Salvia(leaf) - 1st Time - Electric Lines.

I never thought I would do Salvia. It always sounded to intense for me. I used to like tripping quite a bit(only done mushrooms and DXM and DXM isn't really tripping,) but I have anxiety and sometimes that can get pretty intense. Mushrooms also make me pretty physically uncomfortable(the anxiety and built up tension,) and I didn't know if that would be the same on all substances. Now I very rarely do mushrooms, and couldn't tell you when I'll want to do them again. I kind of figured Salvia would be worse than mushrooms in an anxiety sense, and possibly even more uncomfortable in many ways.

Thats of course until you get it for free. I mean shit, free? Of course ill try it. So I meet my friend one day at his work gives me a bunch and tells me to split it up with the people I am with, which we promptly do. We drive off to my house to use my 2 foot bong for this little operation. I'm really kind of wondering if I should try it, or just give it all to my friends - as I didn't intend on ever doing it. He just busted it out and asked if I wanted any, so I figured why not. We get to my house and go to my room. I am obviously the guinea pig, and I didn't even want to do it in the first place.

In all seriousness, I knew I was in good company - and figured why not. It was just leaf and I thought if there was a way to start out, leaf would be it. I loaded up half of a bowl, figuring it wouldn't do much - as it is just leaf. I smoke it down real hard as to get maximum heat going on, I don't have a torch lighter. I hold the hit in as long as I can and blow it out. They ask how I feel, I tell them I don't feel anything.

Then I stand up, and realize I am completely fucking confused all of a sudden. This is not unlike my first time on shrooms where it completely snuck up on me and I didn't know what was going on at first. I am just standing there in mid stride, completely confused. They ask me "what's up?" and I just start telling them "shhh. shhh" for no known reason. Then I say "whoa, Im ahhh definitely tripping right now". I sit on the bed and everything has a strange cartoony look. I feel a weird sensation along my shoulders and down my arms. At first I try to itch it, as it kind of feels like an itch. Then I notice it feels more like an electric line almost(ha, kind of hard to explain). Its not really painful, it just fells wierd. As I sit I notice the lines go out to my fingertips, and all of the lines that make up what I am seeing in front of me (my room, friends) are connected to the lines on my fingertips.

I say "whoa" and look at my friend Josh. He's smiling at me and he says "You fucked up bubby?" in a joking way "I've asked you a question twice." I ask him what and he asks me to make a filter tip for his joint. I tell him it'll be a minute. I look around and everything I look at feels like it ends at my fingertips. This slowly gets less intense. However, I get up and in a completely confused state of mind look for my drink, in the process picking up both of my friends drinks and taking sips of them thinking they were mine. After this point it was much like a mushroom like mind-fuck and sort of similar perception with my body(swallowing and moving felt strange) for 10 minutes or so- but nothing really notable. I can say thought during the trip I was completely disorientated, I wasnt thinking of anything outside of that little room. If someone had walked in I dont know what would have happened. There was a tension and chaotic type feel to the trip.

At this point I realized Salvia was a weird fucking drug( and definitely re-affirmed this on my second trip). I was amazed leaf had done so much. I decided to hold onto the rest of what I had, as I liked the short duration and felt it wasn't too intense to not give another go. That definitely turned out to be a good idea. My 2nd Salvia trip report will be up sometime soon.

when i introduced a friend to it lately (15x extract I think) he kept laughing and squirming on the sofa and told me later there had been some nets (like fishing nets or something) from behind, pulling him this way and that and deeper into the sofa...

When i did it that day (have had it multiple times) what struck me the most is how much itfeels like "coming home+ after having been in salvia space so many times before... it's never fully "comfortable" in the classical sense but I am getting used to it in a way, and it's never been truly nasty to me either. This time I didn't laugh it away and tried to look more closely. What I found was that I really feel so much like an infant while on it, looking at everything, barely aware of my body... almost unable to move, a bit like sleep paralysis, not knowing if my eyes are open or closed, it being all the same, having moments in which I realise "hey, they're open - and I can see stuff" and looking at some object and recognising the object ckearly for what it IS but no longer knowing what it SIGNIFIES . . I see shapes, materials and stuff, but all conceptual knowledge of objects is gone... scissors are no longer scissors but strong metal blades with some colourful plastic covering that is no longer a handle but just a round thing ... and so on... it is amazing, and I find that as lomng as I fulyl trust myself and my surroundings, thefeelings of impending doom due to loss of control are quite minimal.

Clearly one of my favourite drugs for spiritual learning and immersing myself in the semi-psychedelic + semi-dissociative netherworld, even though I really don't do it that often.
 
I've found it's best to have one person there with you who will just be quiet, reassure you if needed, and keep you from going anywhere/doing something dumb. People saying things can really make things bad.

I love this part: "They ask me "what's up?" and I just start telling them "shhh. shhh" for no known reason. Then I say "whoa, Im ahhh definitely tripping right now". "

That's exactly how it is. You keep trying to get your mind around what's happening. Because out of everything I've done, nothing is like Salvia. Truly amazing.
