I just heard of salvia last night and from my friends descriptions of their experiences of it and watching a girl on it before me decided to give it a try myself. They gave me less than what they had started out with, and I apparently had the worst trip than any of them. This is the description of my trip:

Immediately after breathing it in and then breathing it out I remember feeling like I was sinking and everyone in the room with me disappearing. I stated that I wanted to escape and that and apparently started thrashing my arms around. Suddenly, I was in the ocean and there were many fish with different colors. I began to feel like I was drowning. I reached my arms up in a manner as if I was drowning and then threw my hands to my throat as if I was choking. I felt like I couldn't breathe. My one friend decided to mess with me and mention asked me what pikachu was like. Apparently, I yelled out that pikachu wasn't there, even though as soon as pikachu was mentioned I saw him floating in the ocean I was. Soon, I felt like I wasn't only drowning, but I felt like I was seizing as well. At that point my friends that they were extremely scared for me and moved me from the chair I was sitting in to the sofa. As soon as I was moved, I began to "escape" from my trip and thanked them for saving me and asked to be held onto.

I was wondering, how common is it to feel like you are drowning and/or seizing?

That is the salvia manifesting its ego destroying properties through your vision of drowning. My ego died on salvia by ripping my physical body away from my mind via thousands of pieces of fractal shards.

Interesting. I remember seeing a million 'dominoes' of myself floating along on a series of roller-coaster like tracks before being violently sucked up by a vortex devouring anything in it's path. Not quite drowning or seizing, but surely just as intense..



Ginsing, do you think you'll be experimenting with salvia again?
 
Probably not, I wanted to try shrooms or acid, before I tried this, but I've been told that I really shouldn't since I had such a bad reaction with being on salvia for just 5 min.....though, it felt like hours had gone by
 
Acid and shrooms are completely different things. Alot of people who enjoy those don't like the effects of salvia, just start low to familiarize yourself with the effects.

I have a few more questions. How potent was the extract you guys smoked? Did you use a bong, pipe, etc?? How long did you hold it in before exhaling?
 
I think they said 5 or 15, I used a bong, and I held it in for 10 sec, also, I was also drunk (if that affects anything)
 
^Alcohol is not a good mix with any drugs really, but especially bad with psychedelics. This may have been a major contributing factor.
 
dude dont be put off from trying acid or shrooms because of salvia. man salvia is COMPLETELY different. I tried it and had such an INTENSE reaction i was also scared to try anything else. But dude believe me, shrooms and acid at reasonable doses are much much easier to handle and much more pleasant (imo) and are not anything even close to salvia. Salvia is a monster; lots of people that love shrooms and acid will never touch salvia again after the first time like me. It is definately not something to take lightly or do for "fun"

It depends what state you're in. Check the legal status, and if it's legal, then they most likely sell it at your local smoke shop.

To OP: I agree with the others saying that shrooms and acid are completely different drugs than salvia. You shouldn't be afraid to try them, how ever you should know that a bad trip is just as plausible depending on your mindset. I personally have never had a bad trip on anything, and I base that solely on my open-mindedness. Just go in, expecting the best, and there will be a less likely chance of you having a bad experience.

This is true, your trip is relative to your thinking. I too am fully open minded and have never had a bad trip on anything else. But man salvia is something else. It completely caught me off guard. I should have done my research...
 
I wouldn't know where to get it, my friend just happened to have it. And I don't plan on ever doing that shit again >.<
