Hey guys,
Here I am going to speak on my profound, albeit limited experience with Salvia Divinorum, which I tried for the first time around 6 years ago, then again around 4 years ago, each time having a most ineresting and vivid experience, that both times shared some of the same elements, both then both had their own stuff going on, too.
Being an experienced tripper (Sid & Psilo) for a long time prior to these experiences, I felt curious about Salvia and so purchased a mid-strength concentrate from local head shop, I think x 10 or x 15 strength. I chose a night, put a little pinch from the vial into the pipe, put the flame to the leaves and inhaled...The very INSTANT that I began to exhale I felt a massive spiral surge of energy in my body, rising up from my stonach quickly in a spiral twisting motion and as soon as it reached my neck and went into my head two things happened simultaneously. Firstly, part of my consciosuness was teleported into the car parl directly accross from my house, about 20 metres from my front door. It was weird because it didnt feel like I was stood IN the car park, rather it felt like I WAS the car park..literally like I was part of the conete, then part of the stones, just part of its very essence. As this was happeningI lost control of my hands and dropped the pipe and lighter on the floor, so stood up and in the process pushed the chair I was sat in onto the floor by accident (it was a desk chair on wheels) and when I tried to pick it up (it was quite light in weight) it was MERGED INTO THE FLOOR and even as I HEAVED and STRAINED to lift the chair up it was just stuck, fast! At that very same time again, I looked around me, to the house Id lived in for a few years and was thus VERY well acquainted with its look and feel and general ambience, I was flabbergasted because it just looked totally, utterly like an absolute TV set, and a VERY LOW BUDGET one at that!! I can remember laughing and thinking to myself, "how the fuck havent I realised that this isnt real before?" perplexed at myself for falling for such a blatantly fake surrounding. As I pondered this, I felt the sensation like my my head was like a banana and the sensation of it being peeled like banana or unzipped like a zipper to reveal , ME....It was so surreal, even now typing I can feel the residual energy of it all, and the bittersweet feeling as it looked like whoever had just unzipped me was now peering over the edge, into my very soul, although I wasnt scared, per se, I felt a distinct pang of sadness as the feeling resonated that this isnt real at all, and then I was transported back to my childhood bedroom from agges 3-8, and then I remember thinking if this isnt real, then that (childhood) wasnt real and if THAT wasnt real, is Mum & Dad even real and the feeling build up inside of me and then, the next thing you know, I found myself in a dark auditorium with an audience who were all there to watch what was going on stage, which was what I can only describe as a TV Game Show where there was like a spinning wheel with screens on it, which were all different things about my life on there. It was crazy becuase it felt like I shouldnt be in there, and that "they" had seen I had managed to get in there and were now trying to roll the credits. Next thing I know, I am on stage with the Game Shows presenter with one arm around me with a firm grip, waving at the audience as the music plays and tonights episode draws to a close. It was like thy were trying to get me the hell outta there as I had somehow managed to get access to a restricted zone.. Then, after what was only a few minutes but felt like a lot longer, my consciosuness drifted back to every day wakefullness, and I came round, trying to make sense and process what had just happened. I don't know what I expcted really, but never did I think it would hit so hard, so fast and cram so much into such a short space of time. I actually found it very interesting each time, the two or three times I did it, although I havent tried it since. An interesting plant for sure, that I feel sorry for, misprepresented my a plethora of youtube videos of people just spazzing out off it.

What I found particularly interesting about the Salvia experiences I had was the same things I experienced on the seperate occassions, namely the merging with inanimate objects, the whole "this-isnt-real" ambience, and the "game-show" scenario, as per above. Oh yeah, also the unzipping of my head to reveal its secrets, which one time felt like a zipper, as per above, but the other time felt like someone was unscrewing a compartment in my skull, just like we do when changing the batteries on for example, a childs toy. Also, the childhood feelings it invoked were present on all occassions, as was the rising spiral of energy that set things off after the initial inhale....All in all very interesting and profound experiences.
