So i have this friend who has done salvia for the first time in the past week and more after that. Now he's really fucking depressed because he states that he knows the meaning of life now, and life isn't worth living after you know that. So if you're like him, i just want to let you know that you're taking psychedelics and it's supposed to make you see and think unusual and/or spiritual things. And that if you're whole life is 'ruined' because of it, then you are a dumb ass. It's just a figment of your imagination and you need to get over it.
no he is just depressed I guess, because of the drug or not. Sometimes psychedelics can bring problems like this in some people, he isnt a dumbass. Supposed? It opens up a world that always will fit your mindset...its individual Takin them has helped me make contact with spirituality but also made me insane depressed and stuff at times...drugs
that was pretty ignorant. Phsychedlics do make you see things and realize things and yes they are just a result of the phsychadelic but....If they make you believe something and you believe it to be 100% true...then who are you to say its not? It does not matter if you claim it to be false and a result of the phsychedelic, what matters is that person is convinced it is true. Also phsyachdelics can help some people realize things they wouldn't be able too otherwise, this does not they are just making shit up...it just means they drug helped them delve into something they couldn't have otherwise. Maybe you should try salvia before you speak.
As earlysunsets would say, "and if you're 16, then you are a dumbass." Which is pretty applicable here.
adolescence is a period of drastic biochemical changes anyway. the last thing a moody/confused kid needs to do is take mind-altering substances.
The problem your friend is having is coping with reality. There's nothing wrong with teens smoking pot or other safe things. Teens are growing people, and they're becoming adults, so they need to experience adult things. Pot can make me depressed. If the things you think about while high are depressing, like the shape our world is in today, you might start feeling sad. I don't know the meaning of life, but your friend may be like me and see that this life is just temporary -- that's what pot made me see -- and that our real life may only begin after death, or that life is just a continuing circle in which we complete different life spans. That doesn't mean we should squander the time we have on earth, because I think we're here for a reason. I think we are spirits experiencing human life. I don't know all the answers, but smoking pot or doing salvia is not a bad thing because you may become depressed at times after using them. They are eye-openers, and our eyes have been closed for far too long. It's not the herbs fault that we see the truth, and it happens to be sobering.
he may THINK he knows the meaning of life but how is he so sure he interpreted it so correctly? I have heard of a similar instance like this where a kid killed himself after doing salvia. salvia is fuckin intense bro! its not a drug, its a DIFFERENT FUCKING DIMENSION. I did it and it was WACK. straight up. I did not see my body whatsoever. I felt as if I was clay+sand. I felt at the end that it was some kind of sick joke played on me. It did stay in my memory for weeks if not a month or two after because it was such an intense 5 minutes. Imagine having almost ur whole body on one side of a house, and a hand or arm on the other side, and being pulled UNDERNEATH an entire house. Not too pleasant lol. Also got stuck OVER a porch awning. and inside a chair. the whole process of going into the world and coming out is rediculously wierd. At first time seemed to speed up rediculously fast to the point where my friends voices were like sqeeks, then time stopped and skipped for what seemed like an eternity. coming back was wierd, I felt my body re-materialize from the feet up, with words on the left saying "WELCOME BACK", only the top part of my head didnt materialize correctly and I tripped out and tried to put the strings that were forming me back together, pulled it out of the ground and i fell into reality, my hands were still there as if i was pulling the string but it wasnt there anymore. to make matters worse, I lost my glasses in this so I came back very disoriented and I thought I was still in the salvia world and that my head didnt materialize right, and that I was physically fucked up permenently. I remember before coming back it was like me and my 2 roommates who were watching me had to be very still for me to re-materialize correctly and any false move would leave me physically scarred and not intact. VERY scary. from the trip sitters point of view, i sat staring after i took the hit of 20x, then fell over on the ground out of my chair, then I guess I fell over a bush to the right of me, was picking weeds and shit (the weeds had nothing to do with my trip), I guess I ran into a brick wall and our house. When I was materializing they said I laid down on the rocks and it looked like I was floating or something then I got up very quickly after that and came to. oh I also said "What the fuck?!" 7 times getting louder each time, I said this when I saw my 2 roommates but I saw parallel universe versions of EVERYTHING this tripped me out. I saw an almost infinite number of people in my trip, but most were people I knew, and all of them were slightly different, something was not right about them. In conclusion, I'm glad I was with my 2 most trusted friends I could have been with at the time, and I'm very glad I decided to do it in my backyard and not in public or something. My arm got pretty scratched up but other than that I was fine besides some body pain from running into shit/falling. Interestingly enough we found my glasses sitting perfectly on a weed. immediatly after I basically said fuck salvia and there was no way in HELL i'd ever do it again EVER. most bizarre, intense, disorienting experience of my life. not to mention the only drug i've done that made me go berserk. personally I saw no "meaning of life" on salvia. all i realized is that there are parrallel universes existing simultaneously with different outcomes in each, and that salvia is the most bizarre and frighteningly ironic drug there is. it tends to read your thoughts. must have been the high dosage, I didnt load the bowl my roommate did.
I'm 16 and I know I am an idiot! But I bet your friend just had some mental shit going on in his subconscious before he took salvia, and it came out after, weather it was the savlia or not... I don't think so.
What meaning? let him talk to me and tell me what it is, because from my salvia and mushroom experience, i am far beyond any meaning, or depressed or sad or happy or exited, of course i still experience these feeling, but they are irelivant to me now. tell your friend wether he kills him self or lives it though, life will still go in flow, so whats the point in killing yourself when your going to do it eventually, you may as well as enjoy your life trip. personally i like the life trip better than the salvia trip, its much more complexed.
