It has only been 10 or 15 minutes since I finished smoking, so this report is written (or at least started) under the remaining influence of Salvia. So it might be written strangely, who knows.

I got a free gram of Salvia 5x in the mail a couple days ago, and I had no idea when I'd try it. There were other things in the package that I was much more excited to receive.

<< I just went to check to see if the voices I was hearing downstairs were real or not ... should I be trying to write a trip report now? The very act is giving me some amusement, so why not >>>

Anyway, on an impulse I decided to give the Salvia a try. I knew I would be talking to my girlfriend's parents later, and possibly partying later on tonight, so I just wanted to smoke a little and see what its effects were first hand after reading so much about this stuff. I was shooting for a sub-breakthrough experience of moderate intensity.

So I found a one hitter (my bubbler is elsewhere) and loaded it up about halfway. I took a bit hit and held it in for about 20 seconds. After that hit I didn't feel much, although I could tell something was different.

Loaded up hit #2. I should mention that I was using a busted torch lighter, and it took forever to light. So I certainly didn't do these hits in rapid succession like recommended for a breakthrough experience. But that wasn't what I wanted anyway. So I smoke hit #2 and afterwards my visual perception is shifted a little bit, and I feel a bit stoned. Overall feeling at this point is similar (but not the same as) smoking a small bowl. I'm sitting outside and looking into the woods next to my house, and it *feels* (not exactly looks) like some forest from a fairy tale. Its like I can sense the presence of all kinds of beings in the forest. I enjoy this state for a little while, then I start to come down....

Loaded up hit #3. This hit brought me back to where I was after smoking the second hit. Groovy.

Loaded up hit #4. This was a pretty decent sized hit. As always I held it in as long as possible. By the time I let out the smoke I must have had a grin on my face. Not only was I pleasantly stoned (some people say this isn't the most pleasant buzz, but I enjoy it... I still have it !!) but everything looked cool too! The forest came alive, looking all shimmery. It seemed closer to me than it actually is. I could really feel the presence of some kind of entities in the trees at this point. I could also feel my brain (which was quite abuzz) being pulled off to the left. I've read about this in other trip reports, and I'm glad to report its a pleasant and trippy sensation.

I decided to go indoors and put my paraphenalia away and go up to my room. I turned on "Touch of Grey" on my computer and laid down on my bed. I felt extremely relaxed and refreshed, and I liked the taste of the smoke on my breath.

Then I decided to write this trip report =)

Right now I'm still feeling very relaxed and in a pretty good mood. I still am a bit stoned and my vision is not really distorted, but the perception is still a bit off.

Nothing about the experience was unpleasant. In fact I enjoyed this much more than I expected to, and I'm glad I was able to get just the right amount for the 1st time experience I thought was ideal.

Next time I'll smoke a bit more, but I'll do it with a brave friend. I think it would be fun to do this with someone else, and I guess it would be a good idea to have a sitter if I was to have a breakthrough experience.
 
Sounds cool... i'm really interested in salvia, and will try it for the first time next week.

Great informative report, i can appreciate what the stuff is about from ur words
 
hehe....careful man...i have the highest respect for salvia... "breaking through" is an undescribeable experience...and not at all "fun"
 
It's not fun exactly, in the sense that it is a sort of spiritual journey, rather than novel inebriation. I have heard that from a lot of people anyway, I am tracking down some extract now, hope to try it soon. Thanks for the report, it was enlightening. Sounds like very interesting stuff.
 
That sounds kinda cool. How did you come by a free gram of salvia, if I may ask?
 
One of the best known ethnobotanical suppliers sends a free gram with orders over $30.
 
Hi,

Yes, salvia is quite an amazing herb. I've never found it frightening, but it can be extremely intense, so much so that I've gone 3 months or more at a time without touching it..

The afterglow alone is worth the experience, as I find it to act as an anti-depressant as well, lasting days afterwards.

Just how much did you smoke? You'll need less each time, since there's a reverse tolerance with salvia. (I can break through with less than 200mg of regular leaf now..)


A little tip(in case you didn't already know/and for others):

The secret to breaking through is absolute stillness, eyes closed, and silence.( no ticking clocks or fans).

And respect.

I have seen entities, heard voices from my childhood yelling at me to go to the playground, listened to birds' singing transform into children laughing and playing, experienced full-on fractalating vine-like patterns, ; seen myself in this reality/dimension from ANOTHER reality---and laughed out loud when I realized this life was just one of many realities, and a game...

try it :)

p.s A little bud as a base in the pipe synergizes very nicely with salvia.

So does a beer or 2.........
 
great report...although my first and last breakthrough experience with 5x was about as much "fun" as pulling out my own prostate through my throat.

what, nothing major after the 2nd cone, 3rd should do it, oh fuck....my mind was all of a sudden being diswemboweled by evil alien beings while my physical body rollled spinning on the floor, expunging cold, sticky sweat, forced to spin on the floor, like i was pulled apart atom by atom by a non-specific but very rappid torsion field, the aliens had a good laugh @ that one, music was planting hypnotic suggestions into my remaining reptillian brain, while the carpet insisted on attempting to swallow the residue of whatever might have been my earthly body.

and while i happen to enjoy ego death from such sacraments as high mikegae LSD, silly-cybin etc, the Salvia trip is definitely not the one for me, flushed the rest never again.

when my wife got home, she found me in a rather crazed state, ready to mount the final battle against the evil bastards who were out to control, subtly and with bad intentions, our helpless tehtered minds. LOL.

i find ayahuasca resin alot more visually pleasing, and the ego dissolution alot more benign.

pay much RES-pect and hope ya got a greem thumb #8^)

For me, noticeable effects lasted about an hour and a half.

But I could have passed for sober after 30 or 40 minutes.
