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.

We strictly follow and stand by Harm Reduction - [https://harmreduction.org/about-us/principles-of-harm-reduction/]

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!

Would anyone be interested in participating in a do-salvia-everyday challenge

Where the challenge is just to take it every day. Any dosage you like. We can keep a running list somewhere of interesting things you can do on salvia. Watch YouTube on salvia, eat spicy food on salvia, do laundry on salvia, ect. Post trip reports if you'd like, and in your trip report title add what day you're on.

I'm thinking its not just me that has the issue of wanting-to-want to take it every day but cant seem to muster the strength. The more I take, the larger the positive impact it has on me, but then comes the next day and an inverse response seems to have been recorded in the decision making part of my brain and I really don't want to dose again. Daily exploration seems to be the way to go for understanding.

Flare related

sorry for posting while high

did 2 hits of 5x extract in a bottle bong, don’t think I did more than maybe .15 grams

the come up was like mega weed without the brain fog, then the peak was these two animatronic bears on either side of my vision and when I closed my eyes I could see an infinite circus mountain land

there was a force keeping my chin up high and I couldn’t go to my living room because there was a bubble wall there that I could feel and see at the same time

My hearing was looping really strongly, it sounded like music for a bit but then it started to just sound kinda weird

the food i had with me (pic rel) tasted fucking amazing while I was high, unfortunately i did text random crazy shit to half my contacts though

i don’t think I’m gonna try a full breakthrough for a while, I’ll probably finish all my 5x and then just switch to 10x, maybe even mix them together to build it up idk

Can you breakthrough with quidding?

Many people describe it as a completely different experience than smoking, claiming that it is more pleasant and mild, and I just wanna know if it can cause a breakthrough or if it's limited to close eyed effects. Just wondering cos ima buy some leaf these days

need some knowledge of you guys

Need some knowledge - internet is not giving me enough good information maybe someone can help.

I am curious about an extract form I readed recently.

The name of it is "Black Wax"

It means that you let evaporate all the solvents, so that you get a gummy dark substance which you can take orally for example

Do someone know how much i have to dosage to get an mid-dosed trip from the black wax ? I did mixed up 10g salvia leaves with acetone in a locked jar and I will let it be for a few days.. So my question is ,how much blackwax will i get and how do i have to dose it orally ?

Do someone maybe have Trip reports from Black wax ?

thanks for your attention :)

Not feeling strong effects from 20x

From everything I've researched and read on salvia the recommendations have been to start real low and work your way up in doses. My first time doing salvia was about a month back by smoking .2 g joints of 20x, I did this about 4 times and had pretty good results, I felt reality fold apart with my eyes opened and I saw the room I was in in 3rd person. I was able to really controll how much I was feeling it with the joint but obviously I wasted a fair amount doing that. So now, from the same source of salvia I have been doing it out of a small water pipe. Between those sessions I learned you should burn it hotter with a butane torch, so I started doing that to. I dabled at first with just a very few flakes, maybe .02g as recommended, with mild effects but I wanted to go further so I tried .06. a couple seconds after exhaling that, I didn't feel it so I did another .06. still not insane results so I went for a whole .12 and still the results weren't mind blowing. From what I'm describing here does it sound like I could be doing something wrong, or should I just keep working up to bigger doses? One concern I have is that I'm somehow burning it TO hot with the butane torch? Thanks for any responses.

first trip, need feedback

So i wanted to tried salvia for a long time and finally bought 1g of 10x extract a few days ago. I decided to try it without a tripsitter because the peoples i know aren't very drug friendly. Also i have no experience with psychedelics and so far the only drug i used is weed. Also, i don't have any sort of smoking device anymore so i made myself a homemade bong with a plastic bottle. As you can see, the context is probably not ideal at all do try salvia but i wanted to do it anyway. To still be safe, i planned to take very low doses for my first try. I figured that i would take 20mg of the 10x to begin with and depending on the effect, increase the dose gradually fo the next hits. I ended up doing 4 hits in the course of something like 1h30. For the first one (20mg) it didn't do much to me, so i took another one with the same dose. for those 2 hits, i felt some sensations and i know it was not placebo, but the intensity was very very low. For the next hit, i packed approx 50mg in my bong and smoked it. now, what happened is that i felt some sensations in my body, but i still wasn't very intense. But as i was more interested in the effects this plant can have on my mind, i decided to close my eyes, and i felt like small entities wanted to take me to some strange place. This didn't scared nor stressed me at all and i wanted to follow them, but for some reason, i still was to lucid and i really had to concentrate to feel the effects, because for example, i if oppened my eyes at this moment, everything would be back to normal. It's like the salvia wanted to take me to some place but i was too lucid for it to really take me. For the 4th hit, i also did 50mg, and this time, the effects were pretty much the same, just a bit stronger. I just felt like i was becoming part of some sort of fabric and i was just a piece of string, but again to feel that i really had to concentrate on the effects and try to not think about being on my bed in my room. Now, after taking those 4 hits, i decided to not take more this time, so got to my computer to watch youtube, but at some point, i felt like i was in fact still tripping, like everything i was doing now was all in my mind, and that at some point i would just wake up in my bed. I thought this was funny because upon thinking more about it, i figured i had absolutely no way to know if this was true or not. But anyways, this didn't bothered me at all and i just forgot about it. Now i think this first "trip" (i don't know if you can really call that a trip) showed me what this plant is capable of but only in a very subtle way and i think i better understand what would be the effects of a stronger dose. For example, i often read in trip reports that peoples become objects, or dissolves into atoms or things like that, but if you haven't done any psychedelics before like me, it's very had to imagine. Now, i feel like i can better imagine what that would feel like.

