Well, I was wondering a couple things. One is: The description says "This sacred plant is soon to become illegal. Have you tried it yet?" Is this for sure? Second is: I have seen millions of funny trips and quotes from saliva. But, has anyone had any really responsible, beautiful, psychedelic, shamanic, or meaningful experiences with it? Should i try it?
there have been movements in various parts of the country to make salvia illegal, and it has worked in some states. however it is still legal in plenty of places... the trend would suggest that it is likely to become illegal, but as of right now it's certainly not "definite". it depends where you live. this is the last i heard, unless something has come out recently i'm not aware of? and originally this plant was used in Mexico by shamans as a plant of divination... it was sacred and mystical long before kids on youtube were laughing at their friends who were "totally out of it". i'm not interested in smoking it (i have also heard somewhere that traditionally, it was considered disrespectful to smoke salvia leaves) but it's mainly because i'm not looking for an intensly dissociative trip for a few minutes... it just doesn't sound appealing. however, i am very interested in the oral use of salvia and have tried it once (not enough material, but there was potential) and i do plan on trying again in the future. what you want to believe about this plant is up to you, and how you want to take it is also up to you. if you're interested, definitely give it a try
Yeah, my second salvia trip really changed my concept of 'trip' and just how far consciousness can be pushed. Can't say I ever need to go there again, but it was beautiful and wholly worthwhile.
at first it seemed like randomness, but it kinda helped me with my problems and helped me realize stuff of a symbolic or metaphoric nature. first time you try it you usually get little to no effect except for a high. time tends to dramatically speed down, you may have the uncontrollable urge to laugh at nothing, coordination way off (i hit my head on a nail sticking out of a wall, ouch). second or third time you try it you can be totally caught off guard and have a full blown trip, unlike any other trip. the only negative aspect i find in most salvia trips is the confusion. it doesnt always happen, but after losing a complete grip on reality it can be a real mindfuck... id say the best level to try to find is a second or third level trip, where you are still in control, but colors and perception are way off. also at a low level it works great in inducing meditative trances. well hope my experience can help you
