Salvia?

SWIM took it and was frozen in place while the table unzipped in front of him, and the candle holder turned into that talking one from Beauty and the Beast.

Another person I met said he was transported to the world of Toy Story for a bit, but I'm not sure if I believe him...
 
SWIM had a pretty epically terrible experience. Amazing and horrible.

Not sure if I should post it on the internet. I feel it's somewhat epic though.
 
Tastes like cat piss, you trip real hard for a real short time, and feel shitty the rest of the day. Definitely not worth it in my opinion, but I'm not saying you shouldn't try it.
 
fuckin loved it. Took it once saw a bunch of cartoon birds and space invaders descend on me it was very very overwhelming like paralyzingly intense lol but went in thinking it would be fun and it was.
 
If there's a chance people that you know might start cooking meth in the trailer you're smoking salvia in you might have a bad time.
 
Is it like shrooms where when something negative or dark happens and you just loose it? Like is watching a horror movie a bad idea or is everything just a good time?
 
This has its own thread but ill post it in here since its about salvia

-

A couple of people have showed intrest in hearing this story for a while, and I've never really fully typed it out. I guess todays the day to share my experience. (feel free to skip the background and shit n go straight to the trip itself, idc)

----

BACKGROUND-

Its my junior year of highschool, at this point in my life I was pretty in to smoking weed and learning about other drugs/narcotics. A descent amount of my time would be spent online (websites such as 420chan and ERWOID) Many of you probably think that sounds stupid as hell, wasting my time studying drugs, but I always found the topic interesting and I enjoy having a wide understanding of different subjects. I never took any other drug in my life at this point, and wasnt really planning on experimenting with anything either (The world of drugs is a scary and amazing place at the same time).

A descent amount of time was spent learning about psychedelics and the ways they effect you. Learning about LSD, LSA, Shrooms, Peyote, DMT etc. was cool; seeing how these substances effected you absolutely blew my mind, however I didnt feel comfortable trying any of these just yet (mostly cause trippin for hours was a scary concept to me). Then I heard about Salvia. 15 minute trip, almost no come down, no side effects and you just havta take a hit, oh and its a plant too, like weed. Sick.

(Note- I am not a "stoner" by any means, most people have no idea I even smoke)

Getting the goods-

I live in IL, salvia is not legal in my state. Fuck. This was gonna be a serious problem, how am I going to get my hands on this shit? Well, weeks go by and I am pretty content with not having tried salvia yet, but then it happened. One day while browsing 420chan on the psychedelic board there was a salvia thread. I post in this thread for a few minutes and then some guy just tells me to email him... Sketchy.... But ill do it. So I exchange emails with this guy for a couple days and he seems really legit. No red flags or anything that made me suspicious. What I go on to find out, the guy lives in Canada, and grows his own salvia, makes extracts and sells it. Sick. Finally, I got a hook up. I sent him $20 in cash the first time, got a G of 20x salvia a few weeks later. Well I smoke all that with some friends and trip, its all fun but I see oppertunity. Everyone who tried it, loved it. I needed more, enough to sell.

Open for business-

I had good contact with this canadian guy and decided to make a bigger purchase. Bought a whole ounce of 20x via cash in the mail. Sure enough, a couple weeks later I get a "Dumb and Dumber" VHS in the mail, it was totally gutted and stuffed with a bag full of the mystical green plant matter. Since salvia became such a hype monster/ hot commodity cause of me, and I was the only person who had any, I ran a complete monopoly. I would sling .5 bags for $20 and all was good. I would trip with friends a pretty good amount. Had some great trips, scary trips, you name it. The way I saw it, even when I would have a scary trip, it was 15 minutes. I would look back on them and just think "damn that was crazy" I never became fearful or scared of it. One of my best friends cried while tripping, that happened twice.

THE TRIP

Its 8pm and I am home alone. Bored out of my mind, might as well leave my mind. I decide to make a waterfall bong out of an ice mountain bottle and a bowl. I make a small hole in the bottle to maximize milkiness. (In case you were not aware, salvia is consumed in one large hit, that is held in as long as possible) I pack a little bowl (ok fine, it was pretty damn big, I had a lot of the shit) and go in my bathroom. I fill the bottle with water, hold the hole, spark the bowl and let the water flow into my bathtub.

