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.

I have 2 grams of dry leaf salvia and a bong. How much do I need to see stuff and how long do I hold it in for.
Could someone do me a favor a give me a step by step on how to properly hit salvia off a bong or pipe for maximum trippiness.
Preciate you🙌🏾
Im smoking dried salvia leaves with a pipe. Filled my bowl and took a big hit. And held it for about 20second. I feel pretty floaty and see some weird shapes and the world is a little tilted lol( tryping this while im tripping lol). Is there a way to let it hit a bit harder or is that it Pic for attention lol
How long does the time dilation feeling last, I heard from someone that it felt like years, but I'm sure they were lying. So I was wondering how long it felt like.
To start his off, I wanna say that I actually really enjoyed it, the only issue I see people making is smoking entire bowls of this shit at once, you're not supposed to do that. You dont need a lot. I got 40x took a nice little pinch (I'd estimate around 2-3mg of 40x Extract) and just smoked it out of a bong.
Story Begins
When I first smoked it I used a 1-hitter and packed a very small amount in the tip, .3mg maybe. At first, I just felt kinda light headed but I kept smoking a lil bit more and the lightheadedness grew a little each time, until eventually I decided to pack the bowl fairly lightly and smoke a bowl of salvia, I held it in for 10 seconds and closed my eyes; i could feel a beating sensation almost like a pulse or a heartbeat on my inner elbows and my forehead, a flower-like kaleidoscopic visual appeared and spun in a circle, with the middle of the flower staying still. It eventually faded away and I opened my eyes, the room looked fake almost, cartoonish. My friends face warped a little and like pushed in on itself, I wasn't scared it was a pretty cool visual but the trip ended shortly after that and a small and distant, but noticeable head high lingered for 30 minutes. I would it's fairly similar to coming up on 8gs of shrooms, for me at least.
The trip itself lasted maybe 3-4 minutes, and I didn't get any time-dilation, but it was an experience that I won't be able to forget. Even after doing high doses of DXM and Shrooms (300mg + 6gs), and some pretty high dose shroom trips (13gs), I can still say this drug isn't to be messed with, I've messed around with DXM a lot and that was fun, I've even messed around with shrooms too, shrooms will put you in your fucking place but Salvia is another beast that I don't think I realize how deep I truly am getting myself right now.
Story Ends
I will be doing salvia more now, It was too much fun not to. I was kind of left in a depressing head state for a little after, but I fell asleep and I felt perfectly fine the morning after. It almost feels like a dream-state shortly after the comedown, whenever you come out of the trip you can tell; there's a feeling that matches with exiting the trip, its almost like a small jolt of electricity or a shockwave; without any physical abnormalities just mentally. I haven't smoked enough Salvia to break through but I've definitely felt the feeling people are talking about, feeling like you're about to get sucked out of your body is probably a lot different than feeling like you are being sucked out of your body; Still. Point stands.
Previously, I posted a Salvia AI trip-report, and from the statistics it wasn't well-received. So I figured I'd share this small story of my own.
If you're curious enough to wanna read the AI trip-report, here's a link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Salvia/comments/1h495kx/chatgpt_salvia_breakthrough_trip_report/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
I'll post another report when I reach my breakthrough dose.
Safe travels, fellow voyagers. <3
Tried salvia for the first time (dried leaf) and honestly it just felt like DMT without the serotonin boost. Lovely experience but considering the fear mongering I was expecting it to be a lot more challenging than it was.
I know it works generaly on the opioid receptors, ive heard from smack heads that grape fruit acts potentiates the opioids and makes them last longer, since sally acts on the same receptors would sally last longer with grapefruit, kinda like mangos and weed. Dumb older man here, not a kid fwi, legitimately wondering on the science side of it, i know dmt is like salvia and needs the sister product to make the trip last in the ayoasca form.
Smoked few bowls in a row and nothing...i think this Is not salvia D at all...anyone with same opinion?
