Hello there everyone! I was just thinking about an interesting topic for debate: the possible side effects of Salvia Divinorum extract. I have read that there is 1 death blamed on it, however that person had a history of alcoholism and depression, and more importantly: did not die under the influence of Salvia Divinorum. I don't mean to disrespect him because he is dead, but I believe it's entirely his fault. I think that Salvia is like LSD in the way that it can make mental disorders either better or worse, which means people with things like depression should consider the risks before smoking. I also believe that it can possibly cause flashbacks when people are older, but I guess we'll just have to wait and find out, now won't we? I know there isn't any offical information on the side-effects, but what do you guys think on the subject?
I know a friend claimed he had a salvia flashback of sorts when he smoked pot. He had no experience with other psychedelics either. The only real notable side effect I have noticed is headaches sometimes a couple of days following use. I would say I am a moderate user, maybe 15 times in the past year and a half, and sporadically for the prior 3 years before. Short term memory may be impaired up through the following day. Side effects during use I've experienced or seen: sweating drooling Coordination loss incoherent speech uncontrollable laughter I'm intentionally leaving out psychological effects
Unlike the tryptamines I personally believe it promotes a depersonalization disorder more so than a schizophrenic or manic bi-polar. A feeling in daily life that you are out of your body, in tune with your soul not your physical self, and/or living life automated as if everything is playing out in front of you. I am diagnosed with this, Salvia probably served as only a catalyst but I'm not so sure that it is a very safe substance mentally anyyway. I've had much more extremely vivid/horrifying/bad trips on it than I have even on my extensive use of DMT.
i think it probally has to do with alot of the images and thoughts going throught your brain. im sure if your a happy go lucky nice persons you'll have a nice pleasnt trip. now if your a schitzo who pictures killing people im sure you'll have the opposite. i did experiance after using salvia that i did'nt entierly feel like myself. i had a sese almost of being alone but i just told my self this is reality and took a nap. when i woke up i felt fine.
iv had salvia fashback while on acid and after taking nos month after taking sum a few bong hit of x45. i like to think im a go lucky nice person but my trips was very unplesent allmost painfull, and it one of the only thing i dont relly wont to do again, but im glad i have tryed this crazy plant
