Okay so it all started 8 months ago. I was riding around with my boys after we left a hookah lounge. Middle of December in a small city, there was absolutely nothing to do. We were discussing our boredom and I seemed to be the most antsy one out of us to do something. Then it popped in my head that I always wanted to do psychedelic drugs. And so I said that to my three buddies, that at some point in my lifetime I must try psychedelics. My friends were amused.
Then my one buddy who was the driver mentioned that on the Indian reservation they sold Salvia and he told us how another buddy of ours smoked Salvia and the floor turned to lava. An intense description but in my mind I had it set that DMT was the most intense psychedelic around from my extensive research on it and after hearing it was legal I thought it can't be that insane. So after lengthy debate we headed up to the reservation with nothing to do, not really intending to buy Salvia, just driving somewhere. We get into this shop and my friend is at the cash register and I go '' he was wondering if you sold Salvia '' or something along those lines and slinked out of the store leaving my friend to deal with that. He came out laughing calling me an idiot, I don't think she had any salvia or that my friend asked if she did. Then we came to another head shop type pharmacy place, it was locked but there was a drive thru. Paused for a moment then decide we'd go through it. Waited a long time before anyone came and then I asked the worker if they sold salvia. She said they didn't but that another headshop nearby did but wasn't sure if they were still open. We went to check the place out but it was closed.
From there I slowly built up my interest in salvia. I called the head shop that closed and asked if they sold, they said they did and I asked her to put some salvia on the side for me and she did. What she had was a 50x extract, but I told her we wouldn't be needing it anymore because me and my friends never got around to doing it. The last 2 to 3 months I've really done my homework on salvia. I decided that I would try it as a tea, to avoid a horrific trip. I'm really glad I didn't smoke that 50x. So after my mom left for work (I'm 19) I prepared the salvia tea from what I read online. I let the water boil for 6 minutes on high then I put about an eight of an ounce of regular dried salvia leaves into the water and stirred rather continuosly for 14-15 minutes. Drained the tea, left the leaves on a plate because I was contemplating chewing and/or eating them later, which I did not do I just threw it out. So I was really nervous because of what I read online and because I feel a lot rides on this, that I really needed salvia to teach me something. I took a sip left it under my tounge and then swallowed. It was very bitter and unpleasant, I did not like it at all. Waited about then minutes I'd say then another sip, 20 seconds under the tounge wished it around my mouth and swallowed. Again really unpleasant. I think I put way too much leaf and not enough water. Made it again today and it wasn't nearly as unpleasant, actually I can't really say it was unpleasant at all but this time I also did not swallow the tea. After that I told myself I couldn't do the swallowing anymore and that since I read online the part that really matters is keeping it under the tongue I decided I'd just spit it out into a bowl after 20 seconds and washing it around my mouth. Waited some more and started taking two or three sips at a time. Nothing was really happening. I somewhat sensed different and I do remember the egde of my spoon in the salvia tea becoming a lot more noticeable right after the first sip but it wasn't exactly apparent and I began to get frustrated.
My first sip was at 4:45 and by 6 I was really frustrated and felt angry. I was thinking about smoking the leaf or 5x extract that I have to get the effects I was looking for but I hit up my connect and some weed was on it's way. I thought I'd smoke first , calm down, and then see what I would do with salvia. I wanted to get really high and just be gone. So I took 10 solid drags from a steel pipe. I was getting quite toasty. I began to notice some effects were different than just a regular high. I had the sensation that I wasn't controlling my movement. It reminded me a lot of the first times I'd smoked weed, I've only been smoking for a little over 4 months but I started off smoking with some friends then eventually once I got a lighter would smoke on my own at home. It reminded me a lot of those first few times with friends. I took one big hit while standing and felt my balance going off and I was looking at my plants and my field of vision was moving around. I went inside and paced around me basement for a while having some very ego less, wild and introspective thoughts. I'm convinced salvia had an effect on my weed trip. There's no reason to think this, it could have just been an intense high because it was pretty much the most weed I've ever consumed at once, but I do. Regardless it was the most psychedelic/trippy experience I've had so far. Well maybe not as wild as the first time I smoked weed in April but around there. I remember feeling like healed and at peace, felt like a lot of my depression had been lifted over me.
I tried it again today, this time I smoked first, little less then yesterday and then did my sips of salvia tea. I used about half or less as much leaf as I did for yesterdays tea. It's the faintest most unnoticeable thing but at the same time I can sense something is different and that it's salvia for that difference. I'm being so cautious because I feel like the plant wants to be consumed this way and that although smoking it would make it's effects apparent that I am approacing it the right way. I feel like I'm being cured and I don't want to halt or hurt that process in any way, so I'm being very studious with my approach to the wonder of Salvia Divinorum.