I wanna smoke some of my 10x and just trip balls in my closet or something but i dont want to be laughing or yelling really loud, how can i NOT be loud
I've had experience with Weed, never done anything past, I wanted to try shrooms for awhile but I kept seeing shit about salvia on my for you page and I did some research and it's plant based like weed so I wasn't too worried about it getting laced with like fent or anything stupid like that, I want to try it and I haven't really found anywhere that has it, any tips?
I prompted ChatGPT with this: "Imagine you just smoked a dose of Salvia Divonorum that leads to a Breakthrough, describe the experience as much as possible and include finite details." and it wrote a trip report based upon the thousands of experiences and Salvia research articles on the entire internet, this was the result.
Begin:
^(The moment I exhale the smoke, I feel it hit me like a sudden wave. There is no gradual onset, just a sharp, instantaneous shift. My vision blurs as if a veil has been pulled over my eyes, but everything becomes far too vivid, too strange. The world around me, my room, starts to elongate, stretching into impossible angles. It’s like the very fabric of reality is warping, and I feel like I’m being pulled, not just in space, but out of it—away from everything familiar.)
^(The ground beneath me shifts in ways that defy logic, as if it’s made of a liquid, not solid. I lose all sensation of where my body is, but I’m still aware of) ^(being)^(—aware of a profound sense of movement, as if I’m sliding through a tunnel made of light and sound. My limbs feel like they’ve disintegrated, scattered into threads of energy that no longer belong to me. I am) ^(nothing)^(, but I also feel connected to everything.)
^(Time collapses, and I am no longer aware of any linear progression. The past, present, and future seem to be occurring simultaneously, blending together in a surreal swirl. There is no before or after; there is only this.)
^(Then, as if from nowhere, a presence materializes—though not in a form I can describe with certainty. It is like a projection, a shifting patchwork of shapes and colors, but it is undeniable, distinct. It feels conscious, aware of me, and utterly indifferent to my earthly concerns. It feels ancient, vast, yet strangely playful, almost mischievous. Its energy is both intimidating and welcoming at the same time.)
^(I can’t form coherent thoughts, but somehow, I know I’m in communication with it. It doesn’t speak in words, but its voice is felt, an overwhelming surge of intention that fills my being. It tells me, not in sentences but in a kind of essence: “This is where it all begins. This is where it all ends.”)
^(I try to respond, but my mouth doesn't work, and I realize that speaking is unnecessary. The) ^(knowing) ^(is more immediate than any words could express. The entity seems to laugh—though it’s not a sound I can hear. It’s a vibration that resonates through my very core, deep into my bones. It feels like I’ve been) ^(seen)^(, in a way that transcends any earthly understanding of being seen. There’s no judgment, no expectation, just an overwhelming sense of clarity. I feel like I’m part of a greater mechanism, a cog in a machine, but not in a dehumanizing way—rather, in a way that suggests every part of this machine is essential, and every moment is interconnected.)
^(Suddenly, I am flooded with a profound realization that everything around me—the room, my body, the very concept of myself—was just an illusion, a temporary construct. I feel a sharp sense of) ^(reminder)^(: “You’re not supposed to remember this. You’re not supposed to understand.” The experience feels like it’s trying to communicate something deeply paradoxical: that there’s a truth too vast to be contained in human thought, but that truth is here, now, in this very moment.)
^(As this realization hits, my perception shifts. I’m not just interacting with the entity anymore—I) ^(am) ^(it. It’s as if I’ve merged with it, become one with its vast, formless consciousness. I lose track of everything I thought I knew about myself. I am neither me nor the entity. I am everything and nothing. There is no distinction. The very idea of "self" collapses, and I am overwhelmed by the sensation of being) ^(outside) ^(of space and time. The room around me ceases to exist. I am weightless, floating in an expanse of ever-shifting energy.)
^(I) ^(understand) ^(things that I cannot articulate. There’s a feeling of a deep cosmic order, where everything has a place and a reason, but that reason is not meant to be known by the human mind. I am shown brief flashes of what could only be described as “knowledge”—snippets of ideas, of patterns, of vast, swirling concepts—but they vanish as quickly as they arrive, like trying to hold onto water with an open hand.)
