Gonna keep this brief but I just need to get this out somewhere…
So my girlfriend’s brother is a rather esoteric fellow, and has made numerous visits into the world of hallucinogens.
One day last week, after consuming magic mushrooms he followed it up with salvia divonorum. YES REALLY. (for those not in the know, these are two very powerful hallucinogenics.)
His friends looked after him for two days, but by the third (Friday past) they didn’t know what to do and finally called my gf.
Next day we took him to a state hospital and had him admitted into the psychiatric ward (note this is in South Africa, and a stay at a state hospital is a pretty awful last choice). We were lucky to get him in at all.
We tried to go see him yesterday, but he was knocked out, my gf spoke to him today and he’s still an incoherent mess. At times he’s lucid, but his attention-span would make a moth proud and he keeps blurting out random and often rude comments.
I was gobsmacked when I found out what he’d done. I’ve done salvia before and found it a little scary, and the idea of putting that on top of shrooms is just… insane. And I’m afraid that’s what he is now, no other way to describe it.
The doctors have sedated him with anti-psychotics, when his friends were taking care of him he’d been alternately getting aggressive and then breaking down into tears, so if he’s not doing that any more I guess it’s progress…
His mother lives overseas and he has no family here besides his sister, but there’s really not much she or anyone else can do now but wait and see if he comes back to reality.
We’ve been trying to find information on the net, but I think he was playing quite the maverick when he decided to mix shrooms and salvia, however if anyone’s ever got any experience please share…
