this is not bullshit or some made up story, it's what i experienced, salvia trips depend on the user and his/her mood, salvia trips also vary by person, some may have intense and scary trips, while others experience just a mild buzz,
if you want to get the full effects of salvia you have to smoke and smoke, until you black out, holding your breath also helps, i have not had a trip like that since, since my expirience i stopped smoking salvia, cause it scared the shit out of me, hope this helps.