The thick, heavy smoke poured down from the bowl, sitting on the water that was slowly disappearing. The water slowly emptied out, being replaced with the thick, yellow smoke, that shit got milkier then milk. I unscrew the cap to the magical smoke, bring it to my lips..

Inhale.

Hold.

Hold.

Hold.

Hold.

and it begins. The first effect you will notice when holding in your salvia hit is the wobbly vision. Usually about 10 seconds in your vision will quite literally begin to wobble. At this point most people just let the smoke release from their lungs. Being experienced, I just held on until I needed a breath of air.

I release my hit, and feel the effects beginning.

I stand up from sitting on the side of the bath tub and look straight in front of me. My mirror stands there (I think this is what led to the intensity of the trip), reflecting everything in a much more surreal way then a sober mind could imagine.

(This is where it really starts)

I stand there, staring at myself in this mirror. No sound, no motion; just staring. Slowly my vision advances out of my head, hard to explain this, but imagine if your vision could float around a see things in the third person but you cant control it. My vision goes about a foot infront of my body, then turns upwards and goes behind me. I am now staring at the back of my body from an upward angle (about 45 degrees, or like 8 feet high and 6 feet back) I can see my body. Why am I not in my body? Then it begins, I start slowly going backwards, away from my body. At a rate of about 1 ft per 4 seconds, I was moving further and further away from the back of my body/shell.

Now I begin to worry. My spirit has left my body, leaving behind just a shell and I will never get back to it. No matter how hard I tried or wanted to go back towards my body it wouldnt help. I was just slowly moving away from my starting point. No amount of effort would even slow me down, let alone let me back. The world that surrounded my body (that I was viewing from 3rd person) Was much much more intense then normal. Colors and lights were much more vivid. However, I was much more worried about being stuck as a spirit for the rest of time then the pretty colors.

For what felt like half and hour I slowly progressed backwards from my shell.

As I further moved backwards I passed through a door, not any kinda regular door, the best way to describe it was a submarine door. Like this-

wipshow.jpg


Except It was open and the door was entirely the most pure white color I have ever seen. This really freaked me out, Now my spirit is not even in the same dimension that my body is in. I have entirely left my life. In this new room I had the ability to turn my head, finally. I look to my left and see an infinite hallway, all white. This wasnt a normal hallway, this hallway was lined on both sides with a never ending amount of these submarine like doors. I look to my right, more doors. I can still see inside my door when I look forward and can see my entire existence within this one room. And every single one of those other doors, contained another humans life. I was in the hallway of existence itself. I could see millions of individuals lives, equal to mine. Living what they think is expansive and crazy, when they're just another door. Just another room with a body and soul in it, not unique in a massive sense but completely unique on a personal scale. Everything I have ever known, everyone I ever met, anything I had ever seen, in one, little room. One little room among the masses.

From there my trip faded and I had to sit down for about an hour to wrap my mind around what I just witnessed. Definitely an eye opening experience that I feel very lucky for having.

TL;DR- Smoked salvia, spirit/conscious mind left my life entirely, thought I would never get back, witnessed everybody elses lives, experienced the meaning of life.
 
Definitely worth doing once. I mean why not, it's quick, readily available and an interesting experience for most.

My experience with it was pretty lame. Took a huge rip, held it in as long as I could and... barely anything happened. Just hysterical laughter for maybe 30 seconds and crazy flushing of my skin that made it hurt to the touch. Similar to sunburn. Then felt shitty for an hour.
 
Fuck salvia I've done it so many times and I just ruined it for myself 10x is pretty cool but after fuckijg around with 30x and higher it kind of ruined my perception of a lot of hallucinogens don't do it do something cool like shrooms or mescaline.
 
Did it once. Had a weird trip that followed with my body feeling like it was heating up uncontrollably and then getting onset with nausea. Would not recommend.
 
We had some like 20 or 40x.... was stupid as fuck. The only thing that happened was that no one would listen to me. I felt very alone and afraid.
 
It's a very up or down experience, like every hallucinogen. Just go into it prepared, with friends and a good attitude and you'll be fine.
 
It's real hit or miss. I've done it about 6 times and 50% of the time I have a real positive strong trip where I leave the conscious plane of life we know and love and travel to some distant universe where it feels like thousands of years are going by -- I saw a civilization rise and fall one time it was incredible.

