Ok guys, I've picked the strength of my Salvia (x15) and I'm all set up for Saturday... but first I'd like to know some things. 1. Can you control yourself so you don't do something like download a bunch of porn on your computer or drive and kill yourself? 2. What are the health risks if there are any? 3. Can you remember anything you did while it's in effect? 4. Should I have somebody with me to make sure I don't kill myself? Haha =] Thanks for your help guys =] Peace! and God Bless!
1. Not if you smoke enough . You wont be able to control yourself for the most part on a heavy salvia trip BUT you also wont be coherent enough to do something stupid like downloading porn. Have a sitter with you so they will make sure you stay sitting and laying down so you don't try to jump out a window or punch through your wall or something like that. 2. Smoking anything is harmful for your lungs. The lethal dose has not yet been established but it's assumed to be very high. Put it this way, people smoke 100x and do not overdose. You'll be fine with 15x. 3. In a heavy trip you may not remember anything of your life for a short period of time. You may feel as if you are another person or living another life. You will forget that you smoked salvia most of the time in stronger experiences. 4. YES, always have a sitter (a person who is sober and there to watch over you) *EDIT* I just realized that you are 13. I do not recommend trying salvia at such a young age and believe that no one over 16 or 17 would be able to handle such an experience.
Yeah man, you might think you're mature enough to handle something like that, but really, if you do it, you'll more likely than not have a really confusing experience and have no idea how to relate it to the rest of your life at all. It's not a fun drug, it's an educational thing.
The best thing to do is just get comfortable (lying down or in a comfortable chair) and just enjoy the ride. Your trip may last anywhere from a few seconds to fifteen minutes with risidual effects (general spacey-ness) lasting up to fourty-five minutes. Most people say that having a sitter to look after you is essential but I prefer to take my most intense trips alone as having a sitter can make me worry about what they're thinking and this really stops me getting in to my trip. To be honest I don't think you'll be mobile enough to jump out a window or anything, just make sure that there isn't anything you could knock over lying around. I just realised that you're only thirteen. I'm not going to tell you not to smoke salvia, but I will warn you that it's a very intense ride. Only do it if you're really sure you could handle it. Maybe read some experience reports on Erowid first? Click Here
It's also worth noting that salvia is, unfortunately, illegal in the state of Illinois. And I definitely agree with the other posters that as young as you are you should give serious consideration to this before you do it. The trip on salvia isn't long, and it's not really dangerous, but it is intense. After my first time, I was shaken up and weirded out for weeks, reconsidering reality and having anxiety attacks. It was a positive experience, but it is one that takes a lot to deal with. You have to be certain that you're ready for that kind of thing before you commit to it. If you do decide to do it, try to have someone who is older (at least 18 or 19) who has had experience with salvia there as a sitter.
