Hi I'm new to the forum so hello all but enough with the pleasentries... So I bought an ounce of salvia leaves, and after smoking, making a quid and chewing it, and then chewing a quid and smoking it, etc, etc, I decided after a couple of days I may need something with a little more kick. I ordered a 10X and a 15X and so far my first real tirp was off of the 10X My friends and myself were sitting around my room and I smoked up about half a bowl in one hit, held it in for a couple of seconds and then released. After that everything started to fade away, all I could see were circles and rectangles for a little while, then I felt like I had just woken up from a surgery or osmething in the hospital and people were telling me I had just taken salvia and that's why I was freaking out, and then I came back to reality and my friends were actually the ones talking to me. They said my voice had changed and I sounded terrified through most of it. Couple of things I was wondering others could answer... 1. Has anyone ever experienced a melting away feeling like you just did not exist anymore? I felt that when I first went into the trip before I saw anything, very scary... 2. I could not remember that I took salvia as soon as I started seeing shapes, is this characteristic of every salvia experience or could it have just been this first time? 3. After I came down my buddies were telling me I was on salvia but it still did not register to me, almost anything they said seemed like it wasn't really getting through to my brain. Has anyone else had this problem where they could hear but not truly comprehend what a sitter was saying to them? I plan on trying to 15X pretty soon but I wanted to see what other peopels experiences had been like..so far they seem pretty grim
Quite Normal! You experience quite a loss of self. I think thats part of the dissociation of the drug. I usually find it hard to realize that i had been tripping immediately after coming back, and find it hard that the real reality is true. It'll twist you pretty good if you trip hard the first time. Take some time and try to remember every last bit of your trip. You may gain some insight from it and have less anxious feelings next time.
Thanks longshot, your advice was quite helpful. After thinking more intensely on my first experience, I remember feeling a sensation similar to being ripped out of existence, which would really explain my anziety lol. Either way, I tried the 10x again and I think that it may be a little bit too high potency for me so I ordered a 6x and I plan on trying that tonigh. Thanks again for the response.
the description of not realizing that you are tripping is really accurate. on my last voyage i blacked out for a moment, before finding myself on the other side of the room, wrestling with everything but nothing in particular. struggling to put the information into some kind of workable structure. intense! fun!
