Below is a link to my salvia trip vdo and a description of what happened. I want to know what you guys think about my trip. Did I do something wrong? Was it a bad trip? Something to do different next time? Thank you!

After taking the second hit, I relaxed my body on the couch. Then, it hit me and I was gone but I didn't even know it. Now the funny thing is I was being filmed and what I saw on the camera later is not actually what happened through this mind journey. On the camera, I seemed to be enjoying it. I laughed and laughed. In reality, I was observing an alternate reality. The trip actually reminds me of the movie "Inception" for some reason.

This is what happened during my trip. I felt like I just woke up into something. I realized that what I'm seeing in front of me is my living room. Ok, this is the living room. Then something is changing...oh the living room is changing but to what? Wait so is this a show set. You know like a talk show set? Yes it must be because they're changing the set right now to something else. What the? How come I'm back at the same scene set? Who's pulling a prank on me? Is this some kind of a joke?
Now I think these are the moments I laughed on camera because I thought it was a joke. But I honestly don't remember laughing at all. The set kept changing but back to the same set (which is back to my living room). It kept going on for so long. I turned around and look and I became extremely confused at the scene. I was trying to make sense out of it but I could not apprehend what was going on.

It became more and more confusing that I became scared. It was fun at first like this is weird and different, but I was scared it would never stop. The feeling of being stuck in somewhere that I cannot rationalize anything, where nothing makes sense scares the heck out of me. I felt trapped in that scene. This is how it's gonna be for me forever. This is it. It's an everchanging television talk show set that comes back to the same setting. At this moment, I cried for help. In fact, the very first time I said "Oppa stop it. Hurry up." And I stood up intending to run away from the scene, but fell back to the couch and started laughing. I don't remember any of this, but I think what happened was that after realizing what was going on, I wanted it to stop. I thought someone was pulling a prank on me. In fact, I thought my boyfriend was doing that to me so I wanted him to stop doing that.

I feel like I had a black out during the trip. I don't remember at all those things I did on camera. What went through my mind was something completely different. I think it's because the only thing I remember was the last 10 seconds of the trip. I started to become sober but still was scared I would go back to that again so I asked my boyfriend to get me out, to stop this. Although during the trip, he wasn't present though. I didn't know he was next to me the whole time. I felt like I was alone and has been alone like that for years. When I got in touch with reality during the trip, which usually lasts 1-2 seconds, I would see my boyfriend and ask for help, but I fell right back to the trip right away just like that. But when my mind felt conscious again, I told my boyfriend again to stop this and this went on many times during the trip.

Throughout the trip, some moments I lost my identity, I lost sense of time and I forgot that I have taken Salvia. But there were moments that I was able to gather my senses together and told myself this isn't real and I needed to get out asap. The whole trip seems to last about 2-3 mins but I felt like 7-8 hours have passed by or even days.

ps. "Oppa" means older brother in korean. That's how korean girls call their boyfriends.

Salvia's fucking weird. That trip seemed like a pretty normal reaction. As someone who thoroughly enjoys my psychedelics, I can safely say that I've never had a "good trip" on salvia. It's just intensity and confusion for me. It's interesting, though. In low or even moderate doses of LSD, you won't experience anything that intense.
 
wow! that was scary. damn damn. I didn't know the effects of salvia before going into it. I didn't do much research about it. I thought it's something similar to LSD
 
Salvia is very different from LSD.
In fact its the most strange feeling psychedelic ive ever tried.
From your video and your description you seem to be tripping pretty hard.

Like i said LSD is a completely different trip.
 
That is a great description of a salvia trip. I haven't done salvia in a long time. Aat the end of my using it I was using it a lot. I started to enjoy it with some "practice". The primary effects of being ejected into another world never changed though so there was always the chance of things going sideways.

Like Delsyd said, LSD is much different and can be way more mild.
 
LSD can be a beautiful experience....

Salvia will blow your world into a billion little pieces, and then some alice in wonderland kind of weirdness happens.... and then you come back.

Salvia will hurl you into the void....

I stepped into a camp fire bare foot while experiencing my death and judgment in talk show format....

It was kind of scary.... The trip itself wasn't traumatic, but more bad in that i wasn't "here" enough to understand that fire is dangerous or even apparent.

Also, i can say that salvia has analgesic qualities, or it might just work in a manner similar to dissociative drugs with pain. But i didn't feel pain from the burns for about 20 minutes after coming back. The burns weren't severe thanks to a friend who tackled me out of the fire.
 
if you need to ask if it was a bad trip, it most likely wasnt.

trust me, you will KNOW when you have had a bad trip.

you have the wrong attitude IMO.
its not about "doing it right or wrong".
there is no right or wrong way to venture into hyperspace..

this looks pretty accurate for a salvia trip. its just craziness. @atlantis, in the video description it says that was a 2nd story window lol

what did you see or read that made you think it was like lsd? pretty much EVERYONE says "OMG, too weird to describe and rather scary." if you can be specific as in a link to a report or whatever
 
Salvia trips are ruined when people who are around you try to talk to you or trying to get your attention. This is why most of the youtube videos are filled with retarded kids just laughing.

Really experiencing salvia requires having a quiet sitter who takes the bong from you after you take your hits, and leaves you the fuck alone. Well till you try to jump out of a window.
 
I always found sitting perfectly motionless and little or no external sound (except for perhaps VERY slow/laid back/quiet music) necessary for proper trance formation... as if it was some state of delicate balance or alignment easily disturbed/distracted/shattered by movement of the body or disturbance from outside of any kind.
 
yeah, that did not look pleasant. I would take less next time and experience the subthreshold effects- those are interesting, and often a learning experience.

It's interesting how Salvia has the "show" theme going... Talk shows... My trips get that feeling too. Arbitrary, showy, deliberate, phony...
 
maybe it just means salvia isnt for you. the only times ive smoked it have been great fun and nothing uncomfortable happened: the first time i cant remember except for that it was exceedingly fun and left me with a happy feeling, the second left me with the ability to cause waves to appear on the grass with my mind, and the third left me feeling like i was made of bubbles. just because you had a (debatably) negative trip on salvia doesnt mean you will feel the same on lsd, they are completely different drugs.
 
Salvia just shits on you and your sanity and drags you to whatever the hell exists outside of anything that even remotely resembles reality. In my case, it was the evil conveyor belt of doom made out of laughing human faces by Satan for my displeasure. It's the weirdest hallucinogen out there. Rest assured, an LSD trip won't be anything like that.
