My Salvia Trips

[HarryHash]

Hey guys, these are some of my trips and friends trips on salvia. The other week my friend and i ordered a gram of 10x salvia extract from a website. I recieved it about a week later. I was really excited and nervous because i was looking forward to experiencing some of the things i read on the net.

I called up one of my friends and asked him if he wanted to try some. He said sure and we went to his house. He put on a reggae record and we sat in his room. I decided to go first. I packed a medium sized bowl and torched it. I did the whole bowl in about 2 hits. I held it in for about 20 seconds like erowid said and then blew it out.

Immediatley i felt a numbing effect. My speech was slurring and my jaw was tightening up. Then i sort of blanked out. Then i could hear the reggae and i thought i was in the carribbean. Then i started laughing hysterrically for no reason. my friend started laughing and we couldnt stop. The music was getting louder and i was trying to tell him to turn it off but i was laughing to hard.

Then it all seemed to stop and I sat up and was really dazed and i couldnt remember what happened. I got up but was stumbling around. My friend said he wanted to smoke so i gave him the Salvia, lighter and pipe. He took a hit and was just really dazed but not tripping. So he packed another bowl and hit it. Now i could tell he was tripping because he just burst out laughing and kept saying holy shit and whoa. After a couple minutes he came too and i asked him what he saw and he couldnt explain it. So i packed the bowl one more time and inhaled a mighty hit. All of a sudden i noticed a row of soldiers next to me and they were talking to me and i guess it struck me funny cause i was laughing again and i was talking to them for awhile my friend said. After that wore off we drove around a bit and smoked some bud.

Later that day I met up with another friend (the one who went halves on the salvia) My first few bowls werent too great but my friends were intense. He had the most confused look on his face and he fell off the couch and curled up. Then he got back on and his eyes were sort of rolling around and stuff.

He liked the salvia and we did some more later. This time he saw energy trails and puzzles. He told me the tv turned into a huge tv screen and the next time i smoked i tried looking at the tv and it got huge and i could only focus on the tv. Then it started swalloing me feet first and i was trying so hard not to get eaten by the tv. i was using all my energy just trying to stay where i was but it kept sucking me in then i snapped out and my friend was just looking at me and i was mumbling to him what happened and he kept saying it didnt and i was getting pissed because i thought it did happen. It was weird but i straightened out and now i look back at it all and salvia is some crazy shit.

If you try this stuff dont be careless. It can be powerful. I plan on buying more sometime. -HH

Sounds like you had a good time. I noticed there are more visuals if you don't have music on and smoke alone. Any outside noise seems to keep you partially in reality. When it's quiet, dark, and you're comfortable you'll go deeper into the rabbit hole, sometimes so far that you forget you're even on Salvia.

Thats it, when I get my job, im buying some!

I posted this in another thread and am trying to get it up on Erowid.com. I want people do know wha theyr're getting into. Had my first Salvia trip last night -- Here's the report:

GOD MISPLACED MY SOUL

Last night I had my first breakthrough with Salvia Divinorum. It was the 5th time that I've smoked it, but the first time that anything out of the ordinary happened. My first two times were with untreated leaves. They made me a little lightheaded. The next two times, I used about 3/4 leaves with a pinch of 6x extract. This 5th time, I used a tiny amount of leaves as a screen to keep the finely ground extract from falling into the bong. The rest of the bowl was filled with the extract.

I prepared the Salvia as suggested by others here and elsewhere. I used a bong, torch lighter and kept the flame on the leaf as I inhaled. I held it in for about 15 seconds.

After I exhaled, I felt the same lightheadedness of the previous 4 times I used it. Then something new and terrifying. I had this sensation all over my body like I was standing in 100 mile per hour winds. Like my body was being blown away and my blood was boiling.

That sensation faded slightly and over the next 10 minutes or so my perephrial vision was completely blurred. I was sitting and staring at the floor/wall in front of me. I had no sense of vertical or horizontal. Everything was on the same plane - it was all two dimensional. My computer was running on the other side of the room and the fan sounded DEAFENING. It was drowning out my own thoughts. I was also unable to move this whole time. I don't even think I blinked throughout these 10 minutes.

My mind was racing. I was terrified having never experienced anything like this before. For a time I thought that I had died. I thought that my soul had fallen through a crack in the universe. I had a feeling of total isolation, like God himself was unable to find me and that I was going to be stuck in this place for eternity. Stuck staring at this 2 dimensional vision with the buzzing of my computer fan echoing through my head. I thought that I had unplugged myself from 'The Matrix' and that maybe this was reality. I was thrown into a new world without a physical body and without physical limits and I had no idea how I was going to navigate it.

