Incense/Herbs
19/Female.
My boyfriend is 21.
My boyfriend has recently bought something from the tobacco store, and I am very concerned about it. It's in a pouch, and it looks like marijuana, more or less. On the cover it says it's incense, and it's called lotus flower, or something like that. On the back it says it is not meant for human consuption, but my boyfriend has been smoking it and claims it gives him a 15 or 20 minute high. I know it is wrong, obviously. So that's not what I am asking. What I am asking is what is the short and long term consequences of doing this? He thinks it's better than smoking marijuana, but I really beg to differ.

That would be what they call spice.
Obviously its not good for him because any sort of thing you smoke is not good for you.
However, he is probally doing this in replacement of weed which id say is good because weed is illegal. Spice is perfectly legal to have.
Idk, id be worried yet relieved if i were you.
Just tell him not to do it much, every so often wont kill him.

There's about an 80% chance that what he is smoking is Salvia, which is legal (so far as I know still) for anyone old enough for cigarettes.

Plenty of information there.
It's technically better. The long or even really short term effects of salvia are not overly well documented. It's not overly toxic, impossible to come anywhere near overdose threshold by smoking it without suffocating yourself from lack of oxygen intake.
Drugwise it's classified as a dis associative psychedelic. If he's "just getting a little high" he's not taking a high potency, pure unprocessed salvia makes you pretty much non-functional for about ten to fifteen minutes.
I really don't feel like googling up salvia laws, but it varies state to state anyway. Pretty sure it's still legal in most though, there's been non serious talk about banning it that never happens because almost no one bothers with it and the stuff available at your corner tobacco store has like a fiftieth of the potency of unprocessed salvia.
Unless he smokes it right before driving or something similar, he'll probably be fine.
