Get back in place!

I experienced my first salvia trip earlier today, and it was a whole lot different to what I expected. I'd never used any hallucinogenic drugs before; I just smoked weed daily and popped pills before parties, so I was a little scared and didn't really want to go first, so I watched a couple of my friends light up a small amount in a bong (it was 200x strength, that meant nothing to me so I wasn't really worried about that) and have a little trip which didn't appear to be that intense, but after coming out of it they remembered nothing and were sweating like pigs, one boy even had half of a conversation (maybe a full conversation, but I couldn't understand half the words that came out of his mouth) with thin air.
Later on it was just me and 1 friend playing xbox and we had a bit of salvia left over, so we thought we might as well get it smoked and see how well we can do at nazi zombies. 2 full caps of the bong and 30 seconds later, we were ready to exhale. The second all the smoke had left my lungs everything in the room became a blur which all lead up to the TV, as if the whole room was a blurry light cast by the television so appeared to be a 2D plain but I could still see the TV screen clearly. My mate (who I knew was there but for some reason thought he was trying to race me as we shot through space) started to laugh hysterically so I looked across at him, when I focused on him it's as if him, the bed, the wall and myself became another 2D plain, speeding at the first 2D plain, but in agony from laughing he fell backwards; straight away the 2D plain was broken and I got a stinging sensation all over my body, I grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him back up into place and the stinging stopped. I then slouched forward from laughing at myself for trying to explain what was going on in my trip to him and I felt the pain again, sitting bolt upright again, the 2 plains finally appeared to collide and I was being shot forward at high speed on my own through a sea of nothing (I could see the room but for some reason it didn't register in my brain as being there) towards the TV which now seemed to be in the distance. I looked straight forward moving side to side to dodge the brightly coloured boxes shooting from the TV screen, and when my friend leant forward so he was in the corner of my eye I freaked out, not knowing what was trying to catch me in my epic race to the TV I jumped to the side in fear and felt the same stinging pain.
The trip calmed down from there pretty rapidly, the pain turned into heat and I was sweating like mad, my friend was still pissing himself laughing on his bed and for some reason I was under the impression he was meant to be going somewhere else and shouldn't still be in the room.
It's not until just now, reading this site, that I've noticed 200x is a strong dose and the large amount I took would also have contributed, I certainly won't be doing that again; I've never felt pain quite like the stinging I had, but that's not to say I won't try a smaller or weaker dose in the not too distant future ;D.
