I had spent a typical Friday night with friends at a local club. Earlier in the evening, around 22.00hrs, I had drunk 500ml of regular beer and when I got to the club at about 23.30hrs I had a small Jim Beam (25ml), before dropping 125mg of MDMA crystal. For the remainder of the evening, I drank water, dropping a further 60mg of MDMA around 01.00hrs.
I returned home at around 03.00hrs and smoked two small cones of not particularly strong marijuana.
At 03.30hrs I smoked some 10X Salvia Divinorum.
I have smoked Salvia on several occasions over the past six or seven years and have always had striking experiences. I have also developed a huge respect for it and I decided the time was right to try it again as I had reached an impasse with my meditation and other spritual growth issues and, after having read a brief mention of Salvia with MDMA on this forum, considered this occasion to be a good opportunity to try it, because:
1) I was relaxed, physically and mentally yet still quite alert
2) The effect of the MDMA was at its optimum, neither rushing nor dropping off
3) The environment was comfortable and familiar
At this point I admit that I was alone and would not advise anyone to use psychedelics on their own - I excuse myself with my 35 years of experience but know that is no excuse. (Mr Responsible interlude!)
Finally, there was some music playing: a collection of 'gentle' funk sides at a reasonably low volume, not wanting to disturb my neighbours, adjacent and below (Mr Responsible's back again!).
I prepared a water-filled bong and filled a small mesh cone with 10x Salvia, lay on my side on the bed, lit the Salvia, inhaled the whole cone, put the bong down in a place where it couldn't be accidentally knocked over, lay back and exhaled.
The cold creep so typical of the onset of the Salvia experience was not as pronounced as usual and the usual 'pull' was a lot milder, which I would put down to the reduced anxiety brought about by the MDMA. I can remember feeling very happy about revisiting 'Salvialand'.
I was then conscious that I was an element of a large machine - yet at the same time I was able to see the part of the machine that I was - the colours were striking and slightly different from other Salvia experiences: where before the hues were predominantly in the green/blue range, although mixed with other colours from the spectrum, this time there were a significanly larger proportion of reds and, interestingly, creams - although, as ever, all colours were super-saturated giving the whole visual field the quality of a classic Warner Brothers cartoon - this being very apt due to the personalisation of inanimate objects, that is, me in the machine. However, there was a smoothness to the colouring compared to the usual 'sparkliness'.
I was by then a spoke in a huge wheel - conscious of my part within the structure - and then I began to experience something new to me in Salvialand - what was like a 'now' consciousness - an ability to be able to comprehend within the experience what was being 'shown' to me.
I cannot recall the end of that particular experience as the shock of that discovery overwhelmed me and lead to what I can only describe as an orgasmic experience of complete and utter bliss - ecstasy, if you will - in which state I re-emerged into 'normality', after which my memory of the other details within experience faded somewhat!
However, after a further 30 minutes, I refilled the cone and tried again.
This time, it was as though I was a wrapper of something and I learnt what it felt like to be unwrapped, a layer at a time, like an onion - layer after layer and, with each one, thinking that that would be the last and that 'I' would be revealed and that 'I' would then be free from the cycle I was enduring time after time after time (this rhythm maybe being instilled by the music - I do remember a remarkable previous Salvia experience which was definitely driven by the beat of the music then playing - at well over 120bpm it was somewhat scary).
Again, I was conscious of being within Salvialand and actually began to explore the giving of self, a technique in Buddhism, and began to understand that the experience was a further teaching in the truth that it is the accumulation of levels of ego which produce our experiences and that time is also an ego-driven construct - that the Truth is that all is one, now - that absolutely everything - me, you, this keyboard, that monitor, everything is an illusion - I will leave this subject here as it belongs in another place other than a trip report.
On each occasion, the trip lasted about ten minutes and on the second occasion I was very aware of the transition between Salvialand and 'normality', enjoying a huge thankfulness for what I had learnt there.
The effect of this experience has been profound and has helped me progress in avenues of my life which had been blocked for some time.
I am supremely aware that I do not abuse this combination for the pleasure and other benefits which it brought me on this occasion. I would urge others to heed my caution.
Please do not mess around with any psychedelics - they are wonderful things and, while can be simply enjoyed as an entertainment, are so much more valuable and should be respected as such.
Now - what shall we get up to this weekend? It's lovely to be 50.
