A place to discuss Salvia divinorum, a psychoactive plant containing the potent psychedelic Salvinorin A, used traditionally by Mazatec shamans in shamanic and spiritual rituals. The safe and responsible use of this plant is highly encouraged, as Salvinorin A is the most powerful naturally-found hallucinogen.

A place to discuss Salvia divinorum - a psychoactive plant - commonly known solely as Salvia. When ingested using various possible methods including smoking and quid chewing, the user can expect to experience strong effects such as uncontrollable laughter, sensations of unusual motion, hallucinogenic shapes and overlapping realities.
Salvia has so far not been found to possess any addictive properties. This is probably because Salvia, uniquely for a psychedelic, activates the kappa-opioid receptor (associated with the regulation of addiction). Salvia does not activate the typical 5-HT receptors activated by the classic psychedelics (such as LSD) .
Despite Salvia's long history of traditional use, low toxicity and low addictive potential, it is illegal in many countries and states. Always be aware of your local laws.
DISCLAIMER - please do not post threads asking where to buy Salvia, even if it is legal in your country/state. Google is your friend!

I seem to have developed a tolerance, aside from a few days recently when I was sick I smoked salvia daily for the past 40+ days but can now report it is much harder to break through and there has been a change in subreakthrough effects as well.
I used to breakthrough easily on 80 milligram of 20X but just tested myself by smoking a smaller dose (40mg) and holding it in for ages and then smoking a breakthrough dose of 80 milligram.
I did not break through but entered a trance like state- I thought I would make this post as it does appear contrary to others experiences it is possible to gain some sort of tolerance.
I am on no other medication aside from weed, I took 10mg of valium some days ago but observed this tolerance issue prior and I do not think it has had any impact.
I use a bong and jet lighter.
I can test stronger extract but may test abstaining which will be unfortunate as salvia is really great beyond tripping.
I did experience what appeared to be a reverse tolerance at first.
Yall remember that game geometry dash, yeah well just found a song from that game (stereo madness). Whoa.
Preparing for my first experience, I'm starting with 10× exstract. I'm quiet familiar with psychedelics, like shrooms, and ACO. Butttt I know this is nothing like either of those. Ive been learning about it for awhile but I have some questions.
(Using a salvia vape) I’ve tried vaping salvia a few times but didn’t break through I think
I feel like every time I get a salvia flashback I freak out for half a second and then my brain removes my ability to remember it. Like if I see an accurate salvia replication it will crazy startle me but if I look at it for a second or third time I don't really remember how it reminded me of salvia. Anyone else get this? My wife seems to think I have some sort of trauma with salvia which I lowkey see because shit FREAKS ME OUT. I feel panic and fear and it's like I'm back there and then it's gone. It doesn't happen all the time but def 60% or more. When I'm on dissos tho I can remember salvia stuff without freaking out. I don't really mind it because salvia flashbacks don't come often and it truly is gone in half a second
Just a quick question, I often get intrusive thoughts and most of the time I deal with them by distracting myself, but before I start salvia I'd need tips on how to get rid of them and if that's gonna affect my experience? Thanks
Hello, I had many experiences with Salvia and recently tried DMT and I can tell, I had pretty similar experiences. What do you think, are they connected somehow? Or do you disagree and experience widely different things? Thanks for your responses, looking forward to the discussion!
Whenever i take small hits I just law down and i hear this wowowowowowo in my ears and I just lay in my bed and look at my wall and I feel like a different type of warmth/opi numbness/ in each small like fragmented part of my body. It isn’t a whole feeling like mu agonists. Sub trip doses, sometimes i get instances where my entire vision looses all depth perception for a bit as well. Anyone else?
So I have heard that salvia doesn’t feel good or that it is at least 90% of the time unpleasant EVEN if you do not have a bad trip. This is definitely possible because it’s crazy strong and it’s all about the visuals like I am thinking that it won’t feel pleasant like pot but that the visuals would be amazing. So my question is, for those of you who have tried it tell me honestly does it feel uncomfortable or bad? Let me be more specific, will it produce dopamine or some sort of similar pleasant feeling?
Hello, I recently made a salvia tincture (2 grams inside 50ml of 45% vodka, basically a tincture) I've been lurking here alot and I wish to use it for a spiritual purposes. I deeply fear having a bad trip, I'm definitely used to other herbs such as Calea Zacatechichi or Huperzine A which enhance your brain and make you lucid dream (or astral project) rather easily. I do want to do both awake and asleep to see what it does, but I've read about the salvia deity (Sally if I recall her name correctly). I do not want to seem disrespectful to her at all. How do I show my respect? Also, I never tried any psychedelics before, I'm 21, my bedroom have pets and I have a bunk bed (I have no sitter as well..). I do have the option of an empty room in my house to sleep in, without pets and a bed closer to the ground (also empty since the person moved out.) please any tips or advice or whatever I might feel would be greatly appreciated. (P.s I'm also a reality shifter so I'm used to wacky feelings or seeing weird ass stuff, just never wide awake you get me?) Thanks!!!
