I kinda remember people talking about taking Salvia back when I was at university and saying stuff like they went to another universe when they were on it and were lucky to make it back – and that kind of chat made me never want to even attempt to get my hands on the stuff, let alone actually tip on it.

Turns out this wasn’t enough to turn a lot of people off the stuff though as this recent Twitter thread illustrates, with a whole bunch of wreck heads from the 00s gleefully chipping in with their absolutely awful stories about doing it and how it often ended up very, very badly. Take a look below and be surprised that most of these people are still alive:

Watched a kid bump a rail of vyvanse and then rip a bong load of salvia. Wordlessly walked into his living room, picked up the family tv and threw it down the basement stairs.

Don’t remember any of it except that all I could see was zig zags running across my eyes and literally nothing else. I remember coming to on some chair in my boxers in the freezing cold and being like “what the fuck just happened”

one of my best friends in high school smoked salvia and went catatonic— his brain clocked out and went offline, he just laid there limp

then he suddenly snapped up covered in sweat and described in great detail his entire trip was just a shift working at blockbuster video

I smoked it at church camp when I was 13 and drank out of a urinal https://t.co/FKrQlbKGAq

something I miss about the late 2000s is salvia. It was a part of culture in a subtle way and smoking it sent you straight to fucking hell.

Saw a couple friends rip some salvia at a high school graduation party. One guy took like five steps and collapsed onto a bed, the other guy curled up like a turtle on its back and rolled around for a while https://t.co/bUYB1RiR95

I smoked salvia on top of a parking garage with 2 guys I just met my first week of college, and I woke up on the top floor without any teeth https://t.co/eWLP0lh01j

Jesus. That does not sound like fun at all for most of them. I guess they can be glad that they tried it and experienced it and know never to do it again but man, I’m not sure why any of them even wanted to go for it in the first place. Make your own mind up if you have any access to it now I suppose, but I would only take these as a warning.

For more of the same, check out this dude tripping balls into outer space after smoking salvia for the first time. That’s a real live visual representation of this shit.
