How are you guys able to handle that? It sounds terrifying to me idk if I could fathom that.

Hi all,

Just wanted to share a trip report of smoking dried salvia leaves as a total newbie to Salvia. Not using any extracts, just the leaves.

I've good experience with psilocybin mushrooms and high THC cannabis. But i've only just found a source for Salvia .

Used a bong,. I filled a bowl of grounded dried salvia divinorum leaves and then lit with a butane lighter whilst slowly inhaling. Held for as long as i coud. Did a couple of hits, as I probably didnt do the best hits. Damn this stuff is smokey compared to hash. As in really thick and dense . I'm not the best smoker in the world and holding is tough.

But i did enough. Because within less than a minute, I felt high. Like really high! As if i'd just done a heap of cannabis.

I was actually surprised just how well this hit. From what people were saying, it was generally mild effects from Salvia leaves and you'd need the extracts for the good stuff.

Well if mild effects are a strong high then i can only imagine what the extracts would do!

People say that smoking Salvia is very different to cannabis. But honestly it didn’t feel like that for me, at least not this time.  I had the high feelings, body disassociation, where you feel like youre melting into something or feeling like youre accelerating through something, feeling pressure or weight.  You know its not really pressure of weight. Its like a feeling of it, but you know you’re not being pinned down by something and can easily just over power it. Those feelings come on when you sit and relax. I was getting a dry mouth that’s for sure a lot so was needing to sip water.  

I wasn’t getting so many visuals, got way more with magic mushrooms. There was some movement of stuff, and I was seeing / perceiving colours around stuff or in place of stuff if I moved my head quickly.   I felt very wobbly at one point, like all of me wobbly.  Had some closed eye visuals, again not as intense as with magic mushrooms.  

My head space was expanded.. that’s only how I can describe it.  Sound sounded different, more spacey, nicer! Similar to mushrooms and being high on thc.   Had a bit of a sense of things not being real and a bit of observer effect where I am me but not.   Nothing hugely profound.  I did not feel anything spiritual. Less introspective than on mushrooms.

Although it felt like a regular high. It did have a slightly different feel to it. Like I was aware this had come from somewhere else, a different flavour so to speak.   I did notice increased heart rate, My nose felt a bit blocked at times too.  I was coughing a bit but that was hitting the bong a bit too hard!

 I was also under the impression that a Salvia high is only 30 minutes... Try 2 hours! OK most intense side was the first hour, and then it was a come down after that. But I would say it was closer to two hours before feeling relativly normal again.

So there we go? How does that stack up to other peoples experience on leaves only?

One thing that has blown my mind on more of a logistical side of thing. If someone is looking just to get high, then Salvia has to be the cheapest way to do it. I got a lot of leaves for next to nothing and putting a small amount in a bowl and getting that kind of high.. just wow. Like i have enough leaves to do this hundreds of times. (not that i will)

Also how long will leaves last if i leave them in a vacuum sealed mason jar in a cool dark place or vacuum sealed food storage bags?

Has anyone tried this combination yet? I'm curious about the experience, I plan to do the test on Wednesday, are there any risks in this mixture?

Have you ever felt an uncanny sense of familiarity—like you’ve been somewhere before, even when you haven’t? Maybe during a psychedelic experience, a special place, or an unforgettable moment?

Your insights could help us uncover new dimensions of memory, déjà vu, and perception. If you’ve had an experience like this, we’d love to hear from you.

So I tried Salvia for the first time after doing much research on the topic. Since I do have access to a vendor that provides a variety of strengths, I went with 20x for the reason that it seemed to be the best value offer considering that, although I wanted to start slowly to get a feeling for the effects, I did (and still do) intend to make the full Salvia experience. I would consider myself a somewhat experienced psychonaut who has had many experiences with several substances and psychedelics in the past. So I packed a small bowl (pipe), my trip sitter started his stopwatch. I took a hit, waited for about 20 seconds, exhaled, and waited for the effects to kick in. To my surprise, nothing happened. I waited for about five minutes and took another, slightly bigger hit, this time from a bong (my pipe has these charcoal filters, they work fine for weed but I thought maybe they filter salvinorine??). Same procedure. This time, I did feel a slight effect. I experienced the "salvia gravity". My face, or more precisely the tip of my nose, seemed to be pulled towards a center of gravity that was my lava lamp. This feeling was accompanied by some vertigo, a feeling I only ever experienced with Ketamine. I think it was somewhat unpleasant, but bearable. The effect did also evoke some weird thoughts, but all in all the experience wasn't much more impressive than a weird weed trip. However, it did not last very long. I repeated the procedure (take a hit, sit and wait) two more times, all with similar results. That was disappointing. When I went to bed somewhat later, it was quite hard for me to fall asleep. I got a quite strong headache and every time I started to fall asleep I had these crazy visions like in a fever dream. It reminded me of that one time I tried to go to sleep coming down from an acid trip. I cannot put my finger on what really bothers me, but I just won't find any peace. Long story short, it was a rough and rather unpleasant night, but I did catch a few hours of sleep eventually.

