Experiences - Salvia divinorum trip Report: scared silly

[elbow]

I smoked a big bowl of Salvia 20x and felt it hit me almost
immediately. I was sitting on my bed alone in my room and listening to
this very psychedelic music by a band called Gong. Their music is all
about little gnomes and high-pitced voices and it is kind of a
freak-out. I hadn't really thought about the music before smoking, it
was just background noise but as the drug took effect the music became
more and more obtrusive and eventually it sounded like many squeaky
voices were trying</span> to make me go crazy, and it was working!



At the same time as the music was forcing itself onto my consciousness,
I began to realize that I was not able to talk or move and the entire
interior of my room had become very flat and one-dimensional, and
somehow I was a part of this flatness. My room is very trippy with
pictures hanging crookedly all over the walls and tons of plants. It
seemed like there were absolutely no stgraight lines in the room, that
everything was just higgeldy-piggeldy.



I was alone and began to be afraid. I thought that I would never be
able to talk or move again and nobody would know what had happened to
me because I had smoked the salvia by myself and I woudn't be able to
tell anyone why I was frozen like this. Additionally, I came up with
the brilliant notion that even if I ever became sober again, I wouldn't
know it because my room was so disorganized and the music was so
tripped out that I would have no way to tell that the salvia had worn
off, what with the trippy environment and all.



I have no idea how long this went on, but it seems to have occupied the
majority of the experience. Suddenly, I realized that I was able to
move again, and I stood up and ran out of the room into the hallway of
the dorm where I lived, which was a very sterile and ugly environment.
This had the effect of making me realize that I was not as fucked up as
I had thought, or maybe the Salvia was wearing off. I ran into the
kitchen where I saw my friend, she looked at me with great concern and
I saw in her eyes a reflection of my fears. I grabbed a chair, sat down
heavily and started laughing maniacally because I felt so happy and
freed from the fear I had felt in my room. Just seeing my riend made me
realize that my fears were totally stupid and just the result of a
drug. I felt extra-happy for a while after that, but I don't know if it
was a result of the salvia or just because I was so relieved not to be
spending the rest of my life "frozen".



Conclusions: This was probably my most "successful" salvia attempt, in
that I actually felt some effects. I don't really know what I was
looking for with salvia and I don't even think that it mattered at the
time. I would say that I have no desire to smoke salvia again but if I
do I will have a friend with me and do it in a darkened room with no
music.
