Sally - Ways to dull the ripping

[PandaGun]

I smoked an unknown quantity of 60x Salvia extract and of course had the most terrifying experience in my life. Running through 2d planes with sever anger and terror that this is what my new life is with no recollection of my 'past life' and what not... Anyway my question is, is there a way of dulling the physical feeling of every atom being ripped out of you for almost the whole trip? I understand that this feeling is a hallucination and there is nothing actually happening to your body, physically. But would anything be able to dull the feeling or remove it? It isn't a huge problem especially in retrospect however it would be nice!
Many thanks :D

I dont have much exp at all with salvia (only 1 mild 10x exp). but as far as I know, that is what salvia is all about. you either completely let go, or have a terrifying experience. or a mixture of the two haha

Maybe you should consider using lower doses or trying the sublingual ROA rather than smoking it? This produces a much much longer more drawn out relaxed experience, which most people find a lot more comfortable than smoking it. The trip won't be as intense, but you will have more time to learn from and integrate it

Personally for me salvia is very unnerving, I wouldnt personally say terrifying myself. I have found out a way that works for myself to make the salvia less threatening and a more peaceful experience. It doesn't take the ripping feeling go away, but it makes it a lot less uncomfortable, I find salvia is best used when already tripping. Maybe because if your already tripping your ego is pre-softened for salvia rather than going from having a complete ego to having it shattered. One of the most intese and beautiful experiences of my life was coming down from 22mg of 2ce, coming up on 4mg of 5-Meo-Mipt and taking a large hit of some 15x out of a pipe. I'd recommend trying it, but it's not for everybody. It makes it more intense, but I just find it a lot less uncomfortable or scary. I'd rather be tripping really hard and being comfortable than just tripping hard and being terrified

Hmmm sublingual dosing does sound like it has good potential, heck why not it's readily available but that does mean by no way will I take it for granted!
I wouldn't want a long duration of the same ripping feeling however but if you reckon it's more relaxed I would give it a go. Breaking through is amazing though!

Of course it won't be as intense, it should be a much more relaxed and easier going experience. Although it's a world apart, it's akin to comparing smoked and oral DMT, with smoked you get the intense short breakthrough, while with oral the trip is more like a standard but strong trip that lasts for several hours.

In traditional cultures the Salvia leaves are chewed over a period of time and this produces a light to medium trip that lasts quite a while. It sounds like it would be a very pleasant experience to me

Don't smoke so much salvia?

 

[pharmakos]

i haven't done it personally (salvia scares the bejeezus out of me), but i have friends that will only smoke salvia when they're on DXM

MDMA

The only time I've ever found salvia to be a pleasurable physical experience was amidst my first mdma experience. The warm body buzz of the mdma seemed to nullify the harsh and uncomfortable salvia feelings.

I can attest to this, though my experience is limited. DXM, and, presumably, other dissociatives have been reported to file down the teeth of the salvia monsters. They still bite, but it's more like they're gumming you. The whole electric burning ripping thing through the skin gets doused, and I think that's a big part of what makes the salvia experience so intimidating. I highly recommend that those already inclined to using both dissociatives and salvia use them together. I really need to try it again.

lol I always used to get jokes cracked at me when I would do salvia with some friends and be like 'MY SKIN IS BEING TORN FROM MY FACE?!?' however that was years ago

I have a suggestion. I have enjoyed the 'ffects from salvia but I have many times experienced the zipping, ripping, cutting, etc. sensations that turn off so many folks. After a few uses I learned a method that, for ME, really smoothes sally over. Try laying down in a quiet room BY YOURSELF! If you react to salvia in a way that requires a sitter, have them sit in an adjacent room so they are not a distraction.
Now, I think it's important to be comfortable going into the trip. For myself I lay down in a comfy pile of blankets.

MOST IMPORTANT PART! I believe that for salvia, the transition into the "state" is where discomfort sets in. This is where moving comes in. Hit your salvia, lay down and DON'T MOVE! Don't move your body at all, it will set off a sort of physical "echo" that will reverberate through your trip. Salvia should take you past physical sensation and if you are moving around, trying to comprehend your friends staring at you and giggling you will be sort of stuck halfway in the physical realm and VERY uncomfortable.

Quiet room. By yourself. DON'T MOVE after your hit except to exhale. Actually ENJOY a salvia trip! ;D

^this.

 

[RhythmSpring]

Do an extract that's not absurdly strong. 13x or lighter. And yeah, lie down and be still.
