“Anything and everything” includes Datura.

In all seriousness, Salvia is horrible and fits the layperson’s perception of a bad trip much better than any psychedelic hallucinogen (aka serotonergic (Psilocybin, LSD), as opposed to glutamatergic dissociative hallucinogens - (Ketamine, PCP) - or cholinergic delirant ones (Benadryl, Datura), with Salvia uniquely acting on Kappa opioid receptors) could.

I’m lucky in that all I’ve gotten from it was strong dysphoria because the one time I attempted to try Salvia, the brand I ordered was bad and I got something that must have had a very low potency instead of a concentrated extract. I got off merely with rolling backwards and breaking my bong covering myself with bong water, then worrying about a leaf in my hair and thinking I might find myself snapping back to reality for a while.

Given the sense of dread and anxiety I felt afterwards while in the real world, being in that state through a fast paced cartoonish fever dream of a trip must be absolutely awful.

You got off easy, friend. Thank your god/devil.
