I recently watched a friend smoke Salvia, and she literally peed herself.

The day Southpark ceases to be hilarious and relevant I will weep bitterly.

lolz what would i do w/o south park?

A friend of mine had a ridiculously bad salvia trip. He thought he was being attacked by thousands of Lego men. Who wanted him to join him, and he tried to start a revolution. He got paranoid and broke a lamp and a few things in his house.

I heart the Heavy Metal spoof where they did an ace job of capturing the crude artwork and the wanker fantasies for 13-year-old D&D gamers.

The episode didn't poke fun at Salvia - the "cheesing" method was actually a reference to Jenkem, the bogus fermented sewage drug and "cheese heroin" [en.wikipedia.org]

Salvia: when an ego's too cumbersome. Buckle UP Buttercup!

My ex used to banish me from our apartment when the Tarna the Turrachian bondage scene came on so he could whack it. It really got my goat because my favorite part is that doofy cartoon version of Devo in the bar.

Come to think of it, it would've made more sense if Kenny joined a "nose dive" with HM's alien cokeheads.

Great track.

I might be stupid...but what is salvia? I wikipedia'd it...and all it says is that it's a sage.

There's a really great episode of Clone High where a pusher (voiced by Jack Black) convinces all the kids that smoking raisins gets you high. It's called "Raisin the Stakes: A Rock Opera in Three Acts" and also features Daniel Feldspar, the stereotypically Australian dragon. "Kowala! Boomerang! Wallaby! Oi oi oi! Shrimp on the barbie!"

Also, those videos of kids doing salvia hurts my heart. I wish people would do things responsibly. Like not right near a cliff.

I love heavy metal. ilu druuna!

Anyone here ever tried Salvia? I haven't, but I'm curious to know if it's as bad/crazy as the news reports are making it out to be. (Gawd, that's awful English, but you get my drift...)

@trisarahtops: Clone High is like my favoritest show ever. I totally giggled at all the boobs on SP last night, cause in my heart I'm a 12 year old boy. Which might explain why I like cartoons so damn much.

Nippletopia.

Heavy Metal was the shit back in the '80s. I had the soundtrack cassette playing non-stop in my RX7.

As a habitual marijuana user who has never tried any other drugs (does Vicodin count?), despite smoking for about 10 years now, I really want to try Salvia...but I'm scared. Scared! I don't want to pee myself. I think that's a legitimate concern. But on the other hand, if I won't die from it, what's the big deal?

So, hypothetically if I wanted to try it...where would I get it?

@JinxyMcDeath: at a local smoke shop. it's about 40 bucks for a can round where i live.

Kids with video phones + bad trips + YouTube = evidence.

Salvia got banned here in Colorado, but smoke shops still sell it. It falls underneath the drug scheduling program so technically it's illegal everywhere because of federal law... it's just still under their radar.

If Salvia splendens is psychedelic, it ain't hard to find. All that red salvia in dopey annual borders is S. splendens. If people rip it out in order to smoke it, good! Less of it to see in the landscape. Damn stuff is everywhere.But others here say the whack-job stuff is Salvia divinorum, not splendens. But that IS hard to find.

@beeble aka 'sugartits': I smoked it once (mixed with weed--I was too scared to go balls to the wall with it) and at first I didn't feel anything, but then it hit me all at once. I got a really weird noise in my ears (that kind of echo-y twang that you know if you've ever huffed anything) and my senses were completely twisted around. I was sitting there with my (sober) friends and I kept trying to tell them that the upper right corner of my field of vision was a blue square. I wasn't SEEING a blue square; and it wasn't exactly synesthesia like with acid, but it's as if there's some disconnect between the parts of your brain that 1) takes what you are seeing in front of you and then 2) sends it to your brain telling you it's a fact. Weirdweirdweirdweirdweird. It wasn't bad; it wasn't the COOLEST THING EVERRRR but I would probably do it again just to see if I had a similar reaction.

"Drugs are [not] bad, m'kay?"

Has anyone ever done or known someone who did DMT?