What did I do wrong?

Did I have wrong expectations for what the trip would be like?

When going for 20x Salvia, I thought this might be too much for my first time. Was it too weak?

It reminds me a bit of my first time trying weed. I was 14 years old when I puffed some weed for the first time. (doing weed at age 14 is a terrible idea kids, don't be stupid like me please!) At that time, I didn't feel any effects tho and neglected the stuff until I was 17 (still too young tho!!). At age 17, I smoked with a friend who had not tried weed before. While he didn't have any effects, I went through my first fully grown drug trip, with lizards crawling up my walls and people stabbing me with knifes and shit. It was quite the experience tho. At the time, I did a bit of research and some other friends I talked to about it told me that it was a quite common thing that doing weed for the first time won't have an effect since the receptors in your brain have to be activated first. (Obviously I don't have any idea what I am talking about here, I am not a neuroscientist and neither were my friends). But, if this is true, could this be the reason for my rather disappointing first Salvia experience? Have you experienced similar things?

Would love to get some answers to these questions.

Peace and Love

So, I've tried at least 2-3 times now with Sally, and still have not had a breakthrough. I tried with a couple pipes. Should I be using something like a gravity bong maybe? I can't really get high much on cannabis smoking it, except for using a gravity bong. And that's way more effective, so I'm thinking that might make it better for trying to breakthrough on Sally.

Hello everyone
I have done salvia 4 times (2 times 10x and 2 times 20x) I didn't got any bad trip, negative thoughts afterwards, on the contrary : I always got that "childhood home vibe" I really feel great, it makes me almost nostalgic after every trip I don't know else how to explain.
On every of my trip I feel the presence of others entities around me and it is always the same group of entities and my relationship with this group of people increase each time I take salvia, I integrate their group for the time I'm high, I understand their language and their humour.
That's about what I can describe of my trips with words, about my relation with this substance..
By that I would love to know if I can affect my future trips with my environement like watching a video, listening to music or is it independant of my consciousness ? And if anyone share my feeling with the salvia about the people etc ?

Edit : If I have to be more precise about my trip, I feel the "childhood home vibe" in the end of the effects, on the peaks of my effect I feel like I am in the Interstellar's library, I see stars and visions appears in front of me like I am in spectator mode, I can't interact mostly with anything..

(sorry for my bad english)

Is it safe to quid if i have stomach problems?

I've seen mixed opinions on rolling up with salvia so I decided to experiment for myself, I rolled a blunt with mostly plain leaf salvia and some weed, then I put the blunt in a bowl with weed to be smoked through my bong. I'm a daily weed smoker so I can tell if the effects were just from weed or not. I lit it with a torch lighter holding in each hit, I could feel the weird salvia sensation in my body and felt more dissociated. It seemed like the weed and tobacco were potentiating the salvia in some way and the thoughts I was having were strange, my thinking pattern didnt feel normal. After the salvia feeling wore off the high from the weed seemed more extreme than usual off of this amount of weed for me. It was worth experimenting with but I probably won't do it again because I prefer having a full on trip.

With every other psychedelic ive had bad trips. Never salvia , its always good

Never smoked anything before. Gotten super high off weed edible gummies tho but that’s it!

Looking forward to traveling dimensions on salvia!

So my dried salvia leaves came in the mail the other day and I decided to quid a tiny tiny amount for 15 minutes and didn’t feel or see anything so I put this much in a bowl. Compare it to the size of an Apple Remote. Anyway I chewed on all of this for 15 minutes and swished it around my mouth, accidentally swallowed some spit but didn’t feel a single thing or see anything. Why? How much do you have to chew to at least feel something?

My dry leaves came in the mail yesterday and I was wondering, since they are dry leaves, can I quid them dry? Or should I soak them in warm water first?

Two what would happen if I swallow on accident while quidding? Is it safe to swallow and ingest salvia spit? What about accidentally swallowing a salvia leaf itself? What would happen?

Recwntly repotted my plant in fresh soil couple weeks ago and Just seen a whole bunch of shoots coming put soil under my plant, is this seedlings(🤞🤞) or just some weeds ?

