I'm not arguing that it's not a hallucinogen... just a bit overrated even when you get to the more powerful stages. It's funny coming from me because I used to think marijuana was strong fucking shit, and I still do to some extent (the really good stuff with a low tolerance. Holy mother of god).
The first hour after salvia can be kind of intense, a lot of thoughts go through the mind or just some depression and anxiety for a while. The next day I'm usually back to normal. The longest significant after-effects I experienced from salvia lasted about two weeks (I think its always there in a small amount though), about the same as 450mg of DXM or half of marijuana when it does something.
Sometimes I feel like I'll always feel far out after I take salvia, but it still has a very strong sort of "dumb" to it whereas psychedelics for me give CONVINCING illusions of truth instead of just making me confused as fuck. To me psychedelics are bar none the coolest lies in the world, and really creepy for it as you just think you're smarter but really it raped you of your soul in a way. It steers you in one direction and throws you toward the other like nothing else. shiver
But when I try to quit drugs, salvia can definitely show its staying power, it kind of invades my thoughts, I'm gonna get you type stuff.
