Get ready to experience what it feels like to be a wall. You can have the TV on, but you certainly wont understand it.

It might actually be a good idea to mix xanax with it, go for it.

I find the best trips on powerful substances like Salvia or K to have most value when i am really tired and very relaxed, like if i stay up all night and then dose around 4am when the world is silent.

I have never tried salvia but my understanding of the experience is that your surroundings, especially music and tv, won't be particularly relevant. The traditional method for salvia used by the natives was to chew the leaves. If you can stand the taste, putting a glob of the extract under your tongue for 20 minutes or so would give you a slower, gentler, and more predictable experience than smoking. For something as short in duration as salvia, taking a xanax might not be worth it. Just realize that it will dull the experience.

which is why your advice is terrible!
op - your surroundings are going to be very important....very...the sensory input you're recieving before you smoke will be churned up into a wierd buzzing darkness and given a narative.
So if you're listening to heavy music its going to dominate, distract or possibly just irritate you...something very gentle is best.
TV is a little mundane and ruins most drugs, salvia no exception
on a 5x extract don't expect anything too dramatic...i recomend a bong to make the most of it. As for using it under the tongue....i wouldnt recomend that to a 1st timer. In fact the idea of 30mins in salvia land is quite daunting to me

as for xanax...naah dont bother....the odd thing about salvia trips [ not that you're gunna get one with 5X ] is you tend to accept what is happening to you. The 'hardest' part, for me, is when you've just come out of the wierd dream state but havent fully come down. For example your room may look normal but it might still feel like a tube or a wheel or whatever....but this lasts a few seconds.
if you are sane enough to cope with a dose of unreality you should be fine 20mins after your trip.
.....writing this has made me realise its been too long since i had any :D

Personally I don't see the point of taking Xanax in this situation. If you don't want to ride an emotional roller coaster, don't smoke Salvia.

I'd also note that set and setting are important, as with most drugs.

 

[I<3Hallucinogens]

set and setting are a huge part of how the trip will go, but are almost irrelevent once you start tripping. the way i describe this to people is i grab a cardboard box, and close it and say, "this is the world you live in sober" next i will open the box and that is your world when smoking weed, maybe small doses of molly, next i flatten the box and that is shrooms, next i take the box from closed box-shape, to open flat then throw it off to the side... that is salvia. on 5x it probably wont do that but im rambling now. long story short set and setting are important but you will find something to do other then tv or music during your trip. my last one i was getting a light show and my entire trip was from the inside of my head searching my body and seeing all of my insides without even realizing i was getting a light show any more... very strong stuff

First of all, in my opinion, salvia isn't 'enjoyable' or 'fun'. Not at all. It's a spiritual tool. That said, there's nothing wrong taking a peek just because you're curious, the doorway is open to us all. Just don't except you're going to have a good time, instead think of it like doing some important duty, like applying for a job/school or tending a toddler. It can be very rewarding, but often the experience is going to be quite serious, alien and neutral in nature.

Quite a bit of people hate salvia for this reason. It can be a confusing experience and you need to be in the correct mindset to extract something useful out of it, I have to say again, it's not for fun, if you think so you're going to get disappointed. I would say don't bother with the xanax, the experience will be short but intense, especially with extract.

As for the experience itself, try to find a dark and quiet place where you won't be disturbed. I prefer to listen music in my bed with doors and eyes closed while I undertake this spiritual journey.

Once the salvia hits you the tv and radio will become quite irellevant UNLESS you have something quite intrusive sounding on in which case it could change your trip entirely. I would suggest doing it in silence or have something chilled on the radio/tv
