Getting Ready for My First Trip!

I'm planning on using Salvia very soon. I'm doing it for the right reasons, I've never used recreational drugs (not even weed) so I'm obviously not taking it for cheap trills or a party high. I'm taking it in hopes of having an out of body experience, in order to see something higher and more complex than life is now. I can't wait to try it I'm really trying to prepare myself for it! I'm planning on using it at the beach at night with a sitter listening to my favorite song. I'm afraid that the darkness and the sound of the waves will frighten me instead of relax me once I'm in the control of Salvia. Should I try it elsewhere?

 

As long as you're not freaking out as you're entering the trip, you'll probably be fine. If you take enough, you'll not just reach a more complex life, you'll travel to a different reality all together. It's not what you'll expect. But you may like it.

 

What extract are you using? 5x 10x 20x ect, Truly you'll never be fully ready unless you have tried it before. Just remeber to go with her, don't fight her cause she will fight back and win every time.

 

Well at first I was thinking of 5x but now I'm kind of thinking of the 20x what do you think?

 

i would say try the 5x first. the 20x is a very intense experience, and it really wouldn't hurt to get acquainted with it first. regardless of experience reports and what you've heard about the experience, it will most likely surprise you A LOT. starting slow and moving up, you get to FEEL salvia space before actually being there. and don't let 5x fool you, i've had a very unexpected stronger trip off one big bong rip of 5x. it is an amazing experience though and since you seem like you're going into it with clearer, more serious intent, you should be fine. enjoy salvia space

 

Blue I think it is interesting that you have never experimented with any psychoactive substances or even smoked weed before and you choose Salvia as your first psychedelic experience. I dont want to discourage you from trying it because it is without question a worthwhile experience but you should be aware that Salvia is very intense and comes on full force, very suddenly and unexpectedly. You will definitely be surprised as cechmangoal stated above. The beach is a nice location as long as thats where you feel comfortable and you have a sitter. It is wise to not try for the out of body experience your first time but rather smoke the less potent extracts at a lower dosage to acquaint yourself with how the plant will effect you. It effects everyone differently. When you are ready for the out of body trip I will give you this advice...
Purchase the strongest extract you can find (20 to 40X will work fine), load up a fat bong (as much as you can fit in a regular sized bowl, no one hitters), Use a torch lighter (not a standard flame cigarette lighter) and take as many full bong hits as you can in the shortest amount of time possible. At least 2 or 3 hits in one minute holding each hit in for 10 to 15 seconds. Its possible, do not pause. It will only take a couple of minutes and you may not be able to finish the entire bowl. Have a trusted sitter beside you and kiss reality good-bye.
See you on the other side

 

don't buy the less potent extract..
just get the strongest one.. some people recommend starting off slow, but i dunno, i'd personally say jump right in, and just prepare to see shit you can't even imagine in your regular consciousness.

 

The only reason I dont agree with you Helixxx about jumping right in, is because we are talking about Salvia. With most other hallucinogens the effects come on gradually giving you time to process what is happening. If you jump right into a full blown Salvia trip for the first time you will not be prepared for the intensity of its effects. You will be blasted all at once into another dimension completely unknown to you and this could result in panic and fear which would most likely lead to a very unpleasant experience. A bad Salvia trip can be devastating.

 

Get a scale that is accurate up to 0.1g personally i use one that is 0.01, this way you know how much you used each time. If you have the money get one tht is 0.01g if not just pour out .1g then cut that up in 1/2 or 1/4 ect. I'd say get 20x or better. cause you'll need to smoke less, and as you arn't a smoker it will be hard to hit hard for you most likely. other reason is alot of people can't get into the salvia universe on 5x easaly.

A tip on how fast it hits, once you fill the smoke fill your lugs your already tipping. There isn't any wait. plactic bong/water pipe is the way to go, NOT GLASS. if you do use glass have a sitter next to you ready to grab it once you are "gone".

 

Oh and this is a "safe" substance so don't worry nothing can go wrong. Unless you fall down.

Just remeber it's all in your head.

 

Thanks! I guess I will decide the strenght once I'm at the store. I know that you can't prepare for a salvia trip much. I'm sure as soon as you fill your lungs with it you forgot that you did! I really hope I have a good experience with it. If I don't I might stay away from salvia for a couple of weeks but I'm sure i'll give it another try. Or at least that's what I think right now before ever using it.

 

well i've never tried any other drugs even though i've been in company with people for many years that smoke hash/grass and take other things but those haven't had a pull on me... until Salvia..

I too have the same interests as yourself, i've had an OBE before and have successfully induced lucid dreams and self-hypnosis and i love my dreams so salvia for me sounded very promising.

I was apprehensive initially (5x extract, 0.3g) but i prepared myself well, and wanted the visions etc and told myself that whatever happens, however realistic or scary it wont last long and that'll i'll be fine. I loved it, first thing i said when the trip started happening was "this is exactly how i knew it would be" .. even though it probably wasn't but it was what i was looking for.

i would say go with 5x at first then work your way up, you then need less dosage and the effects are different. 5x has a more initial physical pull i think and 35x (which i buy now) seems to last longer, as well as the after effects lasting longer and even somewhat more controllable as to what you want to achieve from it.

I have gone into it asking my self a question and gained a lot back from it, not so much a blatant answer but the "oracle" sort of thing where it shows you what you need to see to get there yourself.

Hope it works out good for you and if you take it not underestimating the power of it and take it in a familiar peaceful environment i believe you'll be fine and will get what you're looking for.. although the first few may be very 'crazy' until you get to grips with it.

 

i agree with you that it is very intense and the effects come on fast.. yes, it can be overwhelming for someone who isn't really ready to be taken away from reality and isn't prepared to see some crazy shit..
there is the low dose, but the effects are totally different compared to a higher dose.. a low dose gives you that weird feeling in the body, probably a lot of laughing, you'll say weird shit, and maybe see patterns and stuff.. but you most likely still know where you are and stuff..
even someone who has experienced a smaller dose could still not be ready for the intensity of a large dose.. a large dose, you get totally ripped out of reality, you don't know where you came from, who you are sometimes.. it's all mental. it's crazy, i don't think the lower doses can do the same kind of thing.. this is just from personal experience though, maybe other people have accomplished more on a smaller dose than myself, but i mean if you're gonna purchase the extract, why waste money, just get the strongest one and make the most out of it ya know?

lower doses are for shits and giggles i find. if you really wanna experience something, pack that bowl as much as you can and get ready to see a new world man.
