Salvia anyone?

---

Has anyone here ever smoked salvia before? I have never done any hallucinogenic drugs before, and I would really like to try it. I've looked a lot into it so I know the effects, but I'm just worried that it might be too intense. I'd probably try a weak one, probably 10 or 20x if I can find it.I'm not quite sure if it would work, but before I take a huge trip off of it, could I just take a small hit off of a weak extract and just get a mild trip to get an idea of how it is? I watched a few videos on youtube of people tripping and it looks like a lot of fun. I'd be sure to have a sitter.soo, anyone who has done it, would you care to share your experience?

Saliva is not as great as it sound at first. First off, let me answer your questions.> I've looked a lot into it so I know the effectsThe effects vary from person to person, so there's no way to say for sure what you'll feel from it. I've never heard of any bad effects though (unless you count sweating excessively as bad). Chances are pretty good that you'll laugh a LOT about nothing at all (especially if you're with someone who's doing it as well).> but I'm just worried that it might be too intenseI don't think it's "too intense". I've never heard of anyone say it was intense, as a matter of fact.> I'd probably try a weak one, probably 10 or 20x if I can find it.As long as you're 18, you can buy them at several stores. I know a place in my area called Rock'n'Roll (a tattoo place) that sells it.Also, I'd suggest you go for the strongest extract you can find.> could I just take a small hit off of a weak extract and just get a mild trip to get an idea of how it is?Well, yes and no. If you take a really small hit, you may feel something weird going on, but really, it's nothing compared to taking a big hit and holding it in for as long as you can (like you're supposed to). But I can say that taking a small hit won't give you any idea of what taking a big hit is like.> it looks like a lot of funYeah, and now I tell you why Saliva is not that great. In case you don't know, the "high" lasts 1-2 minutes (for me) though it doesn't completely wear off for another few minutes (but at least you'll be able to talk normally, etc.).Also, it gets boring, real fast. Everyone I've talked to said they did it for a few times then it just got boring and wasn't really all that fun.But I definetely think you should try it if you want, it's pretty cool what it does to you. Just don't expect it to be a regular thing.> I'd be sure to have a sitter.As long as you're not driving anywhere, I doubt you'll need a sitter. Of course, it's always more fun when other peopel are around. Especially if those other people are doing it with you.Hope that answers some of your questions.

I watched a friend do it once. This may answer your question of "is it too intense" to make a long story short he rolled off the couch under the table and started screaming as if someone was stabbing him to death, he them bucked up and knocked everything off the table including a bong "which broke"Scariest thing ive seen happen to someone else, i was drunk / high out of my mind and i completely freaked out, i couldnt stop thinking about that for months.My "experience" friends say thats the worst they have ever seen, and that no one else had every acted like that, even on a bad trip, so i guess it just depends on the person.Most people i know that have smoked Salvia liked it but wouldnt try it again. I have a few friends that have done it 5+ times and have both good and bad trips.Just depends on your mood, mental state i guess, i myself have never tried it, i have a feeling i would freak out.

What I meant by saying I looked into the effects, I understand what can happen. I've read about experiences ranging from people feeling like they're melting into a chair, feeling like other people are around and laughing for no reason, or even as crazy as having an out of body experience. One of my friends at school tried it and he said it felt as if there was a whirl-pool type thing in front of his face trying to suck him into it.As for the couple minute trip, thats whats most appealing about it to me. I don't want to take shrooms or acid because those last for hours. I really want to try a hallucinogenic drug, but just in case I don't like it, I don't want the trip to carry on for hours. I'm gonna probably pick some up for this weekend so my brother and I can try it when he comes home for the holidays. He's done shrooms a few times so I'm sure he'll want to try this stuff.

...he rolled off the couch under the table and started screaming as if someone was stabbing him to death, he them bucked up and knocked everything off the table... that sounds like one of my freak outs. I hate them and i dk why some one would take shit to have them. i take nothing...... there not fun. The scarier ones are when i don't remember having it.

i heard my brother and his friend talkign abot soem guy they knew told them about a time he did acid. he thoguht the trees were chasing him and when he got in his car to escape the seats started eating him. Sounds like a nightmare to me..

i just don't get it.. i can understand wanting to get high and giggly but i can't get why some one would want to take anything that would make them freak. wtf is so fun about it?

As for the couple minute trip, thats whats most appealing about it to meWell see if you like it after a couple times. Let us/me know how it goes this weekend.> i just don't get it.. i can understand wanting to get high and giggly but i can't get why some one would want to take anything that would make them freak. wtf is so fun about it? I've never had a bad trip, but I've only tried Acid 2-3 times (I think only twice). I never hallucinated or anything like that, I just enjoyed the mellow feeling it gave me.

