I had tried salvia once before and I didnt use two lighters so I didnt feel the effects. So my friend, lets call him "k" desided to pick up a bag of 10x. I was egar to try it so I packed a fairly big sized bowl, about as much as I would a bowl of ganja (which I regret now) I held the pipe while "k" lit the two lighters. I held it in for as long as I could and I hear "k" say "hey man, are...are...are...are...are..." I was stuck in the same second over and over, then I realize I cant move my body and Im parilyzed. I start panicing trying to move any inch of my body, I find I can move my neck, so I start banging my head on the wall I am leaning against. After what seemed like after what seemed like half an hour, I noticed my friend is moving again and I can move again. Of course im pretty freaked out but after a couple of minutes I was ok. I still do salvia every once in a while I find in smaller doses it is qctually quite calming. and I highly recomend it to people who know they can handle it.
why panic? i know when doing salvia you can actually just become so estranged form yourself you dont act properly,but you should really have it engrained in your head that when you go to smoke this shit or do any psychedelic drug whatsoever,be prepared for the wierdest goddamn thing possible,you pretty much have to be ready to die,i think anyone not truly prepared to die or lose thier mind shouldnt touch intense drugs if your mind thinks "OH NO!!!I CANT MOVE!!" instead of fighting and freaking out trying to move,just go "ok"....and fuckin sit there and enjoy paralysis and see what you can explore
Why panic? Well, many times you can't remember how you got into this situation, who you are or where you are. So remembering not to panic is not always so easy. Experiencing the same second over and over again is quite disturbing, it's like you are trapped in a loop. I've experienced this on N2O also. Salvia can send you straight into non-existance, which is a terrifying experience the first time because you are fully aware that you will soon ceace to exist. It is much more intense than the ego loss experience of acid and shrooms.
My first salvia experience was a lot like yours. I tried to move but couldn't. Everything was repeating. I tried to speak but couldn't. It was definatley uncomfortable. It isn't controlable and you can't calm yourself by saying "it's o.k." Your mind is fucked on Salvia. I have had more pleasurable expereinces since then, but I am always a little hesitant before I smoke salvia.
