My first Salvia trip? It was a tusday night, I had the house to myself and a test I could (should?) have studied for, but that baggie of 20x was fixed in my mind. With the many trip reports I've read I just couldn't resist. For a while I've been hunting for a hallucinogen, but to my luck I began looking during an lsd drout and shrooms have managed to evade me. About 4 months of waiting coupled with the horrors of sobriety and boredom finally got me to my room fitting my bowl with the salvia. Since I had no sitter I setup a "safe zone" in a corner of the basement as well a safe spot for my pipe. I filled the bowl with about 1/10th of a gram, lit it and inhaled (yes, with the flame on constantly) until my lungs were near full. I swiftly put the pipe down worrying that the rush effect I have read so often about would make me do something stupid with the ashes. I held my breath for alittle over 24 seconds and waited. Five minutes past, I figured 'didn't put enough?' so I put about twice the amount and inhaled quickly. Another three minutes are spent sitting so I take the same amount as I just did in a final hope. About 20 seconds from the last one and I feel something is different in mind but nothing more for that that feeling for the next minute or so. Dissapointed I got back to studying. Right before opening my binder I get the idea that my pencil case was talking to me. I heard nothing and saw nothing move but I was left with the feeling that it was annoyed with me for some odd reason. I distanced myself from it then my binder gave me the feeling it had something to say to me. This kept happening with afew objects around me. It was very mild, I did not realise it was the salvia until I thought about it. Afterwards I did not feel the afterglow, admitedly if I'd had one it would have probably been overwhelemed by dissapointment. I did not get anything described on the 6 level chart other than maybe mild relaxation. I though maybe I had some bad stuff but when I offered my friend a toke afew days after he was curled on the floor cackling for about five minutes trying to speak but drowning in his laughter. He had take about the same I had on my first toke. Did I do something that could have ruined the effect or am I a salvia hardhead? Anyone else had a trip like this one? I've been so eager to trip on this and speaking to school supplies, as enlightening it be, leaves me with something to be desired. Any advice or info is welcome. Thanks
Oh man i just wrote a reply for you and then the connection dropped. (hope it doesn't double post now) Anyway... what i was trying to say is that my first time with salvia was pretty much like yours. But then again i didn't know that you have to hold the fire on it constantly... I am sure that when you try it again and again you will need smaller amounts of it to get you tripping. They say it's a reversed tolerance drug and it's true. So try again today and see what happens
Well I tried it again afew minutes before writting this; same amount but in two tokes back to back with even less effect than last time. I've read abit more about the reverse tolerance and I remember reading that waiting in between sessions is a must, so before giving up on it il wait a week and see if it helps. I smoked it the same way I did the first time, so if im doing something wrong please stop me before I waist anymore salvia!
Maybe you have to just relax a bit. When I use her, I try not to think of anything at all. So far I have had nothing but beautiful experiences with her. I've only used base, too. Kyle
I don't know man... 10x is all i need for a very intense trip... sure you inhale the smoke in fast with constant light on it? Maybe you should use a torch lighter if you haven't already. And yeah, you should relax... just free your mind from everything and chill out
Maybe the Salvia you have isn't all that great... just because someone says it's is a 10x , doesn't mean that it is....... maybe look for a standardized extract.... Have someone with a little more experience try out some of what you have left and see what they think....
Well the extract I got is standardized and from a reliable seller. Also as I said before I let one my friend have a toke and he was gone for about five minutes so even if its not stnd or 20x I should be getting something. He did it the way I did but I think the problem might be the speed I inhale it at like Ynef said. My friend took it with a thin filter so he took it in pretty quickly, but the rest of our gear was the same. Next time il trim abit off the filter and see how it goes. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Try it without the filter all together. I've found it works best for me from a glass bowl, but my friend used a bomber of a joint yesterday and got the giggles pretty good. First time using it, though. Kyle
Alright well my third try, w/o a filter and with same amount went like the others. Only this time I became abit sweaty and itchy for about five minutes and my throat became rasp from the ashes. By now I'm pretty sure I have this horrid gene and its immunity. I have about a half gram left now, I guess il just try and take it in bong hits as fast as I can until I can (or even do) actualy feel something psychoactive about it.
I did salvia quite a few times, and all I can say is that it will hit you when you least expect it. Sometimes you try to look too closely for very intense things, when the smaller things all around you are really beautiful. Basically sometimes nothing at all will happen, well.. most of the time. It's the reason salvia isn't illegal yet, not everyone can pick it up and just be blasted into outer space. My advice is to stick with it, use a bong if you want maximum effects ( I've never flipped on a pipe but others do ), and put some ambient music on. Also I've found that fear seems to help with the process for some reason... try some silent hill soundtrack right after a scary movie, have a sitter.
Wouldn't being scared lead to a bad trip though? Last thing I wan't is a bad trip on salvia, especialy considering I became certain my surroundings where all alive on my first trip...
Bad trips with salvia are good trips. Just keep a sitter with you. Oh, and don't sit in a small room, I get very paranoid in small areas when I smoke it.
