just did it for the first time

So yesterday me and my friend smoked some Salvia in my room while my parents were at work. It was my first time and my friends "bejillionth" time. So i had a bit of trouble holding it in when i took massive rips off the bong we smoked it out of (It tastes really weird compared to weed). And then all at once i felt "S". Something was deffinently happening, but i couldn't really tell what it was. My friend told me i might be expirencing Salvia Gravity. After a couple more rips i got really really hot and had to turn the fan on myself. After i cooled down it was AWESOME. When it was happening i didn't really think it was awesome the whole time though... It was really overwhelming even though nothing overwhelming was happening. I remember thinking how sharp and weird the colors looked on my terrapin station poster. Then things started to calm down.

I will deffinently try it again

 

Cool, glad you had a good experience! =)

Have you read the Salvia Divinorum User's Guide yet?

Just in case.

 

haha, of course! i read it through twice before i tried Salvia. My friend who i smoked it with said that the first time is the worst because you dont know what to expect. The more you do it the better it is as a learning expirience.

what do you think about that?

I didn't really recall thinking about anything profound the time i did it, but i would really like to try it again and compare and contrast my expirences

I agree with your friend. My first time was definately the worst, even though it wasn't too powerful of an experience.

The best advice I can give you is, Salvia (as I'm sure you've noticed) is overwhelmingly powerful if you smoke enough of it at a time. The good part of that is, if you can learn to be comfortable in any kind of world, then it's a good learning experience. The bad part is, any roots that you have sticking into the real world will easily be ripped out, and if you aren't comfortable with that, it could freak you out and scare the daylights outta ya.

The trick is, relax and do as much as you can to mentally let go of the real world. Don't hold onto anything physically, and don't even worry about it; just let go entirely. =)

 

thank you!, i'll keep that in mind for next time. Do you think that doing salvia is alot different outside than inside? I've heard that silence is best for salvia trips, and also that sounds of nature are a good thing to listen too.

I don't think it's *too* much different.

If you are in a dark place with your eyes closed, your experience will seem a lot darker.

If you're outside or in a very well lit room, your experience will probably be a lot lighter, and possibly more colourful (I noticed my experiences outside were much more colourful). But, no matter where you are, it's still pretty random of an experience. =D

Just make sure you're not near a public place; go into the woods or something. Don't go ANYWHERE that is dangerous.

 

Not like this is sunday afternoon at the church, but I wouldn't advise making it a common thing- one of my friends smoked salvia everyday for only a week and by the end of the week he was in a bad place mentally. There isn't really much known about the side effects of this shit.. and I'm not one to normally say that, but I read a whole shitload of HPPD reports and one thing most of them had in common was that their symptoms started coming out after they started using salvia more frequently. Not after they had dosed out hundreds of times, and did whatever else. Also, this drug isn't really like other drugs, which is the opposite of a lot of the research chems that are closely related. (I figured someone would post a reply saying "well you don't know the side effects of research chems either) Like I said, the anecdotal evidence I've read as well as the fact that it is unlike other drugs kind of weirds me out and turns me off. It isn't fun in any way to me either, which also puts me off....

But hey, if it's your bag man, then it's your bag, have fun and be careful.

 

i wasn't aware of the HPPD indications.

but first time i tried salvia (3 years ago--did it twice the same night) i smoked extract and according to the user guide i reached a level 5 (out of 6) experience. it was an amazing dream-like trip with the most intensely "real" audio and visions i've ever heard or seen. honestly, it's just like dreaming... of course i've never done it and gone outside; i've only smoked it and closed my eyes while lying down on a bed.