Then the other 50% of the time I stay in my current level of consciousness and just interact with the world around me in interesting ways but it is usually a little uncomfortable and not all that enjoyable.

If I knew I would get the former experience rather than the latter I would do it more often but then I discovered acid which is much more mellow and enjoyable.
 
haha oh high school. I remember like 10 kids went to a park to watch one of our friends do it (yes, we drove to WATCH our friend on salvia, turned out pretty funny though). I think it was 40x, but he hit it then laid down on the ground. He then started crawling after one of my friends who was on crutches, while hysterically laughing. My buddy on crutches just backed up but the kid kept coming. Then finally he stopped, laid down, and chilled for like 30 seconds and it was over. I guess he thought he was underwater and my friend on crutches was a turtle and all of the houses were bubbles. Sounded like a good time to me.
 
I gather from the post that you do not sell it anymore, but how would I get some in illinois without using silk road?
 
Best chance would be to have a friend to send/bring you some from a place where it is legal. Its not a popular substance by any means so I could see it being difficult to just find. Or grow and extract yourself, not very difficult at all
 
grasscity.com used to sell salvia x10 and x20 extract but I seem to find the "legal high" section in the shop anymore. I think they might have taken it down
 
There is no come down. It just wears off. The whole trip takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes. Whoever told you the comedown sucks is a moron.
 
i had a terrible experience, it didn't work i tried it 3 different time, i can explain to u what i felt ilke, my phone was ringing and i just couldn't move my body to get the phone and had he weirdest high ever, i didn't like it at all, i felt like i porphed into the couch that was it
 
Coming down isn't worth the trip itself in my opinion. I was covered in sweat and felt itchy and gross afterwards. However log rolling down rainbow road was fun while it lasted...
 
the sweating and crawling skin is more of an effect during the trip I would say and it quickly subsides once youre done. Overall the trip lasts 15 min max, the uncomfortableness max 30 min, and after fade for 45 max
 
Tomorrow is my only day off this week, and I'm gonna be longboarding with my best friend who's smoked salvia a bunch of times and can easily get me some.. I'm highly considering trying it out tomorrow. If I do I'll be back with my experience.
 
salvia is fun. I would recomend not doing what I did and tripping on like 40x first try ever. Shit fucked me up for a while.

 
It's kind of like this: You take the black pebbles out of the box and pack them into your bowl/bong, whatever. You get all comfortable and seriously consider if you really want to trip or not. You make the decision "Yeah lets do this." Your friends look at you in anticipation as you light the bowl. Boom!, you suck and suck and you suck, and then you hold, hold just a little more, nothings happening, nothing is haaaapeniiinnng, EXHALE, ohhhhh shiiiiit, sommmmeeeethinnng, ISSSSS HAPPPPPENNNNNING. The world starts to spin, reality very quickly starts to morph closer into a circle of multiple colors. Then your in the Sahara desert, yet the sand dunes are made out of peanut butter, you crawl up one just to see whats on the other side, as you get to the peek you look down into a 2-D universe of basic shapes, you stare longer and suddenly you see the floor, and then you realize your in a bed, and where the fuck did the peanut butter go, oh don't look at the wall because there's a black hole there, oh nope its just a sign on your friends wall, and then its over, and your like what the fuck it's been 5 minutes? And that's salvia kids holy shit it's crazy.
 
Like I said before, I wouldnt consider it a come down. Its more of a side effect. A come down would mean a negative post usage effect ( depression, apathy, dysphoria, anxiety, fatigue, intense hunger, paranoia and insomnia.) While the sweat you get during a salvia trip is immediate and subsides within 30 minutes. I would say 60% of the time I never even started sweating, usually if your in a hot stuffy room (think garage during the summer)you'll most likely sweat
 
I like more polite posts like this, But anyways, I understand now. Makes sense. Still would take shrooms if I had the chance. But anyone would, honestly. When people hear salvia, they think of laced weed or some shit I feel like. (sounds like it kind of is, Almost same method of intake it seems)
 
I agree, the thing that is unappealing about shrooms and cid (have done both) to me is the duration of the trip, if you have a bad trip your fucked for 5+ hours, salvia you freak out for a few minutes and its all good. My ideal length would be an hour or so.
 
Ya thats another good point. Shit starts going haywire on salvia and its over in like 20 mins whereas shrooms you're fucked all day long.
