      Actually had a friend who reported a somewhat similar experience on salvia. I watched him hit the pipe, giggle for a minute or so before his expression went stone cold. After he came down it took a while for him to get his bearings. Asked him what happened and he said he felt like he floated into the sky and landed on a giant clock face. He heard a voice tell him that he would be stuck on that clock forever, and said it felt like literal years that he was there. Said he wouldn’t do salvia again for a million dollars after that.

      I on the other hand always had really delightful trips on it, so your mileage may vary from a five minute wacky giggle trip to eternity on the sky clock.

      Man… I’ve done that twice. Definitely very uncomfortable experiences.

      Twice was enough for me so we gave the rest to friends. One of my friend’s moms did it while I was in the room and never looked at me the same again. She told her son (my friend) later that she legitimately believed I’m the anti-christ.

      I did Salvia once over 10 years ago and it truly changed my life for the better. Definitely something that more folks should try in a safe space. It’s similar to mushrooms but only lasts for a few minutes instead of hours.

        Agreed. I’ve done salvia and mushrooms and they are both amazing, but I’ve also seen a few bad trips, usually from people that were a little unsure about trying it in the first place. My rule of thumb for psychedelics is to go in expecting an amazing experience, but if you have even the slightest hesitation, wait until you’re ready.
