First somewhat sucessful experience

So I recieved 10x non-standardized from IAmShaman and after not letting the Salvia do its thing yesterday, I decided that tonight I'd try to let the Salvia take me.

I set up a blanket in the closed garage to sit on (it wasn't too cold, maybe 55-60) and loaded up the bowl with the 10x extract. I'm expecting a medium, not hyperspace, experience based on what I experienced yesterday.

So I hold the flame over it and suck in one huge breath, and put the things down. As I sit on the blanket with my eyes open in the mostly dark garage, I stare directly at the shovel that was laying against the wall and it begins to repeat something, which was then pretty scary to me: "I'm closing the door if you don't go inside" really fast. I could just barely make it out. The glass door to the garage was closed and the TV was on low in the basement which I could see into and slightly hear the TV.

The shovel just kept repeating these words. I was getting worried, so I looked at the door and wondered in my mind if what the shovel said was true. Lo and behond, the door began to repeat these same words to me.

I began to worry a lot more now, because I could literally feel my time to get inside slipping away, and that after a few more seconds I would be stuck out here in this half insane state forever.

I close my eyes and tried to listen to the TV to get these things off my mind. The TV changed from having Inuyasha on to literally repeating what the door and the shovel were telling me. I told myself to clam down with my eyes still closed.

I looked back at the shovel, with the three of them still saying the same line to me. The shovel actually began to float off the wall, twords the door, as to block me from ever getting back inside. Having my face and the front of my legs and arms feeling like sandpaper, I knew it wouldn't be very fun, or wise, to move. So I close my eyes and their words began to fade, and after about another 2 minutes, they were gone completely and the feeling of sandpaper left me. I was free to go inside.

The whole things lasted about 10 minutes and weirdness lasted about another 30.

All I have to say is that this was a really weird experience. Probably the weirdest I've had to date. You actually forget that you smoked Salvia for a bit, because what's happening to you feels like it's your reality, and that was the scariest part.

I plan on repeating it tomorrow, this time with another bowl to load after I smoke the first, see if I can't get another breakthrough.

 

wow. thanks for sharing, man.

 

I attempted again last night with a much scarier experience which consisted of clear symptoms of an overdose.

I smoked 2 bowls of Hawaiian Leaf in the course of 15 minutes to prepare myself for the 10x (reverse tolerance so I wouldn't have to smoke 2 bowls of 10x and go insane, but I did anyway). I loaded a full bowl of 10x (huge mistake, I didn't consider the reverse tolerance) and lit up. Within 30 seconds the last thing I remembered was many voices rushing at me from all directions and then....blacked out.

I regained memory at a point where my friend was standing at the open door to the basement, picking up the Salvia and telling me to come inside (apparently I had been banging on the wall). Though his intentions were good, I was immediately pissed as hell that he was ruining the experience, and the first thing I tried was attacking him (everything, mental and physical, was making me very, very angry) but it was so hard to coordinate that I was unsuccessful. That tapered off in about 15 seconds and I found myself standing in the middle of the basement breathing heavily. he was under a blanket minding his business.

At the time, I thought I hallucinated the entire thing, but after checking the garage I realized it was real and proceeded to apologize to him. He was mad at me but I explained it was the drug that had control over my actions and that messing with someone in the midst of a Salvia trip is a dangerous idea.

All I can say is that I'm quite afraid of Salvia now. I may try again, but not for a few days and using half the dose of 10x I did last time. Scary.

 

Not an overdose. It's practically impossible to overdose on Salvinorin A (possible exception would be injecting a huge dose of pure Salvinorin A).

But yeah, sounds like you hit stage 6 and went a bit crazy...

Gotta be careful with Salvia. It's really damn potent stuff.

 

Yeah I had no idea 10x could send me over the edge so easily. I'm certain it had something to do with the 2 bowls I smoked prior though.

 

If you're going over that easily then you need to decrease your dosage by a huge step. Blacking out means you had too much - if you don't remember any of it at all I mean. Just experiment with very small doses of what you have, try small hits of the 6x, take a break, try a bit more the next night, etc. Impatience with salvia can hurt the experience, you have to play in her field. Have a sitter you really really like - or love would be even better. It's a comfort thing, if you don't trust the person you're with completely it can affect the trip. Just take your time with it, sounds like you have huge exploring potential.
