Do you enjoy salvia?

i lost my salvia in my move to california.

it makes me very sad. because i love it so much.

if i identify with a drug (you know, like those "which drug are you?" quizzes) it'd be salvia, it's *my* drug that i associate myself with... if that makes sense. i really miss it . she's my volatile and psychotic best friend who might just be a genius.

 

I liked it for the intense dreamlike experience. But didn't like it for the complete mental shift and loss of control. I'm afraid I will do something really dangerous like get in my car and try to drive somewhere. A sober sitter is mandatory IMO.

The few times I have done it, I sat all night afterward trying to figure out how my mind went into that abyss.

I wish it was milder and lasted longer but I'm sure glad for that level of mindshift, it doesn't last longer than it does.

It truly is like dreaming while awake.

 

I tried it twice in the last week, and both experiences were malevolent, paranoid trips. The second trip almost killed me, but that's the risk a misanthrope takes.
That said, I voted yes, simply because it got me out of the real world for a small amount of time.

 

Salvia's legal and readily available though so where's the problem in you acquiring it?

 

In low amounts, it reminds me of being very high. In high amounts, it's just odd -- not good, not bad, just different.

 

most people i know dont like it either...they get very uncomfortable, and the sweats like you wouldnt believe. but i voted yes i like it, cause i got a freind who gets his "chem" buddies to extract it themselves...i got my hands on this shit and it was fuckin amazing...best salvia i've ever had. if you want to hear about the expirence i had on it heres the link...

but anyway...hooooooooooooooooraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh for salvia eh?

 

na man
it just feels like my brain has been raped everytime i do it
very powerful, i think its definitely a herb for the great psychonauts and atm i think its being far too overused by people who dont really understand it, myself included
x x x

 

I bought some 20X to try it before it becomes illegal. I did to get F'd up and since I am older, have a professional job, I dont know anyone to get some good acid or shrooms from .

I had my GF hit it first. She sat quietly on the couch and I had no idea the other world she was transported to. When she came out of it enough to speak (10 minutes or so) she said that she "lost" her legs and immediately said she'd never do it again. I hit it next and could only hold down one very large hit (she did two) as I dont smoke anything, ever. It tasted like crap. As soon as I exhaled it hit me HARD. I was really curious to the effect and excited to experience a new high. My first impression was that my legs felt really heavy, like tree trunks and moving was very difficult. Vision and auditory sounds were HIGHLY distorted. Major tunnel vision. As I am trying to analyze it the body load just felt awful. I thought to myself "this is what it feels like to be poisoned". And that is what the body load felt like. Totally alien, very heavy, and unpleasant. It is difficult to remember everything that ran through my head, but I do remember thinking that this is what an onion must feel like living underground and sucking on dirt to grow. I didnt panic or anything and laughed for part of the time......but I wasnt a human during the experience. I was hoping for something like shrooms or acid that accentuate your humanity. This stuff depersonalized me to the point that I felt like a friggen onion, literally. Just wasnt my cup of tea.

I decided to hit it again about 2 months later as I had a lot of it left. Same thing. Unpleasant. Felt like poison in my body. I still have the rest of it but have never touched it again.

 

Salvia is the best. Just remember, dark room with eyes shut is best -- the trip is insane imo. Only one drawback is that it is very short lived when smoked, which I suppose depending on intensity might be a good thing.

Salvia is over-used to "get high" and should only be used by those who are serious and aren't out to get a cheap high. Because of its "publicity" it will be illegal in no time.

 

im not lovin the salvia.

i took a hit of 20x, and that was all she wrote.
i had no visuals the entire time. it was all just inner feelings, understanding, and realization.
I realized everything was fake, im not who I think I am, and this world is a lie. That we are actually in hell. It was pretty horrifying. Im glad i got the experience though, but i'll never touch it again. I can almost describe the experience as it was the most sober i've ever been in my life.

for those of you who have seen the move "The Truman Show", think that, but times a thousand.

 

aunestly its the only drug i flat out HATE , it rilly is just ... unpleasant, uncomfertable , and the smoke is discusting

 

I definitely don't enjoy Salvia. I do fear and respect it with every fiber of my being and it will forever remain one of the most intense experiences I have ever had, and for that I love it. Nothing in this life could have prepared me for that trip, just one hit of 25x blew doors off the hinges I didn't even know existed. I have never been the same since that day. It was extremely uncomfortable, unpleasant, and I will never EVER smoke it again (I may still try a sublingual or quid method one day if my courage returns) but I'm glad I went through with it and I don't have an ounce of regret. It was almost like a rite of passage, and to know that I have seen/felt/experienced things most others will never even dream of is a pretty cool thought.

 

If it wasnt so harsh Id love it.. Anything that actually smells like sage burning makes me sick..

 

I don't remember the smell... but I remember the taste as my senses began to return. I had no idea wtf that "sensation" in the front-bottom of my face was, as my vision was returning I was seeing snippets of incense smoke and I thought that's what I was tasting/feeling with my tongue... it was so nasty and disorienting I was trying to "get away" from my mouth... until I started coming back and realized it was just the after taste bleh

 

I've only tried it once and it didn't affect me at all (and I'm pretty lightweight). I'm not sure if it was an issue of potency, or not smoking high enough amounts. I wouldn't mind having another go at it someday.

 

Probably a combo of extract strength and smoking technique. You can't just spark it and puff on it like herb..

 

I don't enjoy it, but I'm glad I tried it.

 

Didn't really enjoy it much, but the appreciation and the after-glow was phenomenal.

I'd prefer DMT in every respect, but to each their own.

 

I have mixed feelings about Salvia. If I go from sober to a hit of Salvia I basically get mentally crushed. If smoked at the tail end of some other trip it's the best experience i've ever had.