Or does it have to be a bong hit? Feel like I can never do it right with the bong

Any tips on how to take this I've done shrooms and acid

About 8 years ago I tried smoking a small amount of salvia with friends and my brother but I didn't really think much of it. Felt a bit euphoric and scary and also as if I was being pulled back into the chair I was sitting in for a while. The friend who's house I was at had given me some salvia to take home with me. We hung out for a while and eventually I smoked some weed and ate some food and went home with my brother and my friend. My brother had fallen asleep in his room (adjacent to mine) and my buddy had fallen asleep in the chair next to my bed. I wasn't able to sleep and had smoked all of my weed so I thought I'd smoke some of the leftover salvia to maybe drain my energy and hopefully fall asleep. It was pitch black in my room and dead silent, probably about 3am. I took a big pull of the salvia out of my bubbler and right as I put down the pipe and lighter things got fuzzy and I was looking at myself from third person perspective as if I was above my sleeping friend's head. I saw everything that was actually there, my bubbler, my lighter my sheetless mattress. I watched in awe as my three dimensional room turned into a two dimensional image for lack of a better word. It was flat. Multiple other two dimensional images of my room whirred past my view as if someone was paging through a book. I got the impression that these images were all different but the recording of my memory of it all was fading while it was all happening and eventually I blacked out and have no recollection what was happening after as if there was a gap in my memory between the whole thing with the pages and what happened next.

What happened next I still struggle to explain. I felt a warm embrace as if there were a motherly figure holding me. I felt like a baby of sorts. Such a strong feeling of being loved. Made me feel small yet still significant. There seemed to be nothing around, but a void with small white lights that I assumed to be stars. Me and this woman started to accelerate and I started to scream. She hadn't yet spoken to or shown herself to me but somehow I knew there was a woman with me. As I got scared I screamed "where are you taking me?!" "Put me back in my body!" "Who are you and what do you want" | was begging at this point and she finally spoke, "you need to see this" she said and my eyes filled with tears. I was so scared I told her no and demanded to return to my body. The next thing I remember I was back. I looked to my friend who was STILL ASLEEP IN THE CHAIR and screamed at him “Why didn’t you help me” he looked confused and I said “didn’t you hear me screaming?” He replied “no dude I was sleeping and didn’t hear a thing” I was sure nobody could sleep through that shit. The next day I asked my brother who was, again, (I assume he was sleeping but am not entirely sure) in the room adjacent to mine if he had heard me screaming and neither did he. I was baffled.

I didn’t know that I could even hallucinate so dramatically on the stuff. I did literally no research on the drug before using it which was typical for me as a teen. I had no idea what to expect, I just trusted my friend’s guidance because he had done salvia many times.

The day after the trip I went down the rabbit hole of the spirituality and history of salvia and learned that many other people have had extremely similar experiences to mine. I also learned that the spirit that is supposedly connected to salvia is “shy or timid” which explains why I didn’t hallucinate much the first time compared to the time I smoked it in the quiet darkness. I still think about this experience all of the time. I wonder what would have happened if I didn’t beg her to take me back. I haven’t tried smoking it again since then. Wonder if I should.

So I asked about quidding and got some good advice, but now I'm thinking should I quid or should I smoke? 10g dry leaves, 2g for quidding which would be 4 big leaves, don't know recommended dose for smoking. I have a small unused tobacco pipe and a candle lighter

I've done salvia my fair share of times, some rips of 20x here and there. I'm able to get my hands on some ketamine and I'm wondering if it's somewhat similar to low doses of salvia since they are both dissos. I've heard similar things online about the feelings you can achieve while high. For example I merged/almost completely turned into the chair I was sitting in last night while on salvia. ( and sorry for ketamine based question, wasn't able to post on r/ketamine for some reason)

It is an extremely strange vibe, I just had a king size cone or XL bonza and held it until I could barely hold and let out a repressed exhale after roughly 20-40 seconds.

It's egotistical antagonism is most noticeable for myself at the lowest dose or threshold, which is odd as most psychedelics attack your ego during a peak or over dosage (maybe it does this because salvia flows through and blocks different receptors... In addition;the short half-life could have you peak almost instantly and the rest is a come down.

Not too sure, my brain feels like a mini city play mat most days, when I have sage it's like I can literally take a step back and be quite as my frequencies and organs do their things.

The best part is it's not like I move away and lock myself into a box, where I have no control; as I watch the trip play out.

It makes me become the experience, if that makes much sense.
