I thought these were dessert stories at first. I was like where's all the cake LOL?

It's very weird that the person writing in with the first story is convinced her friend was intentionally killed via induced psychosis, as opposed to understanding that psychosis is by definition not rational. It not making sense that she would leave behind the necklace is immediately explained by her mental state.

I've never known anyone to smoke salvia more than once... or trip more than maybe 10 minutes. I didn't even know you could trip longer on it.

4:07 they used to sell the salvia plants at Walmart. (I never have tried it. I’m probably glad I didn’t ) What is crazy to me is a lot of that junk that you can buy at those little stores and gas stations is nothing but trash and can really do damage to people or cause them to want to harm others. Marijuana is natural yet , it is still not legal in many states, including in mine not unless you have a card. 😢😡

I've done Salvia, twice. Wasn't ANYTHING like what that story says it is. Not even close. You aren't aware of your surroundings, when you do it.

17:05 This is the first time I have ever heard of anyone being jealous of a Toyota Camry, and I assume the only time I will ever hear a Camry referred to as a “beast” 😂
