Salvia Divinorum

[thesphinx]

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone else on here has tried Salvia Divinorum.
I recently tried after some extensive research, and thought it was quite interesting.
For those who dont know what salvia is it is a plant in the sage family that is originated in mexico. you smoke the leaf and it causes a "trip" but really is not comparable to any other psychedelic drug.
It is legal in most countries if you are over 18.
The active ingredient is salvorin A - B

I have not, but my boyfriend has. You may have heard some good reviews, and had a good trip, but if you try again just be aware that a bad trip is possible, and that can be really nasty. Christy has taught me a lot about drug trips, it seems, and I have to say that a bad trip on salvia might suck an awful lot. You have to go into it with a good attitude, apparently. Did that seem to affect your trip at all? Christy refers to the stuff almost like it's own separate entity, and he says that if you don't respect it things won't go well. He wrote up a description of his first trip on the stuff, for a site that has a lot of info about various drugs as well as a lot of experience stories from people who've used em; objective, make-of-it-what-you-will sort of information. It's long, so I'll link you to another post I quoted it in here (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showpost.php?p=273291&postcount=2). I don't know if you're considering trying it or just curious about it, but if you are thinking about trying it just be careful. It's legal most places, and it's not as dangerous as some other drugs (of course, anything will kill you in a large enough dose xP). His opinion seems to be that thee biggest danger, when used responsibly, can just be the fact that you may not be prepared for what you see. Take any "revelations" with a grain of salt, and don't use it just to see pretty colors and expect it to be great. Let it do for you what it will.

I think the reason why attitude has such an effect on your trip, is because it sounds a lot like getting deep into your own head. It's not just seeing colors and shapes, it's often accompanied by revelations and some powerful stuff. Christy says a good trip is worth it, on occasion. Not a good recreational drug, like something you might take relatively often at parties and such, but great if you're willing to learn a bit about yourself and let your mind explore things. It's intriguing, you must admit. I mean, "the secrets of life".

How did it all go for you, if I may ask?

I would consider trying it, but not unless I were off my meds. I just couldn't risk the mix-ups. I can easily research what drugs will react with amphetamines, which would tell me to skip my Adderall for a solid day or even two before trying it, to be sure it's not in my system (it's pretty much gone after 12 to 24 hours). I can't, however, really judge effectively what will react to my other stuff. I can read the surgeon general's warnings, but everyone's a little different. I don't want to risk it, you know? Sounds interesting, though.

Thanks for the post, I'll explain the trip a little here.
One thing I thought was nice about Salvia is that the trip really only last between 5-15 minutes and after that about an hour of kind of "stoned" feeling.
Anyway to the story.
Me and my two friends went to a peaceful field by a stream and kind of had a "picnic" with a blanket food etc.
Got used to the environment waited until dusk and than I took the first hit of salvia ( I had done quite a bit of research about the drug before this so I knew what to expect )
We had a designated trip "sitter" and I took one big hit of the smoke, held it in my lungs for about 30 seconds then lied down and let the smoke out.
You immediately feel a little light headed but are still fine and then about 3 seconds later it hits you full on.
I was lying down looking at these three stars and than I thought I should close my eyes, when I did that the stars shot down these lasers and made this weird pattern then they formed these wall type shapes and all of a sudden I became one of this walls and they were all spinning and moving around in some sort of synchronized circle.
This went on for a few minutes and then all of a sudden I was in this extremely familiar spot (although I am not sure where it was) and it was just very quite and I slowly woke up from the trip after that.
I laid there for about 15 minutes and than was fully back in my body and was able to walk and even do a handstand.
the duration of the whole t rip was about 22 minutes but it felt like 2 hours.
Pretty cool and I felt really peaceful when on it.
But if you do it definitely do it with people you trust and you know will take care of you and like you said always go into it stress free and happy.

I have watched the videos.
I won't be trying it.

I've considered trying it before, but after seeing some of the videos on youtube and hearing about other people's experiences, salvia is one thing I will stay away from.

Whilst I know that some people do get good trips from it, you've got an equally bad chance of getting bad ones, and the trips from salvia are said to be a lot harder to control than trips from some other drugs.

The people on youtube piss me off sooo much they have no idea how to use this drug they think it's like a party drug and do it with all there friends and they all laugh and throw shit at the person and that is definitely why they have bad trips.
I am not trying to incourage drugs but with this if you know how to use it, it can be a really spiritual experience.
I do it with one other person in a quiet, safe, comfortable environment.
No wonder they make certain drugs illegal because no one knows how to use them.

Exactly!

If people just use the drug properly, everything would be great. Leave the person on the drug alone, and they'll be absolutely fine. :]

well ive never done salvia but i once took a whole eigth of gold caps, which was two giant caps and two long stems, it kicked in halfway through last period, immediate bad trip, i didnt even know thats what i took because the person gave me a shroomwhich with it mixed in t the peanutbutter and jelly, well anyway, i started tripping rlly bad like i was so scared i was sweating hella and stunk up the room then i ran home and tripped bad for about 6 hours then i smoked like 3 little buds of weed and it was a good trip, by the tiome it was midnight the trip was over and i fell asleep woke up the next morning feeling groggy but good, all i can say about trips is dont take them lightly no matter what hallucinogen, things dont make sense so just let your body do whatever, i remember being afraid of the light in my window and the rug for no reason and pacing around while twittling my finger for hours, i could draw like crazy though and my art skills have improved from it, the thing about bad trips on mushrooms is you can learn a lot about who you are and what you really feel since all the bad thoughts and feelings come to the surface, im recieving therapy since it was such a high dose and very long and traumatizing but i deffinately wouldnt pass up on it, if it werent for that trip i would still be smoking weed all day and be thinking like an irresponsible child who lies to his parents and steals from his friends just to smoke weed, so pathetic, if your gunna do a hallucinogen be with someone who has tripped multiple times and will pull you out of a bad trip, always take a small dose and wait two hours before deciding whether youve peeked, but i wouldnt recommend it, some people trip bad and it ruins there life, you dont know what your brain chemistry is so why fuck with it?

A friend and mine bought some at Niagra Falls, the man there said it was for 17+ so my friend bought it.
We were thinking about using it, and I'm sure she still has it in her bag, but I've never tried anything before, so she thinks I should work my way up. What would you suggest? I'm very interested in trying it, I've done some research and it seems like the trips are pretty hardcore. :)
