Anyone out there have practical experience with Salvia Divinorum?

Question

(i'd like to "debunk" any myths associated with it. please don't tell me this isn't a very practical way of doing it or the appropriate forum; I'm just looking for some food for thought. thanks.)

Answer 1

all i can say is no matter how much you read about salvia and salvia trips you will never truly know what it is like until trying.  just be sure you are in a relaxed spot with a sitter to protect you from hurting yourself.  check out thesalviastore.co.nr for some of the best and least expensive salvia available on the internet.

It is very different from other drugs, especially marijuana (which is what people like to compare it to for reference)

It is very quickly absorbed into the body and you will often feel the effects within 10 seconds of smoking it. The effects are very intense if you take a big hit and will cause you to lose touch with reality.

you can think you are somewhere you are not and the things you look at may seem like things which they are not. one time i was looking at tiles on the floor and i thought that they were the most important things in the world, more important than life itself. another time, i was staring at my friends shirt and was looking through it and it seemed like the wrinkles were buildings and cars where i was raised. it can also sometimes be very very scary like a more intense nightmare. (example: friends have honestly bugged out because they thought they were being buried or in a hole not able to escape.

you can not do anything if you are experiencing the intense high. when high or drunk, you can still play video games or play cards or whatever but with this, it is very difficult because your surroundings are gone. my friend set up a game of halo, everything was already set up and he was already in a server and he was going to try to play but when he took the hit and picked up the controller, 5 seconds later, he dropped it and fell on the floor. this is not something you would worry about someone taking and then trying to drive..trust me they wont nor will they be able to.

If you take a small it, you will usually only feel the physical effects which can feel like something poking or touching you. once, it felt as if there was just alot of tape all over my body constantly being pulled off. (it didnt hurt, just felt like weak tape being pulled off)

the effects (the intense part anyways) stops within 15 minutes usually and while it still effects you for up to an hour. its still hard to talk and form sentences for a while after the main part is over. after the intense part, you can feel refreshed.

WOW that was long. anyways hope it was helpful.

Because Salvia alters perception and behavior, it should never be used in public. Make sure that a sober "sitter" is there to insure a safe and comfortable experience. When smoked, the effects of Salvia are felt quickly, in less than one minute. When chewed, the first effects are felt after about 15 minutes. After about 30 minutes, the full effects should be realized. Typical Salvia experiences last 5 to 10 minutes on average, with noticeable after-effects lasting up to 1/2 hour. The only reported hangover symptoms from an experience are mild headaches. Sweating during the experience is also commonly reported. If smoked, it is likely to irritate one’s lungs; although Salvia’s smoke is mild when compared to that of tobacco.
