Some of my friends this weekend smoked salvia and then videotaped their reactions. When I went over there later that day, I watched the recordings, and they were hilarious.
You could instantly tell when the person started to feel the effects because their faces would instantly change and they would look around like what is going on.
One of them tried to pull the cushion of the couch off.
Another couldn't stop laughing and layed on the floor to try to put their feet on the ceiling, which was about two to three stories high in this room.
Another one was laughing and then all of a sudden their face looked terrified and they got extremely scared and were saying, "I want it to stop," and started crying.
The last one, had a completely expressionless face and would get up, look around, and then sit down, or once, lay down on the middle of floor. Instantly, after lying down, they got up, stopped, and then ran to one of the back rooms.
I can hardly describe what these people looked like and how they reacted, because I honestly have never seen anything like that except for in the movies. The best part was just being able to see the change in expression when it hit them. It was like in The Matrix when Cypher was killing the people in the matrix at the end of the movie, and when he pulled Switch's plug, her face had the same switch of expression, even though she was dying.
The stories they told about what they were seeing made no sense at all and the only one I kind of understood was that they were in a room that was completely made out of the ceiling tiles in the room, and were trying to grab things that they couldn't reach, because obviously they weren't there.
If you ever try it, or have and haven't videotaped it, I highly recommend it because it was really amusing. So, also, if you don't remember what you did, then you will know.

Hey, what is salvia?
Salvia divinorum is a plant that when smoked induces a semi-hallucinogenic effect. The "trip" so to speak is not very long lasting (maybe 10-20 minutes max). There are two different sources for this effect. Salvia extract is sold at headshops in downtown Madison and ranges in strenght from "10x" to "30X". Pure or raw salvia can be purchased at specialty horticulture stores depending on the variety in your area.
The trip is basically a blackout where the user goes somewhere else for the time, usually enjoying very vivid scenes being played out in their mind.
THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE! Please if you do indulge, have a sitter with you to prevent harm/injury/accidents.
The pure salvia is more conducive to a good trip; i found the extract to be lacking in some ways and not as good. The effect wears off after twenty minutes and you are then straight again.
