(Salvia Divinorum/unknown extract) Semi-experienced: Almost there

[Basik1]

A little history of myself, I have a lot of experience with opiates and cocaine, and that is about all. I have been free of a gripping five year opiate addiction for over four years now. I am 24 years old, 165 lbs.

I have very little experience with psychedelics, have done mushrooms four times, LSA twice, ketamine once, used cannabis daily before the opiate dependence, and one wild day with peyote (at SARstock, if anyone remembers that, I was one of the dumb teenagers freaking out due to inexperience). I have also smoked salvia numerous times before, but have never had a "breakthrough" experience yet, and I assume all the opiates bound to my kappa receptors played a huge part in that.

I am still on suboxone, however only 1 mg a day, and that has been the extent of my opiate use for the past few years. I know 1 mg of suboxone a day is pointless but that is a whole other topic.

So a few days ago I came home after work to an empty house. A coworker provided me with an unknown strength extract of salvia he had bought a few years ago, the original packaging was gone, it was just in a ziplock bag. It looked to me like 5x or 10x, I have had 20x before that was much darker.

I do not smoke cannabis anymore, so I do not own a pipe or bong, and was not willing to spend money on one for one trip. So, as shameful as this is to say, I crafted a pipe from a pop can, and this has worked before, two of my friends had quite the trip off smoking salvia from a pop can pipe.

I sat in my comfy computer chair and placed a pinch of the extract on the pipe, lit it up and inhaled as much as I could. I held it for as long as I could and exhaled. No breakthough, disappointed I cursed my coworker for giving me bunk shit that didn't make me feel a thing!

I then heard a car door close outside and panicked. Not that I was expecting anyone, but someone coming to the door while tripping on salvia could provide quite annoying. I jumped up and looked out the window and could not see any car infront of my house except my truck.

I definitely felt something, it felt as if I was continuously nodding my head very quickly however my head was not moving. Maybe not bunk, just need another hit.

I took another large hit from the pipe and exhaled this time the head nodding got more intense, uncomfortably intense, still no visuals, just felt really weird, and heavy, I got up and walked around, and had enough for one more hit, I loaded it and smoked.

As soon as I exhaled I decided I had better lie down. I flopped on my bed and stared at a Led Zeppelin poster on my wall (the one with the guy on the mountain and the lyrics to Stairway to Heaven). The yellow letters of the lyrics seemed to be "leaking" downwards but they never changed position. Very strange almost as if I had to keep re adjusting my line of sight so that they would not fall off the black poster.

The border on my wall under my ceiling, looking at it right now, has a relatively plain pattern on it, however at the time it looked very "Egyptian", almost like hieroglyphics. Very cool. I kept laying there, enjoying the subtle (very subtle) visual and perceptual changes I was noticing. I felt heavy, and the nodding or pulsing in my head was still there.

I got up and sat at my computer and turned a song on, and let the rest of the effects vanish.

Still not a breakthough at all, a little disappointing, but all in all it was not too bad. I was able to get a bit more salvia from the same person and plan another attempt tonight. Will report back. The anticipation is killing me. I know the experience can be horrifying but I want to experience it, just once.

Salvia D. is such an amazing/scary/awe-inspiring plant. It showed me a few amazing "reality shredding evles" but they almost scared me straight

Has an A or L experience last night will write the report after work, it was amazing/scary. I felt so connected to everything around me, and my body felt like It was being stabbed with millions of little pins, crazy shit

Ok, so here is my second attempt with this same extract, smoked last night.

Long day of work yesterday, I was exhausted, which probably added to the effects. I unfortunately used the same smoking device (pop can..) and a bic lighter. I once again adjusted my room and took away and potential dangerous stuff, closed the door, and sat in my comfy chair.

I took a long hard haul from the pipe, filling my lungs. Held as long as I could, you know the drill. I exhaled and immediately felt as if my body was being stabbed by millions of little pins or needles. Very odd sensation indeed. This first haul hit me harder than three hauls did a few days prior.

I decided to take another hit. Followed the procedure and exhaled. This time more needles, and the same nodding sensation in my head as before. Everything seemed very different looking to me and I could not understand why. I was puzzled by the curtains in my room, they seemed to be blowing in the wind, but the window was closed and no fan was on. Why was this happening I thought? I decided I had enough and folded up the bag of salvia and laid down, as soon as I did my whole attitude changed almost as if a voice was telling me to take another hit.

I unfolded the bag and took one last hit. It was the last one I needed. I was sky rocketed to another place. Wait, let me correct myself, MY MIND was sky rocket to another place. Visualy nothing changed, but I could no longer think straight. I got extremely hot and cracked the window a bit and fell back into my chair because I couldn't stand properly, I felt like a million pounds. Needles still pricking my body in every cell of my skin.

I was able to lay down, my bed is two feet from where my chair is. I was staring at the same Led Zeppelin poster that I talked about in my first post. This time the letters of the lyrics were becoming embossed in star patterns and sort of "skittered" all over the poster. Very hard to explain, almost like that screen saver on windows that just shows your desktop with a transparent thing going over everything and embossing it. That is sort of what I was experiencing, the closest way I can describe it.

I was enjoying watching this when all of a sudden the poster became a 3D looking object, the edges embossed, a few inches off the wall it seemed. Everything poster and border on my wall became embossed and looked like parts of a whole, as if everything was connected on a certain level.

At this point I heard a bird outside, it was chirping, and I became even more mind fucked. I was asking myself why an animal would try to communicate with me? The sheer terror I experienced from this is indescribable. I kept asking "who are you? who are you? who are you?". When I realized I was saying it out loud I also realized how strange my voice sounded, as if I never really paid attention to the sound of my own voice, ever in my life.

I laid there for the rest of the trip in utter confusion, closing my eyes. I was not experiencing CEVs per say, not like I have experienced on other substances, but it was very bright when I closed my eyes, I could not find darkness, and at this point I was trying to cower and hide from the rest of the trip.

The effects were wearing off, and I went and drew a bath, I desperately needed some comfort. I laid in the bath and pondered the trip. A little scary, not too intense though. I felt very paranoid at times that someone was in my house, which no one was. This feeling was more present before I took the third hit and blasted off.

All in all, I do not regret it and I still have a little bit left, enough for one more trip. I am going to invest in a bong and torch lighter and do it right by the book for one more trip to salvia space. I am looking forward to my next date with Sally.
