Video Material ~ I have some Salvia divinorum and other visionary plant related video material available in digital formats.
Government ~ tracking parliamentary motions and mentions
TV and Newspaper reports etc.
The links to media stories below are by no means an exhaustive list. To keep yourself up-to-date with breaking stories, I recommend you set up a Google Alert for yourself. You can do this for any subject you like. For example, an alert set up for keywords "Salvia divinorum" will result in occasional email being sent to you about relevant news stories . If you're interested in other subjects, for example, "magic mushrooms", then you can set up a number of alerts, one for each subject ( - note that of the two examples I've given, you can generally expect a lot more emails informing about magic mushrooms in the news than about Salvia divinorum).
