Tripping Weed the new convenience product?

In Auckland today I noticed a few convenience stores selling a product called Tripping Weed behind the counter.  One retail person responded to my query whispering that it was legal marijuana.  It was expensive and that only reinforced his claim / promise.  I would have thought that the name of the product was enough to at least remove it from display.  That said, this is a country which still displays tobacco products in retail stores.

Here is some of what the supplier says on the website about the product:

Tripping Weed is 100% Legal and Natural Herbal Product. It is an extremely powerful hallucinogenic with mind altering properties, If you have not used salvia divinorum before, we recommend you start with a low strength (10x) pack and try the stronger smoking blends as you look to increase the intensity of your Salvia experience.

It’s fascinating what you see for sale in some countries.

    Kevin a couple of bottles of wine will be on their way to you when I get back to Australia. I promised myself that the first comment which made me laugh deserved a refreshing reward.

    I know my business would be a lot poorer if not for the wealth distributed in our community from green crops.

    What this harvesting your crop (Wheat or Canola) while still Grteen. Round here they wait for them to dry out and brown off before harvesting.
