I heard that with salvia, most people just sit down and stay down for the duration of the trip, but a percentage of people will get up and try to walk around blindly. If im a sitter and the person im sitting decides to get up and walk around what should i do? cus doesnt touching a person potentially send their trip awry? If I happen to get up and walk around, what should I tell my sitter before hand to do in that case?
 
when i smoked 10x me and some friends hit the pipe then started walking to the mall, i couldn't stop walking one of my friends had to like stop me, it was really weird.

If they do start walking around watch out they may break something if your indoors but otherwise you shouldn't have much to worry about.
 
While experiencing salvia gravity most people choose to remain seated. I have never stood up and walked while on salvia, but if someone decides to get up and walk around just make sure they dont fall or break anything.
 
ya you're right - touching a person can freak them out - so if they try to get up gently guide them back to wherever they were sitting. I personally have never tried to stand up on salvia, but I suppose some people might try to. Just make sure to get them to sit back down in a non-threatening way...
 
Walking around whilst *Somewhere Else* was why I stopped smoking Salvia - you can do some very strange (and even dangerous) stuff in that state. I've never had a sitter and always came to my senses just in time to avoid anything untoward happening but wouldn't risk it again without a sitter after the last incident.

I've also heard that it can be a bad idea to disturb people going walkabout and would agree with the above - just keep an eye on them and only intervene if they are heading towards or about to do something risky. Try to be as gentle and non-threatening as possible if you need to step in but try to avoid interrupting them unless absolutely necessary would be my advice.
 
Please treat salvia with respect. If you fuck with it, it will fuck you right back.

Don't overdo the dose, and don't combine it with other drugs, especially not weed.
 
Thanks for all the feedback.
My experience with salvia was the most powerful thing ive yet experienced.
 
Salvia hit on a mephedrone peak is delicious. Massive eye wiggles and colours and mmmmm.
 
Someone knows a way to make salvia a little more comfortable, not that mindfucking. With opiats, benzo, alcohol? Some experience ?
 
Take it on top of MDMA. Other than that a few (and I do mean just a few) drinks maybe. Opiates may help but not sure how that would work out as Salvia works on your opiate receptors so may have some weird interactions going on... come to think of it, Salvia had zero affect on me when I used opiates heavily so maybe scrap that idea. Benzos would probably help with anxiety too. Or maybe GBL/GHB. Any downer will likely dull the psychedelic effects but with Salvia there's plenty enough to go around. MDMA is my top tip though. Or use an oral tincture instead as it's much mellower, less headfucky and just more enjoyable all around.
 
Stay away from balconies with Salvia for sure, I've known people who have almost killed themselves by trying to jump off of a balcony on salvia.

I was standing both times I smoked it, the first time I was standing in the snow with two other guys smoking it out of a bowl, the other time I was doing it with a grav mixed with buds, which in hindsight was a horrible idea. Next time I do it, I'll be sitting in my backyard, smoking it out of a bowl with nothing else. I'm also going to make sure I heat it well enough as well, because I feel like that's the way to get as much of the Salvinorin A as possible.

I want to have a real breakthrough, and a good one. As I've said before, despite my disappointing experiences with it previously, I'm still willing to give it one more chance. And if it works out well, then I might try to combine it with LSD, since I've never heard of anyone doing that (maybe it's a horrible idea) and I feel a bit adventurous. It's probably a disastrous move, and I may not even do it.
 
I've found smoking salvia 40x just after smoking heroin to be quite enjoyable. The opiates in my system seemed to take away some of the negative physical effects you feel from smoking salvia. Things seemed to be more "manageable" as well, only way i could describe it.
 
Probably the best way to prevent this from happening is discussing it just before you ingest the salvia. tell the person, "you aren't going to get up and walk around... you're just going to relax and let the trip take you where it takes you."

Personally, I break through each time, so getting up and walking around would only come after I've regained consciousness... which isn't going to happen until I've come down.
