I was camping out in dry west country at an old hippy community. Big boulders surrounding us as we nestled in the valley waiting for night to fall. A friend of mine who was quite interested in plant medicines, though very young and foolish at that had purchased some of (what I didn't know at the time) 10x strength Salvia Divinorum. The salvia was mixed with certain herbs that enhanced its effects. I was only 18 at the time so I had no real clue about the potency of this plant.

We were sitting beside the fire when he brought it out, it was the first time any of us had tried it, He put some into a glass pipe without much fuss and the circle went quiet as he started to smoke. In a matter of seconds after he smoked he layed down dropping the pipe from his hand, his body started to have pulses as if he was going into a minor seizure, he then started to mutter in what sounded like ancient tongue of foreign languages. His eyes rolled back and within about a minute or so he came back to consciousness not knowing what had happened. He seemed rather unphased by his fit and unaware of the strange events that had occurred in the last few minutes.

This friend had a history of not handling his drugs very well so I foolishly thought I would try the Salvia in expectation that my experience would be more of a positive one. He packed the pipe, and without looking, I smoked it, held it in, and quite quickly, reality disappeared and I started falling. I was sent into an underworld of sorts, everything around me was purple and blue, prisms and shaped of all sorts surrounding me, flying as if I was caught in an intergalactic cyclone of sharp shapes or falling through a blackhole.

Accompanying the falling, a tremendous pain was surging through every limb of my body, as if the world around me was pulling my skin from my body. This lasted for what felt like days, falling, never losing momentum and never gaining it the pain never stopping. This was by exorbitant amounts the most agonizing experience of my life, nothing could compare.

My friends account was that I was only in a delusional state for about 15 minutes and that I got up from the fire and started running through the forest in complete darkness, chasing me they grabbed me and put me on their lap until I came back into consciousness. Apparently repeating "this will be over soon, this will be over soon" of which I had no recollection.

When I finally came back into consciousness, Everything felt like a blur until the shadows started filling in and I could see under the moonlight. Trees surrounding me I wondered where I was until my memory filled in and the picture was complete.
I asked "What happened" They said I was out for 15 minutes. This blew my mind. Time had been distorted wherever I was.

I went back to the fire and told the story on to my friends feeling back to my normal self. Like all the pain and suffering I just went through was a dream. But I can tell you, wherever I was, I could feel everything.
