I can't stop chickening out!!!!

As brief as possible:

Last May I had my first salvia ego trip... I tripped that I was part of an enormous broken cosmic typewriter that holds the universe together and it was my responsiblity to fix it. ANYWAY, i was extremely intrigued by the experience. When I came out I was so excited that it was all I could think about for a while. You know how it is.

Thing is, ever since then I have been wanting so badly to have another salvia experience, but i can only get as far as getting the bowl packed before I chicken out and can't do it. It's been a whole year now and I still haven't gotten up the courage to take it again. I don't know what the deal is. I don't know why I can't just JUMP IN.

I'm frustrated. I wish I could either forget about it and move on, or just go ahead and take the plunge. Unfortunately I can't do either. I wish I knew how some of you people can take Salvia on a regular basis. What do you do to prepare yourself for it? Is it still nerve-racking as all hell for you in those moments leading up to your smoking it? 'Cos it sure is for me.

Anyone else have this problem?

 

I'm in your boat, too.

I haven't done it in about a month. Keep meaning to, but always shy away when it comes down to it.

I want the escape, but I don't like the direction that Salvia takes my mind.

Yet I respect it, and would like to know it better to do it again...someday.

 

Ditto. I started doing it twice a week for awhile. Loved it. Then once a week, for awhile. Then once every two weeks. then once a month.

Freaky. Its self eliminating. As intense and interesting as it is...

The good news is that when you do go and do it again, youre like "that wasnt so bad...whats the problem? Weird.

 

if you smoke just a little and don't hold it in long enough to fall in completely, you might be more at ease jumping in. if i'm scared, that's what i do, and if i'm going to do it again that day, i try to do it all in one succession because when i can still feel it it's a much smoother transition...

 

yeah i know exactly what your talking about. I always feel very nervous before going into salvia. But if you really wanna do it again than stop being such a wuss and just do the action without thinking about it. I have had alot of experience with salvia, so when i do it i am alot more exited than i am scared. If i pack more than i have ever done at once, than i admit im fuckin scared, but thats why i hardly ever will do that.

The best tip is to use just a little and get used to the feeling again. Then youll remember that its not that bad and then do smore

 

take a small hit first, it will remind you of what salvia feels like, and if you want to return.

if you love your small hit you'll want to go big. What's more you'll probably have a great trip, because you will know (more or less) what to expect. If you are longing for the feeling of an intense salvia trip, and then you get that feeling you'll be very happy when you start feeling it and it will set you up for a good trip.

 

That's a good idea. Thanks.

 

just use plain leaf and ease into it.

 

i've never had a "great trip" . and i've done salvia quite a bit. hmmm

 

I always have a great trip

 

wouldn't i have to smoke a ton of plain leaf to even feel any effects at all? i have plenty of it that will never see use otherwise (two ounces), but i also have two grams each of both 5x and 10x. i'm just trying to be a little considerate of my lungs. i didn't quit smoking cigarettes a year and a half ago for nothing.
well actually i guess i did since i still smoke pot, like, i dunno... all day every day.

 

don't smoke plain leaves, make a quid.
