If you want to understand what that feels like, you have to smoke a strong joint. A friend almost lost his mind in panic because he worried this effect might persist.

LSD+THC is much worse. It's a common n00b fail. And really not much fun, in my opinion. THC rather pollutes the trip. But at least, you know that it's transient. Sometimes, though, it's helpful to have a friend around, who can remind you that you've just done some drugs.

I never understood people who loved this combination. Horrible mix, brings out the worst of both drugs.

I think this needs a very strong YMMV disclaimer.

Salvia is much more effective and only lasts ten minutes.

And from what I've heard (from friends who've tried it) has a much higher chance of being not fun at all.

Definitely true if you're a control freak. It's an extremely intense experience that requires care and an open mind. Senses go haywire and time warps for a few minutes.

Is it similar to getting heavily drunk and then keeping asking the same question because you can't remember having asked it?
