I took three hits from a large bong and held the last one back for about 20
seconds. It was very hard to distinguish the exact moment but at some point I
realised that everything seemed quite different. My arms seemed 2-D and when I
closed my eyes, the rounded base of the bong which had been warmed by my hand
reminded me of a kind of energy ball. It all seemed very real. Then, when I
opened my eyes again I was no longer in my room. I was but everything was
different. I’m sure you know what I mean if you are experienced with Salvia.
I couldn't tell how far away anything was. I looked in my hand at the lighter
I was holding which seemed very strange. I didn't know what it was for but all
I knew is that I just HAD to put it on my bedside table. God knows why. While
my hand was on the way there I suddenly forgot why I wanted to put the lighter
there. I sort of froze, looking at my outstretched arm which seemed to stretch
into infinity. I just dropped it to the floor, thinking about the physics
involved as it fell. Everything seemed simplified and extremely complicated at
the same time. My room is in the converted loft of our house and there is a
hole in the floor to get in and out of. I looked at this hole and it seemed to
have surface. Its hard to explain. I "heard" a voice telling me
hole=bad. The "voice" was telling me to stay away from it. I didn't
know why at the time but it was because I didn’t want to fall down it. It
was like a real strong emotion telling me to stay away from it. The next thing
that happened was strange, probably the strangest experience of my life so
far. My brains associations got extremely "crossed" . Like one
thought would be connected to a completely irrelevant one. At this point I
didn’t know where I was, who I was, or what I had taken and didn’t really
give it much thought at the time. I would look at an object and random
thoughts would come flying at me. Then I could barely distinguish different
objects, just shapes that the straight edges of the table legs made with the
floor. Like an L shape. This L shape brought images of the icon of a local TV
station. Why this happened I can only explain as a total state of confusion.
Totally random thought rushed past me, but apart from the very strange TV
icon, I couldn’t catch any of them in my memory. I began to return from
Salvia world. I looked at the TV which was switched off at the time, although
I didn't know it as I didn't even know what it was. My mind seemed to regard
the TV as a Teacher. I got the impression that it was trying to teach me
something important, but I couldn't understand it. I experienced a really
strong sense of the "truth" being very near. As I became more and
more sober I felt as if the TV was shouting louder and louder, desperately
trying to make me understand, but I couldn't. This was one of the strongest
drug related experience of my life. The experience itself was neither
pleasurable nor negative, but the thoughts provoked afterwards were definitely
positive and very interesting. It has given me an insight into the power of
this plant. Anyone doubting the power of this legal drug should tread
cautiously.
