Why aren’t legal drugs like salvia and hookah as popular as alcohol or illegal drugs?

Question by Crikey a Wild Ski Bum: Why aren’t legal drugs like salvia and hookah as popular as alcohol or illegal drugs?
There are huge cultures centered around marijuana, cocaine, heroine, meth, mushrooms… whatever. And of course, alcohol is a massive industry.

Why aren’t there commercials and billboards for salvia and hookah and whatever else you kids do?
legality is not based on the effects of the drug. Datura is legal and that’s so powerful it’s beyond a hallucinogen, it distorts your view of reality for days, and is very deadly.