Also somethings i forgot to mention:

before smoking, i did some meditation to get myself in the mood.

I took the salvia while sitting on my bed in my room with the only source of light being the lights from the street peaking trough my window (it was during the night).

While smoking, i held the smoke for 20-30s each time.

For the doses, i just eyballed those by successives divisions of my initial gram.

I also have aphantasia and i was really curious about how this could affect the visuals i could get from salvia (and psychadelics in general). (for those who don't know aphantasia is when you are not able to visualise images in your mind)

Now that you have the whole story, i have a few questions.

First, did the thing where you questionned whether you were still tripping or not after also happend to other peoples ? Also, when this happened to me it was like 20-30 min after my last hit, but i thought that salvia effects only lasted for like 5-10 mins so i'm also curious about your opinion on that.

During my session, i didn't have any visuals. Do you think it's just because i didn't take enough or do you think it's because of the aphantasia ? also if you yourself have aphantasia, i'm curious about your experience with salvia and psychedelics in general.

Do you have any suggestion for if i decide to try again another time ?

Thank you to everyone who will take the time to read and reply to my story.

Don’t trust discreet packaging (UK)

if you’re getting international shipping to the UK by law they will cover it in “herbal supplement” and it will say it’s from the Netherlands

it won’t literally say salvia, but I found out the hard way that people can read between the lines 💀

i think i burned the shit out of my lungs, no results

today i tried smoking salvia first time. 400 mg plain leaf. I generally don’t smoke, but with weed i don’t cough much. I held a torch up to my tiny bowl and inhaled as the leaf lit up. Filled my lungs with harsh smoke and covered my mouth with my hands to stop myself from violently coughing. Had minimal effects of all the leaf (two bowls packed, hits held 10-20 sec) and now i’m kinda disappointed. should i change my method of smoking, make my own extract, or give up and just quid? God my throat hurts

Only positive experiences?

I've tagged this as Trip Report / Experience, but I also kinda want to ask if anyone else experiences trips like I do?

So, I've tried salvia a few times now, and from what I read, you can get horrible experiences from these trips.

But for me, I've only had 'good' trips.

Besides the weird, best way I can describe it is being constantly flipped around by rainbow zipper bridges, which sounds insane, but somehow makes sense to me? Anyways.

During these trips, instead of the feeling of being played with, tortured, melting, becoming an object, those things, I felt like I was being guided through the trip, I felt like myself, I felt like a child, being guided through kindergarten, being cared for, feeling like I actually had a childhood.

Coming down from the trip and being able to see objects again, (definitely still tripping though) everything looked flat, but my room somehow looked like an actual children's room, like, I recognized the things of today, as the things of today, but like I was in a different, more peaceful place where nothing could go wrong, because I was a child, and being cared for.

I felt safe, cared for, and that everything was going to be okay.

Like, this feeling is the complete opposite of what I often read about.

Given I am extremely careful and don't do a lot but gradually, not every time, but keep adding slightly more, (I am aware of the reverse tolerance thing, and do actually notice that it becomes more potent), but still...

Also, probably because the setting is almost the same every time so far, my trips have all been extremely similar. (I've had 3 trips)

Also also, I wanted to add, that I do have DID, autism and tourettes, and I don't know if that causes me to have a 'good' time, but I'm kinda crying right now, typing this out... Not sure why.

Also, sidenote, apparently, during the trip, I cleaned up the pipe and salvia, surprisingly neatly, so idk what happened anymore...

I'm just kinda confused about this still, and I'm definitely sober, it's been 6 hours since the trip.

Just getting started with Salvia

Hi everyone,
I am seeking some advice and guidance with Salvia. I have experimented with cannabis and psychedelics in college, and am feeling called to try Salvia. So far the knowledge I have is from a few podcasts-- where is a good place to find trustworthy information, where to buy, and how to engage with the plant? Would love to hear your thoughts on where to start!

What does the package look like when salvia seller arrives in the mail?

I ordered salvia. I live with my parents. I’m hoping that if they beat me to the mailbox, they will find a box with my name on it instead of baggies of salvia. Can someone tell me what it looks like when salvia arrives in the mail?

