My humbling first experience.

This weekend was the first time I have used Salvia. I am a regular weed user and will socially experiment with whatever drug may be around at the time. While I have tried numerous different drugs, I never do anything but weed on a regular basis.



I admit that I first learned of Salvia from the recent news stories that are circulating. I have always wondered about the "legal" drugs, but never did much research as I figured that most was probably just hype by some people to make a quick dollar. The stories I read did make me curious, so I decided to go ahead and add another drug to the long list of ones that I have tried and bought some Purple Sticky Salvia (10X) form my local headshop.



I did some basic research, as I like to have some information about what I am doing before I do it. I came to this forum and some other websites to gather data to become better informed about what I was going to be subjecting my body and mind to. As most of you know, the range of experiences vary from little to nothing to full blown psychedelic trips. How would my experience be? Is this all just hype and tall tales? I was going to find out.



It was Saturday night and the time to experiment had finally come. Taking the advise of many on here, I had my wife be my "trip sitter", made sure I was in some comfortable clothing, felt relaxed and kept an open mind to whatever was about to come. I busted out my trusty bong and put about 2-3 pinches of Salvia in the bowl, I was ready to get started.



I took one huge hit, filled my lungs to capacity and put down the bong and held it in for about 20-30 seconds. At first I felt nothing, then seconds later it was starting to hit me, things were becoming distorted and colors were flowing off the walls, before I could even comment to my wife that this stuff was working I was somewhere else. I was surrounded by the colors and reality as I knew it was gone. I felt as if I was being sucked into a black hole or some type of distortion in the time-space continuum (I now understand why people have such a hard time explaining their trip.) I felt like I was being ripped apart or being erased, there wasn’t any pain associated with this, just intense fear and confusion. At that time, I didn't know reality, I didn't know I had just taken a hit of Salvia, or that I was in my living room with my wife only feet from me, it was just me and this other world, or I guess what some would call another dimension.



After what seemed to be only 30-60 seconds of pure terror, I came back to reality and saw my wife cleaning up a drink that I had spilled and found myself lying on the carpet. I got back up, sat down and slowly my memory and reality was fully coming back to me, I assured my wife that I was back and after about 2-3 minutes all effects had worn off. Although it only felt like 30-60 seconds to me, my wife told me I was out for about 6 1/2 minutes.



I learned that Salvia is no joke!!! I fully admit that I went into this with some skepticism and didn't give Lady S the respect she deserves. She quickly taught me a lesson I will never forget. It was truly a terrifying experience that still haunts me. I hope this haunting will not last for long, but as one of the scariest things I have ever experienced, I'm not sure.



Reading up on the intensity levels, I was definitely at a 5 and possibly close to a six.



I am still debating if I'm going to try Salvia again (obviously in a much smaller dose). While I would love to have a better experience with Salvia, I am afraid of going back to that place I was the first time, so I'm still undecided if I'll do it again.



To all those that are thinking about trying this for the first time, please note that Salvia is the real deal and should be treated with respect. Not only has this experience given me a respect for Salvia, it also is making me rethink my willingness to try any drug that happens to be around. I am going to be a more cautious user form here on out. This has definitely been a life changing experience.

 

This was me 3 months ago.

To put in a few words:

You had a breakthrough. Level 5. You remembered some of it. You WERE out six minutes and it seemed shorter. I too had almost the exact same expiereience as you. I did 20x, possibly a little less amount though and had a very equal expierience to yours.

I also felt the black hole separation of identity and thoughts.

Whats odd is black holes actually could supposedly take a human and rip it into matter so small that images, memory, expieriences, identity, and ones body are all separated and spread out over space. It's coo how salvia does that to you yet spits you out the other side re assembled with a new outlook.

You will probably do it again even though it scared you. I was scared and wanted to flush the rest. I didnt and got curious when alone one night and had some expieriences that have changed my life.

You can't be scared. Trust that Salvia will show you how alive the world really is.

I suggest you get a bit, get to know it more. It's something that you can have all to yourself and it's ok. lol

 

LOL hell yeah thats salvia for yah when i trip if elt almost the same way

 

That's the experience! I find it extremely strange that time and the universe leaves you. good luck if you decide to do the experience again!

 

Ha ha, I did my first saliva trip not too long ago - I can relate and would never underestimate her again.

While I'm still a little nervous from my first experience, I'm going to try Salvia again this weekend. I'm going to start off slow and work my way up. I can't let one bad experience ruin a chance at a really good one. It was my fault that I didn't respect Salvia and now that I have that respect, I think she will treat me much better.