Hey guys, after many attempts to feel anything other than some slight weed high and calmness. I finally felt Salvia for real this time.
I jotted down what it was like in the notes but I'll try and explain slightly deeper.
Before this experience I was HARDLY getting threshold effects , if any. I would put my experience in the threshold range but absolutely teetering on the mild range. I think one more fat rip would have sent me. But honestly it was a little terrifying lol.
I quickly assured myself as it was hitting that it wouldn't last that long and honestly narrated how I felt to my brother who was watching over me..
It's so silly , I smoked salvia, shit a few big ass rips and didn't feel much , but then I vaped some weed on top of that and decided to back to the salvia. Boom, finally feel it.
My brother wrote down I felt it at 6:52 pm and I was already slowly coming down probably by 6:54. With a lingering wow sensation for the next 5-10 minutes.
Even now almost an hour later it still kind of feels like it just happened AND , I think it made the weed high slightly trippier.
Advice for plain leaf : Don't be discouraged by low and slow.. especially if it's your first time. I don't think you realize how strong this stuff is. ( If it's your first time. )
I say this Because I built a misconception that it wasn't really working.. I vaped multiple bowls yesterday and felt nothing really. I smoked multiple bowls ( with torch )
This morning and didn't feel much.. ( I think I wasn't holding it long enough.
Welp, tbh idk if I'll be doing that again for a bit That was fucking intense and I didn't even get visuals 🤣..
Salvia don't play ▶️
P.s I woulda used the first time tag but yesterday was my first time ( and felt basically nothing )
D any reputable websites to buy (UK DOMESTIC/ SHIPPINGS ONLY) 📨 ABSOLUTELY NO DMsTRYNA VEND ON TELE 🚫
edit: frick i just read that sometimes the first dose nothing happens, i may have wasted a gram of 80x
i realized while typing this that i got the conversions wrong while smoking and instead of 25 mg, i took 250 (twice).
i have basically no experience with drugs, i smoked boof one time in my dorm and thats it. i bought 80x saliva for my first time cause i was feeling a little zesty. i smoked it out of a bong and everything went perfectly according to plan, i turned 1 bowl containing ~0.25g to dust with a butane lighter, held the smoke in and then exhaled.
now i knew i was in for something diabolical as i read on a salvia dose spreadsheet i found on reddit that 10 mg is a freaky dose already, and i wanted to take 25, but since im completely retarded i accidentally took 250mg. as soon as i exhaled, i went to lay in bed, and and after maybe a minute i started feeling dizzy and lightheaded and my heart was pounding through my chest in anticipation, i thought to myself "holy canole!! its happening!!!" and then it just stopped. after about 20 minutes, i took the exact same colossal hit from the bong as the first time, but this time out of a different bag of 80x, and the same thing happened again, but i felt a little dizzier, then it wore off.
then i though something was wrong with my smoking technique so i chewed the remaining 0.5g for like 30 minutes, making sure to let it soak into my mouth as salvia doesn't absorb in the stomach, but once again, nothing happened. im doing everything the reddit stoners say, but not getting any effect.
at least i think im not getting any effect, i haven't forgot the possibility that it really did start when i got dizzy the first time and i am currently living in a tweak simulation, and i am quite terrified of that possibility, but just incase i just got some strange glitch, or my salvia was trash, please tell me what could have happened.
bought from the Netherlands and shipped to Bulgaria so maybe customs switched it out for seagrass or something but idk, it looked just like the little black leaves, same as the pictures ive seen.
TL;DR i smoked and chewed alot of strong salvia and either nothing happened or im inside a tweak right now.
So last night I was smoking some 20x, and I was pretty close to a breakthrough. The problem is my past experiences resembling any sort of 'breakthrough' always leads me to coming back to a fucking mess
I've had some experience with these states on ket and shrooms, but my body always does something crazy while I'm gone lol. In the past for heroic trips I DISTINCTLY set an intention to stay in bed with a eye mask, but when I get sobered up, I always come back to a room that resembles a movie depiction of some deranged maniac, 😂 my full-body mirror was knocked over on the ground, the entire floor was littered with books and sheet music, and the piano had fingerprints and powder all over the keys lol
So last night on salvia, when I was pretty close to the threshold, I JUST ONLY realized that I was still holding my bong in one hand a blower torch in the other 😓 sorta noped outta that one.
