Laid on the floor, I was feeling as if I had been snapped to another reality, with many things going on in the background, and I felt like I was lifting something heavy while I was barely touching a small dustbin that was there. I also felt as if I was glued to the floor. The thing is that it all lasted for about a minute, and was not near as intense as I expected it to be (judging by Youtube videos and the price of the thing).
NOTE: I have never experienced with Salvia beforehand.
You have by the sounds of it. The
bold parts I highlighted are classic salvia effects - feeling like you've got an elephant sat on top of you is a bit of a giveaway. If you also felt like you were being pushed through the floor and/or stretched apart, flattened into a weird kind of 2-dimensional hyperspace whilst being pulled apart and fed through a hyperspatial printing press then you were most definitely in Salviaworld
I can't help but think that it isn't real 10x Salvia, since I did everything alright. I heard that the Salvia experience gets more pronounced after a few uses. Does that seem logical in my situation (after having to smoke a lot of 10x with less than expected results)? Or could I just be over expecting things?
Salvia is one hell of a strange drug - for my money the most out and out weird one there is - and it hs a huge range of effects. Some folks apparently giggle a lot (YouTube stylee) but the majority are just steamrollered into submission by that freaky bodyload thing - the " Cosmic Conveyor Belt" effect as it's frequently described. Not everybody "tripz bawlz, man!" in any kind of way comparable to most psyches.
Personally, I've only ever had very mild (but deeply strange) OEV - watching my arms "unwind" and "unravel" off into a kind of extra-dimensional infinity - complete with road markings down the middle, oddly enough. If you've seen the film
Beetlejuice theres a scene where his arms unwind like one of those curly paper whistle thingies (and turn into mallets or something, if memory serves) then that would be a good approximation :D
Other than that it's purely mental for me - I need to lie down comfortably (preferably in a darkened room) - with closed eyes to get anything much beyond that nasty, freaky, weird (but strangely enjoyable sometimes) bodyload.
There's also a very fine line between tripping and blacking out with Salvia. When I smoke it I lose control of my movements and it feels like I'm a marionette controlled by some strange entity pulling the strings. If I didn't get enough smoke then I'll compulsively redose whether I want to or not and will often then hurriedly hide the bong and sage away for some reason. Although this can be quite enjoyable, it can also be terrifying and potentially dangerous - hence the need for a sitter at higher doses. Last time I smoked a strong dose of Salvia I blacked out and came too spinning (dizzyingly quickly) along my hallway wall and found myself desperately trying to open the front door and get out. Not ideal as I was nekkid except a dressing gown, had no key, and it was 4AM
Whilst in that blacked-out state I was in another world entirely - with no memory whatsoever of taking any drug. I was in a labyrinth that was spinning through space - stuck to the wall of the labyrinth, naturally - wouldn't be Salvia if you didn't become 2-D and stuck to some surface or other :D
Although it makes me giggle now, it was actually very bloody scary when I came to cos I realised things could have gone very wrong indeed. In the case of Salvia, jumping out of windows, running into busy traffic or picking up the nearest sharp (or blunt) instrument and laying into the nearest person with it are very real possibilities - it's the one drug I believe a sitter is absolutely necessary for at higher doses.
Other than a few PooTube vids, most people don't giggle and have anything approaching fun on Salvia - it's dark, bewildering, overwhelming and often terrifying. Can also be amazingly positive too, but mostly just a pretty horrific ordeal

People's natural tolerance to Salvia varies massively. Most of those folks you've seen on PooTube are on fairly mild (5-10X) extracts I suspect. Personally I get very little in terms of a trip from anything less 20X, but usually use 40X. The trip I describe above was on 60X and I've hardly touched it since
Also, if you are on any opiates then they pretty much kill the trip dead. First time I smoked Salvia a smoked a gram of good 20X in back to back bongs with nothing but a mild headache to show. Even without opiates, some folks are just naturally very tolerant of the stuff and need higher strength extracts.
You also need to make sure that it's a good extract - there are extracts out there calling themselves "60X," "80X," even "100X" but they are often weaker than a decent 10X. Get a good supplier and you'll know all about it, I promise you. I certainly won't promise that you'll enjoy it cos - like most peeps - you'll probably achieve your first breakthrough and immediately chuck whatever you have left away and swear to never touch the stuff again. It's an... acquired taste to say the least
If 10X isn't doing it for you then go for a 15 or 20X and see how that floats yer boat. You may be one of the more hardheaded types like myself that need a 40X+ extract to get anything much out of it. Go up steadily - don't jump straight in to the 60X monster headfuck stuff cos you'll most likely regret it if you remember anything at all - and make sure you are with a sober friend to keep an eye on you when experimenting with high doses cos very bad things can happen - trust me
In short, don't believe everything you see on PooTube - those folks are clueless morons anyway and also the prime cause of it being banned in so many places
They don't know what they are doing and don't seem to have much of a clue about what dose they are taking or what the "right" effects are anyway. Find your own path - it's much more rewarding
EDIT: Gosh! That's a Salvia essay and a half
I blame the peevee
I'm also considering smoking a lil Salvia now. Only do it once in a blue moon cos Im really not that keen on it, but on top of a euphoric stimulant (MDPV and mephedrone in this case) it's a far more enjoyable experience. If you (or anyone else who's less than enthusiastic about Sage) gets the chance then take a good bongful when on MDMA - if only Salvia could be so divinely sexy and euphoric without it
