Cause it was fucking intense in the heaviest sense of the word. I was over at a friend's place, he didn't have any weed. He gets out this bag of stuff that looks like bud grinded up and it smelled flowery. I ask him where he got it and he says "the gas station for $5" and proceeds to tell me that it's better than weed, gets you really fucked up but I was skeptical. He rolls a nice fat joint, he hands it to me so I take three big hits. ... The moment I hit it my stomach got an extreme burning sensation, I felt heavy and giggled for a good three minutes at nothing. Then all of the sudden I zone out and my friend says "it's good shit, huh? ... you alright?" I'm sitting there not knowing what's going on but I managed (i think) to say "yeah" It fucking happened. I was waiting for my friend to say something else, and he didn't. I was stuck in the same fucking moment. I was hallucinating. Everything that happened a moment ago when my friend asked me of it was "good shit" was on replay. EVERYTHING! All his movements. The whole room. His voice at that exact moment in time was on replay. I was stuck in the past, in the same moment over and over again. Naturally, I thought I had lost it. I started getting these images in my head. One was a wave. It was two lines on a black background, one was pink and the other was grey. The second one was my leg. It was twitching back and forth. Then I heard a rhyme in my head about the past turning into the future. The weird thing was that it all seemed familiar too me. While all this happened in my head, I was still stuck in the moment 10 or 15 minutes before. My friend was still saying "good shit, huh?".. I started to think maybe I died and I was in limbo! But I thought "no! I have to fight it" and even though the same shit was going on. I forced myself to move and walk into the bathroom -- anywhere!! -- to break myself out of the past. I then stopped hallucinating and stood laughing in the bathroom. After I felt I was alright, I walked back to the sofa and my friend was sitting there smoking a cig. I had a mild buzz and slight giggle fits for the next 5 minutes. Then it was gone. This happened it a span of 30 minutes. My question is, WHAT THE FUCK DID I SMOKE? That was goddamn intense. Salvia maybe?
Does kind of sound like salvia, but my first inclination is to say that it's an extremely potent synthetic cannabinoid.
If he found it at a gas station, I'm pretty sure you got a synthetic canabanoid. Stick to regular weed, the synthetic stuff is no good. It may get you really high, but it's not safe.
There's one test: Salvia has a very strange body high, refferred to by some as "salvia gravity". It feels like your body is being pulled by different gravitational forces in different directions, and your body can be uncomfortably sensitive (which I think has something to do with the typical shedding of clothes on salvia, I know it did for me). The mental effects on lower doses are essentially mental jaw clenching. Also, salvia is not flowerly smelling, especially if it's as extract. It smells like pungent plant foliage, and slightly burnt if it's an extract, which that would have to be. Anyway, it sounds like a shitty synthetic.... something.... to me. *edit* well fuuuck, that's fast, if you had no tolerance to a cannabinoid, they'd usually last hours, at the very least, especially for that intense an experience.... aren't there some tryptamines that can be smoked? All I can say about salvia is, get some salvia, examine it, try it, and see.... salvia can cause giggling, but almost dysphoric giggling, imo.... it's not a good feeling at all. It can be utilized so as to not be a BAD feeling, but it sure as hell ain't good.
It was must likely AM-1220 or AM-2201. Shit binds up to x200 times stronger to your receptors than THC. Shit is dangerous. Easy to OD on. Addicting.
Yah, I keyed in on the duration. I am not very familiar with any of the synthetic cannibinoids and from anecdotal reports I've read they definitely sound like they can get incredibly intense. I agree Salvia doesn't smell all that flowery but some of those effects OP wrote about seem similar to Salvia effects and sometimes it's difficult to discern similar trips/effects through reading over the net.
Sounds like a synthetic cannabinoid IMO. The come-up sounds like it's too long for salvia. Usually salvia is an immediate break through, or at the least not three minutes until it really kicks in. Though I suppose your perception of time could have been distorted. The short duration of the experience, if it was a synthetic cannabinoid, may be due to the fact that you only took a couple of tokes. With cannabis for example if I only hit a joint three times I come down off of the buzz pretty fast. It's hard to tell from anecdotal reports, but it seems like one of them cannabinoid plant blends.
My small opinion is that it is NOT salvia, but is synthetic cannabinoid. Have me over and I'll puff on it and tell you what I think...
