Do you think it's at all feasible for someone under the influence of salvia to record their thoughts as they occur? Would it help if they do so often? For example, I write a stream-of-consciousness monologue every day on 750words.com. Would I be competent enough to write down what I'm thinking while under the influence of the drug?
If you lose all sense of self, would you still be able to understand the concept of another person? For example, I wonder if it would be possible for someone under the influence of salvia to answer questions about their mental state.
Considering the description, I'd guess that even if you were physically capable of talking to someone or writing down your experiences, you probably won't be inclined to, am I right? Or if you did speak, you wouldn't be aware of it.
Sorry if these questions are intrusive; I'm very curious about this sort of thing.
s/salvia/saliva/g for fun.
