I immediately feel like I've disconnected from my body--I'm floating in this strange inter-dimensional space, a massive void with faintly colored geometrical patterns (chrysanthemum) swaying to a very slow rhythm. Then came a bombardment of images. Everything I'd ever seen--from bits of pop-culture to my parents to flashes of events and situations from my past--were materializing from deep within the void and hurtling towards me. That all lasted probably a minute or so when what I can best describe as one of those giant worms from the desert-areas in Final Fantasy sort of stretched itself out from the void--it was still overlaid with the same geometric, graph-like pattern that was covering everything else. This thing led me somewhere, not sure exactly where. Everything remained sort of darkened and I was still in the void area but now there were giant, shining bodies of water--like a lake or something when the sun is hitting it an it is reflecting all the light. I wandered through this with the worm for a while when the effects started to wean. Coming down you just feel weird as fuck. You sort of just sit there bewildered wondering when you'll be able to come to terms with what you just experienced.
Wow. Yea that sounds a lot like a Salvia trip.
I bet that most of the same mechanisms of action are going on with both drugs for the most part. I know there is very little research on how the chemicals in Salvia interact with receptors in the brain, but I'm not sure about DMT. I'm sure eventually there will be enough study and I'm willing to bet that there would be a lot of similarities between the two.