After about 10 minutes of complete shock I began to be able to turn my head from side to side. I realized that I wasn't dead afterall. That's when I noticed that I was standing up. I don't know how I managed to do that without falling over. My body continued to have a very disconnected feeling for the next 20 minutes or so. I was still scared and started sweating like I had just sprinted a mile. I drank some water and sat down until the feeling left me completely.

Overall, it was a horrifying experience. It was like waking from a bad nightmare that sticks with you for the rest of the day. I had this incredible fear of dying for some time afterward. Thinking that I had already experienced death and the afterlife and it was worse than any description of hell I'd ever imagined. I do not plan to use this drug again.

go in with a not to sound too cliché ...no worries go getter attitude...positive thinking is the key, you dont want to drift off in to some crazy interpersonal end of life experience within your subconscious. you got to be excited and actively interested to discover though your trip...its like lucid dreaming salvia/shroom trips are all about loss of ego and exploring the subconsious. you are very venerable and seemingly in a state of loss of control but you DO in fact posses the control to take your mind to spectacular places.

last time i tripped salvia i thought i was a spanish conquistador on horse back riding along the mediterranean coast of spain. when i first took my hit however i did not experience such great thoughts, i was confused and in a fog at first but i told myself to get up and pursued the trip, exploit it for all it was worth.

im trippin shrooms over thanksgiving break home from college and i hope to make it my best trip yet by totally eliminating worries, or misguided thoughts on the road for an un-enjoyable befuddling experience.

good music will be a factor.

Here are a few steps/Hints to a good Salvia experiance (not in order):

1.) Be in a chill enviroment that you are familar with (room e.t.c.)-prefablly with the lights off to avoid distraction, and some chill music (but not turned up to loud). These two are probally the most significant factors in a good salvia trip.

2.) Have a sitter!! Having a sitter is very important, although unlike shrooms and other psycadelic drugs, with salvia you don't usually know whats going on-sometimes you can't even hear your friend telling you everythings ok. So basically the sitters there to literly make sure you don't grab a knife, or jump off the porch, or anything like that.

3.) Salvia is NOT a social "drug", do not treat salvia like pot. Do not think of it as pot, it is a "Drug" of its own, it can't really be compared to anything. Treat the plant with respect and you will have a good trip.

4.) Go into smoking the salvia with a POSITIVE MIND SET *very important* your mind set before you even start smoking will greatly effect your trip.
If you had a crappy/bad day--don't smoke it--seriosuly, becuase those crappy events will only come back X100.
If you had a good day, smoke it, and make sure you are NOT nervous before you smoke it. If you are nervous--smoke some bud, and calm down, just make sure your totally ready for it. This will gurentee a good trip.

5.) For the best results from the high smoke salvia out of a glass bong--do it without water, and use a butane (blue flame) torch, and smoke the whole bowl/amout of extract in one breath and HOLD IT IN for as long as possible, let the smoke out-and there ya go

6.) Make sure to LIMIT PROPORTIONS. Salvia is VERY POTENT--VERY VERY POTENT STUFF, a SMALL PINCH of 10X or even 5X extract is all you need.
This is very important, if you read the above negative experiance--he obviosuly smoked HELLA salvia the 5th/last time "I used a tiny amount of leaves as a screen to keep the finely ground extract from falling into the bong. The rest of the bowl was filled with the extract" Thats obviosuly to much--the leaves he "used as a screen" would be enough for a trip! lol!
If you want to go to another demension-or get really really seriosuly fucked up, or go visit hell without knowing what the fuck is going on-sure go ahead and have a "spirtual journay" and smoke a bunch.

But proportion size with salvia--esspecially the extract is very very important.
Remember that Salvia D is the strongest hallunecgentic known to man.

I hope that this advice helps the next person wanting to smoke some salvia.
Follow these steps and I guretnee that you will have a good trip.

peace,
Will

PS: For the BEST salvia at the BEST prices go to www.iamshaman.com

PSS: Remember that the extract is the best stuff out there. 5x extract (off of iamshaman.com) is good enough for a nice high, probally no visuals--unless you smoke a good amount, but you will get a interesting high, and some visual distortion.
10X is a good starting extract (off of iamshaman.com) for massive hallucenations and visuals.
