Yeah, come on now, everyone has their own definitions. People use different language. Its like, who the fuck cares?
I consider it a psychedelic, as i consider weed, lsd, shrooms, a shitload of tryptamines, PEA's, 'the usual'. If it "opens my mind" in the way.. i myself understand what that means to me, then, its psychedelic. Salvia is sure a psychedelic. DXM has been, ketamine, etc. Hell, nitrous is for sure. One time I hate a ton of kava kava, trying to get a strong effect, then i smoked a lot of pot, and i was tripping, and it wasn't just the weed, that kava kava didnt JUST sedate me...
Like whoever said, he trips on alcohol, well, maybe he does? Who cares. Its a psychedelic for him, or, maybe it was psychdedelic one time, or whatever. You can have a 'psychedelic experience' sober. Whatever your own personal definition is i guess..
Smoking some salvia while on another psychedelic, now thats incredible. Usually, only a tiny little bit of extract (usually 12x or 20x 'standardized'), one little puff off the pipe, and your glued to the bed, chair, whatever your on, your ego is 'gone', music can become your universe, or "theme" for whats going on (the salvia people! hahaha). I guess salvia got boring to me, i only do it once in a while, i have not had the balls to take in a HUGE amount while on another psychedelic, or maybe i can't.. i forget to take another huge hit, i'm just egoless immediately. Its defintely in its "own" class, like cannibis. I'm not even thinking about what "chemical class" it belongs to, just the experiences they bring. Of course, all of them having many things on common, thats why I call them psychedelics..must have that mind-expanding effect. Visuals, in any way (well, not any, almost), have been psychedelic. Taking a "visual only" drug, would be psychedelic, just because, well, for me they get you intersted in how the mind works, how it does this or that, visually, with perception.
