i have a gram of 20X. this is my first experience with anything stronger than weed/oxy. i want a very light experience, i don't want a full on trip. but not where i barely feel effects, i want to feel it, but... damn it i can't explain anything... how would i go about this? take like 1/2 hit? and for those in the stoner lounge who saw my last post, this is my last encounter with psychoactives for 6 months.
A light experience with Salvia really isn't that possible. If that is all you are looking for, buy the leaves and chew on them, heh. Salvia really isn't for someone who isn't experienced and ready to take it on, IMO.
I agree though, if you are going to do Salvia, do it full force. If you are scared to feel the full effects of it, you should wait, because it will scare the fuck out of you if you aren't ready.
IMO, you're 14, I would wait a bit... salvia was a scary experience for me at 25. Not every time granted but, 14 still has a way to go for mental maturity. But it sounds like you already bought it so you're gonna do it... just do 1 good hit and hold it deep, see how it affects you. You will either get knocked to the floor if you do it right, or a nice cloudy mental feeling that makes you kinda melt into your chair for a couple minutes if you do it wrong. Good luck and if anything happens, stop using it. Let us know how it goes the first time.
You bought it, so we both know you are going to try it. Otherwise, I would tell you to wait a few years. So, here's how you should try a light trip. You need to be in a very safe place - no sharp objects, and if possible, with a person you trust. It's best if the room has low lighting and there are no loud sounds. Get a water pipe (bong) and use a screen in the bowl to prevent loss of unburned Salvia. Place two very small pieces of the 20X leaf in the bowl. Use a torch type lighter (Salvia needs a hot flame to burn correctly) to light the hit. (Note: you may find pieces of leaf and small gummy pieces in your salvia. Don't load the gummy stuff unless you want to REALLY TRIP HARD) Now, hold the hit for about 20 seconds. After you exhale, wait for about 5 minutes to see how you feel. If you don't feel anything, take a second small hit, but if you feel "wierd," "hot," or things look different DON"T SMOKE ANYMORE. It is very important to remember that salvia has a "break-through" point. That is to say, if you smoke beyond a certain point, you will suddenly trip heavy duty. This point does not have any warning. You simply go from feeling a little wierd to FAAAAARRRRRR OOOUUUUUUUUTTTT MAAAAANNNNNNNN......... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW! Most likely, it would scare the shit out of you. Do not smoke more than the 2 very small hits. If you don't feel anything, it just means you can not take a light trip on salvia. Smoking more will send you into heavy trip land without any warning what-so-ever. I have seen people older than me (I'm in my mid 40s) take 1 BIG hit, and freak-out. We're talking about old hippies that have taken many a trip. After they came down (about 20 minutes later), it was the ol', "Shit man, I'm never doing that again! Wow, that stuff is legal? I'll stick to weed! Damn, that scared that hell out me!" Of course this was from smoking about a .2 gram hit of 40X Purple Sticky Salvia. They didn't believe my warning about the strength of salvia. Thought I was just feeding them a line of BS. After all, "it's legal, how strong could it be?"
I've heard that Salvia needs a flame hotter then a normal lighter can get, but I've also heard it works just fine with a normal lighter...can anyone confirm this?
def. not afraid. just... already a week into my break now anyways... so... i don't know what to do yet... i'm gonna sleep on it. my friend says i should just lace a bowl of weed with it. i'm thinking about turning my 'break' into a period of very light use...
what about the quid method? it lasts much longer but could i not achieve a more controlled experience with it? it's not that i am afraid of a full on mindfuck, and i definately want to experience it, just not right now, i'm waiting for a friend.
i did it... i took several hits... although i only remember two... first hit, held for 30 seconds. result, an extreme canabis like high, kind of unpleasant and disorienting. everything seemed out of place, i felt like i was falling farther and farther into the matress i was laying on. the wall seemed strange, can't put my finger on it. second it, held for 30 seconds. result, walls started to fall, all except the one on the other side of the room. the far wall was getting farther and farther away from me. it seemed like a mile away, and then BAM. it came back very fast and hit me unconcious. i was in a dream like state, in another dimension. it was incredible, it was mindblowing, earthshattering, and terrifying all at the same time. there were... walls everywhere, like... falling... and windows that kept appearing and heading around me, like i was flung through them... i woke up at the door of my room. and ran into the hallway. the wall was likea vortex, and the thermostat got eaten. i sat down and closed my eyes and saw the same effects of watching an illusion video on youtube... i stayed like this for awhile... once i felt better i got up and washed my face with ice cold water. and almost broke down crying, i don't remember why, i think i was just a little.... shocked... i really wanted to see my parents and hang out with them, with my dad, family moments ya know?... everythign seemed moving still, i was still feelign off... my sitter said after the second hit i took about 4 more... (small ones, obviously) but i don't remember at all... after that i sat down on a bed and played wii to get my mind off things.. i decided i didn't want to try salvia again, even though i definately think it was worth it... i really didn't want to do anything (drugs) any more... ever... and i felt like a huge dumbass... now i feel very precise and smart... after i got over my fear, i decided i still wanted to go to the beach this weekend, even though i wouldnt' see my mom until monday. (she's outa town) welll... this was a very good experience for me, it was unpleasant, but i wouldn't call it bad, the pros outweigh the cons. i learned a lot about myself, and psychadelics... EDIT: UPDATE 4 hours later. i'm kind of sore. i guess i was braceing up during the trip.
omfg. i just realized how badly that was written... haha... i think i still felt some when i wrote that... and when i said i didn't want to try salvia again, i meant in the immediate time frame... maybe in a few months, i will try it again.
i totally hear you, the last time I did salvia, the first thing I said upon coming back was "i'm never doing this drug again"
