1st time and plain leaf

Hi everyone. I have ordered a fourth of an ounce of plain salvia leaf from salviablue.com (through ebay). It doesn't have any extract on it. This will be my first time with salvia. I have used before: Damiana, catnip, california poppey, poppey seed tea, nutmeg (awesome trip), valerian, morning glory seeds(untreated but chewed 150, no hallucinations, I was just getting to know the plant), kava, nitrous oxide, caffeine (a gram in a day of pure caffeine, plus normal american doses), passion flower, wormwood, hops, alchohol, and broom flowers. I was just wondering what you guys thought about these non-enhanced salvia leaves. I am a 16-year-old male. I have read quite a bit about it between here and sagewisdom and erowid and wikipedia. I will be using a home-made ice water bong. Thanks.

 

Personally, I have never experienced anything other than a very mild buzz from the 1x leaf.

I'm going to try a one-gram quid of it tomorrow and see what happens.

Salvia is something that is best eased into, so even if you don't feel anything at first, it's usually for the best because, to me, having a light experience and getting to know the ride is better than getting blown away the first time and never touching it again.

Scan these boards a bit - there's a lot of good advice.

I think you'll be pretty much okay with the 1x to start out on.

Were you going to smoke it, or chew it?

 

Well I'm getting a fourth of an ounce, or 7 grams. By erowid.org, that is 14 smoked doses of average potency. I thought this whole batch would go to familiarizing myself with the lady, and see where it goes from there. I'll pry smoke a bowl, (like the size of a plastic pop bottle cap), first, and see what that was like. If I want more, I will take another bowl and so on within like five minutes. I hope to also try a quid with my batch.

uhh...you have used a literal buffet of drugs...but...may i ask...WHY HAVENT YOU SMOKED WEED???????

 

That's the smart way to do it. Remember to hold the flame over the herb the entire time, and hold your breath for at least 20 seconds.

I've never gotten off on 1x, but I did feel a little "something".

It really is best to ease your way into Salvia, like you're doing.

Be sure to stop back by and tell us how it went.

 

I have gotten 1 OZ of the dried leaf. I am trying to decide if doing 4 or 5 grams in a quid would be too much for a first timer. I have experience in high energy Psychedellics LSD and high quality Shrooms. One thing that worries me a little is I am coming down from liquer, but i have my Salvia in hand. I have mixed speed, xtc and lsd in my past. The speed enhanced paranoia, visuals and over all the energy pulsing through my being. Does anyone know if the amp will enhance the effects and is it a good idea to wait till i the alcohol is out of my system?

 

Salvia is so freaking unlike anything else, that I would recommend waiting.

I've never mixed the two. I used to do acid, shrooms - Salvia is nothing like either of them.

I used to do meth, too, so I know what you mean by the paranoia.

I'd quid between 1 and 2 grams of standard leaf, for starts, like early in the morning or late at night, and sans the speedski.

Just my two cents.

 

Its been almost 24 hour period. And i am a pretty big guy, 6'4" 280. 1-2g's sounds a little weak, dont you think?

 

Yeah - it is kind of weak.

I'm a big guy, too.

I'm going to quid 1g tomorrow (teabag) just to get a baseline. Then I'll probably bump it up slowly.

I'll let you guys know. I'm no expert but, for me, doing too little Salvia (especially in the beginning) is better than doing too much.

Go with your guts and let us know what happened.

 

LOL, my guts say go all out or go home. but, in this case, ill probably just 3g it. I read soaking it in like water to kill the bitterness. Will kool-aid work also?

 

And i am just waiting for the kids to go to bed so i have peace and quiet.

 

Well have a good one!

I'll be curious to hear the details!

 

QUIDS ARE NASTY!!! But, it wasnt that bad. Only up untill the 30 minute mark of it being under my tongue and having all the saliva built up not spitting any of it out or swallowing, I about gagged. I took about 2 1/2g's of it and the effects where there but not intense at all. Visual wise, i was in a darkened room with the only light that was emitting anywhere was from the window. It played a huge part in the visuals. There was a swirling and wave like effect, both light and dark intertwining with eachother. About 20 minutes into it, closing my eyes an inner visual came to light. An image of something that to me represented a gate. It was in the shape of a triangle with a 3 dimensional sphere in its centre. Reflecting colors of yellow, red, orange, greens. Haha, it just came to mind, but, to put it simply. It looked like the Darkside of The Moon prism. But it has the multi-color light shooting of to the side. My visual had the light pointing straight at me. Then I fell asleep. I was tired afterall.

 

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I still haven't done mine - it's cold and crappy here and I'm feeling sore.

Have you smoked Salvia before? How did this compare to smoking if you did?

 

Nah i havent smoked it yet. It was my first time last night. I dont know how long i should space it out between sessions. can i do it again today?

 

The straight leaf did not alot for me, whether smoked or quid-ed. Saw myself on the edge of a beautiful cliff when I smoked once, and all times I felt like I was much larger. Arms, legs everything out of proportion. Chewing only got me feeling what I can only describe as a drunk high. Have some 10x here now that I'm just looking for a way to use- dont' have a device.

I've never done it two days in a row, but I have read several times that Salvia has a reverse tolerance, so...if you're up for it, why not?

 

Why haven't I smoked weed? I live with my parents, and still afraid to get caught. My parents are about as square as they come, and have given my U. A.'s. They are fundamentalist protestand evangelical christians, (the kind that hates buddhists even), staunch conservative republicans, mildly racist, and my dad is an oil executive. They drilled it pretty hard into me that I would get caught if I smoked weed. I'm waiting for this summer or something.

 

You don't really need the weedski right now, anyway. You're young. It can wait.

Since you've tried so many things, it seems like you're looking for something, more so than the average person.

 

I use 'drugs' to better enjoy my life, and brain change. See Leary's 8-circuit model of conscioussness. I guess I just haven't found something perfect yet. I have some wild dagga/lions tail and sacred egyptian lily on the way with my salvie, we'll see how they work for me. I also like to have a wide variety avaliable to me, so I can feel however I want to.
