For me it produced a feeling I can best describe as a tactile analog of the sound of fingernails scraping on a blackboard. It’s not exactly pain but something similar and unpleasant. When it wore off I would feel noticeably happier for several hours. I didn’t repeat the experience many times, partly because of the unpleasant feeling, and partly because I didn’t find a good delivery method other than smoking. I used a concentrated extract strong enough that I could get the full effects from two inhalations, but once I’d done it enough to gain a basic understanding I didn’t consider further use worth the risk of smoking.
The main effect is strong hallucinations very distinct from those I got from magic mushrooms. Much less colorful, less detailed but more realistic imagery (similar to dream imagery), extremely strong tactile and proprioception distortion, little if any time perception distortion, weaker audio distortion, and completely overpowering all other sensory input at the peak. There was always an undercurrent of unease; unlike mushrooms which felt a very natural and appropriate mindstate for humans, Salvia had a alien and threatening feel to it. The peak only lasts about 2 minutes and the whole thing is over in about 15.
