Salvinorin: The Psychedelic Essence of Salvia Divinorum
1996
On one occasion when I smoked Salvinorin during an LSD journey, while coming out of the trance I found my awareness fixating on the sound of a loud vehicle that was driving by. As I found this rather unpleasant I put on some music, which soon took on immense proportions in relation to all other perceptions. The piece being played was Hendrix's "1983", a song I've listened to numerous times while tripping. On this occasion, however, I found myself even more captivated by the music than usual, and very tuned into what was occurring each moment. The most unique and surprising aspect of this experience happened when the music was leading me from the land to the sea. As this occurred, I experienced very distinct olfactory hallucinations that were completely fitting with the musical scenario. This is the only time I can remember having this sensation.
