aaannnnndddd, you've obviously been around salvia ONCE. i did salvia every day for about a month straight, probably 6-10 times a day, around two years ago. i know, that's really fucked up. anyway, even the first time i did it (45x, two rips), i was able to walk, talk, comprehend where i was, and interact with the people around me. people handle trips differently, even super-intense ones like salvia, and some people have no problem at all talking and interacting with people around them. i just remind myself that i'm on a powerful drug and to just relax because it's SUPPOSED to be intense... i find after i've gotten myself together mentally, and it only takes a second, i'm fine.
but whatever... salvia's wack.
