Last weekend I purchased 2 grams of 10x salvia. from a local head shop.
After a while of sitting around smoking some MJ with a few close friends I decided to get it out. I told everyone about it and its supposed effects and they seemed interested. I took the first hit (out of a medium sized water pipe). within 30 seconds I was off the couch I was sitting on and laying on the floor with the world spinning around me. it was pretty cool until I started feeling very sweaty and like 1000's of tiny needles were inserting into my skin, this was most unpleasant, Alas shorty it all subsided and I came back to reality.
Next was my friend M. He had never tried the stuff so I gave him a few warnings, yet he really didn't listen. I loaded it up and he took a giant hit and held it for about 35 seconds. I told him he should set the water pipe down but he just motioned "its alright no need". And as he dropped the pipe and leaned back into the couch I watched the stages of its effects.
1st: the sitting confused wondering when things are going to start happening
2nd: the uncontrollable large smile when everything starts to become soft and dreamlike.
3rd: then it hits him, he is in a totally different world and this world is life after death.
He explained to me that he was near the ceiling looking down on all of us as if he had died. (at this point he gets up and starts running around). later explained that all he could think was "this is my lame ass death" and that while running he was trying to escape his death and come back to life.
5 minutes later he is still coming down. After getting him seated back on the couch he says "the electricity..... it's like.....controlling me, my every movement.......I just don't understand"
During this entire time he was non responsive to our trying to talk him down. Actually he couldn't even say "Yes" when we asked if he was alright. This non responsiveness/ lack of motor skills has occurred in most of the salvia trips I have witnessed.
I gave some to another friend that was very interested and while on it he walked pacing in circles saying "fuck, oh fuck, man.....fuck, shit man" Then towards the end he got out "my knees feel funny".
Anyway, my advice to anyone who wants to try it for the first time. You must have a lot of respect for this herb, definitely have a trustworthy sitter, and put down the smoking tool used/lighter ASAP.
