If it is legal, it can't be that crazy...right?!?

Well I had heard about this Salvia grass they sell right in the mall that supposedly makes you trip. Well, I decided to try some this past weekend. I figured, what the heck? It's my birthday, I'm up for anything. Not to mention it is legal and from what I heard, it lasts like 10-15 minutes. So, if I don't like how I feel, I'll be over it it in no time.

HA! The intense trip probably lasted 10-15 minutes, but I was crawling out of a time-space warp for at least an hour. It was the craziest experience I have ever had. Because I didn't expect to experience what I did, I spent the whole trip amazed at what was happening and trying to explain to everyone what was happening. I was likely very annoying. There really is no way to describe it other than I kind of felt like my mind was like on of those Xbox commericals where the person's head is open in the back and you can see into it. I felt like I was wondering around in the back of my head, and i could walk up to my eyes and look out at the world if I wanted to, but then I would walk back and I couldn't see anything. I could hear people calling to me, but had no idea where they were or how to find them. At one point I finally found Josh (even though he was holding me and looking right at me) and I remember asking him to hold on to me and keep me here because I wanted to stay looking out of my eyes. It was crazy!

Once I could permanently look out my eyes, I still felt like I was right on the edge. Like I was in this weird tunnel or under water, and I kept almost getting my head outside the tunnel or above the water but I just never got there. I think I would like to try it again now that I know what to expect, and just roll with it instead of trying to explain it to myself and everyone around me. I've video googled, and there is this guy Jim who records himself on Salvia trips. It appears he is describing much of what I was experiencing. Definitely a Long Strange Trip.

If you try it, you should definitely have a sober friend around to watch after you and reassure you all is well!

Yes Friend, it is itense, i myself tried some about 5 years ago and I thought I was a cartoon character as well as everyone around me. I laughed so hard for 10 minutes i almost peed my pants.
