Hey everyone my mom let my older brother order a gram of 5x salvia a few days ago and it should be arriving tomorrow. now we both never tried it before and really want to. but here is where the problem comes in, he has been reading some reports of people on it and hes now saying he might not give me any becasue he doesnt want anything bad happening to me and that i should just wait till im older. of course i was pissed becasue ive always wanted to try it and i even gave him the idea to order and all that now hes pussin out on me. well what do u think i should do? wait or just like beg him to give me some? or is it too powerful for a 14 year old mind to handle? suggestons pleasee
I'm not saying that a 14 year old mind can't be mature enough to handle it, but I have yet to meet a 14 year old that I would be comfortable in giving any hallucinogen. In my opinion most people are not mature enough even at 18. It is useful to be relativly well oriented in this world before exploring others. I started smoking hasj at 18 and doubt that it would have been any good for me to start earlier. I have freinds that I would not give hallucinogens even though they are 30+. It is a highly individual thing were no hard rules can be established. Some people would benifit from such substances while others are just not ready to "wake up" yet. Waking up from the Matrix can be traumatic and desorientating if the individual is not philosophically ready for other versions of reality. It may even tip mentally unstable individuals over the edge. It has happened with LSD, shrooms and other substances and it may happen with salvia as well. Just because we havn't heard about it yet, dosn't mean that it hasn't or can't happen. Just because it is legal dosn't mean it's harmless. Tobacco and alcohol are legal though they are the narcotics that kill the most people.
Well, Salvia has no toxic or harmful effects on the body. However, the experience will almost certaily blow you away. I would not recommend it to a 14 year old. Salvia is known to be one of the most overwhelmingly powerful psychoactives in existance ... I know experienced trip-heads who have said that Salvia is even more powerful than both LSD and heroin (although it isn't addicting at all).
im not gonna sit here and say "no you may not do it" it really is up to you to try it. Salvia in my experiences, i simply loved, but it is very intense, if you really think you're ready for an intense in your face psychedelic experience, then go for it, but i would reccomend waiting a couple years, until you have tried other heavy psychedelics to see if your ready. If you can handle yourself well in an intense acid and or mushroom trip, or any other heavy psychedelic for that matter, then i would say go for it, by all means. The thing with salvia though, is that it hits you SO fast and SO hard, that the almost instantaneous switch from reality, to another world may freak the shit out of you. Use caution bro and good luck if you do try it.
In my own opinion, i think Salvia is awesome, and even if you absolutely HATE it, just remind yourself that it will be over in no more than about 20-30 minutes. I think that is an advantage of Salvia in comparison to acid/ mushrooms, if your wiggin out on those two, then what really sucks is that you may have hours before it ends, with Salvia, your done in half hour tops, and don't be freaked out if your skin flushes completely red, because the same shit has happened to me, and i can assure you, it goes away after the trip is done.