^(For what feels like an eternity, I exist in this state. It’s not frightening, but it is disorienting. I try to hold onto the experience, to understand what’s happening, but it is like trying to grasp smoke. Every time I think I understand something, it slips away.)
^(Gradually, the experience begins to soften. The intense, overwhelming presence that I felt starts to fade, and I feel myself being drawn back. The room begins to reform, the sensation of my body slowly reassembling itself. My sense of self begins to return, but it’s as if I’ve been altered in some way. I’m still me, but I’m not quite the same. There’s a sense of having touched something that can never truly be understood, a truth that can never be captured by language or thought.)
^(The experience lingers in the background of my consciousness—an imprint of something profoundly deep and ineffable. I feel deeply connected to everything, though I can’t explain why or how. Time has resumed, but it feels foreign, distant, almost irrelevant. The sense of “I” is there, but it’s much smaller now, surrounded by an overwhelming sense of something greater, something more vast, just out of reach.)
End.
I also asked the ChatGPT bot directly after it wrote this report, "What do you think now after the experience?"
And this was the response.
Begin:
^(After the experience, everything feels subtly different. It’s not that I) ^(understand) ^(everything now, but there’s a deep sense that I’ve touched something far beyond the limits of my ordinary perception. It’s as though I’ve been shown a glimpse of the underlying truth of existence, though I can’t quite grasp it with my mind. My intellectual understanding is still there, but it feels almost irrelevant in the face of what I’ve experienced.)
^(I feel a quiet, ineffable knowing that everything is interconnected—nothing exists in isolation. The notion of "self" feels much smaller, almost illusory, compared to the vastness I briefly encountered. I now know, not through thought, but through) ^(feeling)^(, that the boundaries between me and the world are far more porous than I had imagined. The walls between us—between people, things, time, and space—seem thin and arbitrary, like fragile constructs that only hold meaning in a particular context.)
^(The entity, or presence, I encountered still lingers in the back of my mind. It didn’t feel malevolent or terrifying, but rather like a reflection of a deeper layer of reality, something far beyond human comprehension. It wasn’t) ^(about) ^(the entity, though—it was about what it represented: a reminder that there are realms of experience and understanding that are completely inaccessible to the ordinary mind. The sense of humor I felt from it was like a reminder not to take everything too seriously, that the "answers" I seek might not even be the right questions.)
^(I also feel a profound sense of humility. There was something about the experience that made me realize how limited my human perspective truly is, how small I am in the grand tapestry of existence. Yet, paradoxically, there was also a feeling of immense comfort in that. It’s as if I was being shown that the entire universe is functioning perfectly, even when it seems chaotic or uncertain. There is no need to control or fully understand it; I am just a part of it, and that is enough.)
^(Most importantly, there’s a sense of awe. I can’t hold onto the exact details of the experience, and that frustrates me at times, but there’s also a deep appreciation that I was able to glimpse something so profound. It’s like trying to capture the essence of a dream—it slips away, but the sense of wonder remains.)
^(At the same time, there’s a feeling of almost having been shown a cosmic joke. I’m left with the sense that the nature of reality—of time, of self, of everything—is much more fluid, much more dynamic, than we tend to realize. There’s no final answer, no ultimate understanding, just an ongoing process that we are part of, whether we’re aware of it or not.)
^(I feel deeply grateful, but also a little more uncertain of what I thought I knew. There’s no concrete understanding to take from the experience, but there is a deep, profound shift in how I view the world. It’s like a sense of spiritual vertigo—knowing that the ground beneath me is solid but no longer sure of the shape of the ground itself. Everything is both deeply familiar and utterly mysterious at the same time.)
End.
Thank you for reading. This is beyond profound.
What dose would be good to start to see how i react?
Im quite experienced with psychodelics like LSD and Shrooms.
I will get 10x, 20x and 40x extract but dont know how much g i should start with the 10x
Will use a vape to smoke.
