salvia divinorum

[x_kush_x]

hello, pretty new here but i have a bit of a problem with my salvia.

I've smoked salvia extracts maybe 15 times in total now, and pretty much the same thing happens every time:

1. Smoke.
2. Feel force pulling me this way and that.
3. Reality broken into different segments, and each segment seems to have some form of consciousness.

However, i'm still firmly in this dimension, even when i shut my eyes, i know im still in reality.

Maybe i have some sort of mental barrier, which isnt allowing me to let go of reality....


So my question is, is this normal? What do y'all suggest? Also, it seems way mroe disorientating to pretty much every other trip report i've read/seen. I mean if i'm not in pitch black i pretty much just see the 'segments' in our reality and end up just feeling dizzy and fucked up, BUT NOT AWAY WITH THE FAIRIES WITH SALLY.

PS. I've smoked a 10x from one source, and a 20x from a different source, both with the same effects. Where the fucks the variety of trips...

^Agreed.

If you aren't breaking through then you aren't getting enough. Make sure you use a torch lighter and hold in the hit for as long as you can. I personally can't imagine anyone needing anymore than 10x but you could always try stronger preparations as well.

Definitely check out the PD directory and this might be merged into a B&D but that's up to the PD mods.

BDD>>>PD.

I've never tried Salvia, but would like to! 10x does sound minor compared to some of the concentrations that are out there. I would suggest trying more as well. Maybe you should try it in a different situation..? In a different room or environment?

Hope this helps ~ Good luck on your journey.

It does sound like you're not breaking through. There's pretty much a liminal threshold where beyond that you're literally no longer you anymore, you're an ethereal puppet experiencing cause and effect from both sides of the ontological connundrum. You're mental barrier won't be stopping you breaking through on Sally; it's unlike tryptamines where you need to surrender to the flow in order to get 'out', Salvia will take you by force whether you're ready or not.

There's two things that could be stopping you breaking through: a low yield extract, and poor smoking technique. 10x extract should easily be enough if it's been made properly and from good quality Salvia Divinorum leaves. I've broken through on 5x. Your best bet is a regular strength standardized extract. Something like 15mg/g. I found the extracts that I bought from my local headshop to be weaker than some I have purchased from ethnobotanical suppliers.

You need to smoke it preferably with a torch lighter in to a bowlful (though a normal lighter will work if you do it properly). Hold the flame over the bowl for the whole duration of the inhalation. Inhale a deep lungful, take it down with air, try not to cough, and then hold for at least 30 seconds. You must hold it in for you to absorb enough Salvinorin to breakthrough.

You're bound to feel a bit disoriented. If you've just reeched the point below the breakthrough threshold, that's a very heavy dose and you're going to feel strange. That won't be an issue when you breakthrough since strange has no meaning in Salvia space.

Are you using a Jet Lighter to burn it though a water bong? Also you need to hold it in as long as possible.

Sometimes when I am holding it in, I feel like I can hold it in forever or hold my breath till I die...but really its just the mind departing from the body and you never realize you exhale =)