All I've ever heard is Joe Rogan talk about it and he talks so fast and so forcefully my brain confused him for Henry Rollins. But the trip sounds scary/thrilling, depending on the sorta person you are.

i'm confused! they say "titties" like 500 times during the clip, the they edited out the animated chicks ass???

I tried salvia once but I think I wussed out and didn't inhale enough or something, cause I just got kinda woozy and laid down and ate popcorn til I was better. My bf at the time, though, his head was stuck to the wall and he couldn't escape all the pumpkins that were flying at him in letter formations!

@trisarahtops: Wow, Joe Rogan's commentary has never been that compelling or verbose for the UFC.

If he stopped worrying about keeping a job he could be the next Timothy Leary. I wanted to buy a sensory deprivation tank just because of one of his other interviews. Now I want to try DMT and I don't even have a six pack of beer in my fridge.

I was wayyyyy too sheltered in the 80s to ever watch Heavy Metal, but that animation is totes 80s-circa She-Ra and He-Man. I really <3 South Park. I need to catch up on it again.

@JinxyMcDeath: headshops, I think. But, don't get dried stuff.

I've done salvia a few times, and every time my reaction is essentially, "why did I do that? That was not fun." I think I am pretty much done because the last time I did it, I became convinced that I was a part of some kind of window display and if I moved I'd get in trouble. When the realization hit me that I was in fact in my apartment, I was so excited that I sat down and yes, peed myself. Moral of the story: don't do salvia unless you enjoy being disoriented to the point of loss of bowel control for about 15 minutes.

Check out what exists now! You can get free South Park episodes here:[www.southparkstudios.com] thankyoujesus

i'm watching this right now. cheesing because it's "fon" to "due"

HAHAHAHAHAHA

My husband and I laughed our asses off watching this SP episode. Poor Kenny never did get to touch the titties, and the expression on his face, complete with hand gestures, was so sweet. Long live the brilliance of SP!!!!

grarrr! can't see comments!

Loved this episode!! Heavy Metal was one of those forbidden movies because I was too young and my parents didn't want to see it themselves.

The cat pee actually reminded me a little of...liquid rush anyone??

(FYI: can only post comments in Safari, not Firefox.)

@trisarahtops: I knew a guy who wanted to do DMT so bad. Every time I saw him, he would say, "It makes you see GOD. But most people end up dying from it! Isn't that INSANE?! I want to try it SOOO BAD!" Like, every single time I saw the guy, he was talking about DMT.

salvia = overrated

1-2 minutes of head rush, disorientation and some mild visual effects, then, bam, you're down and you have a headache.

I guess for someone who has never done real drugs it could be fun and life changing... but me, I like some staying power in my psychoactives.

Did anybody else notice that Kyle's mom and dad's press conference outfits were direct copies of Eliot and Silda Spitzer?

@richcreamerybutter: Holy cow...liquid rush....I totally remember that from high school. It was such a "bad" drug then because we had to go to a sex shop to buy it and then go behind the McDonalds.....for a huge head rush and then a huge headache. woo-hoo

@skittlbrau = baa: Yeah, I am always amazed at how quickly they write current events stuff into South Park. I heard an interview with Matt and Trey where they said they use software for their animation that speeds up the process significantly, and being able to avoid the lag time for topical humor was a big part of why the show is so popular. But that was a few years ago, so I imagine more and more shows can do that.

@JinxyMcDeath: Go pee prior to smoking it, thereby emptying your bladder and making a pre-emptive strike on salvia-induced pee-pee pants.

Ok, so Heavy Metal and South Park--I have a love/hate thing with both of these. South Park is hilarious, and topical and very smart, but then someone pukes for 7 mins. or there is an episode devoted to boobies. I love the cheesiness, rockiness and fabulousness of the Heavy Metal Soundtrack, love the whole Fantasia for fantasy metal people--but man boobies boobies boobies.

Hello, I appreciate that boobies are cool, but um, girls, pretty much glorifying them sometimes makes the boys kind of stupid in how they view us. Granted, Frank Frazetta chicks are strong, and not model-stick figures. But it doesn't exactly make it easier to get along as a woman in day to day life when parts of our bodies are fetishized.

