=Erik Hoffstad= Erik Johann Hoffstad (born February 24, 1985), is an American actor, YouTuber, production assistant, filmmaker and internet personality. He is best known for videos of him smoking Salvia divinorum in his garden, his home and behind the wheel of his car as well as his satirical series where the main purpose is, in his own words, "to teach people how to leave proper and respectful comments on videos."

Early life
Hoffstad was born on February 24, 1985. After his graduation from Drexel, he met Chris Arader and moved to Los Angeles, California to focus on both his comedy, and filmmaking careers and also focus on the production of the pilot episode for a web series called "Let's Go To Class" which was named after the sketch comedy duo of the same name.

Popularity
In 2008, Hoffstad made a comedy video entitled "Gardening on Salvia" where he teaches viewers how to dig a plant while on the effects of Salvia. The video was a semi-viral hit. He then made sequels where he smokes salvia but different and also behind the wheel of his car, thus giving him the nickname of Salvia Erik. That particular video was seen by Texas representatives in a hearing by Charles Anderson (R). He then responded to the political backlash by, in his words, "apologizing to the Salvia gods on Salvia."

Careers
Erik Hoffstad is a production assistant for FX. According to Hoffstad via Discord, he wrote a script treatment in screenwriting class during his Sophomore year there entitled "Knock!" where someone falls in love with a mannequin. During his Junior year, he made two cameo appearances in two episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
