ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Mexican-grown herb that has made its way to shops in Central Florida is becoming a popular hallucinogenic drug for kids and it's perfectly legal to sell in the state, according to a Local 6 News report.

Police said salvia divinorum, also known as Magic Mint or Sally-D, provides LSD drug qualities when smoked. In Mexico, the herb is used in healing rituals, the report said.

However, the herb has become available at stores in Florida.

Local 6 took an undercover camera into a smoke shop in Orlando Tuesday and was able to purchase salvia divinorum immediately.

Drug detectives said the salvia divinorum can cause uncontrollable laughter and violence. Recently, videos of teens smoking the herb have begun appearing on the Internet.

"I think it should be investigated," parent Sandra Chitty said. "It shouldn't be legal if it's doing those things."

Local 6 reported that officers said they have their hands tied since there is no law in the state of Florida banning the substance.

Delaware, Tennessee, Missouri, Oklahoma and Louisiana have laws against smoking salvia divinorum.

Five other states -- New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Alabama and Utah -- have proposed legislation to make the herb illegal.

In Florida, the herb is legal to smoke.
