When I first wanted to get Salvia, it was because I was looking for cheap and legal hallucinogens. I ordered a "Starter-kit" off the internet. It came with an ounce of leaves, 1 gram of 5X, and 1 gram of 10X. The first time I smoked it, I was just trying to trip. I smoked 5 bowls of leaves with about 1/10 gram of 10X mixed in. I had a few visuals, but for the most part, it was pretty boring. At first I thought that I hadn't smoked enough so I tried to smoke more, but the best effect that it gave me was seeing a man wearing a blue workshirt and jeans that was crucified over the highway (my sister drove), but it was more of a scary, paranoid trip then I usually get from other hallucinogens. I did some research on it, and I found a link to http://www.sagewisdom.org/usersguide.html, from this I discovered that Salvia was used in Shamanic ritual. I am a Wiccan that has studied Shamanism for almost 5 years (and I have read several of the Carlos Castaneda books dealing with Psychotrophic plants). I viewed it as a method for enhancing my spiritual view of the world and tried it again. I smoked the same amount under the same circumstances, but this time I had an amazing trip that surprisingly lasted for almost an hour (despite the fact that the results generally last for only 15 minutes). I was wanting to know if this was just a coincidence or if anyone else has ever had the same thing happen to them. ~Joe
Also, I'm looking to find an at-Home extraction process. If anyone can provide any links, it would be very much appreciated. ~Joe
when doing any kind of drug your mind set is extremely important.. salvia can be fun but it is like acid, which is a very internal type of drug, but it also depends on you because everyone trips differently.. have fun and be safe
mind set is all there really is. your recent mental contents, and whatever the paved surfaces have been paved with. what ever has been compressed and integrated into your mind has the potential to emerge, to surface by association. superstition is nothing. the motive element is association. that is how we collect information. it is how we store it and how we remember it. association by simmilarity, and association by sequence (really that is also simillarity betewen sequential frames of experience) when you have a psychedellic effect the time element changes dramatically enabling association to run more intensely without temporal limitations. things that arise resonate longer overlap and create new and strange experiences.
