Nightmare trip on plain leaf

ok, so you guys know I've tried the plain leaf twice, both with pretty good results.. So I tried it again tonight.. and this trip is a perfect example of why you need a damn sitter!
ok, so I used the same home made bong
I packed a full bowl of the finely crushed leaf (probably 2-3 small leaves)
took one full hit. nothing
took another full hit... felt the early coming on effects of being pulled down
Now, I should have just stopped here. no.
third hit.. I sucked it in, and right after I stopped sucking.. I fell right out.. I barely had the ability to put the bong down.. I don't remember exhaling.. Now this is when things go horribly wrong. I'm doing this salvia session in my bedroom.. Both windows are open, and I can hear people outside, somewhere..
Right after I put the bong down, I heard a police siren from a car just passing by.. This scared the living shit out of me.. Police sirens don't scare me, but under the influence of S.D... I thought the police were out to get me.. I thought I was in deep freakin shit.. I stood up, and frantically pulled the bowl out of the bong.. I thought the police were gonna see the smoke or my bong!!!! no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pulled the down tube out of the bong and tried to put the embers out, but I couldnt't do it without burning myself!.. everything was dark and kind of foggy looking.. I thought I was going to die because the cops would catch me smoking! I spit on the embers.. and that didn't really work because my mouth was very dry.. so..

I ran to the kitchen to put the bowl embers out.. I couldn't make my hands turn the sink on.. so I opened the fridge, looking for some liquid to put the bowl out with.. I grabbed the OJ and just poured some of it out to put the bowl out.. I got it all over my hands and my bare feet.. I also spilled it all over the floor..
OK.. now I put the container back in the fridge (without the cap) and just threw the bowl into the fridge and slammed the door.. I ran to the front door and peered out, but not seeing much
I still thought I was in terrible danger, so I ran back to my bedroom, hid the bong in my closet, and lied under the bed, trying to hide.. By now I was coming back down to reality a bit.. so I just checked that everything was well hidden and cut the fan on to get rid of any smoke or smell left.. I thin just lied on the bed, praying for this trip to be fucking over.. after about half an hour, I had regained most of my touch with reality, so I cleaned my hands and feet up, cleaned the floor up, and sat down in my desk chair next to my PC desk to wait the after effects out.. I guess I was back to normal within the next hour..
Now I can't help but laugh about it now, but I had never been so scared in my life, man! I guess the best way to describe the feeling was to say it was like trying to run in a dark, smoky room, with hundreds of arms trying to hold me back..

This bad trip has taught me to have a sitter next time, or to at least be in more of a calm state when I smoke.. I was pretty stressed this time, and Im sure that made the trip worse.. Next time, I will be much more calmed down..

 

I am still amazed at how fucked up I was, yet I could still run around and do all those things.. I must have been really really scared!

 

sorry, I just wrote that as if memories were pouring out of my head.. so it might have been difficult to follow

 

for some reason I always get the fear when I have my eyes open.. I can never watching reality go away.

so when ever I smoke I layback, close my eyes... and take off.

I dont know its strange with my eyes open its too intense but when I lay back and go inside its heaven.

strange indeed

 

I think a lot of it was the apprehension right when I took the hits.. yea it is very important to be completely relaxed and calmed down

 

Good advice. Thanks.

 

There realy was no reason to freak out about the police. You aren't doing a illegal substance, unless of course you live in one of those 3 states. Before every time i have a session, and i have them alone because i think i can handle it, I tell myself this is perfectly legal and i am not doing anything i am not supposed to be doing. Self assurance is in my opinion the #1 thing anyone experimenting with psychedelics should have.

 

yea.. its perfectly legal.. and I knew everything would be just fine.. I was acting purely on marijuana instinct.. know what I mean??

 

your mental state and surrounding deeply influences your trip.

 

I always have bad trips like that on salvia.
And it is illegal in my state.

 

that's not a trip just a bit of paranoia combined with loss of some motor functions

 

yea you got it, although if I had let the salvia affect me as opposed to trying to stay in control, it would have been much deeper and more intense

I can, and have, experienced a 3.5-4 level "trip" on 3 hits of plain leaf..

 

I had an experience a little like that. I was in my dorm room at night by myself. My room was on ground level. I sat indian style in the middle of the room with my back to the window and smoked a few bong rips, feeling slight effects. After a few minutes I got an intense paranoia feeling that someone was watching me through the window. I ended up with the idea that if I crawled super-slow, army style, and got underneath my bed the person would go away. About three minutes later, and half way to the bed, I realized, "what the fuck am I doing?!"

 

haha.. when I was in college, that shit happened all the time when I risked the smoke to get high in my dorm room.. if you open all windows all the way, close the blinds, stuff a tshirt in the door, and pull the battery out of the smoke detector, you can pull it off.. you gotta have some good "pot"-pourri though! haha.. takes me back

you can blow the smoke into your pillow and it will resonate and disappear before escaping (that's a good bit of info!)

 

haha.. I developed all kinds of little tips and tricks for dealing with smoke.. running a garden hose from inside the room through a cracked window is also a VERY good thing to do.. blow the smoke through the hose and it is no more! you should try that out (at NIGHT of course)

 

I used to have little tricks, too, but some peolple are incredibly sensitive to the smell of pot.

 

That was salvia I was smoking when that happened to me. But with pot, hello neighbors (little chapstick filter things) are the easiest and best way to hide the smell.

 

there are some great smell reducing products now adays... I use several at my house- I would highly recommend Fabreeze and Ozium.. both kill odors very well

 

Good to know.

I wasn't too swift with some of my solutions, admittedly.

One time my landlady caught me sitting in my closet with a trash bag that I was blowing the smoke into....
