It seems most everyone sees some humanoid on a salvia trip, or at least a living intelligible creature. Or lots of them. Do people think this is really accessing another dimension? Or do the different trains of thought going on during the trip somehow become represented by other beings because of the drug's effect? Or something else?
I guess I lean towards thinking the brain is just fucking itself up. I believe more in the power of the brain than the existence of things around us that we can't perceive without Salvia. Though I do still think that the other option is entirely possible. An erowid account had a guy say we exist basically parallel to this other dimension, but just can't see it when the brain is functioning properly. Because of the fucked up things these creatures usually say that seem so random, I think it's entirely possible these beings exist on some parallel plane. This drug, or whatever it is, is seriously the most fascinating thing.
On a side note or for further discussion, I can't BELIEVE Salvia is legal most places in the US. Whereas grass isn't. And alcohol is. Those priorities are so fucked. I personally think ALL drugs should be legal, and if crime got out of hand from it then laws should be put in place to more steeply punish people who offend while tripping on shit.
