I am an experienced user of a variety of substances (inlcluding daily cannabis and alcohol, with high-dose binging somewhat frequently). I've used LSD, mushrooms, and MDMA a couple dozen times each, all with good experiences.
This report is about Salvia, somewhat of a retrospective.
I'm 27 now, and I first used Salvia back when I was in college, around the age of 18. I honestly can't remember the first time I used it, but I used to order a variety of "legal" highs and would often get salvia along with it or as a gift from the vendor. The salvia was predominantly in a 5x form. Most of my use occurred in the 2001-2002 year, but its weird effects eventually frightened me away.
The effects always progressed in this way: chills/rush feeling, gravity alteration, and intoxication (i would feel pulled in a specific direction), closed eye visuals, visions, and amnesia at higher doses. The visions were always strange and confusing. Often I would be disoriented and frightened.
One time I smoked some 20x after being drunk (alcohol significantly potentiates the salvia, and increases disorientation). I freaked out and stumbled out of the dorm room where I had smoked it. I forgot who I way and how I got there. Luckly, I came to my senses before causing problems.
Anyways, I put my stash away and left it there, deciding that it wasn't worth my time.
I have carried my stash bag with me when I go places (not flying). The salvia has always been there. Its traveled with me after college, through grad school, and now to my new job in san diego.
In san diego, craft beer seems to be the favorite intoxicant, or at least the most in vogue one. I love good beer, so needless to say, I've been drinking a lot.
Tonight I was recovering from a bar-hopping night that was to celebrate a friend's bachelor party.
I looked in my stash bag, thinking about psychedelics again, and noticed my salvia. I felt that it has been long enough and maybe I have matured enough to attempt to meet salvia again. I was also curious if this stuff was any good after all these years.
I took a pile of the green leaves about the size of a penny (again likely to be 5x, but its been so long I don't know), and chewed it in my mouth for 15 minutes. I noticed no real effects, but remembered that sublingual salvia is best done with fresh whole leaves. I wondered if this stuff had degraded from age.
I put a pinch in a pipe and smoked it, holding in the hit like I remembered I used to do. About a minute later I felt a chilly rush over my body, running from my legs to the top of my skull. I tried to stand up and felt like gravity was fluctuating. I stumbled to my bed and lay face down with my eyes closed. i didn't notice any open-eye visuals, but with my eyes closed I saw darkness and i begain to see faint shadowy pattens. I could make out rows of eyes, looking at me, with long eyelashes, as if to show me "yes, I'm still here". These effects faded after about five minutes but as I write this I still feel a little slow, and have a glowing feeling about me.
I am happy to be re-acquainted with salvia, and hope to visit her in a reasonable fashion (not drunk, not too much, not in a bad environment) and see if I can learn something new.
I think I can learn a lot again from salvia by approaching it with respect and care. We'll see what happens when I voyage deeper.
Peace,
Yucatanboy
