Salvia is underrated. Since it's pretty impossible to OD on and it doesn't have any sort of hangover that I can tell, people tend to way overdo it. Like loading up 40x and smoking a whole bowl of it. If you just do the leaf by itself or perhaps 5x on top of something else you're on, it will make the experience way more interesting. but if you do a big bowl of extract you're gonna forget that you're even human and that can be very scary for most people.
LMAO, it's kind of true, the "forget you're human" part...hahaha. My experience(s) were a bit different, but probably similar to most of y'alls....
The absolute first(before I realized a BUTANE lighter/torch must be used, as the it takes a certain amount of heat to activate the salvia fully) I put some in a bowl(and I was around a friend or two) and after smoking I sat down and started laghing UNCONTROLLABLY, at friggin SportsCentre on ESPN! My friends claimed it didn't do much for them. HOWEVER, the second time AND the last(as my experience was the first "don't really have control" episode of my life, and theirs was, well a nightmare, loo).
This time I did what I was supposed to(cleared the people out of the room, had a butane torch ready, and I put on the 13 minute version of "Bittersweet Symphony" by the Verve Pipe via Rolling Stones on, supposedly using a comforting/beautiful song is essential) and torched the salvia(20X extract), sat down, and ten seconds later: I am floating above my body, staring down at the floor. It was iff my chair was glued to the ceiling and I was looking down....then I closed my eyes and opened them and 13 minutes had passed in what seemed like 20 seconds.
Next up, my bud Sergio, who insisted on us being in the room in case he OD'd...lol...well, he lit up...FREAKED OUT, saying I've got to leave, and he RUNS to his car, and apparently drives around the block without killing anything/anyone. We still make fun of him about that incident...as I can't even IMAGINE trying to drive after a big hit of salvia. lol...
Anyway, BACK ON TOPIC...
Ever since I've started enjoying/indulging in the products of the poppy plant(vicodin, oxycontil, heroin, etc), I can't STAND alchohol UNLESS I'm out with my friends. It still does help when getting to know women, but using it as a social lubricant(oh yeah, it is, eh?! Doesn't help me though, apparently women all think I'm gay, even if I say let me prove otherwise...lol, but sad at the same time!
Weed, as it does for MANY of you, gives me a full-blown panic attack each and every time. It all started when a family member(douche uncle at Christmas eve party) threatened to call the cops on me in front of a room of maybe 15-20 people. And while most of those guys/gals were cool(1st cousins 'round my age, who also smoked with me that night), it still freaked me out HARDCORE. And now, I believe that freakout fucked me over when it comes to enjoying the beautiful plant/weed!
I hate ish like DXM, Acid as well
