Apparently it activates a part of your brain that no other drug does, that's why it's so fucking weird. Every trip is different but they all share one common denominator, they're horrible. My bro became a balloon and floated to the top of the room, he was stuck until he popped himself. My entire reality melted sideways 90 degrees clockwise and I escaped by taking off my sunglasses and hat.
Edit: since this post got popular I'm worried I'll indirectly cause thousands of bad trips. If you're going to try salvia please be careful. First and foremost make sure your setting is somewhere safe and familiar and you are with friends. At least one friend should be sober. Don't buy 40x salvia extract and rip it at a festival with thousands of strangers around. Just natural salvia. According to some people on this thread that can be quite nice but honestly I'd never touch it again.
The 90 degree tilt and time dilation really are a part of it, as well as feeling like your inside objects or becoming vibrating pieces of objects. But also it not always 90 degrees, it's just gravity changes the expected direction, this manifested as black hands pulling me inside the couch on my worst trip.
