Insane Salvia Experience (Longgggg Read)

[theVirtuoso]

Alright, so a few friends and I went and bought some 40x Salvia in hopes of a new experience. I had already attempted Salvia twice, but the effects were merely physical and had no "trip" so to speak. (that was 10x)

Well, I was pretty certain I was going to have a crazy time, but I didn't in any way expect this...

We had a torch lighter, my bubbler (I couldn't find second piece to my metal bowl because I didn't want my bubbler's glass to deform) and of course, we had or 40x Salvia (1g).

My friend went first, and to leave things short... he had what I expected of a normal salvia trip.

Now, I was being very cautious, because this wasn't the setting I enjoyed when it came to psychedelics (enclosed space, not really close friends, etc), but I was overall in a great mood and was looking forward to the trip.

At this point the torch lighter ran out of fuel, so we used my normal lighter, holding the hottest part of the flame up to the salvia for some time when taking our hits.

After my first hit I felt like I did my last times trying, just felt "stoned". As though I was being pulled into some odd hole in the world.

About 20 minutes passed, we had started passing around the bubbler packing minimal amounts of salvia into the bowl and taking turns. I was ready for my second hit...

I load up a big bowl, twice as much as I used before and probably about the same amount my friend who first tripped used. I took my hit, held it for 30 seconds (counting slow), set the bubbler/lighter down, and exhaled. Nothing... really nothing changed, I felt the same, so I didn't think anything else of it.

Within a couple minutes it happened.

Next thing I know I forgot all about where I was, who I was with... it was as though it never happened, and it was as though reality was no more. There was only me, and I was lost inside my own head.

The only way to describe it is like a reel, or a book (the book being sideways). I felt like I was falling and falling, each reel or page being a different reality, and I kept trying to grab onto each reality and pull myself back into it, but failed, I just couldn't do it.

The first thought the gripped my mind was "not again". I cannot explain this, but I had such a profound feeling of deja vu it was unbelievable. I had to have had this trip in a dream, because I am positive it has happened before, and I forgot about it until now. It's as though I was being forcefully taken from my world and thrown into someone else's. I hated it, I had no control over it, I liked the fact that I had a great grip, or so I thought, on what reality was... and here I was learning everything I knew was a lie (I had completely forgot I smoked salvia, where I was, everything, it was just... me).

So basically to sum that up I thought the world as I knew it (emphasis: as I knew it) was over, and a new one was about to begin. Again the strong sense of deja vu still overwhelming me.

For what seemed like hours (which was actually only a minute or two) I fell and fell, failing to grip reality, until I finally grabbed hold of one of the edges of the "page" and pulled myself back in. Once I returned to my world I was still tripping. I didn't recognize where I was (even though Im there everyday), who I was with, or how I got there. I felt insanely depressed, like my life had just ended, and I honestly had one small suicidal thought before I got ahold of myself.

So yep, that was my "trip". I guess you could call it a bad trip, but I am not entirely sure what to call it, it was just plain weird. It only lasted a minute or two, it took a couple minutes to hit me and it hit me like a train. I was indeed not prepared for that abrupt change, but in no way do I think it mattered since I had completely forgot anything and everything during the trip. I was completely inside my own head. Not one of my senses worked, but damn was I freaked out. Like I stated, I wouldn't call it a bad trip, but I certainly wouldn't call it a good trip. I can only call it... an experience I won't soon forget.

I apologize for the long read, I only hope some of you aren't too lazy to read it I would greatly appreciate some feedback. Maybe some of you have had the same experience? This TRULY freaked me out. I wasn't scared, but I had so much anxiety, because I had absolutely zero control over that trip. Every time I have taken drugs like shrooms, lsd, or any other hallucinogen I have been able to keep a steady head and reassure myself mostly because I knew I was on a drug, I knew I would come back to reality, and I had control. This was like nothing I have ever experienced. There were no hallucinations, but I have never had such a hard mental trip in my life.

You can explain colors, visual distortions, etc... but how do you explain that feeling? Your whole world coming down on you, that feeling of absolutely no control whatsoever, the feeling your life will never be even remotely the same... in a bad way. I could go on and on and just never find the right words... or even enough words to describe it, I only hope you understand.

haha I was just thinking about it some more... and this may not make much sense, but it does to me... this pertains to my friends and I wanting to do DMT, but after this experience I have decided against it.

I think psychedelics such as lsd or shrooms are more of a journey that you consciously create, while on the other hands, psychedelics such as DMT or Salvia the journey is already set out subconsciously, and you are forced to explore it. Well, don't think any of that means a bad thing, it is just personal preference. I have always enjoyed having control, and being able to reassure myself, there was no way during that trip that I could reassure myself, or take the trip into another direction, I was simply along for the ride and nothing more. Plus I hated the fact I completely forgot I had taken anything whatsoever... I felt... insane.

Oh well, hehe. Just have to take it all in, as I'm sure I haven't yet. I have had a few thoughts here and there as to what the hole trip really meant, but I haven't really been able to calm my mind enough since the event to be able to just concentrate.

I thought I was a pillar in front of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taj_Mahal lol. It seemed like at least 30 minutes passed but it was only one or two seconds. Salvia is weird.. I don't like it very much but it is definitely quite an experience

[Clairvoyant]

Dude! I have had that same exact thing happen to me, what with the going into your mind, forgetting your on salvia, and reality being turned into a lie. Sept, I was trying to grab onto book pages and I wasn't falling. I was opening towards, going through them and instantly apppearing at the next door. And it DID seem like it was going on for hours.

God salvia is crazy! To bad it was made illegal in Kansas a few mnoths ago :\

[C21H30O2.]

I'm pretty sure it's going to be made illegal all over by 2012 or something like that. I remember hearing something about it. I don't doubt it though. All these stupid videos you can find of it on youtube. Some are by people who know what they're doing, but there is a lot by kids and stuff.. getting attention from News stations. So obviously it's going to get banned. Probably should. It's some pretty potent stuff.
I know when I came back to.. I was just like.. wtf, I'm a human being. I completely forgot about earth, my body, friends around me.. it was like you go completely into your concience or something.. which would explain the extremely vivid feelings and visions. It's like having a really vivid dream while you're "awake".

Yeah, so much crazy stuff can happen. The first time I did it, this happened:

The second time, I just saw little mountains growing up out of my carpet and everything else was the same. The third time I broke through again, but don't remember it. And if you read my long thread on my trip, you'll notice a lot of it is sports related and I happened to have ESPN on. I think with things like Salvia and DMT, your trip is very much dependent on what you see around you and what you are thinking about at that moment... So maybe in a different environment you'd like it more (hard to say though, I'm never doing it again)...

Saliva is insane bro, top 3 trips of mine (20, 40, + 80X) I've done, 80X = 89$ a gram such a waste

80X - On my deck my house ate my friend Nick and I was running through my yard (2 acres) and the grass was going over my head and going down it was crazy

40X - Was in Vermont with Nick and I took a fat bowl to my face, everything I looked at was in triangles and everything was shaking.

BEST TRIP 40X - In Vermont I smoked a even fatter bowl the next night, I started laughing uncontrollably and this is at 1 in the morning I look at my friend he screams FUCK THERE'S A GIANT MOSQUITO ON YOU and stabs my stomache with a stick and I look down and hold my stomache as blood POURS from it and I look up at the stick there is Bill Gates FACE ON IT downright crazy
