Date- May 4th 2002
Setting - Basement, on a bed, no lights, no sound.
Breathing apparatus - small 12 inch glass bong
Lighting tool - Small butane torch lighter
Substance - Approx. 250mg Salvia divinorum, 10x extract
Now just to give you all a little background before I go into my experience...
My friend and I purchased 5 grams of standard salvia leaves. We began to experiment with salvia after reading on it for about a month. There were three of us sitting on the floor around a single candle in a completely dark and silent room. We used a small glass pipe approximately 3 inches long with a standard lighter. This only resulted with a slight head buzz but no profound changes. We also began laughing uncontrollably after I began laughing and stated "Something's funny."
The next attempt was with one of the same friends. Same dark and silent room but we were now equipped with a small butane torch lighter. Let me just tell you... it's rough to smoke salvia through a 3 inch glass bowl with a torch lighter unless you're used to breathing in extremely hot air... silly me! Same effects. Mild head buzz and a bit of laughter.
I'll skip the next few instances and get to the chase... as you can see... salvia does require a bit of 'practice' I guess you could say... to either reach a level where your body will react the desired way... or maybe just finding out the correct method of smoking... anyways, without further adieu...
1930 Hours - I sit on the edge of the bed with my back facing the wall so that I can fall back without hurting myself. My sitter is sitting directly in front of me ready to take the bong from my grasp should I become incoherent. I place my mouth on the tube and activate the torch lighter. I apply the flame directly upon the quantity of salvia in the slide and suck in as hard as I possibly can. I placed my hand over the tube to keep the remaining bit of smoke from coming out and held it on for approximately 25 seconds. My world seemed to change very quickly and I exhaled, placing my mouth on the tube to clear the chamber of the remaining smoke.... after that the world seemed to slip away.
T:1930:30. My world completely melted away. I do not remember anything after right then but my sitter reported that I mumbled something incoherently and then laid back and was completely still. From my own perception I was taken back into my past, to my grandmothers house as a child with my aunt standing there speaking to me. I do not remember any words being spoken, just the fact that we were talking. Moments after that I am ripped from that place and thrown into nothingness. I began to struggle slightly in my mind I suppose.. struggling to comprehend that I did not exist. Reality came to me in waves and I could not grasp any of it. I began searching through my life, through everything I had been through for some sign or evidence that I had ever been real but I could not find it. I began to despair this, as I suddenly realized that my whole life meant nothing because none of it ever happened... because I never existed.
I was unaware, the entire time, that I had smoked salvia. I was unaware of what I had been or where I had been before this experience... it was as if I had always existed in the state that salvia took me to. The waves began flowing towards me and I struggled to grasp but still I couldn't find any evidence that I was real or simply put, what reality was. I had no idea. Very slowly I began to regain consciousness. When I was coherent enough to remember I was in a room and laying down, I told my sitter to "bring me back"... to make me real again. He turned on the flashlight but that was not enough. I had him turn on the whole light.
t:1940.00 The trip is completely over, mentally anyways. I get up slowly and begin to express what sort of intense experience I just had. I was grabbing everything, feeling it, touching it because it was real and I was so glad to be real again, myself. The physical feeling is very very had to describe... my body continued to tingle as I believe it did the entire time I was in the company of salvia and continued to remain that way for approximately 20 minutes... and even thinking of what I just experienced brought back intense emotions that came from it.
Well, this is as best as I could describe my experience... I hope whoever reads this and is planning on meeting Lady Salvia takes this and uses it as best they can. I was a bit skeptical myself about how powerful Salvia was and she showed me that she did not fuck around. Take her very seriously and treat her with respect and she will return the feelings. It is NOT something to do for fun. I suggest being in a peaceful state of mind before attempting to smoke this wonderful creation.
 
This experience was both astounding yet terrifying. Very terrifying. It's been about 9 days now and I'm still not sure if I'm mentally prepared to go back. Perhaps I am.
 
go back all the way. or go back as to the 6x you took the other day. lol
*chants* go back, go back, go back
come over to my house foo and bong rip it, lady salvia is wandering if you don't like her anymore...lol
3 more days for me!
 