I've never had a bad trip, but I've only tried Acid 2-3 times (I think only twice). I never hallucinated or anything like that, I just enjoyed the mellow feeling it gave me.Like I said before, I've never done acid, but I didn't think it actually gave much of a high. I thought you just saw/heard things differently, but you feel normal.One of my good friends has taken shrooms 2 times, and both he had a positive experience.The first time he was in his friends backyard at school which borders the woods. It was during the day around spring time. Anyway they ate them, and laid in the grass for a while. He said all of a sudden it felt like the grass was growing all around him and like over his face. He also said that it sounded like there were birds chirping directly into his ear and it was one of the coolest feelings ever. He said that he felt 100% normal, but things just would go wacky if your looked at them for a little.

I thought you just saw/heard things differently, but you feel normal.Well, you do feel normal (and I know other people do), but like you said everything's just weird. I was talking to someone after work one day and this guy who we both knew just walked by and didn't say a word. She told me that he had taken 14 hits of acid and didn't know what the fuck was going on (but this guy would regularly take 10 hits to get fucked up).But that's kinda crazy, I would never do it like that. I just wanted to try it to see what it's like.I do want to try shrooms sometime, that's something I've never done. After I try that, I think I've tried everything I want to try.

Before I try shrooms I'm gonna see how I react to salvia. I have heard that salvia is more of a body/mind trip rather than seeing things. I mean that salvia, you feel and react to things differently, rather than seeing a clock or something melt off the wall like you may experience with acid or shrooms. For instance I've heard of people saying it feels like they were becoming part of the chair that they were sitting on, or that they felt like they were getting pushed in a direction by a weird force.If I could find some shrooms that would only last for 3-5 mins I'd definitely take them over salvia. I'm just afraid of getting a bad trip and have it go on for hours. I've heard to many negative side effects of acid so I'm gonna stay away from it. Either way I'm gonna make sure to do it with friends around me while I'm in a good mood.

I have heard that salvia is more of a body/mind trip rather than seeing thingsDefinetely. The first time I took salvia I had no idea what would happen. Also, this was before I had ever smoked weed or anything like that (just cigs). I took the hit, held it in for about 30 seconds and before the 30 seconds was up I could already feel stuff getting weird. Then all of a sudden I had no idea what was going on and I kind of blacked out (but not really), I guess my mind just went blank. Then all of a sudden I fell down and couldn't figure out which way was up. I thought there was a wall of grass beside me going straight up (I thought that was the ground). I didn't actually see it, but that's where I thoguht the ground was (right beside me).Funny thing is that someone taped the whole thing so afterwards I watched it and it was pretty funny. I kept trying to get up but I couldn't and just fell down, about 10 times.

how long did that last for?I'd like the trip to last 10 minutes MAX. Thats a huge max. Ideally, I would like a 3-4 minute trip but I know it varies from person to person.

It was probably not more than 5 minutesAnd I guarantee your "trip" won't last for 10 minutes. You'll come down (if you want to say that) after 3-5 minutes or so and still be feeling weird for the next 5 or so. Then it's completely gone.One thing though: One time I wanted to try and take more than one hit (usually after one big hit you're gone), and I found out that if I really wanted to, I could control myself enough to take another hit.Of course, I didn't really last long on the 2nd hit because a hit while the first one is kicking will just overwhelm you. That's something you may want to try (taking two hits) to make it more fun.

When you said after one big hit your gone, but if you want to take a second you can probably control yourself, what do you mean by control yourself?I know it fucks you up a lot, but at first do you just feel really really high, or do you actually start tripping immediately? I can't wait to try it, I'll let you guys know how it goes.

> When you said after one big hit your gone, but if you want to take a second you can probably control yourself, what do you mean by control yourself?

Hm, I knew that would confuse you. Usually when you take a hit and wait you are just so out of it that you don't know what you're doing and you can't control it (for example, after that first time, I always laughed a LOT and I couldn't stop, and it wasn't like the laughing that you get from weed sometimes).

But I basically stayed in control long enough for me to take a 2nd hit.

But you'll know exactly what I mean once you try it. It's hard to explain.

> I know it fucks you up a lot, but at first do you just feel really really high, or do you actually start tripping immediately? I can't wait to try it, I'll let you guys know how it goes.

It pretty much kicks in about 30 seconds after you take a hit. Everytime I've done it, it kicked in while I was still holding it in. Just try to hold it in as long as possible and you'll be gone less than a minute after that.

> I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Out of curiosity, what are you smoking out of?
