I did Mushrooms once, four years ago. I'll never forget it. Does this compair? From the internet videos I've seen it most definatly does. http://www.salviazone.com/store/red.php thats what I bought btw.
okay man let me awnser your question as best as i can. ive only fucked with the girl they call sally D three times. the first time, i smoked leaf, 10 bowls between 4 people. i got an effect that lasted a very long time in comparison. the second time i did not know what i was in for. i smoked a small cone in a bong and completely cleared it. this was 20x i think. i had a very intense experience that was short lived. the next day (yesterday) i ran downtown to buy some 20x wondering if people normally trip that hard on salvia. so i smoked it in a bong wiht my friends in a park at a picnic table (turned out to be a great setting.) as soon as i exhaled the ride began. if my friends were not there i dont know how i would have reacted. but they handled it well. Salvia is more intense than mushrooms. way more intense. i guess it compares though. imagine taking 11 grams of potent mushrooms and them hitting you 30 seconds after putting them in your mouth. within 15 more seconds you peak off of them. its kinda like that except in 5 minutes you wont be that high anymore. its a short trip for sure but it packs a mean punch. my advice to you is DONT FIGHT IT. whatever happens after you exhale your smoke go with it. if you feel like taking off your clothes, do it i guess. just be in a situation where that is acceptable, with 2 friends that wouldnt mind. 2 good friends that you TRUST. ones that arent going to fuck with you while tripping. dont be scared. you may be frightened by what you see or feel while you are on it. but relax it isnt going to hurt you. if all else fails and my post is useless to you, or you do decide to trip. you always have all of us here in the forum who are more than happy to help you out in anyway we can. where in canada are you from??
Thats doc I should have my 20x by next weekend. I'm from London Ontario BTW, its south of Toronto and less then 2 hours north of Detroit.
lol no need to tell me where it is fool i live in toronto. its just a little bus ride away. but seriously the one thing im going to stress is dose. 20X is some powerful shit. most people on here use 5x or 10x or 15x it seems. just pack a really small bowl. at the same time you have to make sure you smoke everything in that bowl in a bong and make sure you keep the lighter on the bowl the entire time and suck the entire time, when its done clear the bong chamber and hold it in for 30+ seconds as soon as you exhale you best be ready. it would be helpful if someone could post a picture of what a small bowl of 20x would look like. im sure you probibally smoke pot. you know how much pot you can smoke, to pack a bowl with etc... with salvia you need much less. think like 0.05 of a gram, or 1/20th of the bag or even a little less. especially since you can always smoke a little bit more the next time, you dont want to go overboard. i was gonna say if u lived in toronto maybe we could meet up and experiment with this shit but london is too far fuck it and i dont habitually meet up with people off the net.
shrooms are more fun. salvia is very short very intense could be enlightening but not as pleasant and ecstatic as shrooms. different kind of feeling different kind of hallucinations way different experience. I don't think they are at all similar.
Maybe you should start out with a smaller dose to test the waters out. If you have never experienced what Salvia is, then 20x could seriously mess you up. I have a friend at school who was dying to try salvia. I told him that he should try a 5x or something and he just said, fuck no give me the good shit. So I did, and i tried to explain to him that his body will pretty much mean nothing during the trip. He will be thrown into outer space and he shouldn't fight anything that happens. Well, he ended up having a bad trip solely because he didn't understand or have some sort of prior experience to what salvia will show him. Bad trips are by no means necessary, you should just know what you're getting yourself into before hand. Good luck. Peace, Steven P.s.- I really wouldn't compare mushrooms to salvia. I guess it would be like taking 11 grams and feeling the effects in 15 sec, but since that can't happen don't try to compare them. IMO, they are VERY different.
Sorry to disagree, but salvia is NOT "way more intense than mushrooms." It is completely different. I see how one would think this, but it just isn't true... Let me break it down for you: Salvia is like becoming a wall or a conveyor belt for five minutes. Seriously. If you do enough, you have no idea who you are for at least a couple of minutes. You might not even remember much of the trip at all. Shrooms is like remaining completely in reality (assuming a normal dose), yet your entire perception of reality is completely shattered... time loses meaning, your very identity is changed or destroyed, your senses are firing like CRAZY. It's completely different. Sure, salvia is way more "intense" in that it is five minutes long and you become a one dimensional object or something, but I would much more readily take a hit of salvia than eat an eighth of shrooms... not even CLOSE... a shroom trip, like an acid trip, has the potential to be a psychological TRAIN WRECK. Salvia is just like, "what the FUCK just happened to me?" Big difference.
Salvia does not compair to mushrooms except in the most superficial way - colors, tracers, hearing music differently. But with shrooms, I could play hacky-sac with my buds and still play it well. I know I couldn't play hacky if my life depended on it with Salvia. For me, Salvia is more foreboding, too.
salvia hits you like a car and for 5 or so minutes you are on the ground from the accident. after that, you're fine. what i'm saying is dont expect a gradual come up and easy time. salvia is one thing you cannot control. if having a bad experience just try and remember that its 10 minutes long max.
I would say that salvia is a lot more than just becoming a wall. If that's the only thing that happens to you, that's fine, but don't put every other salvia trip in the same category. It gets way more complex than that. There are many realizations and a huge variety of experiences to be had. Especially if instead of smoking it you use the quid method. Than it will be a much longer experience with a more or less controllable environment. It can get just as intense as a smoked trip also. Either way, there's more to it than just some inane moment where you melt into some random object, though that can happen on the way . Peace, Steven
I've found that keeping a big glass of cold water nearby helps when the Salvia gets too intense. When I get to the point where it's too much, I drink the water and it either stabilizes the trip, or brings me down a few notches. And it’s true – even the most intense trip only lasts about 20 minutes – keep telling yourself that, even though when you're "there" it might feel like hours.
