last night i smoked a pretty low/medium doze salvia and i must say: i expected something more. i mean i barely got any hallucinations. i just fellt a bit warm and when laid down my body was feelin a bit melty but thats about it. i was pretty much "there" during that hole time. the only visuals i got was that all straight lines where wavy. i know i smoked it right. i got it heated up right and everything. inhaled it right. held in the smoke for about 30-40 seconds. i guess i didnt take enough. i am pretty tall. i think ill try it again tonight but this time ill take a bit more. and this tim i will use a bong. (that tobacco pipe was leaving the smoke pretty hot.)
i expect you haven't researched it much. many people need to try a number of times before they get much of anything, and if you DO trip, its unbearably intense at times. frightening. not at all fun, but extremely useful as a tool. it teaches you, molds you. and when you REALLY trip on it, you're in a completely different world. personally, i very rarely use salvia, and never just to use it "to trip." i would not recommend it to anybody except at least moderately experienced psychedelic users who have used large doses of LSD or mushrooms or other intense, longer lasting substances for spiritual/psychological work before. no offense, but it probably really isn't for you. right now. wait a couple years, when you're older get some REAL experience with acid and mushrooms, THEN maybe try some strong extract. in the meantime, i'd recommend reading anything and everything you can get your hands on regarding the psychedelic experience. Andrew Weil has a good reference book about drugs called "From Chocolate to Morphine." I'm a bit more traditional, so i'd still strongly suggest reading things by Timothy Leary and Aldous Huxley and the earlier western explorers..... and of course for salvia-specific information you'll have to get some newer material, and erowid is a great start
i do know a whole lot about psychedelics and ive been endulged with shrooms a number of times. i have been reading about salvia for almost a year and now everything i read tells me the same things. you know. i have read through all the aspects of salvia and its uses. now i allready know everything i read. i guess its the fact that im 14 that gets people worried. i think people see 15 as much older than 14. but i may be wrong. and dont worry, im not taking salvia to laugh it up and have ball. i want to get a different view of things. reveal myself more to me, you know.
The night before last night i smoked the salvia that was left in my bag wich was something of medium/strong doze and this time it came through. The first thing that happened was that i started feeling very warm and my pulse increased a bit. I thought that the best thing to do is take some deep breaths so my heart rate slows down a bit. So i took some deep breaths and closed my eyes for a second. When i opened them again it felt as if everything had settled. I when upstairs for a second or so and then went down again. I hadnt realy smoked it all yet. There where still like a small doze left. Inhaled this and i layed down on the bed. I looked at this kindda psychedelic grateful dead poster on the wall and it started moving. Then i looked at the roof lamp and it started growing and whinding itself towards me. I looked at the grateful dead poster again. It was moving a little to the left. Then i noticed that it was draging the entire wall. The walls in my room where now spinning slowly. I layed back and started thinking about how much time has passed during trip. It felt like a year or two. I looked at the clock and found that it had only gone about 15-20 minutes. I thought to myself: "Does it realy matter how much time has gone by?" I started feeling like i was in another world. Well not another world but just as if i had temporarily left a game to rest and get a grip. I started thinking about how ive been living my life and i gotta tell you: ive never felt more pleased and grateful. The whole trip lasted for about 45 minutes and was realy something. It was a nice experience...
1st time i did salvia not much happened either, i got a heavy feeling and layed down but nothing else really happened, the 2nd time i did it i didnt really get visuals but it was crazy because my perceptions of everything were extremely twisted and time didnt exist, i also listened to pink floyd the 2nd time i did salvia and it was absolutely amazing.