Ive read that for breakthroughs some people tie themselves to their bed with ... bondage restraints (lol). I thought this was a joke at first but I am seriously considering it. Though I'm not sure how the logistics would work for something as fast acting as smoked extract. Can anyone who has (safely) broken through please enlighten me? 🙏
The world got hit by a nuke when I was watching big Les and smoking salvia Lez show dude came out of the TV and told told me that and we all died and it happens when you watch bit Les show and do salvia I was sitting in a chair with someone I didn’t recognize it turned out to be my Dad I looked around because I I was still in my room watching the TV and what was happening on the tv was happening actually and so was what was being told like the earth was ending but it was like the dude on the tv was my soul and that was my dads soul on the tv and I got to see his slice of heaven so I have closure for me personally about my dad and that and I’m in heaven as long as I don’t purposely try to wake people I live w
Starting on my salvia journey, I've done three low dose experiences in the past 3ish days. One thing I've noticed is that they all seem a very comfortable type of clinical or monolithic. Like for example, the one I'm coming down from now felt like I was in some sort of lab type environment and the white light coming from my heating unit that hangs towards the ceiling was the eye of a very comforting robot keeping watch over me. The time before that I was something like a stone wall overlooking the ocean in a very comfortable monolithic (stoic?) way.
I only ask because this seems to contradict a lot of posts I read here that describe even low doses like mine as something like chaotic or carnival-y.
I think we can all say that salvia gives very vivid dreams. So now the question becomes, is salvia microdosing a good idea for those who wanna lucid dream? Would it have any major negative effects? And lastly would chewing salvia be better for this purpose than smoking it!
The last few day’s I’ve taken salvia like 3 times somewhat properly. These 3 times have been great for understanding the drug, I’ve learned many things like how taste is a huge factor in how salvia feels. That being said I’m yet to properly trip on this stuff. All my trips have been on small amounts of 5x extracts, each time it was enough to feel out of this world for some time, but no trip has felt longer than 30 seconds, and none of those were longer than 2 minutes in real time.
The first time I took it I was quite scared but over time I’ve learned that the pain I originally felt was not actually painful, infact it was the taste of the salvia. I’m slowly sidetracking into a trip report here but salvia is weird. Each time I take it reality turns into frames, like from a stop motion movie, and these frames are made of tiny people, and I turn into them. The salvia taste influences how it feels, salvia has a sharp flavor, so the trip feels like when your limb falls asleep but x100.
Overall I’ve gotten used to the feeling, it’s no longer too scary, but I want to have a actual good trip on this stuff. I wanna go beyond the barrier of knowing I’m still here, beyond the barrier of music sounding normal. In the end though I’m somewhat terrified. I’m scared that I’ll be unprepared for how it feels and that I’ll panic.
What could I do to get over this fear? And another small problem is that my small pipe makes it a little hard to smoke this stuff properly, is it true that a bong is easier and softer to breath in? Thanks for all the help!
Got these afew days ago from a smart shop in Amsterdam, I have taken some fairly high doses of mushrooms and taken lsd maybe 20-30 times but I have never tried salvia. I was looking for some advice on these thanks.
I've realised I can handle salvia a lot better than I can DMT. I love both drugs, and have had incredible and profound experiences on both. But DMT is the one that's given me more discomfort or negative feelings overall, even at low doses. I have to be in just the right mood for DMT, and find that I never feel like blasting off from sober, only ever when I'm on another psychedelic.
Whereas last night I stuck on some chill music and some incense and built my way up through a few doses of 30x salvia, and it was a lovely time! I felt welcomed and accepted by mother sage from the first hit. In fact I was nervous and my heart was racing before the first hit, because I hadn't done it in a while, then when I smoked it and started to feel it, I immediately felt calmer and my heart rate slowed, and I felt invited to do more. Anyone else feel the same?
I don’t know where to even begin, I wanted to do acid but this will suffice. Where can I buy it safely and which if any products do I need to smoke it properly?
Thanks guys :)
I recently gave an educational lecture about using low doses of Salvia combined with somatic therapy. Wonderful turnout and a great venue called District216. More information about Salvia therapy can be seen at www.salviahealings.com
I'm on a low dose of 30x right now, first time in over two years - isn't it weird how you sort of forget what it feels like, then when you smoke it again it's like "oh yeah, this" 😂 like it's very mild but I can feel the vibe and remember the headspace of it a lot better now. It's really quite calm and pleasant at this low level. That was about 12mg who dares me to do more 😂
Does anybody else here feel "accepted"? I have seen so many awful trips online, and read so many bad experiences. So many people say things like salvia is a cruel careless drug and that its scary and awful but I just have such an opposite experience. Compared to other psychedelics, it literally feels like I CANT have a bad salvia trip. It's just always so whacky and I laugh so ridiculously hard I do not even understand how that trip could possibly become bad, and I have chiefed entire .3 gram bowls of 20x plenty of times. On pretty much any other typical psychedelic I get intense anxiety and feel great intimidation before going into it. With DMT I have to be prepared, courageous, and even still there remains hesitation and intimidation, the moment has to be right and pre flight anxiety is super strong. With Salvia I do NOT get this at all. I feel like I could casually just smoke a bowl of salvia right now as casually as I would smoke a bowl of weed, zero fear whatsoever. Zero intimidation or anxiety or worry of having a bad trip. I've never even had a bad trip on DMT, yet it intimidates me so much more than Salvia. But my Salvia trips have been a comparably strong, potentially even stronger experience. It is kind of fascinating to me.