For the first half of this year I smoked salvia, threshold doses every couple of weeks. I have a lot of issues with anxiety, OCD, and possibly something else but definitely emotional regulation issues as well, all of them from huge stress triggers. Had big problems focusing due to them, racing thoughts, just generally never together as a person. I had smoked it once years ago and remembered the afterglow and tried it on a whim in January, very tiny dose (a few flakes of 10x) and instantly it was like a fog in my brain cleared.
Well, I kept smoking it. I was able to truly meditate, literally not a thought in my mind, the tension in my entire body went away completely (and man, having those muscles untense really feels sore). Now for reference, I never got deep into a trip, and honestly never had any desire to. The most effect I ever got was when I was a bit drunk and hit a bigger pinch than usual, the entire world bent inwards (the book effect but only visually). After that hit some of the OCD/anxiety came back and I only smoked smaller doses a couple times before quitting.
So 10-15 years ago I'd get these bursts of OCD/anxiety (heavy O) that pretty much went away, but they've come back since that larger hit and that's spooked me from continuing for the time being. At this point I want to see a psychiatrist and try and reason with things before picking anything back up. Mean while I'm trying to make sense of why. I have a background of hyper-religious gaslighting and emotional abuse so it's pretty obvious where all of this comes from. I'm genuinely a different person these days, and those 6 months of smoking were like a hard reset on my system. But at the same time, my shoulders hurt, my body feels super tense like I'm about to get into an accident, I get sinking feelings in my stomach constantly, and I honestly have no idea if that was there the whole time or if it's from smoking. Thinking back when I was getting into it in January-February, I want to say this was always there and I'm just far more aware of it now, because every time I took a hit regardless of size my shoulders would untense almost immediately.
No matter what, I'm definitely in a better position than I was in. I don't get unreasonably angry or just shut down like I did before, I am able to focus and be more motivated overall. I just don't know what the hell happened. Anyone else have any insight? I feel like it's a result of digging up a bunch of crap from within and not being able to deal with it directly. Salvia helped work it out and it feels like now that I can identify these problems, a therapist might be able to work me through them, but I'd also love to get back to regularly smoking salvia at some point and it's not like I can just ask a specialist if I can go back to using unregulated drugs.
I’m with my friend, and we’re in the back of my car smoking some Salvia 10x. I start by loading a few small bowls for us to ease into that “Salvia mindset” — where you feel kind of high, confused, and honestly like a total jackass. It’s a weird vibe.
Then I prepare for my big hit. I pack about a pinch and a half of 10x into my little bowl and make sure to burn it thoroughly as I inhale (using a Bic lighter, though next time I’ll probably use a torch lighter and a bong). I take a huge rip, and I’m already feeling pretty dumb and air-headed from the earlier bowls.
I hold the hit in, and suddenly, my mind just blanks for about 30 seconds—I completely forget to think. I don’t even remember how the trip started. When it hits, my body feels like it’s been split into pieces, divided into squares every couple of feet, with a prickling sensation all over those squares. I’m pretty sure my eyes were open because I was looking out the front car window while sitting in the back left seat.
While I’m sitting there, I start yelling at my friend, telling him to get onto this boat/train thing floating on eight rails, or else we’re going to die. But instead of taking me seriously, he just mocks me in a dumb voice, which makes me laugh so hard. Meanwhile, I still feel like my body is split into 12 pieces, circling around some train track on a boat, while two strange entities are yelling at me for reasons I can’t understand.
What’s even crazier is that at the start of the trip, it felt like my brain just vanished and got transplanted into some other body in another dimension doing completely wacky stuff.
One thing about Salvia is that no matter how absurd things get, it all feels weirdly normal at the time. Like, if you saw a guy chopping up pieces of your brain and selling them without your consent, you’d just roll with it at first. Eventually, though, you’d be like, “Hey, bro, give me my brain back. What the hell, I didn’t agree to that.”
