CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa

MCBJ Order 5530, implemented Sept. 10, prohibits the use, possession and distribution of certain substances marketed as "legal highs," according to a Marine Corps news release.

The order was "in response to a growing trend of abusing legally obtained substances to produce mind-altering experiences," the release said.

The substances, which can be ingested or smoked, include salvia divinorum, a psychoactive herb found in Mexico; mitragyna speciosa korth, a medicinal leaf harvested from a tree in Southeast Asia; blue lotus, an aquatic flower; convolvulaceae argyreia nervousa, or Hawaiian baby woodrose; lysergic acid amide, or Mexican morning glory seeds; amanitas mushrooms; datura, also known as jimson weed;

absinthe, a liquor containing wormwood;

and 5-MEO-DMT, a powerful psychedelic found in a variety of plants.

All of the substances can produce hallucinogenic effects similar to LSD.
