Tennessee lawmakers are considering a proposal that would outlaw a mint-like herb for consumption, while keeping it legal for landscaping purposes, the Associated Press reports.
One lawmaker says youths in his district use the herb -- its street name is Maria Pastora -- for mood-alerting purposes. The Drug Enforcement Administration has the herb on its "drugs of concern" list, but it's not illegal.
The DEA says the herb is either chew or smoked to induce hallucinations.
