Salvia(5x extract)-Smoked
There were five of us all together. We had driven down to a friends beach-house for the sole purpose of doing acid. We pulled in the driveway at about 10:15pm, opened the boot and dropped acid immediately.
After loading our gear into the house we settled down and talked about how we were feeling. My state of mind wasn’t any different than usual, it was just the humdrum ordinary state of mind I use to navigate everyday life.
T+30mins
I have definitely started to feel the acid. Stuff just feels weird. I have slight body tingles and slight-indefinable-image distortion, that is, nothing really looks weird, it just feels weird to look at things.
T+1hr
We are all tripping by now. We have just finished the dinner we prepared for ourselves(delicious) and all of us are getting quite energetic. We decide to head down to the beach for a walk.
At the beach...
Definitely tripping now. The small waves on the surface of the water look like they are coming towards us, kind of like a rock face that curves down to our feet(sorry, hard to explain). We run along the beach in almost total darkness...fun freaky shit.
T+1.30hr
We are back at the house and all tripping nicely by now. We have put some dope tunes(ABBA while tripping is awesome.) on the stereo and are spasmodically dancing around like fools. The body load has become quite obvious and we are all sweating a lot. A friend suggest smoking some Salvia, I tell him ‘maybe later’.
Let me now go into a little history with me and Salvia. I’ve used in about four times(five, including this trip). Each time it hasn’t done very much for me. Sometimes it feels as if I’m about to trip really hard off it and then...nothing. My friends have all totally fucked out on Salvia, visiting other worlds, changing reality, intense paranoia ect...but I have never got that much from it.
T+2.00hr
We are at the beach again now. One of my friends has just smoked a cone of 5x out of a small pipe. He recreated the noise of water going down the drain perfectly(squelqhchgchch), and then laughed a bit. He then yelled at the rain and said we should go inside, apparently the rain kept reminding him of the Salvia skin prickles and it felt horrible.
I decide to make an attempt on Salvia again, I figure if it doesn’t do anything while I’m on acid than I won’t bother trying it again. My friend accidentally packs a huge cone(it was dark) and I take the first drag.
Friend-Is it doing anything?
Me(with a lung full of smoke)-shakes head...pauses...exhales...takes another drag from the pipe...fucks out.
In retrospect I better try and make an attempt on explaining what I felt for those few seconds before I ran off. I had the horrible skin prickles associated with salvia as well as the sensation that the world has become 2-Dimensional. I still can't remember what terrified me enough to make me want to run into a bush, but I figure it was just the 'fight or flight' response manifesting itself with flight. There is really nothing psychedelic about what I felt, just more of a psychotic episode feeling. Meh.
The next thing I can remember thinking was about the candle. You see we had brought a candle down to the beach to provide light. In my truly fucked up brain I figure that if I put out the candle we will return to the house where everything will be fine again. I reach out and knock over the candle, much to my horror it stays alight. With renewed determination I cup my hand over the candle and extinguish the flame. At this point in time a friend in the circle flicks on a lighter, in my drug-induced state I lunge forward and grab the lighter while it’s still in his hands, forcing the flame out. I them jump up and sprint off in the direction of the house.
I am still totally out of it when I run directly into a bush, it’s only about 20 meters from where we were sitting and I turn to face my friends. I can’t remember exactly what I said, but I yelled that we had to go back to the house. I turned and marched up the hill towards the house.
Friend(the one who had just smoked Salvia as well)-Where are we going?
Me-[Yelling]Cancle fucked out so we’re going back to the house, alright?
Friend-Oh.
I am still very wrecked as it has only been about 20 seconds since I smoked Salvia. As I’m walking up the hill I don’t really remember what just happened. It feels like it happened in a dream and not reality. I turn and ask my friends...
Me-Did I just go mental and yell at you guys.
Friends-Yes.
Me-I see.
We are almost at the house by now. I notice the horribly prickly skin sensation you get from Salvia hasn’t stopped. Then I realise it’s the rain. The rain is that horrible, ice-cold prickly rain, the type that hurts when in hits your skin.
Me-The rain feels so bad.
Friend(the same one who had just smoked Salvia)-Why do you think I wanted to get out of the rain...now you know.
T(salvia)+ 5mins
We get back to the house where I swallow two Mersyndols hoping they will put me straight to sleep. I am still terrified and I just want to pass out.
I stay scared for about half an hour, curled up on the couch. The Salvia wares off in an hour and I feel normal again. We talk some shit for the rest of the trip and make it to bed at 6:00am. By the end of the night we were laughing about my Salvia experience.
This trip wasn’t very profound. I don’t feel I have taken away anything very valuable from it. The only reason I’m posting it is because of the lack of Salvia + Acid combo trip reports I’ve seen.
What I said above isn't exactly accurate. I do actually feel that however fucked up I got it was worthwhile. I learnt that no matter how far my mind gets twisted out of shape it will always find it's way back home. I haven't smoked Salvia since the experience, not because of fear, but the right opportunity hasn't arisen.
So remember kids...
Don’t smoke salvia in the rain!

hello, i was one of cancles friends that was tripping that night. very interesting night.
was interesting that what happened to cancle was a turning point in the trip for everyone. for the 2 or 3 hours before cancle did the salvia, we were all having a silly and fun 'candy' trip togther. running round like idiots looking at stuff dancing to lots of different music. even abba. i recommend giving abba a spin while your tripping. yes really.
then tom went a little mental. the thing i noticed about his and other peoples bad salvia experience's, they people seem to become very ego-centric. as all that really matters is the trippers thoughts and wants. and that people often feel like there are things they HAVE to do when they freak out on salvia. one of these that we've seen happen often is a tendency to just run for it. with no warning. get up and run away.
cancle had a few things he had to do.
1. extinguish the flame
2. get to the house/get out of rain
3. put on a certain cd. cant remember which one
4. lie down and pass out.
anything that got in his way was bad bad news.
after this with 5 people tripping hard, things for us all went a little mental. it was like for about an hour or so none of us could really connect. we all had different ideas of how to fix the sitation and we obviously all conflicted. at one point we were all arguing, i then noticed were were all pretty much talking about different things.
fortuanately things cooled down. we even got a visit from a big kangaroo. a real one. i wont go into my theory and animals and people tripping. =)
the next turning point was smoking weed. thats when i REALLY TRIPPED. it involved the beatles and the most intense visuals of my life. for about two hours. things were changing colors, morphing completely into new objects. not just wierd iffy acid visuals. i completely saw this stuff and it blew my mind. in a good way. it was really amazing. i felt like i was beginning to 'understand' acid, corny i know.
the one thing i learned that night is that i have a whole lot more to learn about acid.

Heh-heh....that's funny that your trip involved the Beatles. I had an Acid trip once in college, and part of the night I laid on a friends couch, listening to The White Album staring at a poster of The Beatles. In my trip I came to the realization the the Beatles were actually extra-terrestrials sent to the Earth to enlighten us!
In other words: the acid was damn good!
