Ive dont it a couple of different times, I dont really like it. I just get the weirdest feeling... like an unbearable weight on my body. Its hard to explain, the other people I did it with say they know what Im talking about.
Not very many people I know who've tried it enjoyed their trip, and all were thankful that it was short lived. I didn't find it particularly enlightening an experience, and probably will never do it again. Woooooooh, everything in my consciousness is fragmented, didn't already know that...
stupid kids abusing salvia. you don't even know how powerful and helpful this ally is. its just another legal high in the headshop to most fucking stoners and teenagers. like pearls before swine...
ive tried 50x yesterday, blew my mind! ive only done 15x and 20x before, and it was like a year ago. and i stopped doin salvia after i did a lot of 20x and had a crazy trip, and when i did the 50x, that same trip continued...
Just so you know Im not calling salvia shit, I was just using shit as like a "stuff" I suppose. The first time I did salvia was the only time it was okay for me, I did it with my brother and we were staring at each other and our faces were changing, it was the weirdest thing ever...
lol. Wierd is definately the best way to sum it up. My advice is not to give up on it yet, realise that if you are not of the right mindset, it may simply be too unsettling and strange. Try preparing the nicest environment you can, and possibly sitting and meditating with it prior to smoking. Use a bong if possible, and take large hoots, holding it for as long as possible.
I want to preface my post with a disclaimer saying that I have very limited experience with Salvia; I've only done it once. However, I think you might consider redefining your expectations of what you'll get out of the experience. I hear that a lot of people had a very uncomfortable feeling the first time they smoked it, even seasoned LSD/shroom users. However, I made sure to kick, get myself completely chill, and let whatever happen, happen. Without knowing what to expect, I didn't have the urge to try to steer my experience in a certain direction, and I wasn't terrified or even frustrated that it turned out in a way I wasn't expecting. And I know what you mean by a weight on your body. I recommend a comfy couch and I was also listening to The Flaming Lips, which helps me to simmer down nicely.
36fuckin5, you're language always carries a certain subtlety which remains unmatched by any psychiatric professional i've ever encountered
