here is the account that I posted in the Ethnobotanical forum
What follows is an account of my experiences last night but first let me start with a few recources that I have found to be invaluable, the first is a book named The Psychedelic essence of Salvia Divinorum, it is by D. M. Turner
it has everything you need to know & more including multiple trip reports. (ISBN number: 0-9642636-2-9)
(incidentally another book by the same guy called the essential psychedelic guide, although now out of print, is available on the net here it is definitely worth a look)
the second is a web page called sage wisdom it is basically a brief users guide encompassing all of the main points that you need to know before experimenting with Salvia. also see erowid's salvia vault for other info.
now on with the story.
Myself & one of my friends have been Interested in Salvia and the whole ethnobotanical scene for quite a while now, I have been growing Mushrooms &san pedro & he has set up a hydroponics system for MJ as well as tomatoes & other herbs etc...
we decided to get some salvia divinorum cuttings sent to us from Bouncing Bear Botanicals & we were especially pleased to learn that we would get a free gift of 1 gram of 5x salvia extract as well, there was a mixup with the order & lots of messing around with customs & excize but eventually I got this extract & it sat in my draw waiting for an opportune time.
Last night I went over to my friends house with my specially purchased salvia pipe
after the obligitory spliff or two & a cup of tea we decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about, as I said we had a gram & at the time we didnt really know how much we should smoke so we split the gram into four & I loaded up my pipe.
Neither of us really knew what to expect, I wouldnt have been surprised at that time if we had smoked the lot & had no discernable effects. I had read so many reports of nothing happening.
I lit the pipe & breathed in as much as I could & held it for about 20 seconds as I breathed it out I remember thinking "oh nothings happened" & I said to my mate "its not very nice" (I dont really like bongs either, my friend said it was fine for him) at this point my mate went to get us a glass of water, as he left the room I took another lungfull (it was still burning) & held it.
As I breathed this second hit out I felt the room slide down to the left & my head drooped to my right, I felt a pins & needles sensation all down my left side including the left side of my face, it was as if there was a line seperating the two halfs of my body, my left side was floating free with no pressure on it at all, stretching away into the ether but my right side was still firmly ancored in the real world, I slumped to the side & in periferal vision I could see a landscape of infinate purple fracturals. I still had my eyes open & I had the sensation of being stretched out behind my body.
my mate had returned & quickly loaded up the bowl with a little less than a quater (I had mumbled that he probably didnt need all of the quater as I has seen that not all of mine had been used).
He took his hit, afterwards he told me that it had been like waking up from being passed out, he had no conception of who either of us were or where he was as he was piecing all the information back together I said "I think we had enough" & he eruppted into uncontrollable laughter (I was woried his kid was gonna wake up & we would get an earfull from his wife  )
we discussed our experiences over another joint & prepared ourselves for another journey, this time we loaded up an eighth of a gram each.
It was alot more intense the second time round, I sat back & closed my eyes suddenly people were talking in my head asking me who I was & why I was there, the voices then seemed to merge into one female voice, but it was not the young attractive voice I had expected, more a motherly but at the same time scalding voice she questioned my entire concept of myself stripping all of my ego down to my bare self the vulnerable sensative core of my soul, she was questioning where I was & wether my mate liked me & if I should be there, I felt young.
Then she went on to say that this was it! that reality was a dream & that I should go with her, that I was crazy (& fuck did i feel it) all this time my body felt as if it was hanging from reality into an abyss of purple fracturals by the top left portion of my head, I still couldnt let go & eventually normality began to return. she was telling me I could go with her & that would be it, I could wander the universe,
when she realised I was still grasping at reality she became a little more annoyed & asked me again why I was there, I replied that I wanted to be her friend that I wanted to share myself with her, I was quite scared at this point, almost pleading & a litte taken aback, & very humbled, I was as innocent as a child all my protective barriers were gone, there was just me & her.
I was afraid that I would never come back to reality(WHY!!!). as I came out of it I tried to remember everything she had taught me so that I could recount it to my friend
I looked over at him just as he opened his eyes & I said "dude I have so much to tell you!" he laughed & said "yeah me too"
we had another spliff, more dicussions & another cup of tea
& we prepare for the third & final trip of that evening, Unfortunately I dont rememer much about this trip. after inhaling I laid back & smiled thinking to myself it was ok & I would return to reality having learned a huge lesson but I still couldnt let go completely, once again my body stretched away but part of be still was clutching & although I was trying to let go I couldnt. I remember talking once again to the female voice (the goddess?) she told me that I haddn't had enough (previously I had taken two lungfull & this time I only took one) she said she couldnt take me because she couldnt get enough control.....or somthing like that
we finished there for the night & although we still had a bit left decided to leave it for the time being we had a last spliff to cap of the night & I headed home.
I awoke this morning to fing that my Salvia Divinorum cuttings had arrived  .........some things are ment to be
