Salvia - Just bought some. - General

I just drove 5 hours round trip to a head shop in Indiana because Ohio has banned Salvia. This is what I came back with. [IMG]http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/9681/img2410x.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/3422/img2424v.jpg[/IMG] [url=http://www.purplestickysalvia.com/product.php?cat=1]Purple Sticky Salvia[/url] It comes in a little circular container [will be useful for other things later] that stays shut pretty tight. The Salvia looks like ground up leaves and smells like tea. Its hard to pack a bowl because it sticks to ones fingers, but is not sticky itself. There was some cheaper stuff, but the lady at the head shop said Purple Sticky was generally better quality and much more popular with the people that come in. I bought a gram of 5x to start off small, and then a gram of 20x for when I'm ready to move up. So far, I've smoked it 3 times, the last was my first real trip. 5x hits pretty hard, so I'm excited for 20x. A butane lighter and a water pipe was used every time. [b]The Trip[/b] Took the entire bowl [5x] in one hit, held it in for about 30 seconds, then collapsed onto the couch. One of the people in the room started flailing their arms [not really, apparently] and then they kind of morphed into a house. I then felt like I was laying on railroad tracks, and when I looked up, I saw a freight train [backpack on the far end of the couch]. I started to come back to reality, but had the most intense body high I've ever had. I couldn't move much, and I felt really wet [was completely dry]. Afterward there was a slight buzz that would come in waves, the next one smaller than the last, for about 30 minutes. Thoughts/experiences/advice?

Every time I do salvia I get a wicked body high. It feels familiar every time too. It's strange that you say you felt wet. I've never felt like that, but recently I was with a friend of mine doing salvia, and we take turns doing it to have a sober person around, and she said she felt like she was wet while she was tripping.

Have been reading up on salvia for a while and want to try it. Any advice for first timer?

you're not getting what you're expecting lol

I smoked the same shit as you! I remember i smoked it out of a gravity bong and i just sat down in my chair and i felt like i was being pulled in every direction. I didn't really like trip or see shit. I thought my backyard was a waterfall though (it was raining)

it really is an amazing drug just the dysphoria that comes with it is all to terrible to bear. i'm willing to bet mixing this with coke would be the shit.

anything to negate the negative effects. it really felt like i was dropped in a giant pool of awesome along with every undesirable feeling i've ever had. i'm so scared of dmt lol, first time i do it i'm going all out but with something to pick up my mood and enthusiasm. drugs are great, i can't imagine life without them as a tool at least. they can make something that would normally terrify you and scream till your eyes popped into something that burns a constant picture of contented awe into your face.

Goodluck with that :350:

Everyone can try it, but don't always except the same effects. Most people, especially the inexperienced will never touch it again after the first trip. I gotta find a way to lock out the paranoia it comes with for me. The first time I was fucking scared, my friend told me I even stood up and try to move away from the pipe (maybe I was scared of breaking it? Nonsense...).

Salvia is pretty much something you can't understand until you try it. Try it.

Could not have done it sober.

i remember one time i went to great america on something, lots of it, probably why i can't remember what i did and went on the roller coasters. i'm fuckin terrified of that shit, i'd rather just chill on the ground and not be tossed around. it was really fun lol.

I still have a several-ounce bag of the leaves, I've tried smoking it in varying amounts and even rolling up into a ball and chewing on it for half an hour, got nothing. Anyone know of any other ways?

[QUOTE=KingPurge;17185662]I snorted coke to keep me "calm" when I was doing some terrifying work at night... Could not have done it sober.[/QUOTE] Can I ask what the work was?

[QUOTE=firestorm0;17199190]Can I ask what the work was?[/QUOTE] As strange as it sounds, I was working as a ditch digger in a bad part of town, where the cime is. Pretty fucked up. Night time job only and one of the only times I was actually scared. Cracked out bums and shit and some gangs around.

I smoked some X10 yesterday, felt like a bad marijuana high. Had munchies, but everything i tried eating tasted like ash lol. Will probally mix it with some bud next time.

It's not a party drug, it doesn't get you "high" like other psychoactive drugs. That's why a lot of people say it doesn't work. If you fight it, it'll feel like you're really high for about 30 seconds, and then you'll experience what you described. Of course with higher doses, it would be pretty hard to just shake off. It might help if you smoke a bowl or two of cannabis and wait until it hits you. You'll be in a better state of mind for letting the Salvia work its magic.

[QUOTE=trogdor6666;17179350]I just drove 5 hours round trip to a head shop in Indiana because Ohio has banned Salvia.[/QUOTE] Whoa, what? And here in Europe it's perfectly legal... I did not even know it could be used as a drug! Damn, I have a couple of plants in my garden, should I give it a try?

Probably not salvia [I]divinorum[/I], jimhowl33t. I would just suggest looking it up to make sure it isn't regular salvia.

Just like you need to smoke the THC, you need to smoke salvinorin A. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the only salvia is salvia divinorum. There are a couple different strains, but they all contain salvinorin-A.

Just like you need to smoke the THC, you need to smoke salvinorin A.[/QUOTE] That is a terrible analogy. You don't smoke THC, and you don't smoke Salvinorin-A. The Cannabis leaves contain very little THC. The cannabis buds contain a large concentration of THC. Therefore, smoking the buds produces an effect. Salvia Divinorum leaves contain Salvinorin-A, but not enough to produce the stereotypical Salvia trip when smoked. The original, shamanic use of Salvia Divinorum would be to chew on the leaves for an extended period of time, producing a weaker, but still profound and insightful trip. Many consider the extracts to be disrespectful to the mystical plant.

[QUOTE=Anubis678;17215720] The Cannabis leaves contain very little THC. The cannabis buds contain a large concentration of THC. Therefore, smoking the buds produces an effect.[/QUOTE] That's what I was trying to say. Sorry if my analogy was off. I was simply relating the fact that you need to smoke the buds, to the fact that you need to smoke extract. [QUOTE=Anubis678;17215720]Many consider the extracts to be disrespectful to the mystical plant. [/QUOTE] Never thought of it that way, interesting.

I just felt like being anal :wink: [QUOTE=trogdor6666;17216437]Never thought of it that way, interesting.[/QUOTE] I haven't done Salvia myself (well, I have... but I had no idea what I was doing, and I did it wrong), but I would very much like to try it both ways.

I haven't tried that brand. I've smoked "ecstasy" brand Salvia and it's pretty rough. Although there's a head shop literally next door. I might go buy some of this kind. [editline]06:52PM[/editline] I used to chew the leaves in class for a slight buzz.

[QUOTE=Lolerskins;17209860]This. And where would i find it in australia? Western Australia?[/QUOTE] I don't think you can get it anywhere in WA. I've been asking around all over Perth and can't find any. Not even my hippy friends know where to get it :(

Apparently Australia was the first country to ban salvia. [url=http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/news/salvia_australia.htm]source[/url] Hope you guys can find a dealer. :/ [b]Edit[/b] Apparently [url=http://www.salviasociety.org/]this place[/url] ships worldwide regardless of restrictions. If customs gets it, apparently they just send you a notice saying not to import it.
