam Massala, Cumin or Coriander Seeds so I stopped.

What about parents that feed Salvia to their kids? Can they take part?

Is that a made up drug, like Cake?
