It's a bizarre drug that's for sure. It's quite short but really intense and conjures up a lot of emotions in a really weird way.

I had just gotten back from my first semester at NYU and was sitting on the beach in LA. I had an awesome first semester and made a lot of new friends and was back in LA with all my old best friends.

That salvia trip was my first time. I can best describe it like this:

You know that feeling when you wake up in your bed tangled in your sheets and all sweaty and you aren't quite awake yet have no idea what is going on but you are just immensely frustrated. That's what it was like that time.

I think a lot of people would look at a trip like that as a "bad" trip but I didn't, and still don't. It was fascinating and an experience that I would have done again.

I'm gunna be late for work - gotta hop in the shower - talk more in an hour or so.

I know a guy who smoked some salvia, thinking it was weed. Scared the absolute crap out of him, and his wife and kid - he totally freaked for a little while, I assume because he wasn't expecting it. We didn't figure out what had happened until the next day.

Never tried it myself, but there are some pretty funny salvia clips on Youtube.

Yeah, it would not be a good thing if you didn't know what was about to come. People all react differently to it. I know some who have just giggled like a crazy lunatic and others who have claimed some interesting visuals. I am generally pretty introverted and so I go into a special place in my mind when I do it.

Interesting description, doesn't make me want to rush out and try it. I've had such mixed experiences with psycotropic drugs. That would make an interesting "ask HUBSKI". Hmmmm... Maybe I'll post that tonight.
