The following events take place in my car, parked a few blocks from home, about 1 year ago. Around 10:00 P.M. I park my car at a dead end in my neighborhood. I turned off the car but I left the music going, I thought it would add to the experience. I have 1 gram of salvia extract (40x) and a homemade 2 liter bong. I loaded up as much salvia extract as would fit in the bowl. I was very nervous, this was my first experience with psychedelic substances so I did not know what to expect. I spark my lighter and make a point to burn as much of the salvia as I could, which resulted in a very full bong, but in the process of filling it, I had sucked a sizeable amount of salvia smoke into my lungs without noticing. I exhaled and got ready to suck in my giant hit. I put the mouthpeice between my lips, and was about to inhale, when my passenger side door said "Hey bro let me hit that." I looked at my door disgustedly. "I dont have a lot of this stuff so I need to hit this or I wont even trip." was my response. Apparently this angered my lighter, who decided to join into the convo at this point: "If you aren't going to let him have a hit then I'm not lighting this bong anymore." said my lighter. (at this point in time I remember that I had no idea at all that I was tripping, everything seemed perfectly normal to me. I was actually stressing that I wouldnt trip and nothing would happen) So I decided I would let my door take the first hit. I held the bong over near the door for a few moments, but nothing happened. I then put the mouthpiece back between my lips and cleared the bong. All I remember from then on was everything had turned into super mario, and the music was playing. I was jumping up several platforms, and it felt like I was being physically pushed down into my seat. After a short time I came back to reality. I think my whole trip lasted less than a minute, but it was very intense. The thing about salvia was that I did not know or recognize that I was tripping, it all seemed perfectly normal to me. I was just thinking like "oh, I have to jump up to the next platform because I am mario, this makes sense." Once it was over I was just sitting in my seat completely freaked out. I ended up giving the other half of the gram to a guy at my work, I will never touch this stuff again. Well, these were my experiences with the salvia plant, I have no idea why this shit is legal, peace!
It's legal because the government has no bussness making it illegal, No drug should be illegal, it's a violation of freedom. Just wondering, why did you take the drug to begin with? Also did you do any research on it at all? J.C
I found out about the drug from erowid, and was very suprised to learn that it was unregulated after I had research its effects and read several user stories. I had never done any kind of psychedelic drug before, and I have always been a very rational, reality based individual. My way of thinking peaked my interest in psychedelic experimenting because the way the mind works on these substances is so much different than the way my mind normally calculates events. What I meant by "I have no idea why this shit is legal" is that I have a hard time imagining the board room where members sat down and said: "I smoked weed and it made me sleepy." "What thats horrible, ban it and make it highly illegal to sell, possess, and consume!" "I smoked salvia and grew 98 arms and tried to wage war on my neighbors cat." "Oh, yeah that kind of stuff happens all the time dont worry about it."
Lol, I can understand that, but no one has proven that Salvia is a harmful substance to be taking yet. It is pretty unresearched, but people are starting to turn on it and use persuasive words in news articles about it. The only problem I can see with it is that you loose motor skills which can lead to falling and things like that if you do not have a trip sitter. Many people have a strong first time experiences and are discouraged to repeatedly use Salvia, but some (like me), enjoy the deep insight into the mind it gives. Do you understand my views?
