Is salvia something that can be used as a fun, recreational drug or is it more suited towards inner discovery and soul-earching? Thanks! The Mushroom Man
My first experience with Salvia was anything but recreational. The universe began to fold like an accordion. Fast. I didn't know I was high, so I thought that when it folded into nothing I'd be left behind, so I jumped through the center. Some time later (seconds? minutes?) I found myself lying on my back patio covered in sweat and my house started to fold like an accordion...so I jumped through the opening in our sliding glass door. I came to naked and covered in sweat. I didn't show it proper respect. I thought, "hey... this stuff is available everywhere...how gnarly can it be?" Since then Ive smoked it with the proper respect, and I cant see how it could be done recreationally unless you sprinkled just a little on your bowl. It's intense either way.
It kinda depends how it hits ya. Last time I did it I laughed uncontrollably and every inch of my body was tingling for like a half hour. It also depends what strength you get, how much you smoke etc. Definately better if you ease into it, it won't be as likely to freak you out lol
True. I packed a fatty of 40x and smoked that bowl in record time so I'd get "enough." I got way more than enough.
salvia is something you don't want to jump into thinking "it's legal, how bad can it be?" it is a bitch that can bite hard if you aren't careful
I smoke straight leaf several times a day for the 'boost' it gives me, unlike pot which makes me lazy and forgetful. I smoke the extract once every couple of days to mix up my head a little. My first thought is always, 'why did I do this again?', accompanied by a nervous feeling. Folding in???, for me my surroundings start 'folding out' like little places I didn't notice before appear and expand. I've never been introspective after smoking salvia, and on strong trips I start to sense 'nature spirits' or beings all around. Now most people take one hit and quit, calling it weird, but to me, yes, it is great fun and recreation.
So I gather that using extract is more likely to blow your mind into outer space than leaf? Thanks for all the info, I really appreciate it.
it can either be just trippy or can have some meaning to it. but i cant say its in any way been life-changing
I think it depends where you're at in your life and in your day. I've smoke salv by myself and it's been damn near religious, but when I smoke with my closest cuz it's like hillarious because when we're together it's a walking zoo lol. I've never had a bad trip on it, but when I'm hittin it I'm usually in a really positive state of mind, dunno if that matters
I've only done it three times. My first two experiences were intense, but inconclusive. My third was a full blown trip, and it was terrifying. After coming down, I lied on the ground and said, "I'm never doing this drug again." I've since changed my mind: I do plan on doing Salvia again. I'm just waiting for the right moment.
I think salvia can be used many ways, it all depends on the user and the circumstances. See my thread on "real divination with salvia divinorum". It can really be used for divination or for recreation, I think it's a gift from the gods.
