i recently tried salvia for my first time and i just wanted to share my experience. A bunch of my friends threw down on a few grams of 40x purple sticky brand salvia. I had never smoked it before because i had heard some bad things but they offered me a try for free and i figured what the hell. they packed me an entire chillum to myself and told me i had to kill it in one hit and hold it in as long as possible. They gave me a jet lighter to use and i hit the whole bowl and just started holding it in. I dont remember ever exhaling because it kicked in real quick and real strong. all of a sudden i though i was somewhere else entirely, i was out side surronded by crazy hills all different colors being chased by wierd looking people with spears and shit. Eventually i saw a ladder up ahead leading up to a manhole cover in the sky and i climbed it. When i got to the top i opened the man hole cover and crawled through. At this point is when i returned to the room i was originally in. aparrently i had closed my eyes and slipped slowly out of the chair i had been sitting in down onto the floor and obviously all that other shit was in my head. Im not gonna lie i was freaking out a little bit, i had been warned that it would be intense but that it would go away, but at the time i was pretty sure i had fucked myself up for life, i seriously thought that once you were that fucked up you would never feel normal again so i made my way over to a couch and laid down and just started looking at the crazy patterns in the ceiling. Eventualy i realized it was getting gradualy less intense and i started to actually enjoy myself, it is quite a crazy feeling being on salvia, unlike any other drug ive ever done. When i finally came down all the way and felt normal again i just took an hour or so to think about everything, the entire experience from smoking it to coming down took about 30 minutes and it was nuts.
