salvia do not dabble. terrifying experience. i was a letter on a green colored surface. i was next to "person who says pee - H" like the letter, H. somebody was saying the names of all the letters next to me, and they were getting up. but when they came to me, they skipped me. i felt as though i were damned to remain as a letter. after a short period of time, i could feel myself starting to "peel" that's when i said something to Jimmy and told him to grab my hand. that would assure me that I was in reality, and keep me there. Now that the trip is over, I still find myself fearing that in the middle of any sentence I may suddenly snap into another reality. The feeling is fleeing quickly, and I am confident that I AM in reality. Still, the thought of losing confidence is such a basic belief scares me, and I'm afraid that if I continue to use salvia in impoper environments, I am gambling with higher stakes than I care to.
....Use Salvia responsibly and avoid the environments that may cause a bad trip. Ive sometimes tripped bad and it was all due to setting.
Yeah man use salvia responsibly. But remember, its just a drug and it doesnt effect your life outside of it.
I rather enjoyed salvia during the day in a forest-like setting. I did it with two friends and it was very cool! Later when my one friend smoked some behind some school, he just grabbed onto my shirt and wouldn't let go! He said he "had to hold on or he would float endlessly into space if he let go of the star"! It is a very interesting spiriutal experience, bad trip or not. This could possibly tell you things about what you're feeling right now, or what you're thinking about. It's the only thing phycadelic that showes me visions from deep inside my mind. But, to each their own... Peace, Colin
I have yet to have a truly bad experience with Salvia. Though I've really only done it with my two best friends in extremely comfortable settings. I would recommend you give it a second chance though it isnt a trip for everybody. I hope to have a bad trip someday to gain some insight from it.
I had an epiphany today. I realized that my bad trip was actually a good thing. A friend of mine had a good trip, and I was a little jealous. I took the slang term for Salvia--Sally--too seriously. I thought that having a good trip was like having sex with Sally, and having a bad trip was getting rejected. But it's not like that. My bad trip was a very humbling experience. At this point in time, I have no right to call myself a psychonaut. Salvia also showed me something that I hadn't seriously considered before. I consider the search for knowledge for its own sake a noble endeavor. I consider the use of psychedelics a part of that search, for I think it is one of the best chances we have of understanding the phenomenon of consciousness. But Salvia showed me that I might not like what I find. Sometimes I think the world might be cooler if it had more mystery. Well, if I wanted a world with mystery, Salvia gave me what I wanted. I was transported to a vast space, with entities that I had never before encountered. I knew absolutely nothing about where I was, leaving every thing to be found out. And it was terrifying! Salvia was not mocking me, nor was it "rejecting" me. In a way, it gave me what I asked for. And it prepared me for the journey that lies ahead of me. The search for knowledge is one of the few principles keeping me from succumbing to nihilism. But, I might not like what I find, and I must be prepared for that. I am still hesitant to do Salvia again for a while, but I no longer harbor any resentment. My bad trip was an example of tough love.
I'm glad to hear that you found meaning in what was shown to you. Salvia isn't called a teacher for nothing. However some lessons are harder to learn than others, hardest of all is the lesson of respect for salvia. J.C
