Neither of my analogies were meant to be taken literally as I was merely trying to convey the experience of the salvia trip to the lay person or to someone who is not familiar with the harder hallucinogens.

My trip was full of malevolence and sent me into a state of semi-shock that lasted for a few hours after the trip. During this time I questioned reality and wondered if I'd be able to understand the world as I had before the trip. During the late come down of the trip I had a rather large headache, similar to headaches that I experience when I smoke copious amounts of marijuana but much more intense/painful. In me, this is characterized by a burning sensation in the cerebellum/optical lobe area.

I'm not trying to dispute your experiences as I am sure that you are not lying. I just ask that you accept mine. Different people do different things when they have taken drugs, and many people I have talked to have had experiences similar to mine.