I thought I had "broke through" but at least I was always aware that I had actually smoked the salvia =)
 
your trip sounds similar to mine, as do many salvia reports. i have not yet had the courage to go back to salvia land.
 
yes, I experenced a similar trip off of .1g of 10x. Total out of body, contact with other unknown persons. Wild stuff ;-)
 
yeah that sounds like salvia breakthrough.. when i had mine i wasnt aware that i had smoked any salvia, perhaps the only substance i´m actually scared to take
 
Ever since my first "breakthrough", i've always found salvia not only interesting, but not at all terrifying. I found it most scary before I "got there", when you smoke it and you feel like your headed right into it, but don't know whats there...and you don't completely go there.

After using it many times, I like to have it around while i'm on another psychedelic. If you can't make it with salvia alone, usually being on another psychedelic and smoking it seems to make it easy (although be prepared to experience one hell of a trip!). I have taken a small "toke" of salvia extract while on 5-meo-dipt, 2c-t-2, and 2c-i. Seems like the egoless state (not in a dark room, i have yet to experience a breakthrough in complete darkness) is much "clearer", like melting right into your enviornment, becoming completely a part of everything else. Coming out of this state has always left me with a happy mental state, so happy you could cry, hug anyone somewhat nearby without a "reason".

For people that have experience with salvia, does it seem like, when the effects are coming on, that some part of your brain near the face/eyes, is being "detached" from the rest of your brain in some way, like...your being pulled away from access to memory, etc. It feels like its coming from behind you (towards your face, feels like you are peaking or pushing into something like..uh..water..or maybe more like just your face above water), and when it gets past your mouth, thats when the slurred speech/unable to speak/move mouth happens.. I can always literally feel this roundish shape, like if i was in a pool, and walking towards a deeper part of the pool and keeping my face pointed toward the ceiling. Hmm, maybe my head tilted so that my mouth went under water first..

I mean what a strange feeling, and strange when "it" goes past or partially past your mouth, its like you are disconnected from your mouth and thats why you cannot talk. When I take a hit or two enough to go all the way in, there's always been some light, so when i fully go "under water", i'm just egoless and part of my surroundings. Comfortably numb - like I am a simple consciousness (like a baby being born, and suddenly shown all this unknown perception imformation) When it wears off enough to where i start to maybe look around, its like i'm looking for a reminder of who/what I am, or, like a baby, curiously checking out my new body and sensory input. Like i'm a little tiny tiny "thing" of consciousness, and I just got hooked up to a brain, well ..slowly being hooked up as the effects of the drug wear off. No fear ever, since I don't know what to fear or what it is. It seems like then i'd see something that "reminds me" of what I am/who/where I am, and as my "memory" is being slowly wired back up (and feels like i'm now walking towards the shallow part of the pool, the roundish thing going back behind me) i'll look around and be like "oh yeah". It feels as though I could have re-wired myself to another person's brain, memory and all, and just been that person with of course no memory of me. Hell it feels like I could have been "wired" up to anything, and it would have been normal, not only normal but like i'm "waiting" to be hooked up. Oh gosh I should just write one report combining all my experiences..

I can only guess, what it would be like with no sensory input, whether its a dark room with no sound, maybe on a waterbed...the less input from the senses the better. So when I am being "re-wired", I guess all I have to work with to figure out what I am is my memory..and what else is in my brain (seems like whats in your short term memory as you hit the salvia pipe, like remembering that at all, is one of the last things to "come back") I would guess my brain might scan through memory's and make up a reality, dream, whatever. Something I soooo have to try!

Also, now would this not be cool.. Never heard of anyone doing this with Salvia. Have a bunch of pictures of yourself...or..even someone else, have a friend edit them up on the computer, to basically make a bunch of pictures to hang on the walls of a room the salvia smoker will be in (never saw the room before) when he/she smokes it completely dark and quiet. Not just pictures, a whole room made to look like you are a totally different person. Like, some famous person maybe. So the person smokes it not knowing anything about the room they are in since it is completely dark and silent. Hopefully a strong breakthrough experience - slowly turn up some kind of light (maybe even have the person put on some really wierd pants/shirt in the dark before this). Hell have someone come in who the person doesn't know, acting like..a mom...maid...looking like he/she is coming in to do a regular thing, and say something like "oh i see your awake. Good its almost time to eat *insert a new name for the person*.". You would probably really think you just woke up and everything is normal but your just not sure who you are yet. ("hmm i must be really tired") LOL. Sounds like fun to me! Probably for experienced people only though, for sure.

Something similar to the above, it would be interesting thats for sure.