Experiencing the conveyor belt on… alcohol?

Some time ago I used to be a very heavy drinker. It was to the point that I was suspended in hypnagogia for much of my time immersed in delirious states.

I can distinctly remember recurrent visions of working at a conveyor belt. It had a very peculiar look to it, like a vintage film overlay. Usually it was moving boxes of bottled mustard, which I don’t really understand but I guess it doesn’t need to make sense. Anybody ever been a typical household condiment on salvia?

I haven’t done salvia, but eventually after I quit drinking I learned about salvia and its archetypes. In that case, I found my conveyor belt experiences interesting and wanted to share.

Salvia alternate life hyperbolic time trip?

I just saw this video where this guy smokes salvia and lives an entire alternate life and lasted 8 years. He was aware he was tripping in this alternate life. He said he completely became atheist, learned the ukulele, learned to be around with people in the trip and all that information transferred to his real life.

I was wondering if I can achieve this with this substance. Learn many skills, get advice, experience new things you’ve never done in your real life.

Has anyone else experienced a trip where you lived another life and kept the information you learned from your other life?

Extract

Good afternoon,

I’m about to start the process of making extract but I have a few questions regarding Acetone. I have acetone at my house and it claims to be pure 100% acetone. It is ONYX Brands Pure Acetone Nail Polish Remover - 16 fl oz. I’m aware it is supposed to be used as a nail polish remover but I’m figuring acetone is acetone so there shouldn’t be a problem. Except for the fact it says it also contains Denatonium Benzoate. I was wondering if I could still continue with the extract or if I need to go out and buy anhydrous acetone.

Thank you .

How to prepare for my first trip?

I have done DMT (150mg oral, 20mg smoked) and mushrooms (2g oral) and next up is Salvia!

I have 10g dried leaves and a bowl. What methods do you guys recommend? I have no reverse tolerance, so should I start high (1-2g?). I learned to inhale while using my torch and hold in for a long time with DMT through the meth pipe, so I'm confident I can get a huge rip out of it if I want.

Are there any tips you guys have? set, setting, method, dose, expectations, anything?

First time and I'm disappointed

I've been curious about salvia, I've done lots of other psychedelics, but never tried salvia. I did some research and ended up ordering from salvia dragon. Order just got here, no ones around today figured why not, smoking it only lasts a few minutes anyway. I ordered the 40x and 30 gs dried leaves. Wanted to start small out of fear of the unknown. I packed a small one hitter with a tiny bit of extract sandwiched between a lil dried leaf. Nothing. Packed another. Nothing. Packed a lil bit bigger one. Nothing. Maybe a tiny buzz. I cant really tell cause I have hppd everything always looks as if I'm a lil buzzed. Anyways I kept packing lil hits until I got frustrated and pulled out the old bong. Packed a decent bowl. Took a few medium hits of it. Still nothing. Snapped the rest of the bowl. Maybe I'm a bit buzz but it's nothing even compared to when I smoke weed. Am I doing something wrong or is this stuff just really inconsistently potent? I held all my hits in for a few seconds, and now my lungs feel like shit. If this is what $45 gets me ima just say I'm good and wait until I can make my own, I have about 4 salvia plants growing right now. And I am aware that many say to quid the leaves instead of smoking, but I have attempted that many times and it never works, I always keep it in for like 30 mins or until I'm about to yack from the taste. In a state of disappointment and regret rn.

Does smoking salvia actually make you live an alternatate life?

I was on a school trip in germmany a fews ago and a friend has mentioned salvia and its crazy hallucination effects ( how a guy lived an alternative life, people being objects etc.) I am young and have no intentions taking any hallucinates or even any sintetic drug. I only smoked weed in small doses. Even weed is too much for me sometimes i get scared af.

Basically he told me about salvia and it really intrigued me. I started watching vids qbout people living an alternate lifes and i just can't imagine it doing those kind of things. I won't deny it i have never taken a hallucinate. I just want to know if it does those kind of things. ( please don't shit on me i just wanna know + sorry for bad english im in a hurry and im not from english speaking country)

Any tips on how to have a "good" salvia trip?

Always interested in trying salvia, and it's legal where I live. However, there are so many horror stories about it out there. But for a community like this to exist, it probably means that people have good experiences with it. So, what are your tips on how to have a good trip on salvia?

Empty snus pouches/tea bags to hold leaves for quidding?

Anybody try these to quid? I've only chewed salvia a couple times but it was difficult logistically for me. The taste was bad but sufferable, the little splintering leaf bits and stuff made my mouth feel like I was choking the whole time

I think if I put leaf flakes carefully into some empty snus pouches or maybe a tea bag I can keep them in one place and make the whole thing easier to do, thing is I've never used snus & the pouches look way too tiny and tea bags aren't made to be chewed lol

Might try it anyway just for kicks, but let me know what yall think!!
