I finally took the plunge and tried salvia divinorum. I only had a minimally breakthrough experience, but wow -- I'm impressed. I must have a fairly good grasp on reality, because I didn't find salvia disturbed me much at all. Although I only got a taste of its full power, it doesn't strike me as a drug worth being scared of.

I lay down on my bed and put an amount of 10x fortified leaf that would cover about 2/3 of my little fingernail into a homemade bong made our of a honey bear, with a metal pen tip for a hitter. I took the hit, held it 20 seconds, and breathed out. I pulled the eye mask over my eyes and lay back.

At first, it was hard to notice anything, just my thoughts. So why was I sitting up with my eyes closed again? Wait a second... sitting up? I'm not sitting up! So why does it feel like I am? And which way is down again? My lips feel like they're far away, as if my body is a room, with my lips on one far wall and one ear and one arm on each side wall. Could I be imagining all this?

I took the mask off and sat up. As soon as I got on my feet and walked around, ooh yeah, I am definitely on something! No visuals per se. But my sense of balance and distance / size are a bit... different. I also have a pleasurable buzz, which seems to emanate from the back of my head, which just used to be the back wall of the room I just talked about.

Now, as I'm typing this, the effects are gradually fading. I am DEFINITELY going to experiment some more with this drug, for I feel it has a lot of potential.
 
that sounds like fun, but i don't know if i would compare it to a breakthrough. once you experience one, you'll know what i mean.

I do not find salvia to be a "fun" drug at all. It is more of an insightful ass kicking, to put me back in my place when I start to get overconfident with mind altering experiences. Once you have a true breakthrough, you will change your thoughts about salvia, guaranteed.
 
It really all depends on how disturbing you find ego loss. At a full breakthrough dose, you will forget who you were, where you were, and that you had even taken salvia in the first place. It doesn't just throw your lips across the room at breakthrough, it completely throws your mind out into a different dimension.

Just wait until you hit that special dose. You're not afraid yet, but...

<cue bad Yoda impression>

You will be...you will be... :D

Well put;)
 
You should try doses of 20x to your comfort level, thing's get really weird...I find it enjoyable, but I usually just stop when I break through, so I don't know the deeper levels of Salvia Divinorum that well.
 
hahahahaha he has a "fairly good grasp on reality, because I didn't find salvia disturbed me much at all. Although I only got a taste of its full power, it doesn't strike me as a drug worth being scared of." hahahhahahahahhahah


ya, lets see what your grasp on reality looks like when you take more. ;) im not bustin your balls here man, thats just what everyone thinks before they breakthrough, its a classic quote that actually made me laugh out loud
 
It's something that needs respected, especially when you start going up the strenghs. Not really a drug I find 'enjoyable'.
 
I dont find it too 'enjoyable' of a drug either, just erratic and mind blowing. It can be alright sometimes, but I havent done it in a while. But its good that your experience seemed pretty positive.
 
I wasn't scared of it before I tried it either. I figured it'd be pretty intense, but after doing LSD, shrooms, etc. I thought I'd be fine. All I can say is, RESPECT this shit, it can kick your ass! Just wait till you break through, then write a trip report.

It is something that reading every bit of first hand info cannot prepare you for. You may think that you are ready, but once you break through, you will never look at the odd smelling plant matter the same.=D
 
i tried salvia for the first time when i went down to florida in '04, smoked it w/ a friend... good laughs, my skin felt like treebark, we just sarted at each other laughing, and i saw sparkles & glitter everywhere.. fun times, but it's quite the tease

Sorry to come across harsh, but you have no idea what a Salvia breakthrough is. Don't go acting like you have a firm grasp on reality and talking about how salvia isn't scary till you take a truly psychoactive dose. It will rip your fucking mind out. Get a real bong, not a little bear to smoke out of. Report back when you understand the nature of the 14th dimension and know what its like to live as a doorknob for 10,000 years on a planet called Zorkob somewhere in the crab nebula system.
 
interesting report. i got a break through my first try but ive always been fascinated with the lower levels of salvia intoxication havent reached it yet ive been pretty much been blown away every single time. glad to hear you had fun though

You definitely came across harsh... come on, man. Yeah, he doesn't understand what a breakthrough is, but there's no need to attack him for it. 8(
 
I enjoyed experiencing a million lives within less than a second, whilst speaking to my unconscious mind, who, at the time, appeared as a human female in traditional Japanese dress.

I was told that next time, when I knew that I was ready, I'd meet her husband and her son.

Breaking through isn't silly fun. It's powerful, and it certainly affects your way of thinking. Some people take pills, or opiates, and they don't change their minds about life, or drugs, or humanity, or even themselves. But Salvia Divinorum is not a 'fun drug' (although I have only ever had positive experiences with it) but more of a tool to guide oneself towards their truth...

I do hope that you find yours, in future, and post your experiences upon this board. Whilst language may pale in comparison to what one can experience under the influence of this drug, I am all ears when it comes to amazing experiences with psychadelics.

The drugs are only the keys... Open the door. So far you've only turned the key in the lock, and a little of its natural (I always feel very 'natural' with Salvia, and also very honest) powers have shown you what it can do. However, gently push that door open and embrace ego-loss; embrace death; embrace the end, the beginning, the rebirth, and come out of it a better person...

Hell is subjective. ;)

Take care, happy tryping. %)
