(trilema) nubbins`: not "o i feel funny"
(trilema) nubbins`: like, completely gone.
(trilema) nubbins`: and i'm telling you that about 20 seconds after you inhale a lungful of salvia smoke, everything you see and hear and feel around you is just GONE and replaced with something else.
(trilema) nubbins`: and i knew precisely what hallucination vs impression/excitability was
(trilema) nubbins`: however, i'd taken relatively large doses of several different hallucinogens by the time i discovered salvia
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: certainly, and there's no argument on that point.
(trilema) nubbins`: if i'm parsing this correctly, you're equating a salvia high to a form of elevated excitement

(trilema) nubbins`: salvia puts you on fucking mars.
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu while i can't quantify my "impressionability", you're so far off-base here that i don't know where to begin
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu i vehemently disagree
(trilema) nubbins`: i thought i did, but nope.
(trilema) nubbins`: i didn't grok "weird" until i tried salvia
(trilema) nubbins`: or you're a sheet of wallpaper in a strange room
