Okay, I've been looking into this Salvia once I found out it was legal, and even more so since states decided to ban it.. To me, it sounds totally sketch tho... Do you have control while on it? Like could I just chew some leaves in my room and be fine? I'm chill with drugs, but this looks like something else...
It is, you are going to go somneplace else within a few seconds, and you will stay in that world for 5-10 min, and then you will come back to this one. For example last time I did it I saw a huge group of eleves and they were speaking in this language I could not understand, but I knew it was about me. I was in a forest and they just kept talking and talking, trying to tell me something, then I was back on the couch again It is not like LSD or mushrooms where you can keep control and somewhat understand where you are. If you take it, make sure you are someplace safe. And approach it with respect, many people report seeing a female deity on it, and think she is the deity of saliva. I have not personally though. She has no time for shenanigans, the energy of salvia is a little more harsh and direct then other drugs in my experience. It is a tool of shamans, not necessarily a plant for everyone. It's like a harsher colder version of DMT. I would take some cid or shrooms, or DMT anyday over Salvia.
I value Salvia Divinorum immensely, unfocusedanakin summed it up pretty well though there is little to no recreational potential with Salvia and it doesn't have the surface therapeutic effects like some of the other psychedelics mentioned. Salvia extracts create by far the biggest discrepancy between threshold activity and the common dose among psychedelics. The hallucinogenic molecule Salvinorin A is active in the ~300 microgram range and many smoke about 30-50 milligrams of enhanced potency extracts 10x, 20x, 40x, and higher. I wouldn't say it's 'sketch' though if you approach it with caution and respect, definitely should have a sitter and have your immeadiate surroundings clear. Sitters sometimes have to be a bit more proactive with Salvia as there is a tendency for people to want to get up and try and walk around without being aware of it.
guerilla called it out... I bought 20x and no joke I would rip my four footer one time and just completely lose control of reality...you cant really use it for recreational purposes like he said because its too strong and short.. i for example tried to sit there and listen to the doors ...relaxing...sure enough I was on my feet walking around.
you are dead on the mark in thinking salvia is 'something else' Salvinorin A (the active constituent) is the most potent naturally occurring psychedelic known to mankind. do your research. also as GB says have a tripsitter, most importantly one whom you trust. remember it requires that you give yourself over, do not fight, let go and relax, enjoy the ride or suffer the consequences, as i have done before.
