Sorry if this is a dumb question, but i keep hearing people talking about not to do salvia for the wrong reason, only for understanding. I wanna try it cause it sounds like fun, and i also wouldn't mind getting a little(or a lot) of understanding along the way. Just wondering if thats alright or not.
New experiences can be a lot of fun. I would call salvia interesting but my wife calls it fun, I guess it's just two different ways of describing it. Since you are asking the question you probably are in the right mindset for a learning experience. Don't let people put you off with horror stories, a lot depends upon your expectations. Go to it with an open mind and the curage to let go of the control over your mind, fighting it will often make it uncomfortable. You will certanly see the world in a different light afterwards.
your advisors can be confused too. personally, I would not advise use to people under 21 to try it unless they really were on a spiritual quest, and if they were on such a quest I would be extra careful that the results of the experience were not taken too seriously. it is not a "for fun type of thing" but it is fun. another contradiction. the experience can be fake revelatory, or deeply sympathetic; how is a person to know what to do. the visions can be cartoonish or horrific, and there is no shaping of that in advance wrt set and setting (except for channelling the entirety of one's life into a wholesome and accepting path) well basically remain calm, have a sitter, and don't take it too seriously, but you will probably think about it afterwards even if you were not thinking about it much before.
thanks, just didn't wanna go into it and be all messed up because i wasn't seriously enough or anything
To follow up, just don't go into the experience thinking "boy this is going to be fun, like weed or shrooms!" Because it's very different. It can be fun, if you understand how to enjoy it, but it's sort of an acquired taste, like brussel sprouts. =P
You are funny It's not for everyone, but you wont't know until you try. For me it took four experiences before I understood it. To begin with I was just confused.
Yea, a taste that you don't need to acquire. The experience is not fun, but it is probably worth trying once to see what it is like. It's just weird, and not really worth doing all the time.
"The experience is not fun, but it is probably worth trying once to see what it is like" Kinda like brussel sprouts(since we're on the subject)
i gotta slightly disagree with what your saying, you can go into it with any mindset/expectations you want, as long as you let go as its coming on. the first time i did it i had extremely high expectations from reading alot on here about other peoples experience and it just seemed like perfect for what i wanted. and i did it (despite my troubles with the hot smoke and my pussy lungs) it was exactly whatd id hoped for. if not more. the only limits to your expectations is know what the actual effects are, (no munchies and giddy high feeling or nething like that or anywhere relating to pot at all) but u can expect whatever you want and youll get the same effects. (in my opinion) lol, when my friends ask me what salvia was like im going to say.. "its kindof like brusslesprouts".. and then laugh to myself -jason
oh and i really want to give my props to Hikaru Zero .. you really know your stuff, and make very detailed, informative posts, keep up the good work.