My husband was so stoked to hear that two of his favorite things were going to be one last night, and I said, no way, I am not watching that. He was sad and pouty. I said "Do you want to watch that with our 12-year old daughter? Or 15-year old son (ok, probably yes on that one)? I let them watch South Park, but I have made clear my objections to Family Guy. Intelligent dirty parody has redeeming value, but when it goes straight to the boobies and farts and straight up misogyny that is when my educated, protective, moralist, catholic school upbringring gets all She-Ra on this shit.

So, hypocrite bad mom, yes I am. I am also the annoying mom who makes rude stuff immensely boring by asking questions and giving mini-lectures about "Do you know what is implied when you say that something 'sucks', dear?"

You can all tell me to shut up, now, but man.

Was I the only one that had to turn this episode off? it made me ill!

the trips were cool, but seeing kenny in reality freaking out... too effed up for me.

@Jeangenie:

Whoa. Flashback to the 7th grade.

Sorry Mom. But I only read Playboy for the articles.

Fuck me.... I want.., NAY, NEED a supped up 5 jet engine Firebird.... <3

@beeble aka 'sugartits': I did some research on salvia before buying some (because I'm a geek). There are different concentrations of salvia you can buy and on top of that, most people who regularly smoke it stress that you smoke it with a butane lighter or in a vaporizer, not just a standard cig lighter. It needs a higher heat to burn properly so you get the "desired" effects. I bought mine online because I was able to find higher concentrations of it than I could at local headshops.

It definitely tripped me the hell out (as well as my hubby - he actually didn't like it because it also made him really crabby). I smoked it once when I was home by myself and suddenly the backsplash behind my stove and the overhead vent turned into a hot dog cart where I was trying to buy (natch) a hot dog. Then I realized I was in my kitchen falling over with my dogs staring at me like "whaaaaaa?"...so I fell-ran to bed and stayed there until the high wore off. But every time I smoked it, it was a very psychedelic high (which wasn't what I was looking for...it's marketed as a legal sub for weed...which it's not, IMO).

It also gave me a weird uneasy feeling and made my feet really clammy.

@Jeangenie: Did you actually forbid your husband to watch something he was so excited to see?

@GodOfBiscuits: forbid is not what is sounds like. Aka not-forbid, but ask strongly to respect me by not watching when I am around, or our children. He's already watched it online.

@Jeangenie: You do realize that the joke was entirely based on the Heavy Metal reference, right?

@NotNotLickingToads: I mean, I took it that you did. The episode isn't really meant for kids, not that many of the episodes are...

@Jeangenie: Also also also, there was discussion on NPR yesterday that language evolves over time, so that now, the actual meaning of the word "sucks" is totally detached from its use as slang and kids don't think about it. It's popular culture now.

Unless, of course, you see fit to re-introduce that meaning. ..seems counterintuitive.

@NotNotLickingToads: yes.

@NotNotLickingToads: i just like mortifying them.

Wow, I feel old now. Never heard of Salvia, but certainly would have tried it back when Heavy Metal was new. Also, the boobies in the SP episode were so over the top that it was hilarious and absurd, not sexy.

@Jeangenie: Heheheh. If I ever have kids, I'm totally going to ruin the thrill of drinking by letting them have a glass of wine with dinner at an early age.

Sammy Hagar rules!

@trisarahtops: DMT is supposed to be some very intense stuff. I suppose that if you're used to doing psychedelics (peyote, mushrooms, or acid) DMT might be something you might be willing to try, but I'd personally stay away from it. The substance is produced in small quantities by the human brain during vivid dream states and (researches believe) it may be the main component involved in near-death experiences. Lots and lots of anecdotal as well as scientific information out there on the web. If you're going to try it, do your research!

I am fine with the boob fetish, which seems relatively normal, almost retro, when you think about some of the other fetishes that seem prevalent today. The woman from Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" video is selling her gently used panties online after so many people contacted her wanting to buy them. Now that is odd. My boyfriend may stare at my tits too much, but at least he isn't buying strangers' panties.