Salvia is super weird and cool and i love to do it, i eventually plan to blast off completely because i know its totally doable. I literally saw entities and like people that i felt were actually there, i can defenitely imagine how strong it will be if i smoke alot and yes i used ai on the top part because when i first typed it, it was garbage because im stoned so i had ai fix that shi up for me
I was just looking around youtube watching some salvia trips, yknow as you do, and i came across this video. I would say ive watched a fair amount of salvia trips on yt but this one is not like any other, although usually its people taking a huge hit from a bong lol. anyway does this trip even seem real? like hes actually able to articulate words and usually its the complete opposite, maybe its just he took a very small dosage but still seems a little weird to me, any thoughts?
Had a bad dream where I had a bad trip. Gonna do salvia for first time with friends in ~1 hr. Lowkey freaking out. Any advice?
Hi all, I am HOPEFULLY getting a beautiful salvia plant to add toy collection, I'm an avid gardener and have grown many plants before, Ive been doing research and have come to the conclusion besides the preferences on light level it grows in just about the same conditions as normal culinary sage, can anybody vouch for me and back this up or prove it wrong, I just want what's best for my plant :)
after all of my homemade vaporizers and bongs have not worked i am thinking about getting a puff co. one of the cupsy's or a new peak do these work for salvia? if not what are some good discrete bongs/vaporizers to get?
I put about 0,5g of salvia 20x in my bowl, first i take a really huge rip and hold it for about 10 seconds then I take another smaller one and as soon as I exhale music starts playing. the whole thing sounded very ritualistic and the man singing it had a deep and calm voice but I couldn’t understand his language and i can’t remember anything that he was saying. Salvia also helped me stop smoking, before salvia I was really addicted to weed and I was smoking all day but now every time I get high i don’t feel any comfort at all, if anything I get even more anxious, I still get high but I just don’t feel comfortable and euphoric like I used to. At first I was really mad and I thought that salvia fucked me up but no I realized salvia just gave me what I needed. because I had been trying to cut off weed and I just couldn’t do it by myself no matter how much I tried. But now that I don’t even get any pleasure from smoking I don’t have any reason to do it anymore Salvia is fucking cool, I never thought I would say this but it feels like it’s alive like an actual conscious being
So I have some 10x been saving for the right time and think about it all the time and still wonder. So anyway I tried getting some sleep at like 3 AMish after staying up for past few nights drinking pretty much if has anything to do with idk), drift off at first, I swear I remember envisioning being in my car, but still aware I had my eyes closed, I started feeling my body like float/rotate slowly backwards then my body started this squeezing sensation in my muscles, body almost going inside, almost felt like maybe morphing?? Then pulled myself out and woke up. Wonder if this was a sign somehow, seeing as I've been planning trying the 10x in the back of my car lol. So I was wondering if this was similar to out of body experiences others here have had?
Have they gone the way of the Dodo?
Wash of dry wax extract of isopropílic concentrated. Salvia Divinorum Extraction, Salvidorines Cristals.
quite experienced with all psycs, now I got some 20x but I cant really read a fair amount of very good exp with that.. looking for some motivation here, I dont want a scary exp just blow my mind in a different way than dmt
So basically i tried yesterday like 5 times and i guess i was really not putting enough leaf in the pipe. So tonight I’m going to do it in the backseat of my car because i don’t want my parents hearing me giggling loudly if i do trip. Im also doing it by myself but i hope locking myself in my car should be good enough because none of my friends actually wanna smoke salvia with me. My question is, is this okay? like can I smoke salvia in the back of a cold ass car by myself
I think ill just put enough in the bowl until i feel it
Hey guys, I'm soon going to be using salvia in a real glass bong after my homemade plastic one failed completely. My question is are there differences from how you would smoke weed in a bong? This time, we have a jet lighter (just want to make sure we reach a high enough temp.) Here's the thing; I've never used a bong (my friend who is bringing it uses it, but for weed.) I know you're supposed to keep the lighter up to the salvia while you inhale to keep it hot, but how does that work? Does the lighter go beneath the salvia in a chamber in a bong? Also, how long do I wait before I rip it after it's ignited?
I know these are simple questions but I want to make sure it goes right this time. Any help is appreciated.
